sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

Trump had expressed that he wanted the King of Norway, Harald, to invite him to Norway. So the King invited Obama instead.

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.

Not dying.

Just logging off.

Getting a job no one cares about.

Growing tomatoes.

Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.

Not as a failure.

But as a kind of freedom.

People want peace, Palestinians want peace and to do this we need to free them from tyranny; Israel has a right to defend itself as any nation would, BUT it must follow rules of law, by protecting

It's a little late for that considering that Israel has already killed over 8,000 Palestinians, the majority of whom are innocent civilians, in response to Hamas's attack that killed roughly 1,400 Israelis. A good argument can be made that the state of Israel is a more deadly terrorist group than Hamas. Zionism is not the same as Judaism. Zionism is a racist ideology that says that Jews are the chosen ones, and God promised them some land, and that God looks at the Jews more favorably than thos…

A good argument can be made that your an antisemitic loon who knows diddly squat about Judaism or Islam. All Muslims, and that includes the Palestinians, are required to conquer the world for Allah and chop of the heads of all the kafirs (infidels) who do not convert to Islam and worship Allah. You good with that? The Jews and Israel and first on the list. You and America are next.

BTW, raping all the infidel babies, little girls, and women is an Allah granted bonus in their jihad against the infidels. I suppose you're OK with that too?

Please note that I have Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry on my father's side, but my mom is not Jewish. So, technically I am not Jewish becuase one's mom has to be Jewish to be considered a real Jew. Nevertheless, while I am not Jewish or religious I still identify as being part Jew, and I am not antisemitic. Zionism is not the same Judaism. There are many Jews who are not Zionist. and there are many Zionist who are not Jews. Zionism is a racist ideology that says Jews are the chosen ones, and that Go…

The biggest problems with most Jews, is that they don't read, let alone believe, their own holy book, the Tanakh. I'd suggest that YOU start in Isiah chapter 53.

It was GOD that said Jews are the chosen ones, and that GOD promised them some land, and that GOD viewed Jews more favorable than he does other people. That's because GOD made a covenants with his people.

There are 7 covenants, recorded in the the Tanakh but unfortunately, some are held in high esteem (the land) and the most important on…

Please note that the foundation of the USA is based upon the separation of church and state. I'm curious are you Jewish or Christian? It is my understanding that many evangelical Christians believe that the return of Jews to Israel is the first step towards armageddon, after which Jesus Christ will return. However, it seems that a lot Christians don't fully comprehend what happens at the end of that story, which is that, please correct me if I am wrong, all of the Jews burn in hell. I personally don't put significance into these types of prophecies, but find it strange that evangelical Christian Zionist seem to defend Israel becuase of this underlying belief, and even more strange since at the end of the story the Jews burn in hell.
