The Israeli position is that the West Bank is under occupation like the Russian position is that what they’re doing in Ukraine is a “special operation” and not an invasion.

Oh, give me a break. It’s certainly Israel’s position that the West Bank belongs to Israel and in every practical sense they treat it that way.

Gaza also in theory does not belong to Israel, but Israel feels free to decide what people and things can and can’t go into Gaza, and to drop bombs on it.

If you look on Google Maps, what country is Ramallah in?

“Everyone else hires cops who got fired from other departments in other jurisdictions for egregious misconduct, why can’t I?”

Yeah, I don’t, because “Jews worldwide are not affiliated with the State of Israel and do not unconditionally support it” is not something that a child picks up naturally with age, like fine motor skills or vocabulary or puberty.

It’s a concept they can be taught at 11 as they are taught about Israel’s misdeeds at 11. Otherwise your argument that they are too young at 11 could apply at any age.

Besides, do we worry this much about stirring up anti-Muslim bigotry when we talk about human rights abuses by Saudi Arabia or Iran to young people? No we do not. Israel is not special.

I’m also Jewish. Tying up the fate of the Jewish Diaspora with the state of Israel has not done us any favors. We can, should, and must draw a distinction between ourselves and the State of Israel. Part of that means dealing honestly with Israel’s human rights abuses as we ought to with America’s or any other country’s.

Why can’t middle schoolers learn that the Israeli government, like many governments past and present, oppresses an ethnic minority within its own borders? If middle schoolers can understand similar situations in other countries without a problem, why can’t they understand it in Israel?

In the way that a book about the Trail of Tears is anti-America, sure.

I refuse to believe that this “Penny Mordaunt” person is real and not a character from a Lemony Snickett book.

Or a monster from the Old Kingdom.

Mom only uses the page to keep up with other old geezers, none of her kids who she would wish happy birthday to are on Facebook LOL

Back off I made that comment first.

(LOL J/K it’s fine.)

“Phishing as a service” has recently become a thing so if this does not already exist in some form I bet it will soon.

You can also change it to a memorial page. I remember when there was a big fuss over what would happen to people’s social media feeds (especially Facebook) after they died. My mom told me it’s my job to lock her Facebook page after she passes.

This is how it worked in that Black Mirror episode. I wonder if you can prevent it in your will!

Wasn’t there a Black Mirror episode about this?
