School's speech pathologist fired for refusing to sign pro-Israel pledge

[Paladin3]

The religious republican right has long felt that they are the only ones that should be allowed to boycott anything, so this news scans I guess. No other group approves of using them so much, yet shits themselves when they are on the receiving end.

Snowflakes, trying to curb the freedom and speech of others. It's disgusting, and just one more reason why this country needs to rid itself of these fools.

Very few Americans value the free speech rights of those they disagree with. And that's not just a conservative phenomenon, though they have made a bit of an art out of it.

i do find it strange that in order to get a us government job in the majority of states that you need to basically swear loyalty to another country (anti-bds )

/you can criticize your own country but don't you fucking dare do that to israel

I would say not valuing a conservative’s free speech statement of 2+2 =88 is not the same a conservative not valuing a liberal’s free speech statement of vaccines saves lives. That is the difference. If backed by fact, science and reason, free speech is more valued than the free speech of feeling and delusion.

How are they definining "boycott"? What if you just don't happen to consume anything produced by Israel? Does this mean it will be compulsory to consume at least one such product?

In GQP America, surely that country would be Russia, not Israel!

from Haaretz: https://archive.is/20230613183308/h...-dea7-adff-f7fb0f720000#selection-914.0-914.1

Some 30 years have passed since the wave of mass immigration that brought over a million people to Israel as the Soviet Union disintegrated. From Israel’s foundation in 1948 to the end of 2020, 3.3 million people made aliyah to Israel, about 44 percent of them came after 1990. Almost all of these originated in what had been the Soviet Union.

We keep picking on conservatives and other countries will open their doors to them too. It's not good for a country to be mean to people.

Conservatives rile up the masses to think that (for example) LGBTQ are paedophiles, violence against LGBTQ goes way up, all part of a culture that they advocate of those who have comfort, power and influence and those that it ought to be used against.

People like us call them out for that.

You think we should stop "being mean" to conservatives.

Either resist the boot or get on with licking it.

I think those who act out their delusional beliefs have crossed a line that demands they be removed from society mercilessly and without compromise for no other reason than that justice demands it. That should be done with utter compassion for the helpless and the innocent simply as a matter of duty.. No anger, rage vengeance, etc. should have any part of it. Such people should be stopped and separated so they can no longer do harm in the least force possible right up to instant execution if their threat can’t be met in any other way.

It’t just pure logic. Why would people need to huff and puff and work themselves into a froth and lather. It’s all out of hatred of others for past injustice that was never justly ended, distrust of a system that is too bound up by emotional irrationality and conformity to do anything rationally.

What do you do if someone appears to be about to take your life for some insane reason in their head and you can shoot them first. You just shoot them and forget about it. Are you going to work up a rage before you pull the trigger? Self preservation has been driving evolution for billions of years. It’s a fundamental feature of life including the life of humans.

I agree with some of what you're saying here, but there's very little connection to your response and what I responded to.

IMO your response also advocates treating the symptom rather than the cause (the GQP).

The connection would be in the details on how they are called out. Are you working to provide a dialog that night help then improve in self understanding or trying to cure the disease caused by being humiliated when they were children by calling them out as deserving of what made them psychos in the first place, more humiliation.

At the point a sick season acts out of that sickness with malicious intent to harm, the cause is no longer relevant. All duty then switches to protecting their intended victim.

Does this answer your concerns?

They rile up masses with fake pedo claims while electing REAL pedophiles

Matt Gaetz
Roy Moore

I can't figure out how they get away with it

You accuse your opponents of the very things you yourself are doing.
