Anti-Zionist views are 'worthy of respect', UK judge says

About 10 years ago I first heard about zionism as an ethnic supremacist movement from a jew. I had no opinion on it whatsoever, and decided to ask this friend of mine exactly because he was Jewish. I was curious about history and t religion, which he is knowledgeable about, and the subject went on middle east and Israel. He didn't recognize Israel as an legitimate estate and was horrified by Israel actions against humans rights - surprisingly, including against black jews.

That was a pretty solid ground for me to understand that Israel isn't "the jews", even though it is a (white) jewish based supremacist ethnoestate, just as much as the nazi Germany isn't "the caucasians".

It IS, thought, a state structure with colonizing domination plans, which happen to use ethnicity as a legitimizing card.

Non-Americans of Lemmy, what does your country do to protect the rights of criminal defendants?

Brazil here.

The underage can't have their image and names disclosed in any way. The whole ordeal, both in administrative and judicial instances are kept in secret to not disclose their identities. That goes on even after the punishment is over.

Handcuffs shall only be used on a justified basis (risk of escape or violent subject), and it should be and exception. The non compliance by the state is subjected to investigation.

The ones who are in charge for their families and there's young kids to be taken care of, are sent home to care for the kiddos (if it wasn't a violent crime and it wasn't against the kids) - that's a way to not punish the kids for the existence of an ongoing investigation over the ones who take care of them. I'm explaining this one pretty plainly, but that's the spirit.

The accused don't have to say anything and that can't be held against him in any way.

The confession be the accused is not taken as definitive, it's just another detail to the process, and it can be dismissed if the other evidences say otherwise. (It can be deemed as the crime of meddling with the due process, thought, so if an innocent person confess a crime he didn't do, they won't be condemned by that one, but for another crime, with a 3 month to 2 years detention)

It's preferred if the accused can await in freedom for the result of the judicial process that may lead to their imprisonment. There are a few measures to grant their compliance to the process.

There may be others I'm forgetting

Britain to axe up to 1.5m lampposts — see how it would look | Street lights across the country, particularly in rural areas, may be replaced with cleaner alternatives to cut a £3bn bill

The lamp is under the treetop, not over it or on it's middle. So the trees won't demand extra maintenance to avoid shading the lamp. This way you can plant trees all along the pathway, and as a bonus they will help containing the remaining light pollution from the already small reflection from the pavement.

Punching Nazis is good

I know someone who loves the song Bella ciao and preached how noble it was because it was anti-fascist. Then on the same heartbeat got angry because the song was used in a funk, because "these favelados and their music are trashy and they are defacing this noble song!".

Dude became a bolsonaro fan.

Some people just have no clue what the fuck about no fucks at all. I think they just like the aesthetic or the face value of the speeches, and only surface deep.

Mais pobres gastam 4 vezes mais em ‘bets’ do que a parcela mais rica. Estudo vê queda de 0,3% no PIB com apostas

Essa bosta é uma sabotagem em nivel nacionao ao desenvolvimento do país. Cada um dos envolvidos na aprovação desse lixo é tão golpista quanto quem participou do impeachment da dilma ou nos atos de caos generalizado que precederam 08/01, porque todos tiveram como objetivo a desestabilização do país e canalização dos nossos recursos a entes estrangeiros.
