@BretVDB The "tomorrow belongs to me" scene in the beer-garden is so perfectly shot. I can never forget the puzzled, deeply troubled expression on the old man's face as nazi-madness takes hold of his fellows. there's also that pig-faced guy -- whose clones today populate MAGA and TPUSA.

Cabaret is one of the most disturbing films that I’ve watched for a while - not that it is particularly graphic, but its implications are disturbing.

@EFischberger @TuckerCarlson Think Jewish, Live Zen-ish, Worship Voudon--ish. oh. and dress Italian-ish. that is, if you can afford it. and, for adepts only: Fuck Kabbalah--ish.

@TuckerCarlson You're both evil and an unbelievable coward, which somehow makes it even worse. x.com/i/status/20446…

America’s new civic religion is Israelism, Christianity without the New Testament, and it’s the most unforgiving faith of all.

@EinatWilf Back and forth, the Board is set We double-down, make foolish bets It's nothing but a reckless of Game of to and fro, 'Till back to Oblivion's Box one by one we go. - Omar Khayyam. now there's a Persian worth a damn. (rough translation by me)

And you are?

@adam_louis52328 Over the past year, I've watched morph from a serious, if somewhat over-prolix academic, into a media-particle wannabe, almost a shill. now you're calling Oct7 a "genocide?' you've become just like our enemies. I'm jewish, Israeli, zionist. but you've lost the plot.

Every single antizionist in the academy celebrated and supported the October 7th genocide. I saw it with my own eyes when I returned from an indigenous Amazonian village and opened my computer on October 9th, 2023. I will never ever forget it.

@EinatWilf If u wanna reshoot the "1984" ad, you can't have the runner attacking Big Sibling (not Brother!) with a hammer, but rather rushing to fling her phone into the Mediterranean pursued not by "thought police", but by a mob of settler thugs, Haredi parasites, and jihadist killers

היה לי הכבוד לפתוח את סדרת הראיונות של מתמודדים בבחירות הקרובות אצל חביב רטיג גור. השיחה כולה על פוליטיקה, מפלגת עוז, הרעיונות והפטיש 5 קילו שעוז מבקשת להניף אל עבר הזהויות (על משקל הפרסומת של אפל והאח הגדול מ 1984).

@Kulambq poets/troubadours who died too soon? Jim Morrison, Rimbaud, JImi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse -- and the most brilliant of this set: Isadore Ducasse, aka Le Comte de Lautremont.

I wish we had Keats, Shelley, Hopkins, Hart Crane, and Stephen Crane with us longer.

@PeterMoskos "Somedays" bakery at centre blvd. by 47th is great. a young greek guy owns it. Maiella is also terrific, right up the street. my younger son lives on the river there. great neighborhood for a young family; green parks, kool QPL branch but the UN ruins the Manhattan skyline!

I've commented on this. It's amazing in its magnitude. But it's also the worse skyline in the world. Nothing noteworthy on monumental. Dubai on the East River, I say. But without the Burj Khalifa.

@ElsHassan1987 @crawlings13 I knew some dumbass would say this. show some self-respect; educate yourself. Egypt blocked the Tiran straits and moved 100K troops into Sinai, an act of war even Nasser recognized yes, we struck first -- with out usual derring-do. and changed the ME balance of power forever.

@PMHalpern @crawlings13 It’s a historical fact that Israel attacked Egypt first in the 1967. If you’re lying about something like that, then nobody should take you seriously.

Egypt is a failed autocracy of 115 million people gifted with unfathomable cultural resources which squandered its role as regional crown jewel to relyp on an Israel-aligned West for basic financial subsistence. If I was Egyptian I would not be able to breathe between tragic sobs

@__Injaneb96 the sage Raymond Aron, then a refugee in London, was asked if he'd known the Jewish people of Europe were being murdered by the millions. “I knew, but didn't believe it, and since I didn't believe it, I didn't know it” Sardari was there, so he knew. and did something about it

✨The Iranian man who saved more Jewish lives than Oskar Schindler.✨ In the dark days of 1940, Nazi tanks rolled into Paris. Most diplomats fled. But one man stayed behind. His name was Abdolhossein Sardari, an Iranian consul from a noble family in Tehran. He was a Muslim. He was alone in the occupied city, with no orders from home and no backup. Iranian Jews living in France were suddenly in mortal danger. The Nazis marked them for death like every other Jew. Sardari refused to look away. He started by issuing new Iranian passports that simply left out any mention of religion. That small change gave families a fighting chance to move freely. But he went much further. Sardari used every trick of diplomacy and law he knew. He wrote letters arguing that these Iranian Jews, known as Jugutis, were not "real" Jews in the Nazi racial sense. They were Persians. They were Aryans by blood, he claimed, who had only adopted the faith of Moses centuries ago. He twisted the Nazis' own twisted logic against them. The Germans bought it enough to grant exemptions. Thanks to Sardari, hundreds of families were spared the yellow star, the roundups, and the trains to the camps. When that was not enough, he began issuing Iranian passports to non-Iranian Jews as well, hundreds of them, often using blank documents from the consulate safe. He sheltered desperate families inside the embassy building itself. When embassy funds ran dry, he spent his own money. He risked his career, his freedom, and his life every single day. One wrong move and the Gestapo would have taken him. By the end of the war, Abdolhossein Sardari is believed to have saved between 2,000 and 3,000 Jewish lives. After the war he returned to Iran, lived quietly, and never bragged about what he had done. When asked years later why he helped, he gave a simple answer: "It was my duty." In a time of pure evil, one brave Iranian diplomat chose humanity. His story reminds us that courage and decency can shine even in the heart of darkness. Never forget the quiet heroes who stood up when the world looked away.

@Kulambq "Solitude" Ursula Le Guin "Great Work of Time" John Crowley "Liner Notes: the song of Billy Bathgate" E.Doctorow "Unfinished Portrait of the King of Pain by Van Gogh" -- Ian McDonald

Which four short stories would you take to a desert island? I'd take these: 'The Blue Hotel' by Stephen Crane 'The Hunter Gracchus' by Franz Kafka 'The Dead' by James Joyce 'The Student' by Anton Chekhov As a side note, it would be very painful to part with Saki's stories.

@RabbiPoupko @EYakoby @NetanelCrispe @JessicaCostescu @CombatASemitism @EdWorkforceCmte relax, Rabbi. I am jewish, israeli, zionist, atheist. the "End the American Empire" resolution passed, 54-31. I can get behind that -- and so should you. we've always played the long game. and masterfully, I might add. Hasan Pikar, et al? all of 'em irrelevances.

ANTI AMERICAN ANTISEMITE CHEERED ON AT YALE UNIVERSITY Tonight at 7:00 p.m. anti American antisemite Hasan Piker who said America deserved 9/11 was welcomed at the Yale political Union with a roaring cheer. You can check to see how other speakers have been welcomed. This is an unusually enthusiastic welcome. Our higher education system is poisoning the minds of young Americans.

@DavidStrom dear David, we've noticed. nothing wrong with ambition, a hunger for power, a good feel for which way the wind blows. she's secretive, competent, imaginative. she's kool. we can help grow her skills. all she now lacks are chutzpah and a sense of humor always yours, Mossad

@NikolaCosmi you're a professor? man, standards have disintegrated. unlike our world-class universities here -- in every sphere of the arts, tech and sciences. we only destroy those who lift their claws against us. and always will. otherwise, we're the most generous people on this Earth

@PMHalpern You Israelis destroy every place. Get out of this TL and Lebanon

Μετά από 10 χρόνια στον Λίβανο, μπορώ να πω ότι είναι ο αντίποδας της Γερμανίας.

@Kulambq Eliot: "reasons of race and religion combine to make any large number of free-thinking Jews undesirable." u can pretty much disregard any of his thinky "thoughts" after a remark like that. what an inhuman douchebag! pretty good poet though. I'd say Macavity his best creation.

TS Eliot

@annbauerwriter I don't care about his sex-life, but he should be disqualified just based on that jacket, shirt and tie! creepy as fuck. do we really want kids exposed to such horrors!

Am I wrong to think that a teacher's entirely private life - in which they do nothing illegal or violent - is off limits when it comes to assessing their job performance? This guy did nothing in front of or near kids. I don't see why his stage performance is relevant.

@BeschlossDC Yom HaShoah begins at sundown tonight, here in Israel. tomorrow morning at 10am, as every year, sirens will sound and then entire country will stand and observe 2 minutes of silence. "I will give them an everlasting name." Isaiah 56.5

Angry, disgusted General Eisenhower during liberation of Buchenwald, today 1945--ordered that evidence of the Nazi atrocities be photographed to avoid their being doubted by later generations:

@BryceMLipscomb I am jewish, israeli, zionist. it's our zionism that built this nation, where we enjoy free speech and can oppose our government. look at the reptiles in this thread, spewing their ant-jewish hate. so "paint" us what u like. but pick up weapons against us? take your chances.

Here is a perfect example of how Jews aren’t the problem, & Zionists are. Here are 10k Israeli Jews protesting the War against Lebanon, Iran, & Palestine. They want to find a way to live in peace with their fellow citizens of the world 🌎. Don’t paint all Jews with one brush.
