It’s almost as if an entire political party is openly endorsing bigotry and anti-semitism ….

Great idea. Should have been given to the state or NB years ago.

There is a gas station at the end of my street and it’s consistently higher so I’m always on the lookout for a good one with lower prices. Good to know thank you!

So attacking the ADL for helping Jewish people shouldn’t be conflated with you attacking Jewish people??

So funny....liberals and democrats only think anti-semitism exists from white christians. Muslim or black anti-semitism doesn't raise an eyebrow.
Because in reality, they don't care about anti-semitism, they just care about politics and trying to make themselves feel superior to the other side.

no. it's already a park. There is no "nationalization".

So is this called micro-nationalization?
Edit: Jesus Christ people, I was asking a technical question as to what do you call the action of making a municipal property a state property. That's all there is to it.

Good riddance. Why bother visiting our subreddit then if you don’t live here and have such strong negative emotions about it?

By extending the problem do you mean extending the lives of people who would otherwise die from overdose? Cause it sounds like your solution is to simply let people die preventable deaths.

I did b/c I didn't believe a good faith argument was incoming. One was way out of context and the other was commentary on politicians and lobbying groups that blindly support the state of Israel.
I will capitulate, though, that the holocaust comment was clumsily said and Talib probably should have though a bit more before speaking.

> almost like you can go back to any point in history and people have a problem with the jews.
I’m pretty sure “the Jews” are “Jewish people”

So Talib was called an antisemitic for calling Israel an apartheid state. I’d have to agree with her, and I am Jewish. Again, criticizing Israel is NOT criticizing Jews.
And Omar was called antisemitic for saying that US politicians pushing for pro-Israeli policy at the expense of the United States was showing allegiance to a foreign state. Again, I’d agree.
You k ow what’s antisemitic? Conflating Israel with all Jews.

No, I won’t google it. You made a claim, you back it up with a source.
If you turned in a paper and the bibliography was just “google it”, you’d fail that class.

>"it's all about the benjamins"
The first is being taken out of context, although clumsily said. The second has nothing to do with Jews and all about the people who blindly support state of Israel.

I lost someone close to me to an OD that would be alive today if they were at an injection site.
That being said, is this the route we want to go down? Heroin use isn’t a “trend” that’s going to “phase out”. All the statistics and maps prove that use is on the rise.
Could very well be your kids at an injection site. Take the money for this and put it towards prevention/rehabs/education/methadone. We should get high schoolers to volunteer at rehabs and outreach programs so they can get a glimpse of what happens. Just my two cents.

i don't think all defunding all 10 people that may apply to would save our state
