And if you like this, check out Der Spekter's review of the book and the incredible Bundist writing, art, music, and translations that we publish bi-weekly. Fresh work coming May 1st.

Speaking of critiques from the 30's here's Jacob Pat making these critiques, which were already more than 35 years old

“Fans, journalists and others traveling to the [US] risk encountering a deeply troubling human rights landscape, shaped by the Trump administration’s racist immigration policies, mass detention and deportation, and attacks on freedom of expression and peaceful protest."

Fund people, not bombs. Congress will soon have multiple opportunities to block weapons to Israel and to oppose any more funding for the war on Iran. Act now.

Demand Congress stop arming Israel.

The magazine and pamphlet are in production! Order yours today and get your easy chair ready for some great bundist writing, art, & music.

This is a very good thread. As we wrote in our review of @mollycrabapple.bsky.social's book at www.derspekter.org/here-where-w...

The "success" of the Zionist project, if you call it that, at creating a Jewish state in the Holy Land, has utterly failed at the task of normalizing the Jews as a nation among the nations, and reducing antisemitism against the Diaspora. In fact, the exact opposite.

These folks are right here. There are new Bund chapters forming in Krakow, Vienna, Vilna, Paris, London, & Warsaw. The Bund is what we make it. www.patreon.com/cafebund/about

Locked Up by Israel at 15, Palestine Activist Is Now Jailed by ICE Doxxed by Canary Mission and jailed by ICE, Salah Sarsour calls on his Wisconsin community to challenge injustice.

I don't want Salah Sarsour to get lost in all the noise.

Born in the West Bank, Sarsour was jailed by Israeli occupiers at 15, supporters say he was tortured. Just like today.

After 30 years in the US, Sarsour is now sits ICE jail after being doxxed by Canary Mission and targeted by Marco Rubio

but the fact of the matter is that with the notable exception *of* the mid to late 20th century, every major change in our political system and government has been a partisan or ideological political project.

Declassified files expose Jewish pre-state militia's contacts with the Nazis Stern's Nazi Gamble: Newly Declassified Files Expose Lehi Leader Avraham "Yair" Stern's Strategy to Enlist Germany Against Britain and the Intelligence Tracking That Followed

allying with the bad guys to give them what they want by stealing others' land and creating a militarized & besieged ghetto for the eternal jew is not the victory one might think it is

Let the record show that Jean Ralphio is just an incarnation of Leon Trotsky

Yes, Israel is destroying Lebanon's breadbasket. This is why I have been saying that Israel's goal is to destroy Lebanon itself.

I choose to harmonize these stories: Magyar will arrest Bibi if he comes to Hungary, and also Magyar invited Bibi to come to Hungary (in the same way the spider invites the fly to walk into her parlor).

"The Holocaust proved the Bund was wrong" is both disgusting victim blaming and incredibly stupid.
Hundreds of thousands of Zionists perished in the Holocaust. Does it prove Zionism was wrong?
No Jewish ideology/social movement was able to come up with a plan to survive the Nazi genocide.

Israel escalates attacks on medics in Lebanon with deadly ‘quadruple tap’ Lebanese health ministry says killing of 91 healthcare workers shows ‘total disregard’ for international law

The Israeli army struck civilians in the Lebanese city of Mayfadoun.

And then, the Israelis double-tapped the medics who arrived onto the scene.

And then, they triple-tapped the next wave of medics.

And then, they did it one more time for good measure.

Yes! It's vital we use this exciting moment to make big welcoming onramps for intruiged and excited people to the wider worlds & communities that are waiting for them.

We also have bundles! Get some cool Bundist literature and a sticker!
