In the Safe Spaces on UC Campus, No Jews Allowed
In the Safe Spaces on Campus, No Jews Allowed – The Tower
Disclaimer: To me, Zionist = Bigot. There is no way you can dissuade me from that position unless you produce a Zionist who places the same value on Palestinian life and Israeli Jewish life. So already I’m not going to have a lot of sympathy for anyone who self-identifies as a Zionist.
That said, I don’t have much sympathy for any of the students in this story or the group at their so-called safe space. They all sound like self-involved little assholes.

Majority of primates call for temporary Episcopal Church sanctions
“Our commitment to be an inclusive church is not based on a social theory or capitulation to the ways of the culture, but on our belief that the outstretched arms of Jesus on the cross are a sign of the very love of God reaching out to us all. While I understand that many disagree with us, our decision regarding marriage is based on the belief that the words of the Apostle Paul to the Galatians are true for the church today: All who have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male or female, for all are one in Christ.” – Presiding Bishop Michael B. Curry speaking to Anglican primates at the Episcopal Church’s 2016 General Convention.

The good presiding bishop then dropped the mic, and danced his way down the aisle away from the wet-blanket, super rigid, change adverse, haters. You know, as Jesus would have done.
OK, fine he did not do that. But still.

Greek airline apologizes for pushing Arabs off flight after protest by Jews
The Aegean Airlines’ CEO wrote to a Palestinian leader who had said the “appalling behavior by the Israeli passengers is reminiscent of the worst years of the South African apartheid.”
An apology is a paltry start. This sort of bigotry is the kind that fueled the trains into concentration camps in WWII. The “Jews” who complained should be the ones prevented from flying, as well as the employees who acquiesced to their bigoted and evil demands.
The response to an Israeli official’s ban on a Jewish-Arab love story? A video of Jews and Arabs kissing
Tel Aviv liberals respond to an education ministry decision to ban a book about forbidden love between Jews and Muslims with a video of strangers from each side kissing each other.
Ironically, its almost impossible to tell who is Israeli and who is Palestinian in the video.
Ministry officials were worried that the “intimate relations between Jews and non-Jews threatens the separate identity,” reported Israeli daily Haaretz, which broke the story.

One Reason Not to Believe in Santa Claus
A visit from St. Nick nearly turns tragic.
One Reason Not to Believe in Santa Claus – The New York Times
WTF is wrong with people?! First off this supposedly religious person has the hubris to draw a direct correlation between himself and Joseph, and secondly, how strong can your weak-ass faith be if your religious foundation could so easily be toppled by a visit to Santa? And lastly, why the fuck are you having a young person who can’t hold a baby hold your newborn without standing a little closer? What the fuck is wrong with you?
Anyone who goes around calling themselves a “Christian” as if their denomination is the only kind of Christian is usually really bad at being one.
