Most Jews are not israeli and israel is not representative of Judaism, but israel does claim Judaism as a core part of its "national" identity, so there's nothing antisemitic about pointing out the irony of Nazis supporting israel. The irony may be pretty superficial tho, some of the other replies here point out several reasons why Nazism and Zionism/israel are actually aligned.

I've been happy with Phonograph for queueing, nothing special but it seems very easy to use to me. Looks like tons of good recommendations on this thread I haven't tried out tho, definitely might be something better out there

This is the drilling rig on the Joides Resolution, a research ship that has made contributions to our understanding of paleontology, plate techtonics, and climate science over the past 40 years. The cool geometric structure insulates a camera from vibrations so they can get a clear view of the seafloor. Neat retrospective on the ship (with more photos) here: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/oct/09/a-huge-loss-is-it-the-end-for-the-ship-that-helped-us-understand-life-on-earth

There's great arguments here about how a service corps could bridge divides and give all youth a better pathway from highschool into the (often predatory) worlds of job markets and higher ed, and also great arguments about why mandatory service infringes on freedom pretty significantly.

Is there a way to structure a national year of service idea that gives people the freedom to opt out yet would still get chosen by many kids from diverse backgrounds? Like how do we get kids who have had a college fund ready to go since they were born to see the benefits of spending a year building bridges? It would be a neat cultural shift.
