This Skit Will Be Forever Be Funny

The US (and Netanyahu) are the “real bad guys” for starting the war and now blockading after their own threats to Iran. That’s one coherent perspective—shared by Iranian officials, much of the Global South, progressive/Dem critics, and outlets like Al Jazeera: the strikes were unprovoked aggression (assassinating a head of state during nuclear talks), the war was escalatory regime-change theater, and the blockade is hypocritical flip-flopping that spikes global oil prices and hurts everyone

@CTVMontreal That was an AI generated answer, however the main idea is that; the criminal should be charged and sentenced according to the crime committed, then the immigration system can make its decisions based on the overall actual character of the applicant.

Cases like this fuel debates about whether the system prioritizes offender outcomes over victim and public safety, particularly amid high immigration levels and rising concerns over crime by non-citizens. The judge in the Castillo matter appears to have pushed back against that by refusing to go below what he saw as the fit range. There’s a principle that criminal liability should be status-blind: convict and sentence based on the crime and its harm, then let immigration authorities handle deportation separately on the merits (including any humanitarian appeals where available). Softening the sentence itself to influence immigration outcomes risks creating the very parallel system the judge criticized. Reforming the interplay between the Criminal Code and IRPA — such as removing immigration status as a sentencing factor or tightening the deportation triggers — is a recurring policy discussion precisely because of fairness concerns like the ones you raised.

x.com/voiceofrabbis/… An anti-Zionist Jewish account with over 300k followers, posted footage showing rubble, smoke, excavators, and men in traditional Jewish attire examining damaged Hebrew books and scrolls at the site of Tehran's Rafi-Nia Synagogue.@voiceofrabbis Iranian media including Mehr and Shargh report the synagogue was completely destroyed early on April 7, 2026, after a US-Israeli strike hit an adjacent residential building during broader attacks on Iran. The post uses the incident to assert that Israel does not represent Jews or Judaism, contrasting the destruction of a place of worship with traditional Jewish teachings.

ctvnews.ca/montreal/artic… “Praying in front of the Montreal cathedral, which was not a smart thing to do, certainly had an impact. The Bedford incident certainly had an impact. But the other thing is, the government also saw these as opportunities to be able to advance its own agenda and try to divide Quebecers,” said CEO Stephen Brown in an interview. The CEO of the National Council of Canadian Muslims, Stephen Brown, says he is considering legal options after Quebec passed a ban on public prayer. “Yes, you saw some people saying they’re very uncomfortable with prayers in front of the Notre-Dame Cathedral. However, these are people that are protesting, and ostensibly they have a permit to protest, and if they don’t have a permit to protest, well, then fine them,” he added.

@drowbb @StratCann …that’s true, but only because they don’t want to make their own letting the experts do that, or maybe they prefer to subsidize govt.

cbc.ca/news/canada/mo… That really sucks ......“I would support special agreements between the prosecution and the defence only when restitution to victims is concrete and secured, not just a promise of future payment. Otherwise, sentencing should emphasize accountability for the harm done, while also aiming to rehabilitate offenders and help prevent repeat offences.”

@1stCik64921 @voiceofrabbis Just confused in trying to understand what is true, moving along…..

@guygrolimond @voiceofrabbis You deny the existence of the spoken Torah? 🤡 There's nothing fake about what I posted once again cementing into history the fact that you are liars and deceivers!

This is one of the ways the IHRA definition of antisemitism harms Jews. It renders statistics like this essentially meaningless. In the UK, hate speech can be a criminal offense. So if someone sprays political graffiti on a wall, that’s a crime. If it targets Jews, it can be charged as a hate crime. But here’s the problem: If the graffiti is about Israel—say it “delegitimizes Israel”—but says nothing about Jews, IHRA can be used to argue that it is antisemitic. It can thus be recorded or reported as a “hate incident” or even a “hate crime.” However, because IHRA is not legally binding, law enforcement still has to decide whether there was actual hostility toward Jews. If they conclude it was political speech about a state—not about Jews—they won’t prosecute it as a hate crime. So what do you get? A “hate crime” on paper that is not prosecuted as a hate crime in law. That inflates the number of recorded antisemitic hate incidents while not increasing prosecutions—making it look like antisemitic crimes are being ignored or under-prosecuted compared to other groups. It is important to know whether hate crimes against Jews are being prosecuted. But because UK accepted IHRA, we no longer are able to know that with data such as this—because IHRA distorts the comparison. And that harms Jews. Zionists are unable to see this. They are indoctrinated to think that if something supports Zionism it is automatically good for Jews. (Re-posted from Rabbi @yaakov_shapiro)

@voiceofrabbis IHRA is not legally recognized in the UK so media is responsible to report honestly

Jesus, as a devout Jew, identified the heart of the Torah as two inseparable commandments — total love for God (Deut 6) and love of neighbor as self (Lev 19) — which together encapsulate/summarize/sustain the whole of Jewish Law and ethics. Some later Jewish teachers (e.g., Rabbi Akiva in the 2nd century) also called "love your neighbor as yourself" a "great principle of the Torah," showing this wasn't a uniquely Christian innovation but part of broader Jewish interpretive tradition. Jesus' contribution was to pair it explicitly and prominently with the Shema as the dual foundation, and — especially in parables like the Good Samaritan (Luke 10) — to dramatically expand who counts as "neighbor" beyond fellow Israelites (a point already debated in his time). In short: Yes, he was a "good Jew" who radically prioritized love as the essence and fulfillment of the Law — but he framed it as two intertwined commandments rather than reducing it strictly to one.
