"I contend, however, that Dylan s flirtation with Christianity was
a demonstration of rather than a departure from his Jewishness."

Judaism: Saturnine Melancholy and Dylan's Jewish Gnosis

Many have written about Bob Dylan’s complex relationship to his Jewish upbringing. In this study, I focus on a facet of Dylan’s Jewishness that has not been sufficiently appreciated, the link between ...

How Jewish is Dylan's writing? Certainly "inspired by the
priestly distinction between transgression and devotion, the prophetic demand for social justice, and the rabbinic propensity to resist systematic totalization in favor of interrogating issues incessantly," Wolfson writes here...
.

The scope and magnitude of the knowledge of Judaism that
Dylan received as a child in Hibbing is debatable, but what is incontest-
able is that his lifelong quest for matters of the spirit was inspired by the
priestly distinction between transgression and devotion, the prophetic
demand for social justice, and the rabbinic propensity to resist systematic
totalization in favor of interrogating issues incessantly to answer
a question with another question as a way of understanding multiple
perspectives.

This bullshit has increased dramatically since Trump's ceasefire. If you're liberal and you like Joe Biden, whatever. Even though I strongly disagree, it's your choice. But we *must* *not* lose sight of what *actually happened* in Gaza during the Biden presidency. This is dangerous revisionism.

CAN WE PLEASE STOP LYING UP ABOUT WHAT PRESIDENTS DID

Called for ceasefire = so did Trump, this isn't action

Negotiated multiple ceasefires = only 1 (Nov '23), Witkoff secured the other in Jan '25

Pier = did not "force" aid in, Israel vetted everything

Withheld offensive arms = STRAIGHT UP LIE

Harris called for ceasefire, for Israel to withdraw from Gaza, and for a two-state solution.

Biden negotiated multiple ceasefires, sanctioned illegal settlers, withheld offensive arms, and built a pier to force aid in from the sea.
