How is the boycott going?

[Beelzebub]

Thanks for sharing Lipush.

 

[Lipush]

Sure thing.

 

[Hossfly]

Israel is a theocracy since everyone who criticizes israel is anti-semitic.

Separate temple and state. Goodbye.

and somehow that makes sense to you?

No, sarcasm doesn't translate well. Not because anything I said is true, but because of the black and white nature with which using labels is used against those who oppose Israeli policy. Israel has religious courts in addition to others and religion is a determinate in its central legitimacy, in marriage, in immigration, in status: therefore it is fair to call it a theocracy compared to a secular state like the US or France. People who oppose Israel often are disdainful of its ethno-religious nationalist behavior, therefore they are anti-semitic. The sky is black, not blue.

That's Haaretz' wishful thinking.

I lack toilet paper

That's probably as good a use as any.

Haaretz Admits its Politicized Agenda | HonestReporting

 

[Lipush]

Good catch!

 

[Beelzebub]

Haaretz does sterling service for Israel, portraying it internationally as having a significant humanitarian demographic, rather that the ADL and AIPAC loyal publications which make it seem just a little right of Ghengis Khan.

But if Israel want it to go to the wall, then ok. Who would that hurt?

And if you question many Israelis living here, they say that consider this newspaper like the National Enquirer. To each his own, right, Mr. Lucifer???

 

[Beelzebub]

Oh yes, Sally.

And by his choices do we know his soul.

 

[Sally]

Oh yes, Sally.

And by his choices do we know his soul.

The big question here is -- are you able to get out of the Boiiler Room, or are your orders to sit there awnd answer practically every post? Maybe your soul doesn't even belong to you if you can't take a breather once in a while.

 

[Beelzebub]

No. I actually work from India. My name is Sonia Gupta and they beat me if I leave, or break character.

Yes, it looks like Confucius was right in his statement about men with holes in their pants pocket. No doubt Mr. Lucifer will not be getting any fresh air today. Carry on, Mr. Lucifer with all your babbling. Some times it is entertaining, but at other times very, very boring.

It became very clear to me at that point, that our newly-joined colleague was a 'lightweight', and that pursuing the matter further was akin to picking on a weaker kid in the school-yard.

I propose that all people who are genetically descendant of the Romans should get together and start a cult called Britainism. They can worship Jupiter and Neptune and create a blueprint for a state that they will claim is secular but is intricately woven with their pagan beliefs and only wants pagans to move there. Then they should move to London which used to be controlled by Rome. They they should declare the state of Paganland, start digging and claim godly righteousness over their newfound land. Then they should wander around convincing brilliant people like condor the mighty winged bird that they all they want is London and why do those nasty British terrorists need more land -- they have the rest of the isles, why does southern England matter to them. Then condor should believe their amazing farie tales and propoganda -- and proclaim the state known as the pagan state is so so different from a theocracy because we allow our non pagan people to live in this state in such a friendly fashion, though they shouldn't move there or intermarry.

But oh well, schoolyard analogies are so scary and mean. I think half of this forum grew up watching leave it to beaver. Thank you for teaching me your lesson wise sage of the sky.

and you put a lot of thought into this? Why not a cave in the north poll that leads to a land like Shanghai like the nazis philosophized. Their own Valhalla.

catholicism has it's system of trying a catholic who sins. confession, penance, excommunication, curses ..... There is church law and civil law. They don't always correspond but they should not clash.

Bigamy is acceptable in some faiths, but state law forbids it. State law supersedes. Federal and state laws are the same. States may have passed laws to permit the use of cannabis but federal laws still ban it. Federal is rather selective in their arrest and prosecution, unfair. Religions have laws for all sorts of things in our daily lives. Each religion should balance faith and common sense. I know it is, but faith should not be a means of enslaving a person with punishment for even a minor infraction. It should be a tool of opening up the mind and heart to become a better person who loves this planet and all life on it.

All religions need an update it theology and how it fits the 21st century, rather than the century it was founded in. It would benefit nations and states to do the same. People clean out their closets of clothes out of style or out of fit and add what they need to complete a look. Out with the old and in with the new.

Not even in Italy or Spain,does Church law or the Church have any influence on any civil matter including citizenship, marriage etc. The Church cannot "try" anyone for divorcing having an abortion or any other action that is legal in those countries. In fact, the Church has no legal authority whatsoever in a secular state like Italy or Spain which are probably the most Catholic states in Europe along with Ireland.

No need to restate the glaringly obviously...

The routinely obvious will do just fine...

Yet the Pope can issue a LAW know as a Papal Bull that all Catholics must obey or be excommunicated. If a catholic divorces they no longer have the shelter of the church or their religion, same it they abort a baby or use contraception of any kind. It has only been recently that abortion was allowed in Ireland when a non Catholic immigrant died because the CHURCH ruled the state and had decreed that abortion was a cardinal sin. The ECHR took up the case and fined the state and church for the breach in the womans human rights.

News about the boycott.


George Soros, a major donor to J-Street and other progressive causes, has made his opposition to the BDS movement clear with his wallet.

Soros invested heavily in SodaStream, one of the top targets for BDS.

SodaStream came under massive BDS attack in January when it announced that Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson would serve as the brand ambassador. Since then, BDS supporters have continued to attack the company because of its factory in the West Bank town of Mishor Adumim.
