exams would never be scheduled on christmas. no important sporting event would ever be played on easter. it’s about time that jewish holy days are given the same respect.
Exactly.
I should add that this isn’t limited to us Jews, either. In the past two years or so, both the Olympics and and the World Cup coincided with Ramadan, and a lot of Muslim athletes were left in the really shitty position of having to choose between either not fasting or putting their athletic performance at risk. If Christians had a fasting month, you bet your ass no sporting events would take place until it was over.
I am here for the Religious Solidarity movements.
Truuuuueeee. And comrades: before you get into ‘as an anarchist I oppose all organized religion’ shit, remember:
1. You can oppose organized religion as an institution AND support individuals and groups that are marganilized and oppressed because of their religeous beliefs. There’s no contradiction there at all.
2. If you are gonna fight organized religion, start with the religion with the most power. Start with the religion observed by almost all of the state leaders and big capital owners. If you start with the most vulnerable and marginalized religion, you’re no comrade of mine.
