The social norm is constructed: not naturally occurring but created by the society in which it is found.
Hence there are no actions which in themselves are inherently #abnormal or universally condemned by all societies at all times. Deviance is thus situational and contextual.

Let's popularise a bit 😋

Because I like to create stories, I'm starting a #series for you: #EstelleInterprets

Episode 1: "Jew or Israelite?"

(The definition of #Israeli is easy: "in the State of Israel". So it doesn't apply before 1948).

#Israelite" may have one of two meanings: ethnic and religious/secular. Neither is linked to citizenship in Israel-Palestine.

By 1940 "July 9 parliament had voted 569 to 80 to abandon the previous government, the Third Republic. The parliament also voted to give Chief of State Marshal Philippe Pétain, a World War I hero, full and extraordinary powers."

“The Vichy French government participated willingly in the deportations and did most of the arresting,” Paxton says. “The arrests of foreign Jews often involved separating families from their children, sometimes in broad daylight, and it had a very powerful effect on public opinion and began to turn opinion against Pétain.”

"On November 8, 1942, in the thick of World War II, thousands of American soldiers landed on the Atlantic coast of Morocco, while others amassed in Algeria, only to take immediate gunfire from the French."
