Football banning orders are between 3-5 years for non custodial sentences (6-10 years for custodial). Given no violence was involved I'd say 3 years is probably appropriate from a legal point of view assuming the magistrate had been instructed by the police that they wished to pursue a banning order. She will have the right to appeal it after 2/3rds of the order. The club can of course ban her for as long as they see fit.
Sadly they probably have heard similar before, unfortunately bigotry on many levels is prevalent in society and now some folks feel emboldened due to social media, high flying millionaires and world leaders.
Depressingly true
I know it’s irrelevant to the crime. But it’s relevant as a news item, can you not see the difference I am making here? In fact, please don’t answer this question as I’m done with this. I think my point is perfectly clear.
You’ve missed understood my point. I was answering whether Judaism was a race or a religion and it’s a religion. Therefore antisemitism is the hatred of a person defined by their religion whether the hater realises it or no.
The Ashkenazi is a sub group of the Jewish Diaspora which simply means you are a descendant of practising Jews who left the Middle East hundreds of years ago. (They emerged after what we now call the Anglo-Saxons and we don’t consider the English as a distinct race.) So it is still a cultural definition rather than a racial one. None of this makes antisemitism any less vile and pernicious than it obviously is.
Many Jews have been able to trace their lineage back to the original tribes. So we are talking more than hundreds of years. If the Jews are not a race, then by definition race does not exist. It would be like saying Anglo-Saxons are a racial construct.
Where does this leave the large % of Jews who are secular though ?
Culture is very complex and vulnerable to external factors and Judaism in particular both because of it not being a proselytising religion like Christianity or Islam and because of the intolerance it has been subjected. Lots of Jews over the centuries have assimilated within the nations they lived but antisemitism (and to some extent Zionism later on) have made that much more difficult.
Jewish people trace their bloodline through their mother, which is why Keir Starmer’s children are Jewish, and he isn’t.
Exactly - being Jewish isn’t a religion - Judaism is the religion - you can be Jewish without being religious as you said. There is no need to break it down though to define ‘antisemitism’.
A rhetorical question because you already answered this yourself but to clarify:
Correct
No - Jews are NOT defined by their religion.
Hello
Hello
From my experience it is a label other people have put on me. It's a strange that we put people into these boxes, I intensley dislike the idea that you label people on the basis of their maternal grandmother.
Jews are a race (Judaism is a religion). Neither Hitler nor Hamas checked if people went to synagogue before trying to wipe them all out
A good point but it's nsc finding it hard. Not JewsGiven how hard it seems to be to decide what constitutes a Jew, a race, a culture, an ethnicity and a religion,
you have to hand it to the anti-Semites for their certainty and clarity of repulsiveness
