If this news had actually come out of Iran, we’d be looking at some bloodthirsty Iranian mob hellbent on wiping out everything Western civilization stands for. Wouldn't we?

When it comes to Israel, we’re really just talking about one crazy rabbi. That's it.

And you don't think he's crazy?

Look, if some leader in Iran said something like this, we'd instantly assume it represents a whole bloodthirsty nation, mostly because they're famous for those sensationalist outbursts like "Destroy Israel" or claiming "there's no homosexuality in Iran" (mostly because they dress like women so the religious guys don't even register them as men😂)

top Yesha Rabbi says Jewish law forbids renting houses to Arabs Their employment is forbidden not only AT yeshivas

Apparently, this goes beyond just religious schools; we're talking about jobs in factories, positions in hotels—basically any corner of the workforce.

...seriously, what is wrong with you people? this isn't breaking news... we've known about this version of "democracy" they run in Israel for ages...
...we aren't just talking about some "crazy rabbis" here; this is the exact kind of policy Congress goes out of its way to push...

So now, does anyone actually believe you care about "Palestinians"?🤣

Being Jordanian is just as much of a thing as being an Ariel Sharon Palestinian.🤣
That crypto trash finally hit rock bottom... honestly, I'm kind of loving it... 👍

So, according to the moderator, this thread doesn't belong in the main discussion topic...

I have to wonder why 🙂

Can someone explain why they don't use the standard plus sign (+) in Israeli schools like the rest of the world does? It feels like a total mess to me.
Is this some weird religious thing tied to Christianity, or do they just have their own bizarre way of doing math?

Don't mention it.

Honestly, you’ve said just enough to make yourself look pretty pathetic. You claim to care about democracy, yet you spend all your time trashing it, while simultaneously trying to paint this picture of how "magnificent" some Islamic republic is—you know, the kind where people get tortured and killed over nothing and where women and minorities are treated like second-class citizens. It’s a joke. 👎

And then there’s your attempt to label Israel as a racist state. Just so we're clear, if I saw trash like you in my country, I'd want you kicked out too. They should all just head back to their deserts with their camels.☕

Honestly? This modern version of democracy—what it's actually turning into—bothers me more and more every single day.
Got any actual evidence that they're killing people and discriminating against women and minorities, or are you just spinning more empty rhetoric?☕

And now you're trying to claim Israel is a racist state. Just so we're clear, I'd love to kick trash like that out of my country too. They should just head back to their deserts with their camels.☕

Well, newsflash: Israel *is* a racist entity, a military apartheid state. The real trash here are the settlers who moved in during the 30s and 40s. Why don't they just go back to their European and American homes?

Look, I asked the exact same thing once and they basically told me to go look it up myself.
So, I sent them a scanned page from an actual math textbook. The silence that followed was deafening.

Oh, really?

Never heard that one. Can you send that scan again? What are they even using?

I can't send the screenshot because I don't have it anymore, but if you go back and look through all my posts, you'll find it.😛
They’re using a symbol that looks like a plus sign, but without the bottom part of the vertical line.

...Albert Einstein is probably spinning in his grave right now...though, let’s be real, a Mexican woman was actually the one doing his math, and she didn't see a cross as some kind of threat🙂...

...I honestly can't believe you're actually saying this...seriously, trying to link generally accepted mathematical symbols to religion? Who even thinks like that? I can wrap my head around Americans being skeptical of SI units outside of scientific circles, but this is just getting ridiculous...

...p.s...here it is, just found it—there's even stuff about it on Wikipedia, so it's not just some urban legend...what kind of phobia of the cross is this, it's unbelievable 🙂...thank god the minus sign isn't slightly curved, or he might start aiming it at the crescent moon...imagine the absolute mess it would be if people started inventing alternative symbols 🙂...

It’s all just more evidence that the Middle East isn't really meant for human habitation...

since even the Saudis aren't far off:

...it just keeps getting weirder and weirder🙂...what's next?...even though I can see that initiative got shot down immediately, unlike this other one with the plus sign that's moving full steam ahead...

You aren't reading very closely:

"in some elementary school textbooks"... everyone else is using standard punctuation

Honestly, it surprises me even more that Muslims haven't banned the "+" symbol altogether

All in all, it seems like nothing but sun and sand is doing wonders for clouding people's judgment...

The difference is that Israel keeps beating its own chest about some idea of democracy, while this whole "crippled plus" concept lives on in its own misguided glory.

How on earth do they come up with such insane, filthy ideas by twisting basic math symbols? They’re basically handing students an open invitation to see that their hatred knows no bounds, teaching them to think exactly like they do.
So, here’s the bottom line: no matter how much you all hate Muslims globally, you don't hold Christians to the same standard—it's just that one group is currently playing the victim while the other acts as nothing more than tools and puppets. 😕

They even got rid of the plus sign because it reminds them too much of a crisis... in democracy and the state, kind of like the German Reich lol ☕

Another lie.
