    No, I’m not telling you that because I’ve already voted.

    I do like how you didn’t even acknowledge the work I do with JVP. I wonder if it’s because of the first word in their name?

      I didn’t acknowledge your work for JVP because it was almost certainly ‘i signed a petition to feel better about myself’ and not worth discussing. The JVP has basically publish a few feel good opinion pieces and washed their hands on the matter. The organization is focused on defunding settlements from charities. News flash: the current genocide is being funded by tax dollars not charities.

      In short, no it had nothing to do with the name; They’re focused on organizing the jewish community, probably ineffectually, and it’ll take far too long to organize it in a manner that is effective for the current crisis. Especially given the discussions my jewish community has had over the last year. I wish them luck but they’re essentially useless for the current situation and it’ll be awhile before they’re effective.

        I didn’t even read past your first sentence.

        If you’re going to lie about me to my face, I’m not going to bother giving you the time of day.
