>> #China is responding to #IranWar on 2 parallel tracks using the precise language that #US is “addicted to war.”

As part of its 25-yr “Comprehensive Strategic Partnership” with #Iran, China successfully derailed the #Arab - #Israeli peace process by brokering a secret #rapprochement between Iran and its mortal enemy #SaudiArabia just 7 months before #Oct7 attacks on #Israel.

#Russia, which is China's #juniorPartner, is helping on a "parallel track"

Teaneck has long been known as a town where #Jews were welcome. Not so much these days, even with its hefty Jewish population. #antisemitism #Oct7 #hatecrimes #mistrust #trumpeffect

"#JudyBlume, the acclaimed #author of young people’s #novels, saw resurged interest in her work in 2023. One of her most famous #books, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, hit the big screen as an acclaimed feature-length #film; that same year, Amazon released a #documentary about her, Judy Blume Forever. Meanwhile, Mark Oppenheimer—a #writer, podcaster, editor and teacher at the John C. Danforth Center on Religion and Politics—was asked by the author herself to write her #biography.

Months after the Blume bonanza, #Oct7 happened. And while this has little bearing on the public’s appreciation of Blume work, The CJN’s opinion editor, Phoebe Maltz Bovy, got to wondering: would the world be so excited about a #Jewish writer (who writes openly Jewish characters) if her #movies were slated for 2024 instead?"

"A few weeks ago, I published an op-ed in eJewishPhilanthropy titled “How the language of #Jewish #Peoplehood can move us forward from the current crisis” (Jan. 15). In that piece, I proposed shifting our focus toward revisiting the constitutive values of Jewish Peoplehood and providing fresh answers to foundational questions: What does being responsible for fellow #Jews mean today? Which components of our ethos remain vital? How do we navigate the tensions between these values when they clash?

In response, some readers asked: Why now? What has changed? What is the urgency?

So much has changed in Israel and the Jewish world since #Oct7, 2023, raising questions about some fundamental aspects of what it means to be a part of the Jewish People."

Why embracing Jewish Peoplehood is a matter of urgency

While "peoplehood," "shared fate" and "destiny" may sound abstract, they are the scaffolding of our communal and global enterprise.

@Nonilex If #Hamas does not disarm then the so called #peacekeeping force that will be deployed will do it. That is the expectation.

#Hamas has to go. It cannot be allowed to survive and repeat another #Oct7.

Ein Essay, der eine gute Analyse für die Abgründe vieler Linker bietet, lest gerne!

„Für den Autor als Anarchist ist es wichtig, dass Genoss:innen begreifen, dass der Vater vieler ihrer Einordnungen Stalin ist. Zu sehen, wie weltweit Anarchist*innen […] zum 7. Oktober Stellung bezogen haben, ist mit dem Begriff der Enttäuschung nicht zu fassen.

#Trump and #Netanyahu have killed about the same number of civilians in their initial strike on #Iran as #Hamas had killed in its initial strike on #Israel on #Oct7.

>> The #UnitedNations… said an estimated 100,000 people fled #Tehran in the first two days of the #US and #Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28 and March 1… where the death toll has climbed over 1,000 people, with "civilians bearing the brunt of this #war".

>> #France to Work With #China on De-escalating #Iran #War

France knows who's the boss.

China, not #US, is the real global #powerBroker that also has unidirectional sway over the insufferable trio — #Russia, #Iran, and #NorthKorea.

China is the one that isolated #Israel in the first place by secretly brokering a rapprochement between Iran and #SaudiArabia just 7 months before #Oct7 because China has its own ambitions in #MiddleEast. It might even help #Europe to further those.

>> " #Britain and #France joined #Germany… saying they “condemn Iranian attacks on countries in the region in the strongest terms,” referring to Iran’s retaliatory strikes on US bases in #Bahrain, #Qatar, the #UnitedArabEmirates and #SaudiArabia. They accused #Iran of “indiscriminate” attacks, but did not condemn the #US or #Israel for starting the war…"

Also, they supported Israel when it retaliated against #Hamas #Oct7 attacks by attacking #Gaza, #Syria, #Lebanon, #Yemen…

⬆️ #Oct7 was the bloodiest, most exquisitely planned, & successfully executed #electionInterference in US history… #China-brokered #rapprochement between #Iran & #SaudiArabia derailing #ArabIsraeliNormalization just 7 months prior was starting point. #Trump reelection was the result.

On his last full day as President of #US, #Biden said: "After so much pain, destruction, and loss of life, TODAY the guns in #Gaza have gone silent."
