I clicked on the “Jewish Question” link and immediately developed a tension headache. It’s time to get rid of these ethnic studies people in total. The utter lies and blatant Antisemitism is disgusting and it is just time to fight back.

I clicked on it too and I feel both sick and dirty from having looked at it. One wonders how much of this filth is coursing through "academic" sewers throughout the Anglishphere. Thank you to Nellie for having the guts to make us look at it, but I agree with her reaction.
I think both sides of the debate are operating from/arguing about a really foolish point - who is indigenous to the land, and who has "victim status." I think those two questions need to be upended with this, both with respect to Israel/Palestine and ethnic studies: "Which courses of action will lead to a safe and productive, healthy future for the populations at issue?" I mean, if the land should have always belonged to the Palestinians, does that mean the Jews should be pushed into the sea? I hope not. If the land belongs to the Jews, does that mean the Palestinians should be carried off or killed? Again, I hope not. Both groups are there now; ongoing violence is not a good future for either side. The focus should be on the future, not the past. The Christian and Muslim Palestinians could pretend to convert to Judaism, like a reverse Marrano move; the state of Israel could bribe the Palestinians into immigrating out; the powers that be could agree to allow equal rights for all people in both '48 and '67 parts of the land, and put in an educational curriculum that stresses a common humanity and equal rights regardless of personal history. Hard to pull off politically, but looking backward and arguing over who has a right to the land seems like madness. The Bible and the Koran disagree as to whether Abraham was about to sacrifice Isaac or Ishmael, but they both agree the God said "Don't sacrifice your child to Me" (paraphrase here). If you ought not to sacrifice your children to God, then you probably should sacrifice your children to ideology or nationhood. I'm not claiming there are easy solutions, but the direction of the dialogue is toward ongoing violence, not resolution.
> . If the land belongs to the Jews, does that mean the Palestinians should be carried off or killed? Again, I hope not.
You think you're being even-handed, but you're succumbing to their propaganda. The Moslem world is huge, Israel is a tiny dot. Palestinians could theoretically live in Jordan or Syria or Egypt or Lebanon (or the West Bank or Gaza where they could establish a legitimate government if they so choose) -- Jews have nowhere to go but their historical and factual homeland.

You know what they the Hebrew Bible, The Moslem Bible, and the Christian bible do all agree on? That Jews are from Judea.
Just 2 more post Jewish leftists who feed at the DEI CRT trough, sad and frustrated that they cant get "persons of color" points, just trying to pad their CV with anti Jewish progressive conspiracy theories. The Non Jews who run the DEI ops love the Uncle Tom Jews.
They love them for now. But when it's time, they will consider them as Jewish as me (an orthodox Jew who splits his time between California and Tel Aviv.)
Let it be published. We fight bad speech with better speech. They need to be better debated and shown to be the weak thinking, irrational bigots they are. We do need to be more proactive in doing that. Plus I like knowing their hateful thinking is exposed for the garbage it is. I do like the idea of exposing their funding and holding those funders accountable however.
Let OSPI (Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction), SBE (State Board of Education) and PESB (Professional Education Standards Board) know how you feel. These are the WA state education agencies that hire WAESN (Washington Ethnic Studies Now) and enable it and its executive director to profit from this ideology.
Not really. Race is a tool to manipulate the useful idiots. When someone is willing to defund the police and release rapists and murderers into black communities, what does that say they really think?
I was being sarcastic, and you are quite right. Once you understand that the racist Democrats merely changed tactics, you can't unsee it. So of course they support the racial divisions promoted by the Marxists.
It never fails to sicken me that modern Progressives have convinced black people to BEG for the very same thing the Democrats of old could not get them to settle for: segregation.
Are you sure whites had to convince blacks to adopt certain politics? And are you sure black progressives are begging? Intersectionality was created and promoted by black academics decades ago (e.g. Crenshaw and Bell) and passed down to generations of students. Angela Davis has been a marxist for years. An ideology that looks like it exploded out of nowhere has been cultivated for a long time. I’m not black and I don’t know how I’d feel if I were, but as an observer who abhors racism, I see modern anti-racism as a marxist perversion embraced with focused intention by black progressives whose goal is the “dismantling” (their term) of the country in a literal sense. The way black conservatives are treated (calling them Uncle Toms and ostracizing them) is but one tiny symptom of that.
There's no question that there have been black Marxists nursing this ideology for decades. And yes, they do want to completely dismantle the U.S. and build their "utopia" on its ashes. They have said as much quite openly, which makes me wonder why Democrats make common cause with them.
Honestly, I think there are two (perhaps three) separate groups there: the Marxists who are using racial divisions to try to destroy the U.S. and the racist Democrats who continue to implement policies that supposedly "benefit" black people while actually keeping them poor and miserable. A third group might be people who genuinely (but cluelessly) believe that the Democrats are the good guys in all this. (Mind you, I don't think the Republicans are particularly invested in benefiting minority voters, but there is no active malice involved.)
I don't disagree with that depiction. And I agree that the very policies supposedly designed to overturn "systemic racism" only make things worse for black people and people in general: racial preferences, diversity hires, elimination of merit and academic standards instead of investing in public education in the black community, and perhaps worst of all, complete disinterest in addressing the rise in homicides caused by a small segment of young black men within their own communities.
Sadly, that third group of well-meaning Democrats you refer to is the largest group. They're the ones who vote for the disingenuous, self-serving liberal politicians who maintain the status quo so they can blame the other party for the country's problems. Well-meaning Democrats are not the members of Antifa or social justice warriors who set fire to police stations and burn down local business districts in order to encourage looting as a protest against the evils of capitalism. They're my good-hearted neighbors and family members, who believe that all the evil in the country is caused by Republicans and everything they hear on the news is God's blessed truth.
But you're right: it's also a sad fact that Republicans are not invested in benefiting minority voters, and they should be. But black conservatives are not sitting around waiting. They're busy uplifting their communities. Community centers. Church-based institutions. Charter schools. Black entrepreneurship. And so on.
Welfare is not and never was the answer, any more than the grift of "anti-racism." BLM leaders use the donations of generous Democrats to buy themselves mansions in white neighborhoods in California. What more do we need to know?
Well, I'm just opining, but I try to base my opinions on facts rather than wishful thinking. I aim for accuracy and clarity but sometimes I fail on both counts. I'm always open to improvement.

Ditto. I was annoyed and wondered whose funding can be used to stop this hatred from continuing to be published.

You’re braver than me
That article is batshit crazy. And offensive.
What is it? I haven’t clicked on it yet, myself. Kind of dreading reading another disgusting woke tract.
Then don’t open it. It will set you back.
They were probably trying to be as appalling as possible to demonstrate why censorship is necessary.
Undoubtedly.
20,000 posts from 300 fake accounts or something close to those numbers. As Elon said, bots are a problem.
I have definitely seen more use of the word on Twitter by Leftists. Odd, that....

Divide and conquer.

Just popping head in to congratulate Your posts, M Beeswax, as well as M Celia's. TY both.

Who isn't open to improvement! (Weeeel, some commenters here. Ah well...)
