Is this anti-semitism?

I don't really grok the distinctions between cities/villages/towns/etc. Is it just about population size?

in some hassidic sects the girls actually learn much more "wordly" stuff than the boys, because the boys are busy being torah scholars.

I would get really really happy to see dads with their boys AND girls at the public library on Sundays, especially after reading on Orthomom (I think?) that it was so controversial to some people.

No

The author of Unorthodox supposedly went to the library every weekend with her mother.

On the other hand, I got suspended from my Yeshiva in 9th grade for illegally visiting the library.

Haha well yeah, her mom, who was gay, and who left the community.

Orthomom, though, was a blog I followed for a while, after that guy who did the secret one, I forget his name now....

The Reluctant Hasid? Something like that. There was an uproar about his identity and he may have stopped blogging.

since we are on the subject, I might as well encourage you to read my friend's piece:
http://narrative.ly/culture-crossings/heretic-hasidim/

orbit is "Unorthodox:" a worthwhile read? I have to be pretty selective about my extracurricular reading these days, so I try to choose wisely.

It's exactly what you think it is, sensational and very clear about who the good and bad guys are. I wouldn't spring for it if I were you, I read it in...a day?

Oh the orig blog I started reading was the Hasidic Rebel, I think. Hurt, will read that article more carefully when I'm at computer.

Oh hah he's quoted! Is that the same Pearl who did the docu about her family's divan?

Oh no sry that was Pearl Gluck.

I don't think so but IDK, she's mainly a photojournalist

oh xp

I tried to read Hurting's link at Dunkin Donuts, and it was blocked as "pornography."

I really want to post the Times piece about Nueva Germania, Paraguay somewhere but I don't think this is the right thread. So interesting though.

I haven't seen it yet but I think the doc is here:

the first minute of that came off as hysterical agit prop, didn't really need to watch more

god bless america, tbh

The rise of the Golden Dawn movement obv is a tragic development, but the extremism of the “Golden Dawn” movement in Greece, which is now reaching out to other European countries? Really, which ones?

Not sure what's meant by that either, I mean, Hungary's rancid with anti-Semitism but there's no connection to what's going on in Greece.

GD-movement is a typical national movement that is being ridiculed and smdh'd at by all of Europe iirc, also the Medditerranean countries

Not to deny it's dangerous, mind, but I've yet to hear of movements outside of Greece that are following the footsteps of those fools.

While it isn't as organised and popular as Golden Dawn, this brand of fascism is rampant in Eastern Europe.

though his relationship to antisemitism is not quite as ahem direct iirc

Huh? A lone wolf psychopath isn't exactly a good example of anti-semitism. His primary motive was anti-islam.

i think calling him "lone" (or even psychopathic) is a stretch, given the bridged online-irl community he came out of. but you're right about islam, in his/their case

I think I have an Ikea product called Malmo

Biden’s intentions here are obviously as friendly as can be, but the execution is awkward.

oh, no shit?

That will be the first line on his obit.

The main problem here is that gay rights, unlike black civil rights, are politically controversial at the moment. Biden may find it “all to the good” that Jews have used their influence over popular culture to change societal attitudes toward homosexuality, but lots of people don’t find it good at all.

chait making sure to cover all his bases as usual

This is really good:

what is that from

the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet

jfc

where's the translation from?

Translation from here: http://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2013/05/thoughts-about-that-antisemitic.html but I've seen numerous translations elsewhere (all below the original cartoon) that were similar.

this is tangential to the cartoon but damn the whole "anti MGM movement" is one sad internet rabbithole. if you're into that kind of thing.

We talked a bit about it when they published that anti-circumsition comic book. The movement seems to have strong crossover w/ men's rights activists, no?

LOL men's rights

i was just kind of baffled by the toe thing and wondered if that was addressed in the OV.

good luck norway.
