Can you imagine the fever dream propaganda that would have dripped out of that man's mouth if instead of Chinese Muslims, it was about Chinese Jews?

"They're forced to work on the Sabbath because the CCP doesn't believe in Sundays"

"The CCP reverses circumcisions on the poor Kaifeng Jewish diaspora"

etc

      I said a while back that I can't think of any realistic example of a topic the left could go "too far left" to make me say centrist shit like "I use to be left but now that they want me to stop saying the nword they've gone too far". But this is it. I've finally found it. If Forced Foreskin Restoration on cis men becomes a mainstream leftist talking point, it's over for me.

      I wonder if there's any religious jurisprudence on this topic.

      Surely some imam or rabbi has answered the question about whether it's legal donate your tip to God and then to go restoring the rest of it later on.

          Orthodox Jews would still probably observe the Sabbath over the two calendar days, I'd imagine? But yeah fair enough. I'm not Jewish so can't speak to that.

            You're right, not just Orthodox Jews. I remember having Shabbat dinner on Friday nights when I visited Jewish friends in high school. But probably only seriously matters to Orthodox Jews since they have broader interpretation of what you can't do during.

              No, it matters to anyone who observes it. Which I don't, but plenty of my family does.

              The Jewish Sabbath and Holidays start at Sundown the evening before, and end at Dark (about an hour after Sundown). The origin for this practice is in Genesis where the text says “and it was evening, and it was morning, the 1st day,” etc.

      I doubt Zenz would know that before saying it and having the Victims of Communism repeat it verbatim

    Isn't he rabidly antisemitic? Probably wouldn't stop him anyway.
