re: hey fanfic authors who are bad at writing dialogue
i realize the popular esthetic in pop lit is to write a chatfic with a little bit of exposition as trimmings but if you go and read anything at least a little bit old you will find plenty of examples of people not doing this and being quite successful with it
re: The Anti-Defamation League
elsewhere they imply criticizing Zionism is bad because “An overwhelming majority of Jews consider Zionism to be an integral part of their Jewish identities (regardless of their views about specific Israeli policies)”
re: The Anti-Defamation League
dunno who made the call to show Nuance towards white supremacists but not peace advocates but it sure does seem like the wrong call from where i’m standing
re: The Anti-Defamation League
it’s not news to me that the A·D·L is Like This but if they’re going to go full blast on false accusations of antisemitism to suppress criticism of the state of Israel, i can’t in good conscience ever cite them as an authority on antisemitic hate symbols ever again, you know
The Anti-Defamation League on “From the River to the Sea”
“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is an antisemitic slogan commonly featured in anti-Israel campaigns and chanted at demonstrations.
This rallying cry has long been used by anti-Israel voices, including supporters of terrorist organizations such as Hamas and the PFLP, which seek Israel’s destruction through violent means. It is fundamentally a call for a Palestinian state extending from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, territory that includes the State of Israel, which would mean the dismantling of the Jewish state. It is an antisemitic charge denying the Jewish right to self-determination, including through the removal of Jews from their ancestral homeland.
Usage of this phrase has the effect of making members of the Jewish and pro-Israel community feel unsafe and ostracized. It is important to note that demanding justice for Palestinians, or calling for a Palestinian state, should not mean, as this hateful phrase posits, denying the right of the State of Israel to exist.
