The Washington, D.C., chapter of climate-activist organization Sunrise movement canceled its speaking appearance at a rally for D.C. statehood and federal voting legislation over Zionist Jewish groups’ participation in the event.

Sunrise DC cited the Jewish Council on Public Affairs, the National Council of Jewish Women, and the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism as groups that support Zionism and the State of Israel in its withdrawal letter....

...“Given our commitment to racial justice, self-governance, and indigenous sovereignty, we oppose Zionism and any state that enforces its ideology,” the statement read.

The organization then accused Israel, which it called a “colonial project,” of illegally occupying Palestine ....

from the looks of the crowd, there are no DC indigenous in their group, so that makes all of them 'colonists' and 'invaders' and, makes them all bigots

I have no problem with voting rights for DC. Do with the part of the district north of the Potomac exactly what happened to the part of the district south of the Potomac: retrocede it to the state that gave it up.

A minority of Jews are consistent Conservatives. They support the West and Israel.

A minority of Jews are consistent Leftists. They hate the West and Israel.

A majority of Jews are Leftist Zionists. They hate the West but support Israel. For them it is very hard. They want to be friends with Leftists, but Leftists demand consistency and thus hate Leftist Zionists. And Leftist Zionists hate Conservatives who support Israel. Which leaves Leftist Zionists alone and friendless.

The idea of DC statehood is totally unconstitutional.

It is specifically forbidden.

Better Idea?

It is Time to DownSize DC! Close entire rogue departments including their SWAT Teams.

Move the center-of-gravity of the Fed Gov away from DC.

It is in fact, the “District of Corruption”. And it is the largest threat to the survival of the nation.

Frankly, if you hate the West, the West that has provided shelter and refuge, F**You!

Go find your own E’’ on earth and quit bleating about injustice and persecution.

Y’know, the Russians (before USSR) staged a pogrom (one of many, truth be told) against Jews. It succeeded ‘cause the Jews in question decided to become the tax collectors for the Russian admin. This did not endear them to the populace that they then desperately needed to hide them during the pogrom(s).
If you make these sort of choices, regardless of justification, you will eventually pay. Hating the West is a choice.

There is another name for Reform Jews.

“Democrats with holidays.”

Reminds me of a description of the Unitarians I read a long time ago: the religious branch of the communist party.

Halloween? That’s just Uncle Seymour.

Although the only kids are all told not to set next to him at the Seder.

Little trivia, but Halloween is not a thing in Israel, at all.

I vaguely knew it was some sort of religious festival and had seen trick or treating in tv shows, but that’s it.

We have the equivalent (plus St Patrick’s day) for Purim.

The homos in Tel Aviv keep trying to get it going as a gay celebration, but not so much luck yet.
