It depends on the state. In CA, both are protected terms. In FL, any J.D. is a lawyer.

I am begging white women to stop this. I’ve experienced more racism in my 63 years from white women than from white men. Sexism exists. Racism exists. WOC and esp Black women, deal with both, and from our same gender. Work on that vs “oh yeah, but”-ing when the discussion is about race.

Himmler had an SS group whose entire mission was to 'prove' that civilization began in Aryan Scandinavia. This is a common project among imperialists.

Reform Marriage in Israel: Progress and Challenges
In Israel, marriage and divorce are under the jurisdiction of the officially sanctioned Orthodox chief rabbinate and its representatives. Where does this policy leave Reform Jews?

From what I read, non-Ortho Jews can't marry in Israel. But Israel recognizes our marriages from elsewhere.

You realize that every finding of 'apartheid' applies specifically to the West Bank and Gaza ... ... which aren't part of Israel at all? It's like saying the US denies equal rights to Canadians.

Not an apartheid state. I'm a Reform Jew. I could move to Israel, but I couldn't marry *in Israel*. Only Orthodox Jews can marry *in Israel* because marriage licenses are only granted by the Orthodox Rabbinate. But Israel *does* recognize my lesbian marriage from the US.

In case you're curious, he says Judea never existed - it was the Ottoman Empire - and Solomon's Temple was really the Hagia Sofia. Ancient Egypt, Persia, Greece, Rome, China, India, etc. ... all myths made up by the Romanovs and Jews, to discredit Russia. 🙄😵‍💫

Not to mention cholera and other filth-borne diseases. For most of human history, most parents buried most of their children. Seeing even half of children survive to adulthood is a modern luxury.

Here are the NY statutes that govern filing to run for political office. These are state law. They offer NO mechanism for a party to remove any candidate from the ballot. In some states, local party groups can endorse primary candidates. But they cannot prohibit them. You're simply wrong.

The candidate chooses the party primary they want. They do not need the party's permission or approval. The parties don't screen primary candidates. That's what primary elections are about. Your complaint is with the voters. I was a state Dem vice chair. We don't have the power you imagine.

Our party has rules. There is NO procedure for excluding candidates who get enough signatures to qualify for the primary ballot. The ONLY solution is to defeat DSA candidates in the Democratic primaries. It's down to the voters. Not party bosses.

Anti-Israeli racism is the central core of antizionism. Quite simply, it is a hatred of Israeli national identity, culture, and indigeneity to the Land of Israel. On this basis, Israelis emanate outward as “Zionists,” forming a constructed collective, the “Zionists,” onto which accusations about

That last sentence is simply not possible. We have a primary system, not a "You can't run in our party" system.

It is wildly bizarre that some (many?) consider the phrase "river to the sea" "antisemitic" when Israel's policy of apathy permits settlers to occupy (colonize), exploit, and steal from Palestinian land under Oslo. The ironic projection is like crying "reverse racism."

The ruling follows a letter issued a week earlier by six rabbis from the Gush Etzion settlement, who said harvesting olives from Palestinian-owned groves constitutes theft under Jewish law

I don't think any of these discussions is made in good faith. Everyone is trying to score political points, from Talarico to Obama to Netanyahu and his online deflectors here. We're not allowed to ask hard questions about Israeli policy or whether any peace is possible. Just pick a side and cheer.
