  • I just don’t understand how they think attempting to influence someone works. The gamble was that withholding the vote would make them change messages so that we would vote for them then they would win. Instead they decided to stay the course and lost. So it seems that maybe the uncommitted people were actually trying to play politics and the ones who are mad at them should have worked to end the genocide if they wanted to win. It isn’t that it is worse now than before, its exactly the same.




































  • The non Zionist orthodox community I was raised in wouldn’t consider them Jewish at all but actually Zionists and Israel would let them immigrate there with any parent being Jewish.

    This person isn’t Jewish according to Halakha though. It isn’t a race, that is a European construction of Judaism; It is a religion meaning that if you do not believe in God and you do not do the 613 mitzvot, then you are not a follower of that religion. Hanukkah isn’t even a holiday, it is a festival and is only considered important in America because it is near Christmas and American Jews didn’t want their kids to feel left out. You can’t be “half Christian” either, you either accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior or you are not Christian, if you do accept Jesus as your savior and God then you are definitely not Jewish; you are a regular Christian. If you do not believe in God, do not accept Jesus as your savior and you do not perform Mitzvot then you simply have no religion and that is fine too.

    I do not really consider myself Jewish any more since I do not believe in God, do not perform Mitzvot or give a shit about any of it. I’m married to an Italian former Catholic.

    Edit: I kind of threw out holiday and festival like this would make sense to anyone not raised with this stuff, Holidays are solemn days with religious requirements and festivals are “joyous celebrations” and not really a requirement to observe. Some festivals are also holidays like Sukkot.
