america has white anti-Americans shrug-outta-hecks

sometimes people are just born there, or don’t have a plan B. Think that one Taylor Swift account that went to jail for refusing to join the IDF.

My bigger question is how you get those people concentrated in one neighborhood, I’d expect them to be pretty equally spread around

Spitballing, maybe the community formed around the anti-Zionist synagogue? Could be a sort of self-selecting process emilie-shrug

That would make sense. And of course once it gets that reputation it becomes self reinforcing

Think of Greenwich village in New York in the 70s or Exarchia in Athens in the 2010s. Radical neighborhoods are a thing for whatever reason.

I’ll be honest I can’t imagine being able to pick a neighborhood based on anything other than rent and proximity to work

[-] Nagarjuna@hexbear.net 22 points 11 months ago

Greenwich village was cheap and in a dense neighborhood, so it also fit those criteria. It wasn't like rich radicals moving to the burbs together or something

[-] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 19 points 11 months ago

Man imagining a world where Greenwich Village is affordable is difficult lmao

Outsiders cluster together for mutual protection and support. Same way you get LGBT neighborhoods in conservative cities

TBH I feel like it's a bad idea to put all the good people in one place

[-] Sephitard9001@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago

Think of it from Israel's POV: they're putting all the bad people in one place so they can do shit like this. Makes perfect sense. It's how they do it in America and they train American cops don't they?

It’s an old religious Jewish neighbourhood from the time of the Ottoman Empire. The people who live there have always been very religious. And they’ve been there since way before Israel was even a glimmer in the eyes of European Zionists.

And if you take the religion seriously, Israel should only exist again once the Messiah returned…
