DeMentis' claims on "Students for Justice in Palestine"

samedi 4 novembre 2023 à 05:04

DeMentis claims that chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine have "linked themselves to HAMAS" and therefore are promoting terrorism. He said that this justifies prohibiting them.

If they have indeed done so, that conclusion could follow. They might also be committing a crime by supporting HAMAS. But do they really do that?

The quotations from Students for Justice in Palestine seem to be ambiguously on the borderline. The group called HAMAS's terrorist acts "part of the resistance", which asserts legitimacy for them. That is a moral reason to refuse to support that group.

But the information in this article does not show the group as saying it is is "part of HAMAS".

Finnish neo-Nazis 3D printed guns

samedi 4 novembre 2023 à 05:04

*Finnish neo-Nazis used 3D printer to make guns in preparation for "race war".*

Home-made guns are now a serious danger. I think it is valid to criminalize possessing one.

However, the British approach of making it a crime to have a copy of plans for 3D-printing is an injustice.

To make the mere possession of a copy of something — whatever it might be — is an injustice because it puts everyone in danger of being set up for prosecution.
