This is the one thing that I would definitely do regardless of state. For those not in the know, a passport is the way to get an easy name or gender marker change onto your ID without a court battle, and that is highly dependent on the Federal administration.
So an actual pogrom just fucking happened in Amsterdam
And like, either way you spin it, as just anti israel or anti jew, it’s still fucking disgusting and sickening.
Like you can boycott the Israeli soccer team for playing and be upset at that, and boo at people for supporting them, but to actually attack the supporters?????? That’s like 10 steps too far.
And not all of the supporters were Israeli, there were Dutch and other European jews there, showing up to support the team.
Assuming the only motivation is being anti israeli, it’s still absolutely sickening and wrong to attack Israelis and people supporting an Israeli soccer team for literally supporting a soccer team. Like call for a boycott of the Israeli team, protest their ability to play in the Netherlands. But to attack their supporters? That’s fucked up and too far.
And this certainly isn’t freeing Palestine. This isn’t telling jews who are thinking about moving to Israel to not move. It’s not telling Israeli jews to up and leave israel. It’s telling jews both diaspora and Israeli, that Israel is the only safe place for us. Which should not be the message people are portraying, but it is.
And I don’t want to scare monger and go “Israel is the only safe place for jews” as A) it shouldn’t be and B) it’s not. That is just the message people around the world are sending, intentional or not.
And whilst being anti israel seems like the main motivation, there is heavy antisemitic undertones because of the message this attack has sent. Like you can’t see this and go “erm it’s purely because they’re anti israel”. Because there has been no documented attack on a sports team supporters because of the teams country. And if there has been, which I will concede if I’ve missed one or two, like it’s not common and this would then be one of the first instead of the first. Even when kiwis protested the springbok rugby tour here in NZ during aparthied, there wasn’t any mass attacks. You’re telling me that the thing which sets Israel a part from other countries, being the only jewish state in the world, plays no part in this pogrom at all? Nah, you’d have to be actually insane to think that
Edit: apparently the attackers were posting on social media before the attack that they were going to steal “jews passports” not israeli, jews. You can’t tell me antisemitism was never a fucking part in this shit
I (inexplicably third culture kid at times) grew up eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch every day because my mother is normal, and all my English friends were rude about them despite literally never having tried one because “ough it just sounds gross.” Anyway I want to see if this is a trend beyond children from southern England.
NOTE TO PEOPLE WHO MAY NOT KNOW – JELLY IN THIS CASE MEANS JAM, NOT JELLO-TYPE FOOD – MANY OF MY PEERS WERE NOT AWARE OF THAT.

as a huge lover of birds, 90% of the concern against wind turbines being used for energy is literally just pro fossil fuel propaganda. birds ARE at a risk however there is a lot of strategies even as simple as painting one of the blades that reduces a lot of accidental deaths. additionally renewable energy sources will do more in favor of the environment that would positively impact birds (and all of us). one study found over one million bird deaths from wind turbines. while that is a shockingly high number and we should work to drastically shrink it, at least 1.3 billion birds die to outdoor cats on a yearly basis. it was never about caring about birds
Far-right provocateurs are taunting Democratic women on TikTok with their spin on the pro-choice saying “my body, my choice” in the wake of Vice President Kamala Harris’ loss to President-elect Donald Trump.
“Waking up to dozens of men commenting ‘your body MY choice’ & y’all still tell me to just agree to disagree. NO,” one TikTok user reported experiencing on Thursday.
The video highlighted a variety of sexist comments including two people who wrote the aforementioned phrase and others that included “have fun losing your right,” “ow zip it and make me a sandwich,” and “keep your legs closed.”
