Once upon a time so much of our content circled around critiques and defense of JVP that it was distracting from all else so we made a temporary rule to contain all JVP based arguing to one thread.

Its been a minute and the topics perculating again so I'm getting ahead of things:

Any discussion about JVPs merits as an org positive or negative will be contained to this megathread. Any other conversation of it elsewhere will be removed. This does not include headlinea involving them or actions they take but rather the derivative "they arent even Jewish" conversations that follow.

Under normal circumstances wondering about the Jewishness of orgs is straying into grey areas with the rules around questioning others Jewishness. Nominally the rule is to do with individuals here not orgs in general but that becomes a blurry like when members of orgs are subs here. Understand that this topic is fair game in this space and no where else and disparaging the Jewishness of members of this sub will still be verboten.

Thanks for your attention to this matter.

So r/jewishleft,

Whats on your mind?

Let's say someone were to make a subreddit in the r slash okaybuddyx style that was a Jewish shitposting forum meant to be styled and themed after a beit din where someone is bringing an idea for consideration or has a question about a ruling.

Picture automatic post pinned messages like "upvote if this is mutar, downvote for asur. Comment your obligatory third opinion below." That kind of vibe.

Which of the above names is the best fit for such a thing?

This is a monthly automatic post suggested by community members to serve as a space to offer sources, ask questions, and engage in conversations we don't feel warrant their own post.

Anything from history to political theory to Jewish practice. If you wanna share or ask something about Judaism or leftism or their intersection but don't want to make a post, here's the place.

If you'd like to discuss something more off topic for the sub I recommend the weekly discussion post that also refreshes.

If you'd like to suggest changes to how this post functions doing so in these comments is fine.

Thanks!

***Making a refreshing megathread to keep things updated and fresh***

Going to jump ahead of this one and ask folks to post articles opinions questions and anxieties to do with the developing war in Iran here.

Please know that this sub(its mod team anyway):

Is against killing noncombatants for any reason in any context.

Is against unilateral Imperialism (or Bilateral...), the concept of the US hegemon as legitimate world police, or any other strong arm diplomacy that skirts international and domestic law and yields supreme authority to strong man leaders with ulterior motives. Nor indeed a regional state actions that enable and promote violence by proxy or diplomatic force.

Is against the murder of protestors or again noncombatants in general.

Please pay close attention to rules around engaging in good faith and should you encounter something you find objectionable please report and do not engage in excessive fighting. If someone says something against the rules and you break the rules condemning them you will also receive mod action.

Thank you,

Oren
