@ElishevaAvital By the way, if you message me, I can show you how you could request your grandfather's military personnel file from the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis. A lot of the WWII-era military service files burned up in a fire in 1973, but not all, so still worth trying.

@ShaiDavidai We need to talk about safe spaces for political dissenters too. I'm wondering if the attack on pro-Palestine protestors with skunk water by Israeli students who are members of the IDF bothers you at all. Doesn't seem like it.

@ck1actual @tisaiahcho Christians also complain the loudest about "socialism" (i.e., government welfare programs) even as they give to charitable organizations. For some of them, charitable giving allows them the illusion of generosity while they choke off efforts at resolving structural poverty.
