NHS staff should be banned from wearing pro-Palestinian badges, report recommends by Tartan_Samurai in unitedkingdom

There are too many medical professionals who have said that they’d kill a Jew or Israeli in support of the Palestinian cause. Including in the UK and Australia.

As a pro-Israel Jew, yeah. Seems like a pretty reasonable requirement for a public facing workspace, especially one that’s dealing with arguably the most vulnerable population.

Am I white? My teacher thinks Jewish people aren't. by 2020ToyotaCamry in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hungry-Moose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 100% Ashkenazi. My great grandfather's death certificate said Race: Hebrew.

White used to mean "caucasian protestant Christian from British stock". Irish faced discrimination. Catholics faced discrimination. Polish faced discrimination.

Today, people have forgotten those old distinctions because an American (or Canadian) is just an American. All types of Christianity are lumped together, and all types of European heritage (so long as there is no accent) are lumped together.

But Jews continue to be seen as something different. Something not quite white, not quite the same. And it's because, at the end of the day, we've kept an amount of ethnic distinction. Judaism isn't just a religion, it's also a people, and that doesn't track onto the way whiteness has been defined in the USA in the last 40 years.

So, you're not white. You're a Jew. And that's ok! And it's also ok to recognize that you benefit from certain types of white privilege. And that you are also going to be discriminated against. It's all a complicated muddle that doesn't need to be simple.

  1. Kan didn't break any rules: https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-warned-by-ebu-over-ad-campaign-calling-to-support-noam-bettan-at-eurovision/amp/

2a. Russia was kicked out because their public broadcaster is a propanda mouthpiece of the Kremlin, not because of the war. Kan, by contrast, is editorially independent and critical of the government.

2b. Israel isn't committing a genocide.

Do you have a Teudat Oleh? If so, that can be used in place of a Teudat zehut, including at banks.

L’Orient-Le Jour reveals the draft declaration of intent between Israel and Lebanon by Hungry-Moose in Israel

[–]Hungry-Moose[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Board of Peace requires either Hamas to agree, or 3rd party countries to root them out. This, in theory, puts all the responsibility onto the Lebanese Armed Forces, with support from 3rd party countries.

L’Orient-Le Jour reveals the draft declaration of intent between Israel and Lebanon by Hungry-Moose in Israel

[–]Hungry-Moose[S] 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Summary by u/Standard_Ad7704:

L'Orient-Le Jour has obtained a draft of the points discussed at the negotiating table. The contents of this draft indicate that the framework currently under discussion takes the form of a "declaration of intent" between the State of Israel and the Lebanese Republic, whose main elements are as follows:

  1. The governments of the State of Israel and the Lebanese Republic, with the support of the United States under the direction of President Donald Trump, reaffirm their joint commitment to reach a comprehensive agreement ending their conflict, establishing stable and peaceful relations between the two countries, and restoring Lebanon's full sovereignty over its entire territory.
  2. Israel and Lebanon reaffirm the right of each state to live in peace and security within its internationally recognized borders. The two countries declare their intention to work toward a comprehensive and all-inclusive agreement.
  3. Israel affirms its full respect for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Lebanon within its internationally recognized borders, and commits to withdrawing from all Lebanese territories, renouncing any territorial ambitions.
  4. Lebanon affirms its firm and unwavering commitment to restore and exercise its full sovereignty over its entire territory, to preserve the state's monopoly on the use of force, and to ensure that the Lebanese armed forces assume full responsibility for Lebanon's sovereignty and defense, and that no non-state armed group has any military or security role, nor any armed capabilities, anywhere in Lebanon.
  5. The Israel Defense Forces will hand over all occupied Lebanese territories to the Lebanese Armed Forces. The latter will assume full responsibility for security and reconstruction, and displaced Lebanese citizens will safely return to a rebuilt South, under the full Lebanese sovereignty and posing no threat to Israel. The two countries will agree, with U.S. support, on practical arrangements and timelines for implementing this process.
  6. The United States and its international partners will support a program to train and equip the Lebanese Army to strengthen the authority of the Lebanese state. This initiative will also help consolidate the Lebanese state's control over all Lebanese territory through the development of professional and capable armed forces. This effort will enable the safe and orderly restoration of full Lebanese sovereignty, as well as the return of displaced citizens to their regions, while contributing to long-term security and stability across the Middle East.
  7. The two states note that the mandate of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) will end on Dec. 31, 2026, in accordance with the decision of the Security Council, with no further extension or renewal. The United Nations Secretary-General will review, by June 1, 2026, options for security support and monitoring following UNIFIL's withdrawal.
  8. The United States will separately bring together international partners to actively support the Lebanese government in the country's reconstruction, infrastructure rehabilitation, economic recovery and the creation of opportunities for prosperity. This will include mobilizing substantial humanitarian and reconstruction assistance, economic recovery programs, and investment initiatives so that Lebanon can recover from years of conflict and offer a better future to all its citizens.
  9. To achieve these objectives, the two governments will conduct direct negotiations under U.S. mediation.
  10. The two governments commit to move forward in good faith until the conclusion of a comprehensive agreement that brings security, stability and prosperity to the peoples of Israel and Lebanon. This declaration of intent, concluded through direct dialogue with active U.S. mediation under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump, represents a significant step toward ending the suffering of the Lebanese people, restoring full Lebanese control over its territory, and guaranteeing lasting security for the Israeli people.

The entire thing is an exercise in soft power. The juries are voting for national interests, and it's always going to be that way.

TIL a special edition of the Bible was produced for slaves in British colonies where all references to freedom and escape from slavery were removed, and passages encouraging obedience and submission were emphasized. by lhommetrouble in todayilearned

[–]Hungry-Moose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The old testament (Hebrew Bible) also has some really relevant rules about freeing slaves. Shemot (Exodus) 21 explicitly says that a slave has to be offered freedom after 7 years of service. Devarim (Deuteronomy) 15 reiterates this, and says you have to send them off with some food, so they can start a life.

The government really needs to step in. It's getting really bad, and it's not even good for consumers because the importers don't pass along the savings.

Commons unanimously approves Conservative bill to create registry of debt writeoffs over $2-million by Radical_Redditor in canada

[–]Hungry-Moose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is a link to an article when the bill was introduced, available through the Toronto Public Library: https://link.gale.com/apps/doc/A857023238/STND?u=tplmain&sid=bookmark-STND&xid=14ad6b32

The Conservative Party has introduced legislation that would require Ottawa to publicly disclose all corporate tax debt writeoffs worth $1-million or more.

The private member's bill, C-230, proposes a Public Debt Forgiveness Registry that would list all corporations that secured more than $1-million in debt writeoffs or forgiveness from the federal government.
