You know there is no nuance. This is straight good versus evil. Too many Jewish Americans have never dealt with any kind of antisemitism never mind lethal islamist antisemitism, and they still cant handle the fact that there are billions of people on this planet that want us dead (both as Americans and as Jews). And no I do not feel sorry for them, while I pity them I can't stand them. It's people like them that will get the rest of us killed.

Good list and I am sure everyone has more to add to it. But let's not get stuck on caring what these people think or say. They don't want to listen. We need to keep on doing what we are doing.

Sorry you had to give up your yoga studio though.

I stand with you, April, as I stand with Israel.

April, thank you, you hit the nail on the head, and trust me you can be Jewish and still get all the above in small city provincial New Zealand..... This made me giggle, "I’m sure tomorrow someone will say something even stupider..." The depth and breadth of Stupid knows no end

Today was pretty quiet. I picked up my cat's thyroid medicine, wrote an article with some quotes from my Israeli friends, and went to the Aldi store. I also chatted with my two most pro-Israel friends from my previous life.

At this point we will call you an honorary Jew - so no need to say that you aren't Jewish!

Sorry. I love April too, but there's no such thing as an honorary Jew (or being a little bit pregnant...).

That's so annoying, your background should be irrelevant when making sense of it.

Azerbaijan and Armenia are fighting over something, if you strongly side with one side does anyone ever say but you're not Armenian or Azerbaijani?

Hi Elizabeth and thank you for subscribing! I don't know what kind it is. My hobby is to take pictures of the flowers in my neighborhood and anywhere, so I just grab a pic wherever I can!
