  • The problem with this graphics is that this is absolutely not what equity proponents are doing. What is shown here is individual approach. What equity supporters want to do is to group you according by things like skin color or gender, and provide support according that grouping.

    For example, equality in income distribution is when help is given based on income of the individual. Equity is when help is given based on skin color to make average income of all skin colors the same.


  • There is equity, and there is equality, and those are different things. I do think that forceful push to maintain percentages in various aspects of life to correspond to percentages of population often is actually unjust. For example, to insist that it should be strictly 50/50 percentage (or whatever it is) between men and women in all professions e.g. police, school teachers, etc. and actually stop hiring a particular gender until this 50/50 distribution is established is not good.









  • More carefully means have less civilian casualties, which is a good thing for everyone. As for firing people - they are elected officials, I do not think it is possible to fire them, but they will shut up. Nearly every democratically elected parliament/congress has extreme members. Israel is no different. The problem is that while they are still a fringe in Israel, they are powerful fringe. This ruling helps to reduce their power. Again, a good thing for everyone, including for Israel.
