  • That’s a fair question.

    In consideration, take the Jim Crow laws from the USA. These laws enforced racial segregation and allowed for abject racism and abhorrent conditions/treatment of black people. In short, they supported racism.

    Now one could say “but the people were the ones to carry it out” which sure, but then we might as well start asking ourselves how much government really matters and other philosophical questions. I don’t think the people are innocent, but to focus on your question, that’s an example of how political policy and laws can support things. The laws enable the legal environment, the people then carry it out.



















  • I understand that you’re trying to be helpful, but you’re jewplaining my culture to me. Please stop.

    I’m fully aware that zionism does not equal judaism .

    I’m also aware of some of the more problematic parts of the bill, but none of it directly ties Judaism to Zionism. The closest we get is this section

    “Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g. by claiming that the existence of the State of Israel is a racist endeavor”

    but even that at the moment is a stretch. The right to self-determination and sovereignty are rights respected by most every country and the UN. What I see as problematic would be potential future law that would define the boundaries of the State of Israel to include Palestine.

    Mind helping me see your perspective on what makes this an L?

    Edit: I just realized that my attempt to shorthand does not equal got rekt.

    Hopefully you can forgive the typo and we can still discuss
