Caring about Israel means standing up against violence, corruption, inequality and abuse of power there

Their words

But the mistreatment of those suffering from today's atrocities is simply not in line with my Jewish values. Because I care about Israel, I must stand up against violence, corruption, inequality, and abuse of power.

Seriousness for its own sake is a dubious kind of trophy

Inexperience can be harnessed to carve out a path of your own, free of how things are supposed to be

Their words

But you can harness that inexperience to carve out your own path, one that is free of the burden of knowing how things are supposed to be, a path that is defined by its own particular set of reasons.

The human cost of factory farming, to slaughterhouse workers and above all to the environment, is staggering

animal welfare

Their words

The human cost of factory farming -- both the compromised welfare of slaughterhouse workers and, even more, the environmental effects of the mass production of animals -- is staggering.

The documented torture of farmed animals is unacceptable, whether or not one thinks animals have personalities

Their words

Perhaps others disagree with me that animals have personalities, but the highly documented torture of animals is unacceptable, and the human cost Foer describes in his book, of which I was previously unaware, is universally compelling.

From one piece Israeli Diversity Shown Even Among Leaders (letter to the editor, The Harvard Crimson, 17 April 2002) 2 beliefs, in the piece's order there

Israelis and Arabs are one family, so a loss for either side is a loss for all humankind

Their words

What is a korrent?

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.

Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.

Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
