You know, you’re right. It doesn’t matter how words are used, only the etymology matters.
That’s why it’s ok to refer to black people as negros. After all, “negro” is the Spanish word for “black”, so “negros” just means “blacks”. And the n-word is just an English version of negro after all.
Yes, but the term antisemetic was coined by - well - antisemetic Germans who wanted a more scientifc term for “Jew hate” explicitly.
It doesn’t matter that Arabs are semetic, the history of the term solely refers to hating Jews.
He’s not wrong though.
But wait… wasn’t he silent during the Holocaust as well? Oh no… Ben Gvir is antisemitic :(
Because parties which gain a certain percentage of the vote (I think 0.5 - 1%, depending on the state) receive money to reduce their dependency on private sponsors.
It’s not like China’s has done anything more than public statements either though. China is one of Israel’s biggest trading partners after all.
There are three target groups of migrants, he explains, who should be extradited from the country – or, as he puts it, “foreigners” who should undergo “reversed settlement”. They are: asylum seekers, non-Germans with residency rights, and “non-assimilated” German citizens. It is the latter that, in his view, would pose the biggest “challenge”.
Silke Schröder, a property developer and board member of the right-leaning Verein Deutsche Sprache (German Language Association), wonders how re-migration would work in practice. Surely if a person has the “appropriate” passport it would be ” impossible”, wouldn’t it? For Sellner, this is just a detail. A “high level of pressure” will be exerted on people to adapt, he says, via “customised laws”. Re-migration won’t happen overnight; it is “a project that will take decades”.
The masterplan even includes a destination to “move people to”, a so-called “model state” in North Africa, that would apparently provide space for up to two million people. There would even be educational and sport offers there. And anyone who lobbies on behalf of refugees could join them there, Sellner added.
According to Sellner, the problem is “not just that foreigners live here. They also vote here.” “Ethnic voting” means that immigrants are likely to vote for “immigration-friendly” parties.
Israel has been bombing Iranian targets outside of Iran for a while though. It’s largely the reason they try to keep positive relations with Russia - to be able to continue bombing Russia aligned nations: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/23/us/politics/pegasus-israel-ukraine-russia.html
It’s “just” a continuation of the Israel-Iran proxy war which has been going on for some time. I don’t think this is a meaningful, if any escalation.
Same applies to Hamas. Why would they want peace when the leadership can live in luxury and remain in permanent control? If it means forcing every Palestinian to be a martyr, that’s just the price they’re willing to pay.
Hamas and Netanyahu’s government very much have a mutually beneficial relationship.
Yes, if you slam your doors every day at 3am you will be fined. Is there anything wrong with that?
Doubt it, if the US wanted him dead, he’d be dead already. After all, even Russia can kill people, usually spies, all the time in Britain and other Western countries without major consequences, although I guess Assange might be a little too prominent for this to work well.
Similar to Navalny, he’ll be made an example of by spending the rest of his life in prison, maybe a supermax if they’re feeling particularly cruel. The US doesn’t want to turn him into (more of) a martyr.
In Germany:
When using vehicles, unnecessary noise and avoidable exhaust pollution are prohibited. In particular, it is prohibited to run vehicle engines unnecessarily and to close vehicle doors excessively loudly. Unnecessary driving to and fro within built-up areas is prohibited if it causes a nuisance to others.
§30 (1), StVO
Germany implemented this law in a way which allows stores to post the recommended retail price instead.
It’s a fucking shitshow, the RRP is always set way too high and there are “30% sales” all the time now.
smh, you didn’t even use lowerCamelCase
Hm, maybe you happen to be shortsighted. Don’t worry, Markdown can help with that:
I recommend glasses though
Sure, it would’ve just killed a few more million soldiers and civilians at minimum, who cares about lives anyways.
Nobody needs
over 400,000 jeeps and trucks; 12,000 armored vehicles (including 7,000 tanks, about 1,386[56] of which were M3 Lees and 4,102 M4 Shermans);[57] 11,400 aircraft (of which 4,719 were Bell P-39 Airacobras, 3,414 were Douglas A-20 Havocs and 2,397 were Bell P-63 Kingcobras)[58] and 1.75 million tons of food.[59]
in a war.
Also you failed to address the point: Was lend lease immoral because it “prolonged” the war?
In WW2 the US shouldn’t have sent any aid to the Soviets because this just lengthened the war, they should’ve pushed both sides towards a peace treaty
I’ll give you that, racism against brown muslims was the reason they were elected.
But this is not the first time a party was elected because of racism.
No one is winning elections campaigning on kicking out Slavs. But parties have been compaigning against them. Take a look at how media was representing “Russian-Germans” in the early 90’s. Spoiler: just the usual. “They’re stealing social securities from families, getting everything handed to them…”.
Or how populist media has portrayed Greeks after the financial crisis:
Sell your islands, bankrupt Greeks!
This is how Greeks are wasting [our] beautiful euros
You won’t get anything from us!
Not a single drop of racism to be seen in here, nope.
Don’t get me wrong, anti-Muslim and anti-brown racism is rampant in Europe.
But that’s only a subset of European racism, racist Europeans despise any and all refugees, regardless of skin color because they despise amy culture different from their own. Perhaps for the first two months of the Russian war of aggression they pretended otherwise. Afterwards however, the same. Identical. Populist. Talking points. Were used as in 2015.
even at the expanse of local population
I suggest not parroting far right propaganda, thank you very much.
Also, perhaps don’t apply fascist Poland, Hungary or Italy’s behavior on the entire EU, there are many millions of Syrian, Iraqi and Afghani refugees in the EU.
Also, European racism is far more complex than white = good, brown = bad, like in the US.
Nazis wanted to eradicate “white” Jews, “white” Romani and “white” Slavic people because of their ““race””. Do you seriously believe current day Nazis love the idea of Ukrainian immigrants? Have you actually seen how racist Germans treat Eastern European immigrant workers from Poland or Romania?
How do you expect men to solve a problem made by a tiny fraction of people, mostly rich men but also rich women?
What I am saying is:
The meaning of words is defined by how they’re used. Antisemitic has never been used to refer to anything but hating Jews akin to how the n-word has been used as an insult instead of a neutral descriptor.
You cannot use the n-word as a neutral descriptor, nor can you use the term antisemitism to describe hatred of non-Jewish ethnicities.
