Not that it's a good thing, not defending it just clarifying, last time I read an article about it they were talking about foreign students who protest while here on a visa.

Damn I was kinda hoping for a way out

Why one has to repeal out of date laws.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Because the people who write laws aren't good at it

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Right. Bad laws should be repealed.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Indeed.

They're bad at that too apparently

Who the hell knew this law was still in action? Also, laws can only be struck down in court when it's being applied to someone and it's found unconstutional. That's when an org like the ACLU steps in for the defendant.

struck down in court

I wouldn't bet my life on it.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Now? No, not really. A few years ago, it would have.

This is just the process for how laws are repealed in the US. There needs to be a defendant that law is being applied to first, then it needs a judge to... well, judge the case and law. It's why it's illegal to wear blue jeans down Noble Street in Anniston, Alabama. No one's been arrested for it, so no one can challenge it.

In Israel there is a lot of economic inequality between Semitic Jews and white Jews (Ashkenazim). The semitic Jews are called Mizrahim by Israel, it's a political term that didn't exist before the Nakba.

There were Jews in Palestine before the invasion, and they have not been treated as equals to the coloniser Jews. Jew Vs Arab is not the full story of Israel's racism. Israel is fundamentally antisemitic, whether the semites in question are Jews or Muslims.
