I think they were saying the opposite. The gun obsessed military types you see in public may be bigots. SG characters may look similar bat are various races and not bigots.

Check out dry herb vaping, the safest way to "smoke" weed without combustion. Still not perfect but way better in every way.

Yeah, the last time I went to a chiropractor for back pain, they also "corrected" my neck which in the past felt good but this time it just immediately pulled a muscle in my neck and left me in pain and barely able to turn my head for weeks.

It's better now, but I'll never go back to a chiropractor again because of the risk of making things worse for essentially no benefit.

~~Misleading headline.~~

"[23andMe] was not hacked itself but cyber-criminals logged into about 14,000 individual accounts, or 0.1% of customers, by using email and password details previously exposed in other hacks.".

Edit: it's worse than they said at first:

You made some good points and it's fair to be skeptical of the link I posted. I also noticed that they linked to the same page, whether that's a mistake or international I don't know.

There is a working link on that page to laws which are intended to thwart terrorists but because of vague language they can be abused to suppress anyone deemed to be a threat.This is far from a smoking gun, but the claims seem plausible.

I see your point and it stands. Certainly anyone can lead a country down the wrong path and we don't know their true motives.

My point was mainly that the power structure is seemingly reversed, so the incentives don't make as much sense.

In most cases, Jews who chose to collaborate with Nazis did so to guarantee their personal survival, which distinguished them from most other ethnic groups who collaborated with Nazi Germany. It's not exactly a fair comparison.

I second your experience. Additionally, if you disrupt their echo chamber too much, they'll delete your comments and ban you. This has happened repeatedly when trying to have civil discussions like this one. They justify it as preventing misinformation so I have yet to see a fair debate on there.

Ironically, Russians think they are fighting Nazis in Ukraine.

I agree except most Israelis do not support their leader or government, support is at all time lows, just 25% according to some recent poll. Being a democracy does not automatically mean the government is doing the will of the people. Especially when their government discriminates against their own citizens.

Many of the rights you are accorded in Israel stem from your nationality, not your citizenship. Your nationality is determined by your ethnicity and it cannot be changed or challenged.

Meaning an “Arab” Israeli citizen and a Jewish Israeli citizen, while both citizens, enjoy different rights and privileges determined by their “nationality”. This is not merely discrimination in practice, but discrimination by law.

This is intentional. It is an ethnic democracy executing the will of one ethnicity over another. It puts the power in the hands of those who are most likely to be indifferent to the plight of the Palestinians, and takes power away from dissenting voices.
