You are trying to defend the indefensible. Good luck, you sure will be needing it.

Ridiculous. I have been around for over two and a half years and some people on here know me quite well. (even Charles knows me)

How long have you been around?

I will give you an analogy to another bad law and my reaction to it.

Israel has a law against racist political parties, and under it they banned Kach (Kahane’s party). I am against this law as a normative matter. But given the law exists, I believe that Balad and Ta’al (Arab parties) must also be banned - otherwise there is the soft bigotry of low expectations against Arabs.

Should there be a bad law, it should be overturned. But if overturning it is impossible, then at least apply it uniformly, so as to not only benefit one group of people.

Very simple principle.
