Belgium passed a law requiring those who do circumcisions to be certified licensed medical doctors,
1)
meaning in effect that medical doctors with little experience must be used over Jewish and Muslim experts with experience and who have been shown to d a better job.
2)
On the surface it looks like Belgium wants to regulate things for the health of its population, but in action it comes off as bigotry.
3)
Recently three Jews have been arrested for performing circumcisions for “intentional assault or premeditated bodily harm against minors” and the “unlawful practice of medicine.”
No Muslims have been arrested.
4)
Interesting in that the Jewish population of Belgium is maximum 46,000, and the Muslim population may be as high as 700,000,
But the Belgium authorities seem to want to enforce the law on Jews, only Jews, not Muslims.
5)
Only Jews have been arrested foir not using licensed physicians, but Muslims who also do not use licensed physicians for the procedure, and whose numbers are much mush higher by a factor of 15, have not been bothered."

1)
In 1776, there were three ethnic groups in the USA that 100% supported independence from England and that dreamed of a new country of freedom and equality that was the theme of the Declaration of Independence.

All other groups, English, Scots, Irish, German, French, were divided, with the wealthy upper class returning to England or moving to Canadian colonies.

I bet you think it was Netanyahu. But if that is your guess, you would be wrong.
1)
The first prime minister to suggest the need for judicial reform was very specific, criticizing how judges for the High Court were chosen as “anti-democratic,” and he emphasized the need to democratize the court system and end the ethnic biases that seem to affect it.

Those of us who were in Jerusalem on June 5, 1967, have a lot of vivid memories of fear, concern, exhilaration. All within a few days.
1)
Our little group of volunteers who came to face what Jews all over the world at that time considered the most serious threat to Jewish survival since the 1940’s, young people, ages 18–22, from the US, England, France, Italy,

Anyone will tell you, Arabs will tell you, the Roman Catholic Church will tell you, the core issue is Jerusalem.
1)
2000 years ago, the Romans defeated the Jews and renamed the city, and just like the Taliban or American leftists, they went about trying to erase all evidence of the people they defeated.
2)
They destroyed the Temple, erected a barracks and stable at one end of the Platform (now Al-Aqsa Mosque), and decided they had made their permanent mark, replacing the Jews, and

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "I find it interesting that Black activists in the USA are complaining that Republicans favoring an end to gerrymandering are racists and trying to prevent Black people from being represented.
Why?
1)
Because Republicans have a lot of Black candidates running for office in both majority-Black areas and majority-White areas, and doing well. Florida Congressman Byron Donalds won his seat in the district that is the most White in Florida, and
2)
he is running for governor and will be elected Florida governor.
When a Black woman with amazing qualifications ran for governor in Virginia, the Democrats attacked her, slandered her, and instead elected a White woman who has since proven to be a liar.
