"YouGov’s survey of 1,800 people in #England & #Wales found that people thought 55% of convicted #killers were from an #ethnic #minority, when the real percentage is 35%. They also thought just 45% of #homicides were committed by #white people, when the real figure is 64%. #Reform #voters were furthest from the #truth, believing 70% of #killers were from ethnic minorities - 10% more than voters of any other party." So, #Racism isn't a problem? Like Hell it isn't!

    »“Christian villages in Lebanon, some of them have actually asked to be annexed to Israel, because we protect them against the Hezbollah, Hezbollah fanatics who want to kill them, & we do the same things with Christians everywhere,” Netanyahu told Fox News (…).
    The mayor of the Christian village of Rmeish, Hanna al-Amil, was quoted by Lebanese public broadcaster NNA as denying Netanyahu’s claim.«

  12. "The #European #Jewish Association (#EJA) held an emergency conference in #Brussels on Wednesday addressing legal proceedings in #Belgium against #mohels, or ritual #circumcisers, who perform #britmilah on infants. Participants warned that the move could undermine #religious freedom and #minority rights, and set a dangerous precedent for #Jewish and #Muslim communities across #Europe.

    The conference, which also included Muslim representatives, presented a policy paper calling for legal clarity, recognition of qualified practitioners, and the promotion of regulation and dialogue rather than #criminalization."

  16. "The Weaponization of Belonging

    The fundamental lesson from the #history of #Jewish #citizenship in #America is that #legal categories are neither self-evident nor self-executing. They are #political instruments, subject to intense scrutiny and sudden revision during periods of national anxiety.

    As the #SupremeCourt prepares to issue its ruling in 2026, the historical record serves as a stark warning. When a government asserts the authority to define who is and is not a #citizen based on parental origin, it invariably opens the door to the systemic #disenfranchisement of #minority populations. The debate over #birthright citizenship is not merely a legal technicality; it is a battle over the soul of the nation and the fundamental definition of human belonging."

  20. @ZackPolanski #Burnham has stated he believes in #proportionalrepresentation (PR). If PR were implemented in time for the next #GeneralElection, #ReformUK wouldn't be able to get a #majority in the #Commons on the basis of a #minority of the #votes.

  21. @vfrmedia The current centre-Right #Swedish Government is in a #minority, & depends for its majority on the far-Right #Sweden #Democrats, who are behind this push for a more severe #penal #policy, including locking up 13 year olds in a wing of an #adult #jail. That's worse than at HMP/YOI Feltham! (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feltham_.)

  34. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

    In national politics, where you are one of some twenty million voters, your influence is infinitesimal unless you are exceptional or occupy an exceptional position. You have, it is true, a twenty-millionth share in the government of others, but only a twenty-millionth share in the government of yourself. You are therefore much more conscious of being governed than of governing.

    Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Lecture (1949-01-23), “Control and Initiative: Their Respective Spheres,” Reith Lecture, “Authority and the Individual” No. 5, BBC Radio

    "An analysis released this week predicts that, within the next 10 years, #Israel could become the home for a majority of the world’s #Jews, a change which, according to the new report, will “redefine the meaning of #Jewishpeoplehood.”

    On Wednesday, the Institute for Jewish #Policy #Research (#JPR) published “The #Jewish People in 2126: #Demography, Identity, and the Future of a Global #Minority,” a 22-page paper by #SergioDellaPergola, a professor emeritus and former chairman of #HebrewUniversity’s Avraham Harman Institute of Contemporary #Jewry who now serves as the #London-based #thinktank’s president for its #European #JewishDemography Unit."
