What a long, strange trip it's been.
I block bigots, idiots, and fascists.

If Palestinians have a right to armed resistance against the Jews because of a so-called 75 year occupation, it would seem that the Jews have an even greater right to armed resistance against 1400 years of Islamic supremacy, race laws, massacres, and oppression. Real oppression.
If Mamdani lived in 1865:
“We must remember the horrors of slavery, and the 600,000 people killed in Lincoln’s imperialist genocide of the Confederacy. We must also remember the Yankee occupation and apartheid.”

In 1969, the Beatles were in the studio arguing about Allen Klein and all but Paul walked out. Paul stayed, and Steve Miller came in to record. Paul asked if he could play drums on a cut to work out his anger. It also has the riff that became Fly Like An Eagle.

Zionism is intrinsic to Judaism. The most important Jewish holidays, like Sukkot, are land based. Our festivals are pilgrimage festivals. Pilgrimage to Jerusalem. The pilgrimage festival is called a Chag.
The Arabic word Haj is a cognate of Chag. It means pilgrimage to Mecca.
Chag Sameach.

The Haftarah for Yom Kippur morning has an important message from 2800 years ago that is just as relevant today. To paraphrase our Prophet Isaiah:

Free the oppressed
Feed the hungry
House the homeless
Clothe the naked
"Then, when you call, the LORD will answer"

Macklemore is the perfect example of, 'I'm not an antisemite, I'm just an anti-(((Zionist)))'.
Maybe he and Ed could do a minstrel show together.

You colonize the world. You burn us in our synagogues. You subject us to centuries of apartheid. You massacre us by the millions and then round us up for your ‘final solution’.
When we fight back, you call it genocide. You call us colonizers.
Your hypocrisy is vile. J’accuse.

Zionism is the belief that Jews no longer need to bow and scrape to our Eastern or Western imperialist masters. You call Israel imperialist when it’s just the opposite. The uppity Jews in Israel have the nerve to rebel against the old world order of suppression, subjugation, and slaughter of Jews.

Anyone who actually cared about Palestinians would have been urging the Palestinians to do anything to make a peace deal for their beleaguered people instead of supporting their endless war against the Jews.

Israel is a global pioneer in water, agriculture, and energy tech.
All of Israel’s enemies are members of OPEC or are funded by OPEC, the cartel that sells the oil that chokes the planet.

It’s not surprising that the European colonizers and the Middle Eastern colonizers are upset that the Jews, the indigenous people they abused for centuries, rose up and rebelled.
The oppressor hates uppity minorities.

Monday music. Smiley Lewis with the original version of “I Hear You Knocking”. Written by Dave Bartholomew, who also co-wrote many of Fats Domino’s songs, including “Ain’t That a Shame”.

There is more hate speech targeting Jews than any other minority. It’s been going on for millennia. Books, pamphlets, sermons, websites. Theories abound about who we ‘really’ are. We even appear in the holy books of other religions.
But you can’t say anything about the Jews...

Some Big Joe Turner to start the week. A blues singer who influenced Rock and Roll and Rhythm and Blues. Before Bill Haley and the Comets, there was Big Joe with the first recording of “Shake, Rattle and Roll”, complete with risqué lyrics.

Jews are a people, and we are indigenous to Israel.
Islam is named for a religious principle. Christianity is named for the Christian Messiah. Judaism is named for the people who practice it.
Judaism is the religion of the Jewish People.

There are 55 sovereign states where English is an official language. There are 25 sovereign states where Arabic is an official language.
There is one sovereign state where Hebrew is an official language.
Who are the imperialists?

For 1400 years, Muslims conquered peoples and oppressed minorities. For 1400 years, Jews were a minority, and we were oppressed by Muslims.
In 1948 we rebelled.
Zionism is liberation.
Zionism is resistance to imperialist oppression.

Jews are indigenous to Judea, and Roman or Arab (or Greek or Babylonian) colonization and slaughter doesn’t change that. If people didn’t want Jews to rebel, they should not have abused us mercilessly for centuries.

‘From the River to the Sea’ is the Middle Eastern equivalent of ‘The South Will Rise Again’. Both declarations express longing for a racist state where minorities can be abused with impunity.

There are 22 Arab countries. There are 25 sovereign states where Arabic is an official language. There are 57 counties where Islam is the state religion.
There is one Jewish country where Hebrew is the official language and Judaism is the state religion.
