I've also wondered this. The generation that was promised they would all die in nuclear armageddon so they treated the planet and everyone and everything as if all life was going away anyway not being denied their just deserts.
This also makes the whole Huckabee choice much more foreboding...
If by “speak Hebrew” to mean “converse in modern Hebrew” that’s exactly what I’m saying. If you mean it to mean “understand the Talmud” then it’s not exactly based but also not that great a personal failing (note, I am not an Orthodox Jew - the rabbis would disagree with that)
Not only that, but because religious Jews believe that the Hebrew Bible is the word of god (which makes the language itself holy) the ultra-orthodox position historically was that “modern Hebrew” is heretical. An example of why they think that is along these lines: ancient Hebrew did not have a concept for a “tie game in soccer” so modern Hebrew borrowed a term from the ancient language that essentially referred to a logical stalemate between the rabbis. Using that theological term for a frivolous activity is seen as a deliberate distortion of god’s holy language.
You are giving him too much credit (i.e., assuming he has a well thought-out coherent connection to those symbols instead of the being vibes based history). The original crusaders were Catholics, which Pete is not. The current Crusade is a Protestant Crusade and he sees himself as a Protestant Crusader (notwithstanding the catholic imagery he got permanently etched into his skin). The Protestant crusade is along the lines of what Nakoichi laid out - they conscript Jewish foot soldiers as functionaries within their Protestant theology to crusade the holy land for the protestant end-times which requires "Jewish" control of the land.
Just like all satires of this ghoulish system, the settler culture will unironically and enthusiastically buy right in. See also Starship Troopers [movie]
Throwing my hat in for not resigning. The situation was messy but your handling of it and overall respectful tone and willingness to engage in good faith is what good leadership is. The site needs that and it is in situations like this where it is proved.
After Biden succumbs to his wounds following a closeup gun shot to the stomach by John Hinkley Jr., Carter returns to the White House, thus completing the neoliberal revolution in the original sense of “revolution,” which implies a return to the place where it began.
