Sweet fancy Moses. Just when I think I can't be more grateful for being born Canadian, I read a story like this. I'll take our long waits for surgery anytime because at least I still have rights.

Alabama is now known for incest more than the Civil Rights movement? That's going to make a lot of assholes happy.

What ill conceived rationale is behind not allowing midwives to assist in home births!?!

Late word - Alabama has just re-re-written the law to advise that births may only happen in mangers and the mother must prove virginity.

Yea, as long as there is actually a little old man who knit tiny sweaters for baby, oil-slicked penguins on Earth somewhere, I'm good. That they all have Aussie accents: BONUS!!

Hey awesome! Fewest hospitals in the state mostly known for incest babies

if you read all the way down, it says just the photo is fake b/c penguins are hard to pose.

If she is Jewish, it does not give her the right to speak for every Jew on the planet, and it does not mean that we are required to agree with her in any way. If she is Jewish, she should be mourning the loss of life of a good person who made it her life's work to help others in need. She should appreciate that the…

and the beat goes on.

They have no more hijacked the Jewish community than I have hijacked the Jewish community. That's your perception, and it seems like it's the one you favor. And I never insinuated that the "goyim" (your word, not mine. I don't use that word) are the only ones who toss it out.

i'm not defending anyone. I'm asking you why use hate to teach that hate is wrong? isn't that counterproductive?

No shit, Sherlock. We're well aware that we have our share of loud mouth fools, just like everyone else.

In the same way that members of the Westboro Baptist Church are Christians.

so, you're also okay with the death of someone who offends you? how does that make you different? isn't wishing death upon people who don't agree with us part of the problem?

Generally the people who scream "anti-semite" at anyone the tiniest bit critical of Israel or the tiniest bit supportive of Muslims aren't Israelis, or even Jewish. American conservative Christians have found that it's a very handy way to shut down anyone that expresses concern with their open bigotry. These people…

Debbie Schlussel is an American rightwinger who just happens to be Jewish and has about as much of a connection to Israel as any random jagoff on the street. Has she ever even left this country?

You seem to be obsessed with Dershowitz. You do realize he doesn't represent the Jewish community, right? Nor does Hillel. Though the BDS campaign is highly problematic. One could argue that BDS is the antithesis of universal human rights values, rooted in immoral double standards that single out and condemn Israel as…

Fundie "Christians" who foam at the mouth about Israel care absolutely nothing about Jewish people or the Jewish faith. They just want to keep Israel in the hands of "the devil we know" until the Rapture comes. The more Jewish people to leave Israel, the longer they believe Jesus will take to come back. They give…

Debbie Schlussel is the jewish version of the WBC. She'll use any chance she gets to spew her hate and vitriol. Nice of you all and TPM to give her words a platform.

That's patently untrue. Most of us in the Jewish community are very critical of Israeli policy when we don't like what is going on. There's a whole campaign right now about how Bibi doesn't speak for us. Now, there is something to be said when someone outright supports Hamas, or wants Israel to cease to exist. But I…
