The Real timschochet

Zionism is the belief that the Jewish people deserve a national home for themselves, and that home is the State of Israel. Zionism does not seek to relocate the Palestinian people, or any other people. It’s not fascist. It does not deny the rights of any other people, or the right of Palestinians to establish their own state. Zionism is a secular idea. It was originated by Theodor Herzl, a secular Jew who did not practice religion. The State of Israel was founded by secular Jews, essentially atheists, who regarded Judaism as a nationality and not a religion. One can be pro-Zionist without supporting the current government of Israel. One can be anti-Zionist without being anti-Semitic.

You have now brought up this subject in several threads, none of which are related to the topic at all. Anti-semitism from pro-Palestinian types is not a new thing. It should be condemned when it occurs. It has no bearing on this topic, or on Trump’s conviction, or on the race between Biden and Trump.

Sounds like the Trump immunity decision will be released tomorrow. Should be interesting

Yes

Also this is a shameful interpretation by you.

Which makes it even worse, doesn’t it? Teen suicides as a result of bigotry towards transgenders are all too common.

That’s been our history from the beginning. And we haven’t collapsed yet.

1. I’ve addressed Chicago violence elsewhere. It has nothing to do with this topic. 2. There is nothing funny about the violence and bigotry that transgenders face in this country. 3. Your own ignorance and bigotry contributes to this sad situation.

DeSantis would have made a terrible President just as he has been the worst governor of Florida in modern American history. However he would not have been a threat to our democratic institutions, so he is infinitely preferable to Trump. And agree he would be way ahead of Biden right now.

My logic is this: it is not safe in this country to be a transgender person. Too much ignorance, too much bigotry, too much violence against them, especially in rural areas (and yes @Fireballer that includes Oklahoma.) San Francisco is responding to that by declaring “At least here we will do our best to try and love you, accept you, and keep you safe.” Good for them. And the hell with anyone who finds issue with this.

53% isn’t a toss up. It’s close but it’s an edge for Biden. And I’m not ignoring anything. I post good stuff for Biden and bad stuff for Biden. Are you expecting me to post everything? Personally I still don’t feel good about this race. I have no clue how it will go but Trump is doing way too well to make any Biden supporter feel confident. Still, currently, the trends are moving in the right direction. Hopefully that will continue.

Not by me.

I wish I hadn’t been correct about that. But look what happened to Nex Benedict: https://www.advocate.com/news/transgender-student-death-raichik-walters#toggle-gdpr

Your anecdote doesn’t change the statistics. Scroll up and read them.

No. Most of the violence comes from heterosexuals: family members, acquaintances, high school students. Mainly ignorant people who are taught that transssexualism is sick and perverted, against “nature” and “God’s law”, and feel justified in their cruelty.

I wish it were fake news: https://vawnet.org/sc/serving-trans-and-non-binary-survivors-domestic-and-sexual-violence/violence-against-trans-and

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2024-election-forecast/ OK I did. Now looking favorable for Biden.

It’s good news but it shouldn’t be necessary. The fact that these poor people have to fear being harassed, abused, beaten up anywhere in this country should be unacceptable to all Americans.

I am in contempt of this Congress too. We all should be.

Hey thanks buddy!

Zionists

Well then it’s a good thing Mrs. Alito isn’t there.

I don’t see any mention of ethnic cleansing or genocide.

Except that the vast majority of Israeli land was purchased legally by the Yishuv (Jewish Agency). Unlike, as a contrast, the land that comprises most of the United States.
