If they are improving it, it means they are investing money to do so.

4462

Spoken like a true internet warrior, safe in America.

Improvement is the only benchmark.

4463

No, it’s how it compares to the society that matters.

Civil rights has improved significantly over the past 5 or 6 decades, but that doesn’t mean that we should be happy with the current situation. Would you argue that everything is now fine with voting, because we no longer have a poll tax?

4464

Not to butt in to the argument, which I will leave to others, but in 1950 we’re talking about an Israeli population that is still mostly Europeans living like Europeans. The disparity in mortality has little to do with being Jewish and a lot to do with European ideas about health care, government services, etc.

4465

Again, nobody said anyone should be satisfied with the status quo.

But unless you have a magic wand that can make all the world’s problems disappear, the only meaningful benchmark is how fast things are improving.

4466

I don’t, but I can point out when the system is flawed and racist and that argue that the US should stop supporting a racist regime.

4467

By your argument, Biden is in charge of a flawed, racist regime and nobody should support us.

4468

For the most part, probably. Except, unlike Israel, we currently have a federal government that is trying to do something productive.

But, if countries want to stop all trade with places like Alabama or Kentucky, or W. Virginia, I say, go for it.

4469

I’m not a fan of the Israeli government. You can criticize their various civil rights policies and I won’t object.

But Israeli health care professionals, like Biden, are trying to do something productive. In fact, so far they have been more successful than Biden.

Haha, you think racism is no longer a problem in New York and California??? No, they don’t get a pass.

4470

Last I checked, Health care professionals don’t really get much of a say in how money is allocated? Or am I wrong about that?

4471

Yoyu’re wrong, health care systems have a wide degree of autonomy.

4472

On a State Level, systematically, prompted by the Goverment of said states? No, I honestly don’t. At least not actively.

No one is trying to depress the vote in New York or California. No one is passing draconian voting requirements.

I am sure racists do exist in both states though. Especially among cops, but according to many members on the forum, things like legalizing Weed goes a long way to reducing the racist things they can do.

4473

Like deciding where to build hospitals?

4474

But they still have racism. They still have higher infant mortality among Blacks than whites. Does that not matter any more?

4475

Yeah, they do. And it’s an issue. But hey, someone told me it’s a huge improvement over how it used to be, so I guess it’s okay.

4476

Yup, I think the governments of New York and California are doing pretty well, because despite their problems they are showing constant improvement.

You’re the one that wants to condemn Biden and anyone else who hasn’t solved racism. Which is a very Tucker thing to do, by the way.

4477

I don’t condemn Biden, because unlike Benjamin, he isn’t a racist, criminal Hardline, warmonger and is actually trying to do something about it.

Benjamin is like Trump. Trying his best to make the problem worse for everyone, because he is a racist that appeals to racist. So, yeah, he gets condemned.

And Trump gets condemned.

But Biden is an obvious man of character and caring, who wants to do what he can to make the situation better. Sadly, unlike the Parliament system of Israel, that isn’t enough.

Now, hopeful, Benny gets kicked out of office finally, and goes to jail for his corruption. Sadly, his replacement is still a ‘moderate’ that seems pretty Hardline.

Honestly, I don’t know where you get the idea that I condemned Biden. I really like Biden. The man went through a lot, but there are so many stories of his character and empathy and caring.

4478

Those are all valid reasons to condemn Netanyahu.

But infant mortality is a red herring. It existed before Netanyahu, and it would continue to exist even if the next PM of Israel were Joe Biden. You are ignoring the heroic efforts of Israeli doctors, both Jewish and Arab, in reducing it over the years.

4479

I am not ignoring it. I am stating that none of that matters as long as funding is controlled by the Israeli Government, which will continue to fund as little as possible when it comes to the Arabic People

And I believe that if Joe Biden was Prime Minister (and of course his party had the majority) he would do more to create equal funding.

4480

Which is ridiculous. Israel has done more to reduce Muslim infant mortality than Biden has done to reduce Black infant mortality.

I don’t care about funding. I care about infant lives saved.

And I don’t think Prime Minister Biden would make a big difference in that regard. He would do better to focus on something else, like health care in the occupied territories.
