Do they suggest that land owner should feel ok if someone opens a tent on their property and decides to live there from now on? Normally, I guess you'd want your local law enforcement remove such unwanted guests, but looks like that isn't enough in this area...

With Israeli obsession with children and family, it is extremely hard for LGBT, or any other couples to adopt - they have to prove they have the means to raise up these kids - both material and psychological.

Fitting the sub, it is interestingasfuck...

So marijuana users get to get same treatment as alcohol users... Possibly both kinds of people should be able to prove they are responsible consumers, somehow, before getting their permits.

Nice!

And even with medicine - not sure about cancer treatments, but headaches cured fine with generic ibuprofen vs more expensive Nurofen™ or similar

Wasn't there a scheme where European countries donated unused vaccine doses to developing countries?

Steve n seagulls are awesome! 🤘

While on the other side it can come to absurd like this:

Hen Mazzig, an ex-IDF soldier

in one case, a professor asked me if I knew how many Palestinians have been raped by IDF forces. I answered that as far as I knew, none. She triumphantly responded that I was right, because, she said, “You IDF soldiers don’t rape Palestinians because Israelis are so racist and disgusted by them that you won’t touch them.”

And in Israeli academy (!)

According to Dr. Gurevitch, This was a very serious paper that asked two important questions: Is the relative lack of IDF rapes a noteworthy phenomenon, and if so, why is it that there are so few IDF rapes when in similar situations around the world, where rape is so much more common? The abstract of the paper, authored by doctoral candidate Nitzan, could not find instances of rapes of Palestinian women by the IDF it sought to find, so it was decided that the paper show that “the lack of organized military rape is an alternate way of realizing [particular] political goals.” It continues, “In the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it can be seen that the lack of military rape merely strengthens the ethnic boundaries and clarifies the inter-ethnic differences – just as organized military rape would have done.” Ergo, Nitzan could not find any cases of rape by IDF soldiers of Palestinian women even though Palestinian media constantly accuses Israeli soldiers of this. Apparently distraught over such findings, Nitzan had to twist her thesis to attribute the lack of such rapes to a governmental program instilling in IDF soldiers that the Arab women are sub-human or inferior.

I wonder if repeating patterns could trigger epilepsy or tripophobia in sensitive people
