@paninid I haven't asked around but I strongly suspect so. Such people are described in Israeli media as "liberal Jews", which would include "non-practicing" Jews. I've had debate run-ins with (this seems to me quite the oxymoron) atheist Jews who are in fact rabidly Zionist. I heard an author being interviewed in passing, didn't catch his name but his catch phrase is quite timely: something to the effect of--in a one-eyed world, the two-eyed are the marginalized.
SPUNGE. A thirsty fellow, a great drinker. To spunge; to eat and drink at another's cost. Spunging-house: a bailiff's lock-up-house, or repository, to which persons arrested are taken, till they find bail, or have spent all their money:

@TheVulgarTongue@histodons Spunge, pretty sure Jack Vance used that … or it just sounds like something he would’ve liked. It is a good sounding one.
Spunge .. spunge!
@TheConversationUS@histodons After World War II the French persisted with what can only be called fake history or national amnesia in which their collaboration during the 1940-1944 German Occupation and the outrages of the Vichy Government under Marshall Phillippe Pétain were suppressed if not forgotten. Paris was very slow to understand that it lost stature after WWII because of its complicity and collaboration during the Occupation and that the center of the art world had shifted to New York to which many artists and dealers had emigrated in response to French behavior during the Occupation.

DILDO. [From the Italian DILETTO, q. d. a woman's delight; or from our word DALLY, q. d. a thing to play withal.] Penis-succedaneus, called in Lombardy Passo Tempo. Bailey.

Part 2 of my #AtoZChallenge2024 reflection. I love the personal connection you find with #coins & the community. I wrote most of the posts in the weeks prior to the #AtoZChallenge. This was fortuitous as my mother passed away early in April. But those connections made it a joy to re-read each post & share it. Today's #coin is from day "D", #Denmark, & a park open when my ancesters lived there: https://coinofnote.com/25-ore-token-denmark-dyrehavsbakken/
PUFFING. Bidding at an auction, as above; also praising any thing above its merits, from interested motives. The art of puffing is at present greatly practised, and essentially necessary in all trades, professions, and callings. To puff and blow; to be out of breath.

81 years after the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, we speak with Havi Dreifuss of Tel Aviv University about the Jewish perspective on the Holocaust in Poland, resistance, and her book on the end of the ghetto.
@jakobwannsee
I have an informational question: are there measures taken to prevent pro Palestine activists from interrupting this event and others? Thanks. @histodons@href
@nadav@jakobwannsee@histodons@href I also have an informational question: are there measures being taken to prevent any of our contemporaries from getting the idea that when an ethnically defined other has been pushed from their homes into a densely populated area surrounded by soldiers, prevented from leaving, and periodically killed en masse, then this justifies resistance?

À Carthagène, vivaient des libertinos: esclaves musulmans. déliés de leur maisonnée, mais travaillant pour payer leur liberté. Thomas Glesener et Daniel Hershenzon démêlent avec finesse les conflits de normativités, entre religion, coutume et autorité royale, pour mieux appréhender l'esclavage.
#EarlyModern#History needs your help! Bartmann / Bellarmine jugs were made in a very specific region of the rhineland between 1500 -1750 to be exported to England & the Netherlands. With colonial expansion they've found there way across the globe. Now an international research projects seeks to establish a comprehensive history & typology of the jugs. So if you have seen one of those shown in the Wanted Foto attached, get in touch with the researchers! @histodons
