so i’ve been pretty personal in the last few posts. gross. we’re not doing that this time around. no, today, we’re gonna prove, despite our strong condemnation of the Israeli government and its actions in gaza, that we are NOT anti-semitic. how are we going to do that? by demonstrating our knowledge of the jewish […]
