What used to be called Christianity during the Crusades? During the Inquisition? When the US refused to take in refugee from Hitler? He’s right in line with most of Christian history.
Not a fuck ton, but a ton.
Yes, there are citations in there.
Thanks!
There were churches for the guards at concentration camps, ffs.
Good food takes, tho.
Is that from his responsa?
Very Christian, if you look at history.
Yes, we know. Why do you think we don’t, given that we overwhelmingly voted against him? Some of us have been very vocal about this issue. Maybe listen to us instead of rushing in to tell us that water is wet?
Even if they wouldn’t marry their neighbors?
Consider that he got famous for suggesting that the group he claims as “his people” is shiftless and drug-addicted, can we really say that’s surprising?
… was that before or after the Black Death?
I mean, the Pharisees had very different values from MAGA, and they were Jews and therefore not welcome to be MAGA, but other than that … nah other than that you’re still wrong. I can suggest a couple of books about the Pharisees if you’d like to learn.
My ancestors were Litvaks who moved to Ukraine a couple of hundred years ago. Is there a name for that? Or do they stay Litvaks?
No, it’s like heritage veggies. What used to be grown until retailers wanted something more uniform and easy to ship.
They don’t make sense to us neurotypicals, either.
OMG, this. People who have berated me personally for US racism suddenly either going full racist themselves or saying “we have to move slowly on the [Roma] because so many people have these ideas about them.”

When you have enough money you think you can buy the void. And that warps you.
John is really poetic sometimes.
I honestly think that the presence of FSU Jews tipped the balance of opinion in Israel to this kind of fortress mentality to begin with. They had just come from a place where that had worked for 70+ years.
I’m betting your ancestors came here before 1924 or after 1990. Between those dates Jews weren’t exactly welcomed—there were quotas and everything.
They still stole my husband’s books.
Ouuuuch.
Tell that to the Christians who are still happy to murder us about it. I don’t worry about Talarico, but a lot of Christians use those stories in ugly ways. They carry lots of baggage.
Do you have your shocked face on?
That’s true, but we’ll always have hamantaschen.
That election generated a great bumper sticker: VOTE FOR THE CROOK—IT MATTERS
I love Novik’s books, but Patrick O’Brian’s books are at a whole other level.
I mean, my friend’s mother was. A guy in the neighborhood thought she had to be rich because she was a Jew, so he broke in, stabbed her to death, and took her jewelry. Which wasn’t worth anything so he threw it in the bushes. He’s doing life in prison, thanks for asking.
