Blacks=4.3% of the population. 20% of murderers Indigenous men=70-80% of murderers of Indigenous women That's a cultural problem. Toronto police has never routinely used dogs to maul black people , systemically . This black woman lies so much and she's an assistant professor teaching at UofT? No wonder our education system is fucked.
Robyn Maynard@policingblack

Missing from the convo about rising “hate” in Toronto is that we don’t count the routine police beatings, dog maulings, home raids, and killings of Black and Indigenous folks as “hate crimes” because that would require a reckoning with the nature of policing in this country.

@briebriejoy Everyone knows that Trump is a big mouth who says a lot of dumb things. He doesn't say that everyday. It's awful but it seems to be just mouthing off. The israel-haters on the other hand say it all day everyday year after year.

She doesn't care. She blocked me for asking a fairly mild question. I thought she was nice at first but she turned out to be a normal X poster. Can't stand disagreement.

Hannah Arendt wrote about that: They treat the Arabs, those still here, in a way that in itself would be enough to rally the whole world against Israel." And she added: “The death of human empathy is one of the earliest and most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism.” This hat fits you well, Helen Mirren.

Dog I do have a copy but that page didn't say it is there. So I would have a lot of looking to do with no guarantee that I wd find it. Unless you tell me what page it is one. It's not a significant issue but I like to quote real sources.

@NoDiegoNo22 @AlanRMacLeod Rafe, please don't use racist lingo with me even its common in songs. What-about-ism in this case was not to justify something stupid Israel is does. I just wondered if you condemn other countries for being worse or if you saved your concern for Israel alone. A fair question.

This person seemed normal. We were having a civil conversation but she insisted that she had the source of a quotation even tho she didn't. Finally she posted a non-proof, claimed it as proof and blocked me.

@KarenFactsLover @gonglei89 Toronto is still pretty good. Crime started exploding in the 80s which is quite a while ago now but for a long time the hoodlums were mainly shooting eachother at parties and funerals and chance meetings in the street or at the Eaton Centre so a few bystanders got hit too.

I remember during the most brutal COVID lockdown, people in Shanghai were screaming in terror. So no , Shanghai doesn't cut it for me...and not to mention you can't access the outside internet easily unless you buy a VPN. However, it is great to live in Shanghai temporarily if you're a foreigner with money. It is much cleaner and safer than Toronto.

Walked around some old haunts today and I’m now ready to call it. If Shanghai were representative of a whole country that country would not only be first world but at the front of the pack (haven’t been to Shenzhen yet but I’m sure SZ would give SH a run calm down SZ truthers).

@NoDiegoNo22 @AlanRMacLeod Hi Rafe. Israel still uses the Turkish marriage laws which is really crazy. So people go to Cyprus (1 hr by air) to get married & the marriages (gay or mixed religion) are recognized in Israel. Are any Arab or Muslim countries as good or better in this regard?

@ihtesham2005 If we knew charity wd really solve a problem most people wd contribute enough to solve it. But Egypt doubled its population in a few decades. This makes giving to charity something like pulling the kid from the water only to have him hop in again.

A philosophy professor in 1972 published a paper that, if you actually read it and accept the argument, proves that you and everyone you know is doing something evil every single day. His name is Peter Singer, and the paper is called Famine, Affluence, and Morality. It has been sitting in philosophy syllabi for over fifty years, and the strangest thing about it is not how radical the conclusion is. The strangest thing is that nobody has been able to find what is wrong with the argument. Here is the argument, and here is why it might change how you think about the next cup of coffee you buy. Singer starts with a distinction that sounds academic until you feel its full weight. There are two categories of morally good actions. The first is the obligatory. These are things you must do. You must not murder. You must not steal. If you see a child falling and you can catch them with almost no effort, you must catch them. Failing to do any of these things makes you a bad person. The second category is the supererogatory. These are things that are good to do but not required. Bringing coffee and pastries to an early meeting when no one asked you to. Rounding up your grocery bill to donate a dollar to charity at checkout. Nice things. Generous things. But if you do not do them, no one condemns you. Almost everyone in modern society places giving to famine relief in the second category. It is nice to donate. It is extra. It is charitable. If you do not do it, you are not a bad person. Singer says this is exactly wrong, and here is the thought experiment he uses to prove it. Imagine you are walking past a shallow pond and you see a small child drowning in it. You can easily wade in and pull the child out. The only cost is that your clothes will get muddy. You will be late to wherever you were going. Your shoes will be ruined. Nobody reading this thinks you are permitted to keep walking. If you kept walking and later said at a meeting that you let a child drown because you did not want to get your pants wet, everyone would consider you a monster. Not a flawed person. A monster. Singer says if you accept that intuition, you have already accepted the principle that drives his entire argument. If it is in our power to prevent something very bad from happening without sacrificing anything of comparable moral importance, we must morally do it. Now add the facts. Hunger, disease, preventable death. These are very bad things. Donating money to efficient relief organizations like Oxfam actually prevents these things. The luxuries we spend money on, a new car when the old one works, a new jacket when the old one is fine, a cappuccino on the way to work, are not of comparable moral importance to a child's life. The conclusion follows automatically. You must give that money away. Not should. Must. Every time you buy something you do not need, you are walking past the drowning child. Singer anticipates the two objections that will occur to you, and he dismantles both. The first is distance. The child in the pond is right in front of you. The child dying of famine is ten thousand miles away. Singer says proximity used to matter because distance used to prevent you from knowing and from helping. It does not anymore. You know about the suffering. Efficient organizations can convert your money into saved lives on the other side of the planet within days. The moral mathematics does not change because the child is farther away. The second is numbers. In the pond, you are the only person who can save the child. In the case of famine, millions of other people could also donate and do not. Singer says look at the pond again. If you saw the child drowning and noticed a dozen other people standing around watching, would their presence release you from your obligation? If you walked into the meeting and explained that the child drowned but other people were there too, would anyone accept that as an excuse? The answer is obvious. What matters is whether the child is saved. If other people are failing to act, that does not dilute your obligation. It concentrates it. This is where the paper becomes uncomfortable. Because if the argument works, and Singer thinks it does, then the implication is not that you should donate a little more. The implication is that you should give away everything you spend on luxuries, up to the point where giving more would cause you suffering roughly comparable to the suffering you are preventing. He calls this the strong version of the principle, and he thinks it is the correct one. Nobody lives like this. Singer himself comes closer than almost anyone, donating a significant portion of his income, but even he admits he does not reach the level his own argument demands. The common response to the paper is that it is too demanding. Singer's reply is blunt. The fact that you do not like a conclusion is not an argument against it. Morality might simply be much more demanding than we have been raised to believe, and our comfort with the current standard is a feature of the society we were trained inside, not evidence that the standard is correct. The uncomfortable thing about this paper is not that it is extreme. The uncomfortable thing is that every time you try to find the flaw in the argument, you find yourself rejecting a premise that, in any other context, you would accept without hesitation. You believe the child in the pond must be saved. You believe distance does not matter morally. You believe other people's failures do not excuse your own. You believe a cup of coffee is not worth a human life. And yet when these beliefs are lined up next to each other, they produce a conclusion that almost nobody is willing to live by. Singer has been making this argument for more than fifty years. Philosophers have written entire careers trying to find the crack in it. The cleverest responses exist, and they are worth reading. But sitting with the paper on its own terms, before anyone has told you how to dismiss it, is something closer to an experience than a reading. The hardest question the paper leaves you with is not whether Singer is right. The hardest question is why, if you suspect he might be, you are going to close this post and keep living exactly the way you were before.

@BarbaraRKay If he loses for her, which I hope he does, she will have another reason to hate Jews and then she can also justify her claims about Macron's wife by saying that her case was sabotaged by a Zionist.

People who want to dispense with the 'Old Testament' and revere the 'New' still have to explain why Jesus followed its laws, quoted its verses (even while dying on the cross) and belonged to its people. As a start.

@KarenFactsLover @grok @MarioNawfal A friend of mine was in the IDF in 1948. He told me that his unit was told by their officer not to molest a monument but some jerk in their outfit did and it attracted world media attention.

The IDF confirmed the photo of their soldier smashing a statue of Jesus in Lebanon is authentic So for all the comments who immediately flooded X claiming the photo is fake, maybe you should reflect on how biased you’ve become, instead of trying to understand WHY this event happened, you chose to deny it completely

My thoughts on the IDF soldier smashing the statue of Jesus in Lebanon Firstly, one soldier's action does not represent the entire army. Remember Abu Ghraib prison in 2004? Similar examples exist for each and every army However, this news came hours after Haaretz published a shocking report on atrocities commited by the IDF in Gaza, including soldiers pissing on blindfolded detainees, tying cables around their genitals, and killing unarmed civilians And last month, Netanyahu celebrated when charges were dropped against IDF soldiers captured on camera beating a Palestinian detainee (dragging him, stomping on him, breaking his ribs, puncturing a lung) and stabbing him in the buttocks with a sharp object Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the country, called these evil criminals that tortured a man in unspeakable ways, “heroic fighters” When reports of the Abu Ghraib torture came out, President Bush called the abuses “disgraceful” and said he was “deeply disgusted.” Notice the difference between both leaders? Among 1,260 complaints betweem 2017–2021 about Israeli soldiers harming Palestinians, only 11 led to indictments In Gaza, despite hundreds of abuse complaints and mass atrocities committed, there were only 3 indictments and 1 conviction. Israel as a country operates in a perpetual mindset of survival, and America's unconditional support has created a sense of impunity for their leaders. We are seeing this impunity among their armed forces Change starts at the top, but unfortunately in Israel today, the top is the problem.

@jepresume Auto, we don't believe something just because one person or group says it. We seek confirmation beyond someone's say so. There is proof that Israel asked Jordan to stay out of the war in 1967.
