    The MAGA coalition is so bizarre. Half of them are Zionists who believe it is ontologically impossible for a Jew to do anything wrong, and the other half don’t believe the Holocaust happened but think it should have.

      Zionism is comprised of two pillars: 1. We will kill arabs. 2. We will move jews out of your country.

      The only difference from zionism and the original nazi plan for the jewish question is that Israel is not in Madagascar…

    the large diaspora of beautiful Jewish families

    He knows exactly how to behave.

    Nothing the MAGA regime does (and this is also true for all the MAGA-loving ‘conservatives’ in Europe) is the result of incompetence or lack of knowledge. They are not stupid, they are evil. Nobody actually knows where incompetence ends and active performance art starts. And we shouldn’t care to find out either because it does not matter. Every loud obnoxious idiot is in their respective position exactly because they are supposed to be there. To divert and to polarize. And so morons have some figure to rally around that is seemingly just like them.

    Fuck the Belgian law though. Child mutilation for ritualistic purposes.

    “Belgian law permits ritual circumcisions if they are performed by a qualified doctor under strict health and safety standards.”

      I’m against circumcision too, but it’s not against the law. Many people believe it is healthier for the child, and in some cases they are right, but by and large it should be the parents and doctors decision, not a lawmakers. I don’t agree with religious exemption, but the law sure does.

        It should be the decision of the person whose foreskin is in question. If they’re a minor, should only be allowed if there is medical need. If they’re an adult and aren’t being coerced into it, then so be it, it’s their body. But this shit should not be happening to minors for “ritual” purposes

          Babies can’t ask though? I agree with you in principal, but the world is the way it is. Our medical professionals should not be bombarded with “opinions” and they should give clinical care as needed. Ask someone who got circumcized as an adult how it felt? It’s not much fun. Religion is a voting block with power and they ua e forced mandates. That’s where you need to focus your battle, not getting mad at me online. I don’t have any say on the matter, only an opinion.

              The idea is they don’t use the thing like a young boy does even. That’s it. Not suggesting mutilating babies, just a realist here.

            If the world is shit we need to make it better. If “bombarding medical professionals with opinions” stops them in being accomplices in the mutilatiion of children it makes the world better.

            I’m not mad at you. I’m mad at religion getting a free pass to mutilate children who can’t consent to be mutilated.

    Legitimate question, hypothetically, can’t someone just defenestrate the ambassador and pin it on the Russians? The yanks do it and no one bats an eye. It may even help with war in Ukraine. Worst case scenario, the yanks find out and the Belgians reply by quoting Trump’s whitewashing of MBS’ butchering proclivities. “These things happen”

    We have so many anti-competent Trumpers in American government, it’s easy to forget that American diplomacy is run by anti-competent Trumpers, too.
