The wildest part of antisemitism to me is othering white Jews as non whites. It's a bizarre insight into how they view race. For white Jews are the most visible Jews to fascists - and I'd argue the rest of the western world/global north - and non white Jews are simply an oxymoron to them and categorized into other racial categories where they can be more comfortably discriminated against instead.

I think that's a lot of society in general. Things are harmful to kids because they are psyoped into thinking they should be scared by a thing. So certain actions are only traumatizing because society told them they need to be traumatized. Which applies to a LOT of stuff.

Trying to interact with kids in a less authoritarian way is super hard and difficult. So real impressive of u to do a decent job. Leaps and bounds better than anything I could pull off. Especially in ur curcumstanc e

Yeah honestly have no idea. I don't think it's bad or wrong. Tho I def thing kids could feel like a parent being drunk at home would be a super big thing to worry about due to cultural ideas of it being dangerous. So like everything it would be based on age appropriate conversations and being a good parent.

Is it not as simple as "they are terrorists"? She specifies "Isreal" and "Hamas" in her tweet. Isreal is a country, countries have civilian populations including women and children, while terrorist organisations only have terrorists.

She even highlights "CIVILIANS", "TODDLERS" and "BABIES" that are hostages - bad guys take hostages. Never mind the fact that the Palestinian people have been taken hostage since apartheid was started in Isreal/Palestine.

I've seen quite a few Jewish people who I would otherwise call politically left excusing what Isreal are doing. It's really wild.

Why stop at Israel? You could replace it with just about any group you support, and voila—you've made an instant, effective propaganda headline.

it's like we have to experience the pain of the news twice -- once with the actual news and then a second time with this bullshit
