Ok I have taken the bait because I think it's important we have somewhere to chat and decompress.

There is an awful lot of name changing going on and we must remember that although it should be, this is not a safe space. We are followed here and that is worth considering (especially if you don't want to be deleted)

I am grateful for all the love and support though and I thank each and every one of you. You are all stronger than you know. I wish I had something profound to say but I don't...: this will have to do!

@Humdingerydoo will hold you to that!
'Hostile takeover' is absolutely on the nose.
Every thread.

Interesting on threads. Know what reaction I will get on other posts so just thought I would post it here. If you know you know.

how is everyone doing?

Turns out staying away from the M.E. board is the most amazing act of self-care. 10/10 recommend. X

0palfrootee · 17/03/2024 13:55

Totally agree! AMA, however, has made my eyebrows nearly leave the top of my head.

Unusual to see a Jewish person talking about the Zionist lobby and the weaponisation of AS, I must say.

Yeah. I thought it very odd.

I've made a comment on that thread that I will probably be banned for, so goodbye in advance Grin

Agreed. It just all rings a bit hollow. Not convinced.

Personally, I don't believe she is who she says she is or what she does. As a Jew how is she even allowed into Gaza?

EncoreMoi · 17/03/2024 16:04

That thread is absolutely Grade A trolling.

Did you survive Chrayn? What you said was 100% accurate (if OP is actually Jewish). Although I might have worded it differently! 😂

25milesfromhome · 17/03/2024 16:36

Just popped back there. Completely overplayed her hand with something something victim mentality something atrocities committed against her ancestors purely for their religion, in fact, why the need for Holocaust education at all? And no, sweetie, it’s not Zionism that removed the “Jewish Problem” from Western nations.

Step away from the NotJNotVP propaganda.

gingergran · 17/03/2024 16:38

I’ve reported the thread not that anything will happen!

0palfrootee · 17/03/2024 16:52

In relation to that ama: those of you who attended or have kids at Jewish schools - how would it work in practice for parents to request that their kids "be removed from any classes or events to do with Israel"? At my own mainstream CofE school, kids of various faiths would sit out in assembly and others didn't go to sex ed type classes. But I'm struggling to see how being removed for anything to do with Israel could feasibly be organised.

That thread is total fantasy.

EncoreMoi · 17/03/2024 16:58

There's more inconsistencies in her posts than a Prince Andrew TV interview.

25milesfromhome · 17/03/2024 16:59

It’s certainly becoming increasingly unhinged.

@PurpleChrayn but you haven’t escaped the weirdness on that thread!

Hmm, it would be a struggle. There would be some things that would be easy enough to skip, like celebrating yom haatzmaut, but they partly learn about Israel during their Hebrew lessons too, and during their limmudei kodesh lessons too.

Not sure why you'd choose to send your child to a school where you don't agree with a significant proportion of the stuff they're teaching 🤔

0palfrootee · 17/03/2024 20:48

@Humdingerydoo thanks! One of many weird things on there!

BeretInParis · 17/03/2024 20:50

That thread has my spidey senses going. Doesn't ring true at all.

I went to two Jewish schools after being removed from the first one as the school wouldn’t not allow my removal from those classes however the second school was a much more co-Ed with other religions and had other pupils sit out of these classes. Due to its more Co-Ed nature these classes were few and far between and got to the point of being nonexistent come GCSE time based on chosen subjects.
