If you’re still romanticizing the movement behind these chants, it’s time to wake up.
“Intifada” is not a metaphor.
“From the river to the sea” is not poetry.
And when you excuse or ignore violence like this, you’re not neutral…
You’re complicit.

It is stunning that no one in TX is calling CPS to remove the surviving kids from potential harm, but *are* arresting defiant abortion providers who support women who refuse to relinquish our right to bodily autonomy.

It’s unbearably sad.
When we hear that someone died, Jewish tradition teaches that the first thing that should leave our lips should be:
Blessed be the Judge of Truth.
But today I see no Truth…
Only shattered families and a devestated nation.
May their memories be blessings to all who knew and loved them.
