Next time I hear someone refer to the Jewish bible as the &#34;Old Testament&#34;[1], I&#39;m going to ask them which one is the New Testament, the Quran or the Book of Mormon. /s<br/><br/>Seriously Christians, you can call your own books whatever you want, but it&#39;s not okay to mis-name our books.<br/><br/>Either use &#34;Tanakh&#34;, the correct name. &#34;Jewish Bible&#34; is icky but currently acceptable.<br/><br/>#Judaism #Christianity<br/><br/>[1] This is specifically a Christian talking about the Jewish texts as the Old Testament, not their own Christian Bible that has a section called Old Testament. 2024-08-26T16:57:57Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsfjxy94k22geyr4xpwh5ez8r5a275spu3aj9q6w0cmspapsqmuwhqzyzd9rq4d5xjn0a9sw6nsjw9p9j5ksm6xcsh2v7rnxr39ruuhs62y72j7g50 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8ch5rj7c7ep8vv0py7rg45z8y9mnggyymxfm7rang3kp482n8anggptjtp'>nevent1q…tjtp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yes and...<br/><br/>(you know this, I&#39;m saying it for others)<br/><br/>It&#39;s possible to be a #Zionist and be against Netanyahu, and especially Ben G&#39;Vir and Smoltrich and the conflation of Judaism or Zionism around political policies is itself a hateful act. It is an act of antisemitism.<br/><br/>In fact this is one area where I think the IHRA is lacking- not directly addressing the issue of deliberate mislabeling. 2024-08-25T16:49:39Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsw4pxecllyxuevpweqvkaj4ydylf2yrwxxljjm5fgfu7fzekd6fpqzyzd9rq4d5xjn0a9sw6nsjw9p9j5ksm6xcsh2v7rnxr39ruuhs62y7z9xdt6 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxgsxxvngzfrvc7s4a3nnk2mrphxrycc9f8uw2z80kgg99swexw5s36xngp'>nevent1q…xngp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Someone in another thread suggested that arms deals to Israel could be made under conditions, for example that the arms are only used for defensive missions.<br/><br/>Whether I agree with this idea (I don&#39;t) or whether I think Israel would accept such terms (it likely wouldn&#39;t), that argument/that line of thinking is not antisemitic or anti-Israel, as it preserves the idea that Israel can and should exist, and has the right to defend itself.<br/><br/>These issues are not binaries, and there are ways to address the conflict that are not hateful. 2024-08-25T16:22:03Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsxgsxxvngzfrvc7s4a3nnk2mrphxrycc9f8uw2z80kgg99swexw5szyzd9rq4d5xjn0a9sw6nsjw9p9j5ksm6xcsh2v7rnxr39ruuhs62y7lwdlx2 Here&#39;s what bothers me about &#34;Stop Arming Israel&#34;.<br/><br/>Israel is under missile bombardment from not only Hamas, but Hezbollah and under threat from Iran as well.<br/><br/>The missiles Israel has are primarily used to shoot down enemy missiles in its Iron Dome defensive missile program.<br/><br/>Saying &#34;Stop Arming Israel&#34; is saying &#34;Leave Israel defenseless against attacks&#34; and that&#39;s morally unacceptable to me.<br/><br/>#Israel 2024-08-25T06:52:11Z
