Ironically I saw this ad last night.

Evil or completely misguided by untethered rage and extreme betrayal?

There is a Klingon onboard DS9?!

This is like the first time I’ve noticed that.

What is the original scene that Quark is from? I watched “Hear All, Trust Nothing” last week and I wanna find that frame.

I feel like as a 90s kid, someone old enough to remember and understand 9/11, anti-Muslim sentiment has been around a long time. That doesn’t surprise me regarding this.

EDIT: As a Filipino, I grew up hearing a particular flavor of anti-Muslim prejudice. A great grandmother would tell people that [insert censored comment], an outrageously offensive thing that was made up. A aunt would just generalize that certain parts of Philippines were not safe to travel due to Abu Sayyaf, an Islamist terror group.

I am Filipino. A cousin of min, who’s Jewish on his father’s side, decided to have a bat Mitzvah last year. Proud of the kid but I wonder if he has been exposed to actual hate speech behavior that was misdirected at the Jewish people because of the war.

Disliking the actions of the Israeli government is not the same as hating Jewish people. At some point people just started to agree with anything that wasn’t in favor of the Israeli state as being antisemitism. It is alarming how we’ve turned the actual hatred of Jewish people into an issue that isn’t about people actually hating them for their faith practices.

The oppressed have become the oppressors. That is not good.

Jason is the captain (already wears red), Trini is the counselor, Zachary is the Riker-type first officer, Kimberly is the doctor(?), and Billy is the chief of engineering.
