2009: German Magazine Spiegel says: South Africa Has Become a De Facto One-Party State
This is the only time that a major Western publication ever stated the obvious truth: That South Africa is a one party state. The best we can hope for is that the Blacks will fight it out among themselves eventually.
[In my pro-Jew days I would have rushed out to say: See here are Jews who are on our side. But this is not so. It's like when Whites in America and South Africa try to fool themselves that Jews or Blacks are on our side. It's not true. These Jews are full of shit like the others. But in this case, these Jews have other garbage reasons for this. Whites should NOT take instances like this seriously as proof that anyone is on our side. I will explain this more in a video. Jan]
The ruling stems from a lawsuit filed in 2021 by a group of students against the educational institution for discrimination.
(June 21, 2022 / JNS) Yeshiva University is expected to appeal a ruling by a judge with the New York State Supreme Court that it must allow YU Pride Alliance, a group representing LGBTQ students, to be a formal student organization.
The ruling stems from a lawsuit filed in April 2021 by a group of students against YU, its president Rabbi Ari Berman and then-vice provost for student affairs Chaim Nissel for discrimination.
The school had argued that as a religious institution, accommodating an LGBTQ student group and providing them with the use of facilities was inconsistent with its mission. Orthodox Judaism views the act of homosexuality as antithetical to Torah values and teachings.
In making her June 14 ruling, Judge Lynn Kotler denied YU’s claim that it is a “religious corporation,” noting that in its founding documents, it calls itself an “educational corporation” for educational purposes.
“There is no doubt that Yeshiva has an inherent and integral religious character which defines it and sets it apart from other schools and universities of higher education,” wrote Kotler, “However, Yeshiva must fit with the term of ‘religious corporation’ as the legislature intended … . Yeshiva is a university which provides educational instruction first and foremost. Yeshiva’s religious character evidenced by required religious studies, observation of Orthodox Jewish law, student participation in religious services, etc., are all secondary to Yeshiva’s primary purpose.”
“The court’s ruling violates the religious liberty upon which this country was founded,” a YU spokesperson told a YU student paper, The Commentator. “The decision permits courts to interfere in the internal affairs of religious schools, hospitals, and other charitable organizations. Any ruling that Yeshiva is not religious is obviously wrong.”
“As our name indicates, Yeshiva University was founded to instill Torah values in its students while providing a stellar education, allowing them to live with religious conviction as noble citizens and committed Jews,” continued the spokesperson. “While we love and care for our students, who are all—each and every one—created in God’s image, we firmly disagree with [the] ruling and will immediately appeal the decision.”
Considered by many as the flagship educational institution for Modern Orthodox students, Yeshiva University includes separate undergraduate schools for men and women, as well as several graduate schools, including the Wurzweiler School of Social Work, Sy Syms School of Business, Albert Einstein College of Medicine and the Benjamin N Cardozo School of Law.
