IsraAID is an Israeli humanitarian NGO that responds to global emergencies—including forced displacement and refugee crises as part of broader disaster relief—but it is not focused exclusively on immigration policy.
American Jewish World Service (AJWS) champions human rights and funds global justice efforts, including in contexts of displacement, though its primary framing is broader human-rights advocacy rather than refugee resettlement or asylum assistance per se.
American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) has deep roots in refugee rescue and resettlement historically and remains one of the largest Jewish humanitarian bodies responding to crisis situations that produce displacement; its work spans emergency relief, community rebuilding, and assisting displaced people in times of conflict.
The Synagogue Coalition on the Refugee and Immigration Crisis (SCRIC) is a coalition of congregations and nonprofits engaged in direct service and advocacy for refugees and immigrants.
World Jewish Relief historically aided refugees in the 20th century and continues as a major British Jewish international humanitarian organization, though its current global work is broad humanitarian aid rather than exclusively immigration policy.
HIAS (originally Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society) is unquestionably central to refugee and immigrant assistance, providing legal aid, resettlement services, advocacy, and community engagement for displaced people around the world, grounded in Jewish tradition and operating globally.
HIAS+JCORE in the UK works specifically on refugee and asylum seeker support, campaigns on asylum policy, offers direct support, and mobilizes Jewish communities around these issues.
@guestman hi. I don't have anything good to post either. The joy comes from interacting with each other far away from the AI algorithm overlord
I don't wish bad things on anyone but events like this expose how utterly worthless bossy female cops are when shit really hits the fan. They are not only a danger to themselves but to countless others who would expect protection from them. Female cops are an utter disgrace and liability. I hate them.
Otoh: "For Gen Z, Christianity as a cultural default is gone in most of Europe. Previous generations may have still identified as "culturally Christian" even if they didn't attend church. Gen Z is actively choosing non-affiliation.."
To me this sounds like taking off something lukewarm, something fake, and looking for something genuine. The term cultural Christian needs to exit reality. What that something genuine may be depends on each individual. May it be a genuine encounter with Christ.
If a Return to God is seen as a prerequisite for saving Europe, then this particular sign is less than hopeful: the numbers show an unprecedented break from belief in God across all Europe for Gen Z.
Southern Europe shows the most dramatic break with the past.
While Northern and Western Europe (like Sweden and UK) have the highest absolute numbers of atheists among Gen Z, Southern Europe (like Spain, Portugal, and Italy) shows the steepest decline between the oldest and youngest generations.
For the first game to play on my new PC I chose Aliens: Dark Descent, just based on mood. A new game for me.
The game is said to offer 20 hours for the campaign but based on my first two hours with it, it feels like one of those games that easily consume 100. Its premise is like "Darkest Dungeon but it's Aliens top-down real-time", with a 'dungeon' that adapts to your movements.
Only negatives so far, the ugly female lead (Ripley was tomboyish but attractive), and the rather overt brown tones.
