Hey they actually read their own handbook. It’s cruel bullshit mixed with mythological insanity, but at least they’re owning it. Now can we stop hand-feeding them weapons already? Oh no wait, because we’re just as bad. Never mind.
The headline is misleading in that this is not the court’s overall opinion, but a concurring opinion that would’ve gone farther:
While Mintz agreed with Amit’s ruling, he dissented on the notion that Israel has any legal obligation to provide humanitarian aid to Gaza, asserting that the matter falls under the discretion of the government and security authorities, and the court should not intervene.
Basically the majority opinion is that Israel is complying with international law…which I won’t defend, but it’s quite the opposite from what the video is claiming.
I know everyone’s gonna respond that Israel doesn’t actually care about international law, but the video is saying they’re not even pretending and they are, in fact, pretending. No - stop - reality does matter and you shouldn’t encourage people who spread misinformation even if they agree with you. Because then they become Matt Taibbi.

Thank you!
i reverse ate this onion, holy shit.
All religious extremists regardless of fairy tale book are the same kind of evil
christians had thier crusades, inquisitions. Muslims had thier jihads, same thing.
Israelis prefer heroically shooting fish in a barrel
That was when people thought someone with schizophrenia was talking to god. We’re not this ignorant anymore unless you are wilfully ignorant.
some still do, i recently saw a video last year, how a guy with schizo fell in the rabbit hole of christian fundamentlaism, he was saying it was such a dangerous mix.
In case you’re wondering why only psychopaths believe in freedom of religion and not freedom from religion
F
Has anyone looked up morality in the dictionary and compared it to the Torah?
So they’ve admitted to the genocide but have justified it as a god given right that they, and presumably only they, have been given.
I have no room for fairytales that dictate how I should live, but any religion that can be used to justify and defend genocide should not exist. Those who follow it and believe their genocide is defendable should not be trusted and should be treated as the criminals they are.
Sounds like something Christians said at one point. I wonder if there’s some kind of connection with these groups… hmmmm 🤔
Wait, so it is a genocide now?
That didn’t happen.
If it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, it’s not a big deal.
And if it was, that’s not my fault.
I meant it, fuck you, I’ll do it again.
Horrifying headline, but please, just, anyone but Bad Empanada.
I did notice you put an article as well so I’ll look into that.
I just read a chapter called “Zionism” in a book called “Never Again” by Rabbi Meir Kahane (published 2009), because the book was presented to me by the person who owns the copy as being, like, somehow especially important, something about the author being really good or something. I don’t remember exactly. I figured reading this chapter would tell me whether the book is for me (born Buddhist/Jewish in a primarily Jewish/Espicopalian Christian family; celebrated Christmas and Passover but never had a mitzvah, 60% Ashkenazi, yadda yadda), given my lack of education/study of Jewish history. It starts out seemingly taking a neutral/mildly derogatory stance towards Zionism… But by the end of the chapter it’s clear he thinks of modern Palestinians as being still responsible as “Arabs” in general for the past persecution of Jewish people in the region. He pretty much says “these dirty Arabs can’t possibly be genocided hard enough” (paraphrased), and that’s when I put the book down.
I’m not sorry to say: I firmly believe that past atrocities committed against one population by another absolutely do not, in any way, provide a basis for or permission to perform any atrocities in recompense, especially not intergenerationally. Yeah, easy for me to say, being Caucasian, but also, I’m still Jewish, and queer, and disabled, so I don’t know what it’s like to live with daily racism, but I’m definitely not even actually that close to the top of the social hierarchy
Yep, that’s what happens when you let religious people get close to Law unchecked.
That’s why the USA
hashad the Separation Clause.
I remember how my Jewish liberal family and friends talked about Israel as a secular society and that this is what separated us from the Arab neighbors. Certainly takes this notion, digs a deep grave, and buries it. Israel is the Nazi equivalent of the 1930s/40s and they’re not even hiding it anymore.
Lebanon is a secular country home to 18 different religious sects. The people/society aren’t secular of course, but the government is made up of people from various religions.
Egypt is a secular military dictatorship where 10% of the people (about 10 million) are Christians.
Non-Jews are denied citizenship and thus disenfranchised. Textbook apartheid. Israel can be a Jewish state or a democracy, it cannot be both

I have to fact check this, it’s a clear lie.
In the wake of the 1948 Palestine war, the Israeli government conferred Israeli citizenship upon all Palestinians who had remained or were not expelled. However, they were subject to discrimination by being placed under martial law until 1966, while other Israeli citizens were not. In the early 1980s, Israel granted citizenship eligibility to the Palestinians in East Jerusalem and the Syrian citizens of the Golan Heights by annexing both areas, though they remain internationally recognized as part of the Israeli-occupied territories, which came into being after the Six-Day War of 1967. Acquisition of Israeli citizenship in East Jerusalem has been scarce, as only 5% of Palestinians in East Jerusalem were Israeli citizens in 2022, largely due to Palestinian society’s disapproval of naturalization as complicity with the occupation. After the Second Intifada, the opposition loosened, but Israel made the process more difficult, approving only 34% of new Palestinian applications.[citation needed]
According to the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics, the Israeli Arab population stood at 2.1 million people in 2023, accounting for 21% of Israel’s total population. The majority of these Arab citizens identify themselves as Arab or Palestinian by nationality and as Israeli by citizenship. They mostly live in Arab-majority towns and cities, some of which are among the poorest in the country, and generally attend schools that are separated to some degree from those attended by Jewish Israelis. Arab political parties traditionally did not join governing coalitions until 2021, when the United Arab List became the first to do so. The Druze and the Bedouin in the Negev and the Galilee have historically expressed the strongest non-Jewish affinity to Israel and are more likely to identify as Israelis than other Arab citizens.
There are a lot of parallels to apartheid, but it’s somewhere between.
I think a closer parallel could be Ireland under Cromwell, which is still not a good model.
Unfortunately no longer true since the 2018 basic law where Israel defined themselves as for the Jewish people only, revoking a core part of the 1992 Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty. Which led to large public protests within Israel at the time. The current admin are off the rails atm.
After it was passed, several groups in the Jewish diaspora expressed concern that it was actively violating Israel’s self-defined legal status as a “Jewish and democratic state” in exchange for adopting an exclusively Jewish identity.
I swear the only 3 countries I’ve heard scream about being secular are France, Israel, and India, all of which are exactly the opposite because the government is exclusively following a religious doctrine and cracking down on minorities as well as anyone not a part of that national religion.

It’s OK to wear a cross in, It’s OK to make the sign of the cross, because that’s the majority religion. Headscarves, however, are considered a “outfit ostensibly showing a […] religious affiliation” and that should, according to some french lawmakers, be banned.
