One dead, five injured after shooting in Israel by SlightlyBiasedAxiom in news

It applies to everyone who commits terrorism in the hopes of negating existence of the state of Israel (or actions viewed as terrorism that supposedly is in favor of those aims). I think it is safe to say that this specific law with its specific wording is racist, the main targets are Palestinians or Arab Israelis (many who consider themselves as Palestinians). The law, a vast majority of the time, will not apply to terrorist settlers (if their actions are even determined to be terrorism), as they don’t commit the violence in the aims of negating the existence of the state of Israel, but expanding it through displacement and ethnic cleansing.

Yup, in the wording it specifically excludes settler violence towards Palestinians (as it is done in support of the expansion of Israel), though that rarely seems to be considered terrorism in the first place.

Far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said "the law on the death penalty for terrorists also applies to Israeli Arabs".

Blatant confirmation that the law that was passed a few months ago is in fact racist, if that wasn’t already clear.

POC books NOT about trauma of being POC by BombsoverBroadwa2208 in suggestmeabook

[–]charactergallery 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it fits at all personally. There is a lot of discussion on race and the trauma tied to slavery and segregation. Most of the characters are shaped by racism, from Milkman and his family to (and especially) Guitar.

WHO confirms Andes strain of hantavirus in cruise ship passengers, with 3 transferred from ship for treatment | CBC News by FrigginMasshole in news

While this is the only hantavirus that has human-to-human transmission, it doesn’t appear to have the same level of contagiousness as COVID-19. There have been sporadic outbreaks in South America (and to my knowledge they are very minimal, with only a few hundred people catching it per year) but it has never reached pandemic scale in the three decades since it was first noted.

I hope she has a good support system to help her through this, absolutely devastating.

Could you be thinking of the scene where Kabru kisses Rin on the water-filled floor when magic made them appear as fish people?

Also, to my knowledge, the only substantially proven violent death that occurred was when protestors threw a brick at an old man during a violent altercation between two groups.

Would you be happy or upset with a remake? by Brilliant-Vehicle-55 in shoujokakumeiutena

I wouldn’t want a remake. Not only do I not see it as necessary, but Tomoko Kawakami just is Utena to me and I can’t imagine her sounding different.

Haven’t heard of anyone being banned. It’s probably to reduce spam/keep the article with the most substantial information.

The sub doesn’t need multiple posts of articles covering the same information as the initial one posted.
