While there are a few people here, at the very least, unconsciously conflating the two, I think the point kerrigan778 is pointing out is that writing this message only on kosher meals is clearly making an assumption that a Jewish person is pro- the current genocide in Gaza.

Sure, it’s not as bad as genocide, most clearly, but it’s still a form of prejudice and can put a person at risk (we could reasonably justify morally putting something that would cause damage or sickness in the food of a genocider but, if you’re targeting ends up including people who aren’t in support of the genocide, you’re hurting those people – too –, now).

And, given the history of hatred against Jewish people (and it’s uptick starting in 2016), I’d argue it’s something we should also be concerned about and stopping. I think that was their only point.

That feels like the type of nuance that a person who would assume that Jewish-person = support-for-Israel’s-genocide would not have the forethought of.

Yes; I would agree that behavior of those people is egregious.

But I’m not actually certain you want to be on record as saying that the behavior of the majority of a group means we can judge every member of that group by it, do you? Reviving prejudicial practices feels like the wrong bandwagon.

Which is bad; obviously. Nobody in this thread is doing any apologia for Israel.

In part because that’s not what depicted in this image, is it? This was a message written explicitly on kosher meals likely because the person who did it was conflating all Jewish people with being Israel supporters. Unless you’re O. K. with profiling, it should not be hard to identify the problem here. Fighting individual Jewish people is not the same as fighting Israel and it’s certainly not one we should be tolerating.

Which is terrible of Israel and rightly deserves criticism; I miss how it necessitates us, as individuals, to be alright or comfortable with the conflation of all Jewish people, as a whole, with holding unified belief, particularly in a world with a very long history of prejudice that argues they’re a wily group that works in unified concert to achieve singular ends.

People post links to things weeks after the fact on Twitter all the time; that’s pretty benign.

While yes, the specific term “anti-Semitism” was popularized by the German journalist Wilhelm Marr as an alternative to the (at the time) more common phrase Judenhaß (e.g. Jew-hatred).

Basically, he wanted a more scientific-sounding term that made it sound less like plain hatred of other people but made it seem like the supposed deficiencies of Jewish people was a byproduct of their race rather than belonging to Jewish individuals.

His use of semitism/semitic as only referring to Jewish people rather than the broader group of peoples the terms had, originally, been coined for was also in line with other Germans of both his era and the previous century (and certainly into the next century as the Nazis used these reasonings to back their more developed “race” science and world-view).

That targeting has often been retained by the word even as it’s outgrown its original prejudiced purpose.

Are all Jewish people committing genocide?

Well, they’re both Germanic languages so not terribly surprising, I’d assume?

I mean, – in college – the running joke in my CS department was to try reading the man page even though it would likely be impenetrable.

I think the issue is that they’re written from the perspective of someone in deep knowledge of the entire system already rather than someone who might be using it for the first time and trying to figure out their was around.

Let’s take the first fragment of the first sentence of ls’s page: “For each operand that names a file of a type other than directory[…].”

Well, what’s a directory? Most people use the term folder; that could arguably not be fair as the term directory came first so let’s ignore that criticism.

What’s an operand in this scenario? While an accurate term, not exactly the most familiar (and certainly not helpful to, say, my partner who, due to dyscalculia, is almost certainly not to be familiar as it’s most often used in math). But we crack open a dictionary and find it’s the bit manipulated by an operator.

So…the text we give ls? Does that include values we give to the flags (not that I’d know what those are, yet, or what they do). And, of course, the SYNOPSIS describes that text we give as “file” while the very next sentence lets us know that operands can also be directories (mostly, most people think of files and directories as different things) so there’s already an overt disconnect between the verbage, description, and examples, disallowing any pattern matching of my brain to quickly piece concepts together.

All of which will probably be hard for me to quickly comprehend as I’m expecting a description of a thing to start with what the thing is rather than immediately describing a small facet of the thing.

Like…I’d argue it’s poorly written, on it’s own face, but it’s utterly bewildering for someone who isn’t even entirely certain what all the pieces of the new world they’re exploring are, yet, and is trying to piece things together via concept clues.

Well, the birthday suit is given quite a bit of wear, in those.

Margarita; friends bought it for me on my 21st birthday.

Ubuntu; I tend towards Debian Mint, if I’m choosing something more mainstream these days, but I main Guix, now.

If you work on your flexibility (slowly and carefully), it can be easier. But, ultimately, it will always depend on the dimensions the person is born with.
