Mumsnet could do better (part deux)

[stomachameleon]

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!

Never pompous - you're posts are a much-needed education!

Not at all it’s very interesting thank you Ella!

well, thank you! literally been tutoring this morning, and I can hear my teacher voice coming through 😅

I'm also a Very Bad Jew so my knowledge is fairly lacking but based on their posts, I suspect that poster is an Orthodox Jew as of the moment they posted on that thread after a quick Google about the Zionist Agenda via Mondoweiss, the Greyzone and the NK website. It was a very sudden conversion. Mazel Tov!

Also, if you're going to aim for the Zionists/Jews shutting down debate by crying antisemitism trope by "As a (Orthodox)Jew"ing it, surely it's basic common sense to at least try to spell antisemitism correctly.

Agreed!

yes, it reminds me of anti-emetic drugs when it is spelled wrong. Drives me wild!

I'm not a tutor but I'm taking marks off for spelling and composition anyway. Must try harder.

You'll be glad to know, when I asked Google just now, it knew all about the holocaust....however nothing about the nakba, not even an idk, just carried on with the music that was playing before I asked. Hmmm

I got a response to both but I had to use multiple pronunciations for naqba, as it kept here napa

Ah, my pronunciation. DOH!

For some reason people often mishear me, usually vowel sounds rather than consonants (& I thought I was quite RP).

Also, thank you for insights into your faith practice. I am from a very churchy background but lapsed and I often think that what my boys are taught in RK as outsiders looking in is very different to living in the faith.

Well done , you seem to have got it in one! Medal is in the post

Either that or someone that is not, and has never met, a Jewish person. And sounds very, very male.

Evening all, I am popping in to share this statement if anyone employed by a university wishes to sign it:

It was posted on twitter by Fania Oz-Salzburger re Israeli academics being boycotted as individuals (that's what I've linked to as I can't get the link to the Google doc to work on my phone).

That was quite some rant they went on there, whatever religion or sex they may be!

This one. There is no way they are Jewish, quoting the neturei karta at Jews and expecting us to take it like it’s a mainstream view, only someone who has never met an Orthodox Jew would do that 😂

yes extremely male sounding. Amazing isn’t it!

I'm actually finding it hilarious 😅

there are a branch of neturei karta in my city, and literally no one from across the religious spectrum agrees with them. Everyone calls them extremists/ borderline cultist. There’s a huge amount of eye rolling at their antics, and sometimes it gets more heated when members cross the line.

nah this guy is not a Jew.

I've got a terrible "True Blue" but as "True Jew" earworm after that rant.

As a Jew… as soon as someone says that, I know I’m not going to agree with anything they say

Crikey, that thread! I've only read the last page but it looks like it's reached a level of madness as yet unseen on that board (and it's an extremely high bar! 😂)

And absolutely predictable some posters would turn up to minimise it. That 'bloke' was just saying what a lot of them are desperate to say but know they can't so just skirt around it.

Yeah the defense of it is almost bothering me more than the original comments

Yes! I could laugh at the imposter or whoever he/she was.

Also, the instant turnabout from complaining about intimidating or unseemly conduct to "I wasn't talking about the last few pages, mostly populated by Jewish posters responding to deliberately offensive posts when I decided to interject with some moralising, I was talking about all the other posts from the whole thread. I just felt that now was the time to bring it up."

we need a new thread 🧵

It also reads a bit like they think we deserve the antisemitic and hateful comments because we haven't been behaving like they wanted us to. It's all very gross. Ugh.

LAST POST OF THE THREAD! Sorry off topic just very exciting!)
