Israeli far-right lawmaker Avi Maoz accused the Justice Ministry of attempting to normalize pedophilia within the country by altering Israel’s age of consent laws.
Currently, the age of consent in Israel is 16 for all genders. However, that age of consent can go as low as 14, provided the other sexual partner was no more than three years older and both parties consented.
But according to Maoz, the Justice Ministry is trying to change this to an age gap of five years.
This isn’t the first time Maoz has brought up pedophilia as a potential problem facing the Jewish state.
Maoz has also referred to members of the LGBTQ+ community as “perverts and pedophiles.”
Status quo is you. I mean listen to yourself:
No. I wont let them set the rules such that they win and we all eat table scraps off the floor, with people like yourself doing what you are told and telegraphing to them that they can get away with whatever they want if they are 1% better than fascists. You are actually a big part of the problem. The system works the way it does because you refuse to demand anything for your vote.
No. They wont have to do anything, and they have fallen over themselves to say explicitely that when elected they will not pursue impeachment.

You have to realize at some point that these people dont care about you, dont care about your issues-- at all, and that they only need anything from you every two years. This is the moment and you are just giving all your power away for exactly nothing.
And so we are talking about a trolley problem arent we. In that secnario some people got tied to tracks. Its the DNC tying people to tracks. And you still make the choice that they have set up for you. And the replicans are insane, they arent worth talking about.
I think the key of a trolley problem is that you’re killing people regardless.
Tankie world is full of extremist young people who never fought in a war and don’t have a clue how bad things will get if you get your collapse.
You care about the genocide of tens if not hundreds of thousands of Palestinian people, but you don’t care there are millions of all races on the other track. You’re not just burning a country.
You support trump through inaction, and that’s your karmic burden to carry.
the real answer to the trolley problem is that you find the people who tied others to the tracks, and you take them to the woodshed in a big way. You dont just do what they say and hope and how they say it that something changes down the road. Because nothing will change and you’ll be doing the same thing in a few years, and thats pathetic.
Good luck getting through Jerusalem airport security with that giant knife, unexpected Lemmy warrior.
Thanks, and Good luck to you doing whatever the centrists tell you to do. Maybe someday they will just spontaneously do what the voters want and go against their donors wishes, out of the goodness of their hearts. Wouldnt that be amazing.
