Ah, the argument used to justify fictitious fears. Did Christian groups having that right for a century lead to Canonical Law? Did Jews using it make us all follow the Torah?
In the interests of being fully open, ultra-orthodox Jews limit women's rights, though not nearly as severely as Muslims in many Islamic countries. And rabbinical courts even in North America are the only ones that can grant a full Jewish divorce, without which a Jewish woman who has only a civil divorce cannot get remarried in a Conservative or Orthodox ceremony, whether in a synagogue or some other venue..

Thankfully the percentage of ultra-orthodox Jews is very low as compared to the rest of the Jewish population, though greater in Israel than in most other countries. And no Jews wish to impose their religious customs and religious laws on any non-Jews.

It's also interesting that you may see some ultra-orthodox Jews standing in solidarity with anti-Zionists. But the primary reason for that is they feel the Jewish Messiah won't come as long as there are Jews living in Israel, so that motivation is generally selfish.

To tell the truth I have nothing in common with ultra-orthodox Jews, and consider the ultra-religious of any religion to be responsible for much more harm in the world than good, since the beginning of recorded history.

Most ultra-orthodox Jews won't consider me as even being Jewish, as despite my genetics I am not at all observant.

However I am still a Jew in my heart, and must express my condemnation for all antisemitic acts, regardless of their origin.

Where is the reference to race in saying "Khalistanis are terrorists" and "Hamas are terrorists". And acts? Does 1400 dead Israeli civilians mean nothing to you? Does 288 dead Canadians mean nothing to you?

They are violent factions that should be hated for their violence and terrorism. You said you hated terrorists. So why can't you call out these terrorists based on their acts?
No point, man. It’s past Frankfooter's beddie-bye time. He'll reply in the morning... :geek:

What does my support for the Indian PM, have anything to do with what I said, and also India is not in any war with anyone similar to Israel so not sure what you are going on about bud.
You are in this thread talking about Israel/Hamas when your own country not only has a corrupt PM but very questionable policies and acts. Your post in this thread are clear you are pro-Israel.

Yet the same PM you support and glorifiy is not only corrupt but has done several things to highlight discrimination to different groups and not even hide it.

Here is evidence from a BBC article.

The August 2019 decision to rescind Indian-administered Kashmir’s special status did not follow constitutional procedure, and the Citizenship Amendment Act passed in December 2019 aided religious minorities from neighboring countries but excluded Muslims, although many sects face repression in Afghanistan and Pakistan".

Among other provisions, it allows the state to designate an individual as a terrorist without providing corroborating evidence. Some opposition politicians have also alleged that India’s premier investigative agencies, the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Directorate of Enforcement, are involved in settling political vendettas.

Modi faced withering criticism in the wake of violence both at home and abroad: The United States even denied him a visa. But he cast himself as a beleaguered outsider and portrayed Muslims in the state as a potential fifth column for Pakistan. In rallies and speeches, he insinuated that he alone could protect Gujarat residents from terrorist threats emanating from Pakistan and appealed to regional identity to build support. Jaffrelot shows how Modi expanded on a common populist trope during his time as chief minister, cultivating a plebeian image that emphasized his humble personal background, harping on his childhood experience selling tea at a railway station.

Please, Israel hasn’t had “international” goodwill since the 1967 war when they proved they won’t be pushed around. People like you hate it when Jews fight back
And trounce them.
He’s like the young guy in that video. He waves his arms, thinks rockets are great. Then cries hard when the consequences come.

Nope. Just trying to open the door to a seperate justice system. Can you imagine?
Sort of like every other private arbitration system in Canada?

They're all "separate justice systems".

Yeah but that is terrorist sympathizing. So hate on that guy. I would say the same about the guy with the Nazi flag, the guy with the confederate flag in the trucker convoy. They are just as dangerous - if not more dangerous, because in the west we are more likely to experience right wing extremism.

But there are plenty of Muslims in Canada who are peaceful and good citizens, who don't do that or support that for that matter. To call their entire culture(s) and religion a death cult, means you are saying that Islam is terrorism. That is Islamaphobia, Xenophobia and Racism all rolled into one
They all follow the same book though

I'm sure that Israel will use more of the $3.8 billion in US bombs and then ask for more, to kill more babies.
You finally had nothing left...just repeating yourself, dancing around questions you can't answer....
Funny how Gaza has shortage of water, power etc etc...but doesn't ran out of rockets to fire at Israel....and this is somehow Israel's fault...
