It is impossible to write legislation around hate speech. Example: hate vs critique. Policing speech will eventually degrade democracy, we have experienced this before with the rise of Fascism and Communism in the 20th century. So quick we forget, so history repeats its self.

🚨JUST IN: Canada just criminalized the Bible. Bill C-9 has passed the Senate, removing key religious protections and opening the door for Scripture to be treated as “hate speech.”

Quoting the Bible on marriage, sin, or God’s design for sexuality can now lead to prosecution for “willful promotion of hatred.”

This is a direct attack on Christianity and religious freedom in Canada.

Brothers and sisters — the time to stand is now.

Pray for Canada. Speak the truth boldly. Defend the Gospel while we still can.

@LeifVaai @enesovat22 Agreed, Christians have killed allot people, but they also brought allot peace to the world,and as a bonus, the Christian concept of Church and State gave you the freedom to be an Atheist in the 21st century. Thanks Christians!

@dhh No one expects the Spanish Inquisition! Sorry I couldn't help it, but the whole DEI thing is just a modernised version right?

So an antisemitic party in disguise? There was another silly little party once, mid 20th century that everyone laughed at, then that party gained power and nobody was laughing anymore. History will repeat it's self if we let it! We must make a stand against hatred.

“If the party gets registered, it will be using taxpayer funding to parlay this propaganda with the imprimatur of the electoral system.
The hatred that has stalked Jews throughout history, including antizionism, is often predicated on canards of dual loyalty and subversion.
In that accusation lies a confession. For it is not Jews who are subverting New Zealand's democratic system to fund a political party whose raison d'être is the service of a foreign cause.”

@pureMetatron In a strange I agree. This ban shouldn't come from government, it would probably cause a bloody riot! What should happen is an agreement working with sikh community leaders to phase out or transition the Kirpan. It doesn't have to be a physical knife.

@LundukeJournal I said this before the corporate world does not like GNU they never have. Why is there so much backing from the likes of MS for rust rewrites & applications? The license! The idea of FOSS is tainted these days. Free Software is still free software, but open source, what's that?

In the first half of the 20th century, Baghdad was one of the most Jewish cities in the world. It was over 25% Jewish.
The Farhud, a Nazi-inspired pogrom of 1941, was the beginning of the end for the 2500+ year old community there.
There are no Jews left in Iraq now. The vast majorly fled to Israel with nothing and built flourishing lives.
Remember this when you are told Israelis are “white colonisers” who must “go back to where they came from”.

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

This is Aron Löwi, a 62-year-old Polish Jewish merchant from the small town of Zator. A husband, a neighbor, a man with a name, a family, and a life of his own.

On March 5, 1942, that life was brutally stripped away.

Upon arriving at Auschwitz, Aron was no longer seen as a human being. He became prisoner number 26406.

The haunting mugshots taken that day show a man already bruised, starved, and hollow-eyed, clear evidence of abuse even before he entered the camp. On his striped uniform were the badges of Nazi classification: a yellow star marking him as Jewish, and a red triangle labeling him a political prisoner.

Aron Löwi survived just five days in Auschwitz. He arrived on March 5 and was dead by March 10, 1942. His cause of death was never officially recorded, just one of millions dismissed as “unfit for labor.”

In five short days, the Nazis tried to erase a lifetime.

But they failed.

His face, his photograph, and his prisoner number remain. Every time we speak his name, we push back against the oblivion they sought to impose.

To remember even one is to resist forgetting them all.

The High Cross at Scarden Cemetery, Sligo is the latest place sacred to Christians to be attacked in Ireland. A disgraceful offence to both the living and the dead.

[Juliet Moses @JulietMosesNZ]

One of the worst attacks of the second intifada happened 25 years ago. 21 people killed (16 of them teenagers), over 100 injured, by a suicide bomb, at a nightclub. I took this photo of the memorial some years ago.
When I hear chants of “globalise the intifada” and “long live the intifada” and “there is only one solution intifada revolution” on New Zealand streets and campuses this is what it conjures up.

Im suprised it has taken this long for the cancel bregade to go after Dickens. There is a rule when dealing with historic events, people, places etc "DONT FOLD HISTORY IN ON IT"S SELF!" Meaning shift your values to the time period it happened.
