The recent fascination with Second Temple Judaism among Youtubers is a ultimately a fascination with hatred. Judaism after the second temple is far deeper and richer, and explicitly opposed to racism, chauvinism, imperialism and most of all: nationalism ("goyish")

Zionists seem pretty ready to pull out of #Gaza despite securing 0 territory and accomplishing none of their goals beyond murdering more children in a few months than in perhaps any other conflict in history. #Israel is in a crisis it will never recover from, because its an international crisis of legitimacy, rather than one that can be remedied with massive aid packages.

Nothing indicates that the #USA is a fascist country like the number of Americans — both "left" and right — who argue that Vietnam didn't win the war due to the US's massive number of kills. Just like Israelis who argue that #Israel isnt losing because they've committed genocide, despite the fact that their legitimacy has been destroyed on the world stage, making it now just a matter of years before the #Zionist project collapses like apartheid South Africa.

Hot take: now that #Meta has set its sights on usurping the #fediverse, "defederate them ASAP" is a defeatist approach. Our friends who are simply not online enough to keep up with our creative pursuits will soon start to learn that there is a clean alternative; the only possible antagonistic approach is, I believe, to quote #Freud, that "we're bringing them plague".
Or, as Soviet propaganda of the late 1920s once had it: "Not #X, not #Facebook. Forward."

If aid cant make it to starving people in #Gaza because Israeli protestors are preventing it from entering at the border, shouldnt #Israel be able to just deal with them the way they dealt with the mass peaceful protests in Gaza in 2008, ie killing hundreds of them and maiming thousands more? Or is this some kind of Warsaw Ghetto circumstance, where they desire to kill everybody locked within their walls? #bds #palestine

Am I going hard on Germany non-stop on here? I'm trying to spur Germans into a moment of reckoning, as are tons of other Jews from the Palestinian solidarity movement that used to make a good living in Berlin until we were shunned, blacklisted, and outcast until we couldn't make a living there anymore. And its not just us, but all pro-Palestinian activists; we just happen to make up the second largest demographic presence in the solidaridarity movement because we, unlike Germans, tend to take the Holocaust and its larger, unceasing, monstrous older sibling — #colonialism —incredibly seriously.

2024-02-16 15:55:56

37% of the activists arrested in #Germany on #antisemitism charges in the past 130 days have been #Jewish. #Jews make up less than 1% of the total population of Germany. Think about what that means.
Germans learned nothing beyond how to manufacture and promote a semblance of reconciliation in which Jews are a mere transference object through which Germans may be absolved of the crimes of Nazism and the #Nakba. When we no longer function as objects that Germans can transfer their responsibility for genocide onto — when we no longer serve to act as an insurance policy on their responsibility for crimes of ethnic cleansing, genocide, and the commercial war economy of the imperial core — then suddenly *Germans become the victims of antisemitism* visited upon the German people by the Jews.
A society where that is even fathomable has not actually repented for the #Holocaust. Which is exactly why Germany is the world's #1 champion of the genocide in #Gaza.

A massive crowd of #Israelis are heading to the border between #Egypt and #Gaza where they are having a #rave to support their ongoing protests to prevent aid from entering Gaza, where #Israel has enforced #famine along with a shortage of all goods necessary to survive their bombardment.
In October a #German who accused me of being a self-hating #Jew for opposing #Zionism told me that considering Israel is a #democracy (despite more than half of the people within their sovereign jurisdiction being deprived of any form of citizenship or rights whatsoever), Israelis cant commit genocide. Aside from the irony of a German committed to #NeverAgain claiming that democracy forbids fascism, here is the fullest expression of #Zionist #Democracy.
The anti-war protests in #TelAviv have been the most mediocre I have seen, bringing out a few hundred demonstrators at best.

@npub16tu…ga2v
sorry I don't understand, how would religion determine whether or not something is genocide?
regardless, Zionism began as a secular movement. Religious Zionism was incredibly marginal until after 67, with the growth of Meir Kahane's movement, which is not made up of religious Jews, but rather far-right ultranationalists who are as Jewish as Donald Trump is Christian. This Third Temple shit is rooted in the narratives of evangelical christianity rather than Judaism. Judaism is a very formal religion with bodies of jurisprudence that determine the limits of interpretation of scripture. Religious Zionists simply disregards all of this and wings it on its own -- its really just a far right political movement, catering their ideas to christian fundamentalists who pump money into their genocide.
but the conflict is not first and foremost religious in any sense, excepting al-Aqsa. a quarter of all Palestinians are Christians. Zionists occupy al-Aqsa first and foremost to harrass Palestinians. The ambitions of the centuries old institutions of Judaism are not in conflict with Islam or al-Aqsa is any serious way. Its "Israel"'s project of ethnic cleansing that is.

Israel just bombed a tent city full of #refugees who fled North #Gaza for #Rafah on the #IDF's orders.
Horrifying photos show families frantically rummaging through the carnage for the limbs of their family members. I won't reproduce them here, but they can be found on the bird site from @gazanotifications
They are murdering poor people trapped in a concentration camp, in the places they were told to flee for safety. They are killing impoverished, innocent, starving Palestinians, mostly under 30, with nowhere else to go.
This brutality is unparalleled in my lifetime. All studies show that Israel is in a class of its own, outdoing the Dresden bombings by a landslide. Saying this is not antisemitic: it is your duty, whoever you are.
I am #Jewish: scholarly, spiritually, and Litvak Ashkenazi. It's not antisemitic for me, OR ANY NON-JEW to say. In fact, its every human's duty to call for this bloodshed to cease IMMEDIATELY, and to even call for this genocidal Zionist occupation to be dismantled before there is any more blood shed.
I have been doing activism in Palestine since 2012, both boots-on-the-ground defense of protestors, and teaching programming. These are not antisemites; my Palestinian friends are as close to me as any others. And I have had 6 students murdered in Gaza in 120 days. All the others are starving, fleeing from tent city to tent city, trying to survive the most hellish circumstances of drone democide any people have ever witnessed in the history of humanity. Thats a simple fact now.
If you are a goy and claim to support this in our name, WE WILL REMEMBER. The vast majority of #Jews outside of Israel who are under 40 years old are anti-Zionists today. All the fastest growing Jewish organizations of the past decade are anti-Zionist. And we will not forget those who cheered on a 21st century #Holocaust while evoking the memory of our family members killed in Nazi #Germany. Especially not the #Germans, who have been by far the worst inciters and supporters of genocide outside of #Israel.

@npub1sg4…xslc I wouldn't lump medical emergencies together with threat of violence, as I think threat of violence requires specifics insofar as the police are offered as a solution, considering the police pose one of the greatest threats of violence to many vulnerable peoples in many countries around the world (black people in North America in particular and in Europe, for example).
Ive done hacker workshops in Europe with anarchist coops where a large number of the residents and participants are refugees, and the last thing you would ever do is call the police, because many people are on the run from immigration police and it could cause them to be deported to terrible conditions of torture and often murder in the countries they fled from (incidentally due to crisis spurred by western interventions)

I find writing guix packages to be much easier than nixpkgs, but perhaps there are some nix tools that ease "quick and dirty" packaging that I'm unaware of (I think flakes is a solution here, but its unclear to me exactly what they are)

Been relatively offline as of late. On the upside, I've landed a decent contract for the next few months leading the development of a SAAS startup, which means I'm experiencing a bit of stability for the first time in many moons. On the downside, I'm under NDA and can't share any of the stuff I'm working on, and have had no free time to hack on Scheme.
As I'm doing CG work again, I'm considering diving into #SICM. I've loved the first two chapters of LiSP, but as its not really tied to what I'm working on atm, its hard to find time to dedicate to it. I'm a bit scared of SICM, as even a friend who studied physics (and has read SICP) said he found it to properly difficult. But I think if I go in assuming the book will take a year at minimum to complete, and allow myself to take my time without trying to schedule according to abstract expectations, it could be just the right time to brave the beast.
