I can never bring up the worm question with @blobert-cambias.bsky.social because it just becomes a lecture haha
God would still love you if you were a worm
![Worm theology is the idea in Christian culture that in light of God's holiness and power an appropriate emotion is a humble view of self.[citation needed] The name may be attributed to a line in the Isaac Watts hymn Alas! and Did My Saviour Bleed (Pub 1707)[1] which says "Would he devote that sacred head for such a worm as I?" Furthermore, worm theology can be attributed to a recognition of the ugliness of sin, resulting in contrition.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreihajkmfntl2ougtyuj74jyre3uvhmb4krlcrkugjw6dnnuc6fcpxq@jpeg)

You’re not progressive nor antiracist if you blame all Jews or “religion” for the conflict in Gaza.
You’re certainly not pro-peace, nor justice.
If you must blame, put it squarely on who deserves it, the pro-violence factions who perpetuate it.
But whole populations aren’t it.

Terrible people caused the conflict happening in Gaza, Hamas and Netanyahu’s government. Put blame where it deserves.
Pitting all of that on “religion” is meaningless and weird. You Christian atheists are so weird.
Blaming all Jews for it isn’t progressive or antiracist.
It is antisemitic tho.

In a polarized moment, when people think it's a zero sum game between Israelis & Palestinians, these speeches modeled a different way. Note Yuval Avraham calling both for the destruction in Gaza to end & for freeing hostages (& calls out crime of Oct 7) and for national rights for both people.
Seeing a Palestinian and an Israeli stand together on stage, winning the Oscar's Best Documentary for "No Other Land" was one of my happier moments since October 7th. Basel Adra and Yuval Avraham gave a joint message of peace and hope, calling for justice and showing that we are better together.

really enjoy the youtube channel frum it up! especially her video on how she studies torah
One of the ways that I always wanted to do this is via YouTube. I’ve only just started to do that.
Are there channels that inspire your Judaism? I’d love to know what they are.
Do you want more:
- video essays
- how tos
- text study
- Other?

‘Enigmatic’ cave art was made by ice age children
Charcoal doodling appears 14,000 years ago, as adults drew more proficiently nearby

Resharing this thread from what I wrote last year on the other site, in response to this BS:
The anti-Zionist community I was raised in, is also the one who made a huge deal of Chanukah - way before many other Jewish communities, and before Zionism even existed. As well as ever since.
