Three excellent treatments of the subject (Hebrew). R. Melamed's treatment is crystal clear and well-organized. ph.yhb.org.il/.../%D7%98-%D7…

Rav Tzuriel makes some very important points: zomet.org.il/?CategoryID=26…

Rav Asher Weiss cites a number of authorities that haven't been mentioned thus far who are lenient in particular circumstances.

I think that's it for now.
Sorry I had to block a couple of people when they crossed the line from making a point to trolling.
Okay, one more: An excellent, nuanced pro-life treatment (more about policy than psak) by @ShlomoBrody

Everyone ready for a rant about Michael Chabon and his @HUCJIR commencement speech/ @tabletmag article? Here it comes.../1
Chabon's reduction of diversity and complexity (and more synonyms) to exogamy reflects his shallowness. Shtup someone of a different color, and you're "diverse". Endogamy is tantamount to redlining. Heterogeneity is no longer a metaphor; it's literally all about genetics.
"Monocultural places—one language, one religion, one haplotype." We already covered the haplotype. Regarding language, again, on what planet are Jews monocultural? Does Chabon know any Jewish culture outside of his limited Yiddish vocab and his missions to Hebron? /3

I’m sure you heard about the citizen whose scooter was taken yesterday under the guise that he broke curfew? Well, the man went back to claim his bike after proving his innocence, but the head of Anti Robbery there made it clear it was business as usual & Demanded N20k.
Even when we called to intervene asking what the money was for, they got angry and increased the ransom threatening to charge the victim for Cultism & Robbery. They both claim today that nothing goes for free in their station. They rob both old & young with impunity. 😞

Last night I promised a thread about #abortion before Roe v Wade legalized it nationally. Until the mid-1800s, common law allowed abortion until "quickening", when fetal movement can be felt. Toxic abortion remedies & doctors competing w midwives led to… 1/
laws outlawing abortion except where pregnancy was likely to be fatal spreading across the country. Bottled abortion remedies could be and were fatal, and doctors, almost all white and male, didn't want midwives competing with them for pregnancy care. 2/
"In the late 1920s some 15,000 women a year died from [illegal] abortions…In 1971, the year after decriminalization, the maternal-mortality rate in New York State dropped 45%." 3/

On m’a envoyé hier un lien vers des ressources pédagogiques à propos de la controverse autour d’#Alésia. Oui, nous allons évoquer un épisode important pour notre mère patrie, la victoire d’Allésia. ⬇️ #thread

2 mots de contexte : j’ignore qui est l’auteur du document dont on va parler et mon idée n’est pas le moins du monde de dénigrer les ressources du @reseau_canope. Qui est un très bel et très précieux outil (d’habitude).
Les enseignants connaissent bien le réseau Canopé / ex-CNDP. Cet organisme de @EducationFrance a pour principale mission de produire et diffuser des ressources pédagogiques à destination des profs (latin/histoire, ici).

Je vais raconter dans ce fil comment se passent les dernières minutes de vote et le dépouillement à l'école Cervantes #Référendum #Catalunya
Dès que quelqu'un arrive pour voter, haie d'honneur et cris de "un votant". Et des applaudissements !
La président du @parlament_cat @ForcadellCarme est venue au bureau de vote. Elle a salué tout les scrutateurs

Allez, petit thread inspiré par ça, tellement c'est plein de banalités, encore trop répandues. #Réalisme
Commençons par "Le réalisme est un courant de pensée politique qui affirme que les considérations idéologiques ou morales ne doivent pas...
intervenir dans l'action diplomatique." C'est historiquement faux. Raymond Aron a un long développement sur l'importance de la morale.
