Gordito Exitoso

It has always been

I’m not a fan of Bibi, I called for him to step down 2wks after Oct 7th, but I would remind everyone who thinks Bibi is solely responsible for the sizable drop in support for Israel among the American people: The anti-Israel/pro Hamas protests in America & Europe began on Oct 8th. On Oct 8th. The day AFTER 1,200 Israelis were butchered, massacred, killed, burned alive, and taken hostage. The anti-Israel protests began on Oct 8th. BEFORE Israel even responded to the terrorist attack. And those anti-Israel protests grew and grew way before Israel’s response really kicked in. So there’s something else going on here besides anti-Netanyahu stuff. Something much uglier, much more ancient, and much darker.

Israeli journalist @joshbreiner reveals a chilling reality: The High Court just ruled that police are exclusively targeting anti-government protests while ignoring other mass gatherings. "There is a war here over the identity of our country, a war over our democracy" Watch the full report below. 👇 #Israel #Democracy #TelAviv #unxeptable #bengvir #protest

"Desprecio por la vida", a un líder político de otro país, y mira que yo a Bibi no lo quiero ni un poco...

Es una oda a la inacción y el status quo

La UBA viene perdiendo estudiantes de clase alta contra las privadas caras (¿por qué recibirme en 6 años si puedo hacerlo en cuatro?) y estudiantes de clase media-baja contra las privadas baratas (mucho más compatibles con trabajar y estudiar)

En el CBC hay más alumnos que en ciertas facultades.

"The PA Is Moderate" - A Claim That Doesn't Survive Contact With Their Own Content Every Friday - "Juma Mubaraka" (Blessed Friday) - Palestinian Authority official media, mosques, and social channels flood with a consistent message: Jaffa is ours. Haifa is ours. Beer Sheva is ours. We will return. This isn't Hamas. This is the PA. The entity the international community keeps calling "moderate" and wants to run a future Palestinian state. Here's what people who make that claim need to reckon with: 1. Official PA television repeatedly broadcasts songs declaring "Jaffa, Acre, Haifa and Nazareth are ours" - naming cities deep inside sovereign Israel, not in the West Bank. 2. Senior Fatah officials say it plainly. Fatah Central Committee member Tawfiq Tirawi stated on Lebanese TV: "Don't you dare think there is even a single Palestinian who would agree that Haifa, Jaffa and Acre are not Palestinian. No. Haifa, Jaffa, Acre and Nazareth are Palestinian, despite the Americans and the Israelis." 3. PA children's programming tells kids that all of Israel is "the '48 lands" and that "all of this land belongs to us... and will return to us." This isn't fringe content. This is the official PA children's show. 4. PA textbooks (2025-2026) still show maps where Israel simply does not exist. The entire area from the river to the sea is labeled "Palestine." Tel Aviv doesn't appear. Israel is referred to as "the Zionist entity." A 10th-grade Islamic education textbook asks students: "Under what circumstances is jihad to liberate Palestine considered a personal duty for every Muslim?" 5. Even crossword puzzles in PA newspapers list Tel Aviv, Jaffa, Tiberias, and Haifa as "Palestinian cities." 6. PA sports coaches tell young athletes that "today we are Jerusalem, Haifa, Jaffa and Acre... today we are the Palestinian entirety." This is not about the West Bank. This is not about settlements. This is about Tel Aviv, Haifa, Beer Sheva - cities within Israel's pre-1967 borders. The PA signed a letter of intent with the EU in 2024 promising curriculum reform. The EU sent over 400 million euros based on that promise. An independent review found that as of late 2025, zero reforms had been implemented. So the next time someone tells you the PA is a moderate peace partner that just wants a state alongside Israel - ask them a simple question: If that's true, why does every piece of their own media, education, and political messaging tell their people they're coming back to Jaffa? The difference between Hamas and the PA isn't the goal. It's the timetable.

I envy the Israeli left. Not their politics. Their freedom. They march through Tel Aviv calling their own country an apartheid state. They go on CNN and call the IDF war criminals. They write op-eds in Haaretz comparing Israel to the worst regimes in history. They join NGOs funded by hostile governments to produce reports designed to delegitimize the Jewish state. And then they go home. Sleep in their beds. Send their kids to school the next morning. No one threatens their family. No one disappears them in the night. No one drags them from their home. Zero consequences. Now imagine, just imagine, if Iranians had 1% of that freedom. If an Egyptian columnist could criticize Sisi the way Gideon Levy criticizes Netanyahu. If a Palestinian in Ramallah could call Abbas corrupt on live TV and walk home safely. If someone in Gaza could have held a sign saying "Hamas does not speak for me" without being executed. The Middle East would be unrecognizable. The great irony is that the people who enjoy more political freedom than virtually anyone else in the region use that freedom to paint Israel as a tyranny while the actual tyrannies they're silent about would imprison or kill them for doing the same. You're not brave. You're spoiled. You mistake comfort for conscience. You scream "genocide" into a microphone the state itself protects, then sleep soundly in a democracy you spend your days trying to destroy, while millions across this region would trade everything they have for five minutes of the freedom you use to spit on your own country.

Ah, 1938, just a few years before Hitler and Stalin exterminated Jewish Labor Bund members, at least those Stalin hadn't already killed. Who was in the Bund? Jewish socialists convinced antisemitism would go away in the Workers' Paradise, and that somehow said Paradise would recognize Jews as a distinct nation among others, so that the Paradise would protect Jewish culture. Henryk Erlich, by the way, died in '42 in a Soviet prison. Maybe shot by the NKVD. Maybe suicide.

@BlewishAnd Why don't you cite something from the actual text we read in pesaj and not some unrelated interpretation of general teachings?

“Upon three things the world stands: on the Torah, on the avodah (worship), and on the performance of gemilut chasadim (acts of lovingkindness).” haam.org/upon-three-thi…

@QueenMab87 Like do you think "next year in Jerusalem" means Jerusalem, Ohio? Maybe you thought it meant Jerusalem, New Zealand. Possibly Jerusalem, New York? Let's not be complete idiots. The seder is literally about Jews leaving Egypt and going to Israel, the same location as Israel today

@restorativeprax @QueenMab87 Again, this is not to say that there are no universal themes to be read. But the text is really explicit: There is no mention of opening up your home to the injustices of the present. There *is* a *literal* mention to being free in the land of our ancestors, Israel.

@restorativeprax @QueenMab87 The redemption comes LITERALLY from returning to Israel. The hagadah story literally finished with the people returning and we saying we hope we can be there as they were. And the Tora ends with the israelites returning to the land!

Judaism isn’t a universalist religion but our values are meant to be universal. It’s why so many Jews have been engaged in larger social justice movements. We are absolutely meant to care about oppression against others

@BlewishAnd And the action is to be free on the land of our ancestors, eretz Zion, Yerushalaim.

"It is not the study that is essential, but rather the action." Pirkei Avot

@restorativeprax The seder was developed as a replacement for the korban am we gather around, we have a dinner (we go to the synagogue!) because we cannot make the sacrifice that was commanded anymore. The rite is really explicit: redemption will come when we are free on Israel

@GordExit The point of the seder is to show our children/us how *we* were slaves in Egypt, and the relevancy to our lives now. We consider what it means to be enslaved and free, and (Ha Lachma Anya) how to use empathy to open our homes (selves) to the poor, the mistreated, the enslaved.

The problem is that American Jews want to universalise the holiday. But Judaism is not a universal faith. It encodes the rites and customs of a People. Passover touches on universal themes because resistance to oppression and longing for redemption is...

@QueenMab87 The literal initial wordings of Zionism, from Basel to Balfour, mention a "Jewish home or homeland" in Israel. The writers of the original text and the Zionists in Basel had the same idea: to be free in the land of our forefathers, eretz Zion, Yerushalaim.

@QueenMab87 The holiday rites we do today, the hagada!, was developed after the fall of the second temple as a way of continuing a tradition after destruction and exile. The text says literally with a prayer, next year in Jerusalem.
