  • That’s literally what anti-Zionist Jews have been saying since Zionism was born over 100 years ago…

    Zionism IS antisemitic. It’s based on the idea Jews are incapable of living with other peoples. That Jews are incapable of not making other peoples hate them.

    That’s literally what Theodore Herzl thought and wrote when justifying an ethnically pure Jewish state.

    Like the dude hated Jews as much as the antisemitic Christians around him.

    And progressive, communist mostly, Jews mounted opposition to this. Choosing to fight for rights and acceptance, for protections and for a popular revolution. SINCE THE BEGINNING. And they were the fucking majority by far. Zionism was fucking FRINGE.

    And it makes me really sad to think that so many of those antizionist fighters stayed in Europe until after WW2, fought to liberate Jews in camps, fight Nazis and fascists, make up huge numbers of the partisans all over Europe.

    Then after WW2, the nascent settler colonial state of Israel that was struggling for decades to attract Jews, literally denied entry to many of the survivors of camps and only allowed partisans and people who fought in. They formed many of the first communities, which is why so many were communistic.

    Also why Stalin at first supported Israel, hoping they’d turn communist and ally with the USSR.

    But European colonists gonna colonize and so many became straight up fascists themselves and created the basis of the modern ultra Zionist movement.












  • Bees are one of the only animals we observed to understand the concept of 0. They can do algebra. They can communicate complex ideas to each other, like the relative position of the sun accounting for the passage of time.

    And for silly facts, carpenter bees don’t have stingers. They live in procreating pairs. The males usually defend the nest. But without stingers, what can they do? Well they fly around their nest and “bump” their heads into threats. Over and over. Until the threat leaves, feeling threatened by the little bee.

    If you’ve never gotten a little bumblebee headbutt, you feel really special. Like “wow little guy, thanks for saying I’m big and scary”.

    Bees are cool. Some might say they are the bees knees even!
