@Glinner Thing I love about the original is that the stakes are so low. Dekard is basically just trying to do his job and get through the day. Not save the world or be a hero.

@SCynic1 He’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I just had a delightful conversation with him and apparently I’m a cunt for not being Jewish in the way he wants Jews to be Jewish.

@strxwmxn Tu BiShvat was a tax date in ancient Israel. Jews all over the world celebrate a day when we used to have to pay taxes in Judea.

Many call Passover the quintessential Zionist holiday, but the entire Jewish calendar is deeply structured around Israel. Even Purim, set entirely in exile, is about the fragility of Jewish life without sovereignty.

@Bodysatnav Let the hate out. It won’t make you strong enough to change anything about me or any other Jew. And I like the fact that that’s true. I like the fact that it annoys you. Because you are a vile racist.

@ExiledBusker Good god. Such arrogance. Listen to what I sent to you. A Jew who's a thousandfold your better, & wiser by light years (But to be fair most of us probably are from the drivel you spout). Don't you see how meaningless what you say is? It's like advertising/marketing crap. Nothing

@Bodysatnav Jews get to decide who we are. We don’t have to be Jewish in the way you want us to be. We’ve survived countless horrors for millennia. We will continue, and there’s nothing you can do about it. I enjoy your racist hatred. I enjoy defying it by simply breathing.

@Bodysatnav I’m sorry I’m not the ‘enlightened’ pet Jew you want. We get to decide who we are not you. I’m sorry that your racist hatred of Jews is so toxic. It’s a bad way to be.

@ExiledBusker What you've just said contradicts every enlightened Jew I've ever come across both here and in the wider media. Not to mention the venerable Rabbi Elhanan Beck who I listened to just the other day. Your last comment is frankly astonishing. What a sad deluded cunt you are Michael.

@Bodysatnav Almost every Jew is a Zionist. It’s part of who we are. Our prayers for 2000 years have been to return home. I do not want the Palestinians exterminated. It is the Palestinians who continually refuse peace deals offered because they prefer to kill Jews.

@ExiledBusker Why? I see you are Jew. But most enlightened Jews outside if Israel are not Zionist. So why? Maybe you are a Zionist, one of the ones espousing extermination of Palestinians. Is that it? Just to be clear why you said that.

@idkwhoiamanyway @Nadira_ali12 Being a Jewish child outside marriage affects how you get treated in religious terms. That’s why it’s controlled. To prevent discrimination. But testing is perfectly legal, and yes, DNA evidence proves conclusively that all Jews are from Israel originally.

"The Romans occupied England in the 5th century, so anyone of Roman descent has a historical claim to the land." It's one of the best sketches I've ever seen, it is so accurate and highlights the situation in Palestine.

@HenMazzig Jesus was a Palestinian Jew. Having grown up in the Catholic faith this is nuts and bolts. Nothing new. The difference is the Jesus who existed was a pacifist, against corruption and definitely would have spoke out loudly about racism and apartheid.

In John 2:13, Jesus goes to Jerusalem to celebrate Passover. In Luke 2:21 Jesus was circumcised on the eighth day, in accordance with Jewish law. In Luke 4:16, Jesus described as regularly attending synagogue and participated in Shabbat prayers. In Matthew 2:2, the Magi ask: “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews?” In John 19:19, the inscription on the cross reads: “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” Jesus was, in fact, a Jew who lived in what is now modern-day Israel.

@jewssf @cezthesocialist I have no idea what point you’re trying to make. Almost all Jews are Zionists. It’s baked in to being Jewish. Our daily prayer calls for the diaspora to gather and rebuild Jerusalem. Prayer after meals is similar. If you hate Zionists you hate almost all Jews. Simple.

@ExiledBusker @cezthesocialist You said 95%. Dishonest Zionists are 100% of Zionists. People can hate a racist ideology without hating its supporters. 63% is nothing like 95% & many of that 63% might not talk about it especially with people they know don't like it. All Zionists are racist but some are quiet.

There is nothing in the Passover Seder that directs Jews returning to Zion to engage in the oppression of any other group of people. The core themes of the story of Exodus from Egypt are all focused on themes of liberation, freedom from slavery and justice.

@jewssf @cezthesocialist I’m saying the overwhelming majority of Jews are Zionists. If you hate Zionists you hate almost all Jews. Antizionism is unavoidably antisemitic.

@ExiledBusker @cezthesocialist You're using racists and Jews as interchangeable terms. Of course there's a distinction between Jews who are racist and Jews who are not. Some people aren't comfortable with racists.

@ExiledBusker @PhilipProudfoot And you haven’t answered the question. Though I know the answer. You can’t let them in, cause then it won’t be a Jewish state, as jews would be a minority. So, while enjoying right of return yourself, you deny it to people continuously having lived there, who you kicked out.

Today’s Palestinians were once Jewish, then some became Christians, then later they became Muslims. The great stupidity of statements like this is that, if Israelis even want to make this argument, then it means they’ve committed a genocide against their ancient ancestors.

The Jewish people are indigenous to Israel.

@ilias_hdz @PhilipProudfoot Before 1948 they called themselves Palestinians. Most Israelis are from the region. There were fully arabized jews living there and in 1492 many Sephardic Jews settled there and mixed with them. By mid 19thC Jews were the largest group of people in Jerusalem.

@ExiledBusker @PhilipProudfoot How would you call Jews who lived in historic Palestine. Obviously, back then, Israel didn't exist either. So it wouldn't make much sense to call them israelis. Especially considering israelis are mostly not from historic Palestine in contemporary history.

@GenieFromTheB @PhilipProudfoot That’s the question isn’t it? How do we have an accommodation that’s fair to all. In Israel proper there are Arab Muslims with equal rights to Jews. But elsewhere the Palestinians make constant war on Israel and refuse all peace offers. Every war they fight they lose more & more.

@ExiledBusker @PhilipProudfoot Some of you left. Some remained. Can Palestinian refugees who left during Nakba come back on their territories by the same logic? There are Palestinians living continuously in Israel, so they should have the same right of return as jews have, right?

@seaplaneguy @Nadira_ali12 Judeans are Israelites. It is entirely unambiguous to say that as it is a plain fact. Not sure why your tiny brain can’t accept this basic and unarguable truth.

@ExiledBusker @Nadira_ali12 In 930 BC ancient Israel divided into "Israel" (lost ten tribes) and Judea (Judah and Benjamin). The ten tribes were known as Israel and Judahites were in Judea. This is basic history that all should know. The name Israel does NOT apply to Judahites. Name theft...fraud.
