Israel is trying to legalize pedophilia - Avi Maoz | The Jerusalem Post
www.jpost.com
The age of consent in Israel is 16 for all genders but can be as low as 14 provided both parties consent and have a 3-year age gap or less.

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.”

    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.

        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.
