Kristallnacht

 I am trying to spend my free time today (as I did yesterday) talking about anti-Semitism and talking to Shoah Survivors. I hope that we all remember how lucky we are to be alive today, even with all the horrible problems we have not defeated. Even with the extreme anti-Semitism, lying about Jewish history, or extremely anti-Semitic Holocaust inversion, we are doing amazing as a people and as a planet. Quality of life is improving for everyone. Jews are the most educated religious group on Earth, and every year contribute to life-changing innovations in culture, technology, politics and society. The very term genocide was made because of the Holocaust, and yet we're still here and alive. We will survive and thrive. We have before and we will again.

The Black Panthers were a right-wing terror group and military arm of Fatah. They were founded in 1988, but waned in activity since the 90's thanks to weakening by the Israeli government. It is unknown their relationship with Fatah today, but are still connected.

The Political Compass of Jewish American NewsSources

Image
  The Purpose of this Chart (researched and crafted by me for you, fair reader) is to show you concrete information on the Jewish American Communities main sources of information and how they report according to ideas of being more pro-government, religious or cultural (or plain secular), or generally economically and governmentally left or right. Every paper shown above is amazing in its own way. Truly. Even if they (like all newspapers) have bias. In general , they also do better on the axis not shown above; showing the majority of good news in the world versus the minority bad which merits discussion to correct. I'll note this is more in comparison to most American news sources than correctly showing the discrepancy. Notes for Nerds (of which their are a lot):  To be considered a Jewish American Newsite for the Purpose of this Compass, you must pass four Criteria:    1. Have a primarily American Jewish Readership or cover Judaism in America, and be explicitly Jewish (culturally

The Orwellian Nature of the Anti-Israel World's History of "Palestinian."

"Palestinians", as it is defined today, is a new term. You can think whatever you want about Israel today, or the Levant or if Pluto is a planet, but that is objectively true. Objectively, Palestinian referred originally to anyone living in the territory of modern Israel and the West Bank, including some Northern Syria. It was objectively a new term as used today, to refer to Arabs in the land of Israel. So, why is it wikipedia, the Palestinian Authority, the "Squad" as they call themselves, and tens of millions of people around the world deny the basic history (shown with proof below)? Is it not the most egregious example of Orwellian history changing a word, once referencing anyone in the area, to now reference a people which were not a people until the 1940's (and at best seem to only be binded together as the ones which aren't Israel and not under their neighbors), most of which had family move into the area of modern Israel during the 1800's yet are
