Asides

Regarding my last read, entitled "We Are Not Your Cosplay: A Jewish Nerd’s May the Fourth Rant" posted on the Times of Israel blogs:

Thank God for that.

Not that I’m letting anyone steal my joy, I watch Star Wars and Star Trek and read the Tolkien books and watch the Tolkien movies and all that. But still, it’s annoying when certain people have to attempt to steal said joy. And I’m glad someone else publicly objects.

Sorry Bulwark, you’re a day late and several dollars short with this attempt at restoring sanity to the Democrats Israel talking points.

The time for you to try this was, Oh, I don’t know, way back in March 2024 when it became abundantly clear where the democrats were headed on this and when it became abundantly clear that the Democrats had no intention of expelling their Jew-haters.

You could have spoken up about anti-semitism in the ranks of the online left, and you could have spoken up about how the Democratic party had an obligation to stamp this out, but you didn’t. And you chose, repeatedly, not to speak up about any of this. And you stood by while the Democrats, not just the left, fully embraced Hasan Piker and Graham Platner and all the other members of the assortment of high-profile anti-semites currently enjoying a nice, cozy home in the Democratic party. You could have spoken up in service of those principles you supposedly hold to, to say nothing of things like bigotry being wrong and all that. But you didn’t.

I could go on and on, but I’ll just end with the point that you’re sudden attempt to get the Democrats to do some sort of quicky clean-up because you need your team to win an election is disgusting, and a stain that will never wash off.

You helped make this bed, snuggle up for a nap.

Regarding the Arutz Sheva headline: " “Prayer Revolution" on Temple Mount: Expanded prayer sheets approved":

Baruch Hashem!

I hope and pray that, at some point in my life, I’ll be privileged enough to ascend Har Habayit to pray.

Oh good. It works.
