Here, a techie talking about why he can’t sleep: Paul Biggar
Sometimes I work out how many people my taxes have killed. Intrusive thoughts. Maybe they’re used for roads or healthcare, but maybe I bought a bomb last year and it razed a city block in Khan Yunis. Maybe it killed 50 people. Maybe I killed 50 people.
My investors keep posting. How unsafe the kids feel at Harvard. Railing against “From the river to the sea” as they conveniently omit “Palestine will be free” . Cancelling Tiktok for teaching the kids history instead of US and Israeli propaganda.

Anything to keep your eyes off the rubble that Gaza has become. The trail of tears to an empty desert, bombed and shot as they go . Anything to avoid their own culpability in this genocide. They are Hess. They post Israeli flags on twitter as Israel drops bombs on Gaza. They protest a ceasefire. THEY PROTEST A FUCKING CEASEFIRE.
I don’t know what to do, but I know these are not my people. Who can work with people whitewashing genocide. Are we supposed to pretend it’s business as usual as we send our friends’ intros, frolic at conferences, discuss monetization strategy.
To Ed Sim, Erica Brescia, Michael Dearing, and especially Matt Ocko, we’re done [47]. I’ll never pitch you again, never ask for help, never send intros or recommend you. I’m done with Boldstart, and DCVC, and Harrison Metal, and Redpoint. (I’m also done with Bessemer [48] and Sequoia [49] and First Round [50].)
I’m ashamed that these are some of my biggest supporters over the years, the people who invested in me, twice, the people who helped, who advised. I cannot work with the people whitewashing a killing, the people who know it’s happening, and who cover for it, who support the IDF and the US administration which allows it, which funds it.

STEM? Fuck them:
Stating on the Oyster Venture’s website that she honed her skills at Rothenberg Ventures, a firm described by Bloomberg as “The Valley’s Party Animal”, we wonder if Sophia Liao did even the most cursory of research on her soon to be co-managing partner, Kenneth Ballenegger.
Kenneth was previously the co-founder and Chief of Strategy of Republic Crypto, the blockchain arm of early-stage investment platform, Republic, and ran institutional fund products at Angellist.
In 2008, whilst attending Eden College in Durban, Kenneth penned a report for his history class titled “Report on Apartheid”. Based on surveying his teachers who lived through apartheid, Kenneth concludes:
“Apartheid is often criticized as a pure evil system, without taking the full factors and results into consideration. When compared to other post-colonial countries in Africa, the situation in South Africa today is much better than anywhere else. This is principally thanks to apartheid system, which albeit repressive and anti-constitutional, prevented full-scale civil war and evolved South Africa and made it into a modern developed country, and improved the quality of living”
Whilst one can put this down to a mind not yet of age, Kenneth’s proclivity for genocide was seemingly just getting started.
In subsequently deleted X posts, Kenneth called for re-education camps and the sterilisation of the people of Gaza, as the “only way to pacify the jihadi population” and went on to say that “the world would be a much better place if they didn’t reproduce”

Yeah, infants, keeping Christians childlike and childish: Christmas is on Dec. 25, but it wasn’t always. Dec. 25 is not the date mentioned in the Bible as the day of Jesus’s birth; the Bible is actually silent on the day or the time of year when Mary was said to have given birth to him in Bethlehem. The earliest Christians did not celebrate his birth.

“And when the angels said, ‘O Mary, indeed Allah gives you good tidings of a word from Him, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary – distinguished in this world and the hereafter and among those brought near [to Allah]” (The Quran 3:45).
There is something beautifully sacred about the moment in the Quran when the angels inform Mary she is about to give birth to Jesus. Angels bring her the good news. They tell her of how “He will speak to the people in the cradle and in maturity and will be of the righteous.”
The massive propaganda to cast the resistance of Palestinians to the colonial occupation and theft of their homeland as a battle between “Jews and Arabs” was so dominant in the la la land of the US and even Europe that the very idea that Palestinians are Christians, too, and that Jesus was, in fact, a Palestinian Jewish Rabbi scares and confuses the living daylight out of their slumbering ignorance.
The very simple fact that Palestinians have historically been Jews, Christians, and Muslims was hard to digest in that la la land. By extension, also the very simple fact that Christ and Mary are two seminal figures in the Quran has also been seen as a strange proposition in this banality.
Jesus was a Palestinian Jew who spoke Aramaic, a language in the same family as Hebrew and Arabic. He came from the same prophetic tradition as Prophets Moses and Mohammad.
There are, of course, doctrinal differences between the figure of Jesus as he appears in the Quran and his divinity as understood in Christianity. Here it is crucial to remember the manner in which in both Persian poetry and Islamic mysticism, the figure of Christ expands into the far more pervasive icon of divine mercy. The seminal Sufi master Ibn Arabi (1165-1240) has in his works, particularly in the chapter, The Wisdom of Prophecy in the Word of Jesus, in his masterpiece, Fusus al-Hikam/Bezels of Wisdom, sought to bring conceptual harmony between the Muslim and Christian perceptions of Jesus.
Through his doctrine of “Oneness of Being”, Ibn Arabi accommodated the question of sonship in Christian doctrine: Jesus emerges as a “Perfect Man” and “the Seal of Saints”. Ibn Arabi cites the Quranic references to Jesus’ ability to bring a clay bird to life as an indication of the Divine Will.
In his exquisite study, Jesus Through the Centuries: His Place in the History of Culture (1985), the eminent historian and theologian Jaroslav Pelikan has demonstrated that, throughout history the image of Christ has gone through successive reformations, from a Jewish Rabbi to “Light of Gentiles”, “the King of Kings”, “the Son of Man”, “the Monk who rules the World”, “the Universal Man”, “the Prince of Peace”, to a liberator who inspired Lev Tolstoy, Mahatma Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, Jr to “the Man who belongs to the World”.
What Would Jesus Do About Censorship?
In October 2021, Bristol University terminated sociology Professor David Miller [watch] following an extensive campaign orchestrated by several actors acting in bad faith. The Union of Jewish Students, funded by Israel, spearheaded the effort.
Here we are with the mass murdering media and Julian:
Yeah, that mass media which will not put this on: Watch, Warning: contains some graphic footage.
While Israel is causing starvation in Gaza, Israeli soldiers are cheerfully filming themselves destroying food, looting, and vandalizing Palestinian property.
Oh, the mysteries of Divine Will — one clay bird in hand, is a sparrow in flight?
Man, that Divine Will is Missing in Gaza? Sacrificial Zone for more of this crappy sappy failed childish bunk. Come on, Divine Spirit. Any help for those kids in Gaza?
Attempts to provide biblical warrants for Christian participation in warfare have long been offered by those who reject Christ-centered nonviolence. Some of the arguments that have frequently been offered in defense of Christians on the battlefield go back to the fourth century to Ambrose and Augustine. Below in bold type are brief statements of some of the more common “biblical” justifications for the Christian’s participation in war. Following each of them is a short response that indicates why the argument fails to make the intended case.
“When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed; this must take place, but the end is still to come” (Mark 13:7, also Matt. 24:6, Lk. 21:9).
The followers of Jesus conquer “by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony” (Rev.12:11). Any violence that is done in this highly symbolic book is performed by Christ himself, along with angelic forces. The primary weapon of Jesus is the “sword from his mouth” (Rev. 1:16, 19:15, 21).
In the book of Revelation, as elsewhere in the New Testament, Christians are not to cause suffering but are called upon to endure it, trusting that the ultimate victory is in the hands of God. Nowhere in scripture are Christians called to emulate the glorified Christ in ways of judgment, power or punishment. Instead Christians are urged to follow the self-giving way of the incarnate One, “Who though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant…[H]e humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross” (Phil. 2:6-8). — Craig M.
