    I was reading an earlier thread about Israel today. Someone posted that "jews should stop feeling like victims, a lot has changed in 60 years"

    You know what? Anti-Semitism hasn't. #synagogueshooting

    @sarah.of.a.lesser.god (aka Mrs. BrutallyHonestHobbit): Here was the comment:

    "I don't really understand this (quite widespread) investment in understanding Jewish people as the perpetual victims. The last 60 years have constituted quite a turn-around in this situation, and I think it's about time we all recognize it. "

    Said here on a Jezebel post- I can only imagine if it was said about any other minority, the uproar it would cause.

    My feelings about Israel is complicated as well, but every time I reminded that I'm hated because of my religion I am so thankful and realize how important it is, to have a homeland. #synagogueshooting

    Is it wrong to be glad that the optimism slipped down? I actually met someone (granted an idiot about most things) who said that clearly there is no discrimination anymore against black people since Obama was able to get elected. It made me a little fearful that some people would decide there are no more problems to be worked on. #crackerbarrel

    I am suspicious of this Obama / Clinton story, because when Obama was actually vetting candidates for VP he and his team went out of their way to repeatedly state that they were not vetting Hillary. So this sounds revisionist to me: I'm sure she came up at some point (early) in the discussions, but it wasn't serious enough for her to be even in the top 5 or however many were vetted. I think that now that having her in his Administration has gone well, they're trying to make it look like they considered her seriously, because it clearly would not have been a political misstep. But I still remember those times, and you can't fool somebody who pays attention. #crackerbarrel

    @mommy_dearest: I think you're partly right, but not about being bullied. He won the primary, so the "bully", if there was one, would be him. But I do agree that they considered the outward image a lot, which could lead to this story (Obama saying, well if I want a good SoS, she's got the creds... but then for undisclosed reasons not even vetting her) being true. But not being complimentary. I just think, everyone knew she was "considered". And we knew she didn't make it to the vetting stage. So for him to say she was "considered seriously" just seems like a sop. The words have no meaning. #crackerbarrel

    @Mary McCarthyite: I find proseletysing so rude and presumptive. It genuinely offends me, and does a lot more harm than good in terms of my opinion of them. Plenty of religions don't rely on invasive conversion efforts, and they're doing just fine. I wish evangelicals would mind their own holy business.

    People always, always seem to think women either weigh 100 or 120 pounds. 100 if you are petite or taller and extremely skinny, 120 if you short but curvy or tall and normal. Unless you are underweight or overweight, people will always guess one of those two numbers. It's incredible. #crackerbarrel
