Sheryl WeikalI have an absolutely scalding take that the cultural schism between the largely pluralistic, overwhelmingly progressive Jewish Diaspora and largely conservative, reactionary Israeli Jewish population is so great that we're not even really practicing the same religious or cultural tradition anymore,
and much of the Diaspora either doesn't realize it or is in outright denial because that would mean losing what they see as a potential safe haven, whilst the Israeli right is already well aware of it and that's why they mock the Diaspora and cozy up to Christian Nationalists instead.
Jacqueline@theleftistlawyer the Zionists are cozying up with antisemites and they both hate the Jewish diaspora

And they're quite eager to tell anybody who's not on board with all this that they're "not a REAL Jew".
Hideous cultural schism that's ripping friendships and families apart.
Morten Kjeldgaard@violetmadder @burnoutqueen @theleftistlawyer There is one state in the Middle East that has gone completely rogue and fascist and is in constant military aggression against its neighbors, its name starts with an i and it’s not Iran and it’s not Iraq.
your auntifa liza 🇵🇷 🦛 🦦@violetmadder @burnoutqueen @theleftistlawyer i remember a time when it wasn't normal here in nyc to claim you were a zionist or supported zionists ―even less the fuckery of christian zionism― because it was considered a reactionary, even an extremist and theocratic view of judaism. the shift has happened in my lifetime and it’s been mindboggling because, it couldn’t happen without a fascist revival. they go hand-in-hand.
@blogdiva @burnoutqueen @theleftistlawyer
YES.
All the big money anywhere is pumping up fascism everywhere, because they NEED IT to protect themselves from an increasingly frustrated rabble. Any nation, political or cultural or ethnic group has its fascist fringe getting amplified with direct contributitons and algorithmic boosting.
