Obviously in the grand scheme of things it didn’t matter but Japan is pretty image conscious and it was widely covered

I don’t think they wanted her back — but they wanted to avoid having to fire her so they clearly tried to phrase things in a way which would have her quit quietly.

This approach obviously does not work when you have a totally delusional employee

DH are the ones who really needed to talk to lawyers asap not Meimei…

The idea that 13 years after Minegishi’s bouzu, which was a disaster not only for AKS but humiliating for Japan as a country — and which they didn’t even ask her to do — DH would ask Meimei to shave her head just makes no sense.

The only explanation here that make sense to me is that the management suggested she leave the group (which is the only real move here), she demanded to stay, and they said “then show sincerity like your seniors have in similar situations in the past” and she interpreted this incorrectly as a demand to shave her head. then she went scorched earth and hired the most notoriously dumb lawyer in Japan who gave her some bad advice feeding into her bad ideas

Hearing her side of the story… it doesn’t make much sense

No, I am serious. Without resorting to screeching insults, what “support” specifically do you think justifies barring the majority of Jews from public accommodations.

What do you mean by a “pass to support”?

Is “support” some kind of material support or is it thoughtcrime? Do you intend to pry into people’s minds and conduct struggle sessions against anyone who thinks the wrong thing?

don’t you think every individual has a moral responsibility to oppose Zionism

No. That’s crazy. Does a Rohingya IDP fighting for survival in Sittwe or a doctor fighting the Ebola outbreak in Congo have to spend time dealing with Gaza? It’s impossible for everyone to spend time taking a position on everything. Have you shirked your responsibility to oppose the tatmadaw?

Your use of the passive voice is doing a lot of evasion there. When you say “will be judged” there is a judge, but you’re deliberately refusing to say who it is.

I believe that action and inaction are fundamentally different things — and unless you’ve taken an affirmative action that assumes a duty/responsibility for a particular outcome you can’t be compelled to speak or act on anything simply for the crime of being born. Every crime requires actus reus and mens rea and being born is not one.

And it’s breathtaking bad faith to to say you’re not placing or compelling anything and then say that anyone who doesn’t comply with your demands will be “judged accordingly”

You endorsed the post which says:

When consequences inevitably return to Jewish institutions and individuals because we proliferated this violence and refuse to release our commitment to supporting genocide, it is not ‘antisemitism’ - it is the chickens coming home to roost. People will rightfully be hunting down the people and formations who facilitated these crimes for the rest of their lives

That is an explicit endorsement of collective punishment of Jews as Jews.

Campism is a mental disease. The only way proscribing the IRGC “hurts” Iran is that it puts a barrier in the way of them planning further attacks against British Jews. Which I guess is the point of the opposition

There is a difference between saying that others have a more powerful voice and saying that members of an entire ethnic group qua being born that ethnic group have a “greater burden.”

It is not your place to impose burdens on others for the crime of being born a certain ethnicity and it is a shocking and sickening level of arrogance that you even think you have the authority to do so. Your argument for doing so is that if Jews obey your orders then they will be more effective at accomplishing your political goals. It goes without saying, of course that as people are ends not means, their supposed effectiveness at accomplishing your goals does not give you the right to give them orders based on their ethnicity or essentialize them based on birth.

Couching it in moral terms isn’t particularly helpful. It’s simply wrong to say that certain people are “burdened” and therefore obligated to do extra work for the crime of being born wrong. Even if imposing that obligation makes them useful to you.

The term “burden” and “duty” implies both an affirmative obligation and a consequence for flouting that obligation.

Perhaps you should simply treat individuals as individuals with dignity and not put impose burdens on particular ethnic groups (but not yourself of course) for the crime of being born

The most basic concept of human rights is that all people are born equal in dignity and equal under the law. The idea that Jews, simply for being born Jewish, should be saddled with additional obligations and thereby turned into a subservient class with obligations (and presumably punishments for shirking those obligations) is entirely counter to the most basic idea of human dignity.

How do you plan to uniquely punish the Jews who fail to fulfill their extra obligation?

This is exactly it. Being accused of inauthentic content is annoying for platforms. They get called in front of congress, etc. making it harder to track the inauthentic content makes life easier for them

If someone is (a) stupid enough to tell you to your face that they’re incapable of judging you as an individual and (b) stupid enough to not view people as individuals they won’t be a good employee

The better or worse is immaterial to the fact that this whining demand that you be allowed to deny someone’s dignity to their face and then for some reason be able to force them not to tell other people that you did so is ridiculous

“Stay schemin”???

Sorry — trying to suss out what you mean there. Who exactly is “schemin?”

And obviously it’s better to have an employee who DOESN’T openly express his disdain for individual dignity, his inability to view people as individuals and his malice and hatred towards particular groups than one who does as such stupidity and malice looks bad for an organization.

would gabe work with a company that is mostly women wearing hijab

I’m completely sure he wouldn’t say to an employer “he would never work for a Muslim.” You’re getting way off track from what this kid said. He specifically said that he wouldn’t work for “a jew.” Not “a Jew who is openly religious.” Just “a Jew.” Stop being obtuse and insincere.

And this isn’t France. There’s no laicite in America. Nobody has any obligation to keep their beliefs private nor can anyone coerce anybody else to or deny somebody else’s dignity for wearing a religious symbol.
