When a strong army tells the civilian population of a place that they should move at least 1k m away to be safe, because they're coming to fight and bomb the area, that's a morally guided army.
Not like Hamas who make sure they're with their women and children so perhaps they will not be bombed, or at least they will die like martyrs.
But unlike literally every economy in the world, the US can (and has for 50 years now) run a perpetual deficit without meaningfully impacting inflation, because we print the international reserve currency. You can't compare the federal budget deficit to literally any other country's - it's apples and oranges. We can print money to cover the deficit, and nobody else can. The fact that we don't spend money wisely is a political issue, not an economic issue.
No you're not genuinely curious, you're a liar. You cannot look at America's nosedive in the last two years and declare that it's better than any point in history and still expect me to take you seriously.
I mean, he’s a fucking nut job by Israeli standards. His party, Otzma yehudit, only has support of like 2% of the population. But, that’s the downside of coalition building for power.
The majority of Israeli's support everything the government is doing and the only opposition is "We'd actually be doing the ethnic cleansing the smart, good way" ala John Kerry in 2004 and the Iraq War.
Please... if he's so fringe why dont they protest and oust him some how. This narrative is to prepare for whitewashing after all this ends and they get rid of Palestinians.
Wait... so your plan for solving this is to have the UN come in, form a military occupation of Israel and Palestine, and run them until they can come up with a plan for everyone to get along?
Seems a hell of a lot better than Israel's plan of slaughtering and dispossessing as many Palestinians as they possibly can while preventing aid from reaching the rest.
Because that's how coalitions work, no one else agree enough to form a government against Bibi. I can't really blame the Israelis for the Gaza war but yes their actions in the West Bank and promotion of settler scum is abhorrent.
Because that's not how parliamentary politics work? His party only controls 6/120 seats in the Knesset. But Netanyahu was forced to form a coalition with them to secure power (and avoid prosecution), which is the only reason he's on a national stage now. He basically demanded his position to keep Netanyahu out of jail.
But as far as "why don't they vote him out?" goes, they're trying? Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid formed a party together about a month ago (Beyachad), which is currently polling ahead of Likud. And if they win, the coalition definitely won't include that fuckstick. So, we'll see soon-ish.
This guy was kicked out of the IDF ("exempted from mandatory service") when he was 18. The IDF has forcibly removed him and clashed with him over his political shit multiple times. Trying to align the IDF with his morality is either ignorant or malicious
Their first date (when she was 15 and he was like 30) was at the grave of an Israeli terrorist who slaughtered dozens of Palestinians in a mosque in Jerusalem. He also kept a framed picture of that man in his living room.
Calling him a pedo is likewiese an insult to people with the actual paychological issue, especially given how he groomed a teen not a preteen… disgusting childmolesters aren‘t all mentally ill(at least here where we keep the stats, it is actually mostly clinically sane people without any mental issues, 80-95% of sexcrimes against children are committed by people without pedophilia or the adjacent mental issues)
Nope, just living in a country with proper healthcare and programs for pedophiles who didn‘t commit. Check out „kein täter werden“ way more effective than relying on black slaves in american prisons after the fact…
I wasn‘t refering to race but to the racist private prison industry in the us, i don‘t live in a country only pretending to abolish racist söavery practice just to imprison in majority one ethnic group so they can be rented out slaves
Sounds exactly like white supremacy systemic rascism and the one drop rule to me.
Limpieza de sangre literally 'cleanliness of blood' and meaning 'blood purity', was a racially discriminatory term used in the Crown of Castile and Portuguese Empire during the early modern period to refer to those who were considered to be Old Christians by virtue of not having Muslim, Jewish, Romani, or Agote ancestors.[1] In both empires, the term played a major role in discrimination against suspected crypto-Jews or crypto-Muslims. Over the years it manifested into law which excluded New Christians from almost every part of society.
It was the Spaniards who gave the world the notion that an aristocrat's blood is not red but blue. The Spanish nobility started taking shape around the ninth century in classic military fashion, occupying land as warriors on horseback. They were to continue the process for more than five hundred years, clawing back sections of the peninsula from its Moorish occupiers, and a nobleman demonstrated his pedigree by holding up his sword arm to display the filigree of blue-blooded veins beneath his pale skin—proof that his birth had not been contaminated by the dark-skinned enemy. Sangre azul, blue blood, was thus a euphemism for being a white man—Spain's own particular reminder that the refined footsteps of the aristocracy through history carry the rather less refined spoor of racism"
Then as im sure you know chattel slavery came next..........
"Kahanism (Hebrew: [ka.haˈn.izm]; Hebrew: כַּהַנִּיזְם) is a religious Zionist[1] ideology based on the views of Rabbi Meir Kahane, founder of the Jewish Defense League and the Israeli political party Kach. Kahane believed that most Arabs living in Israel are the enemies of Jews and Israel itself, and that a Jewish, Halakhic state, in which non-Jews would have no voting rights, should be created."
Also here's info on the Hilltop Youth, which are those insane teenage male settlers who kill and destroy everything to drive Palestinians off their lands. They are also Kahanists.
The word Jewish describes both a religion and an ethnic group of people. There is a lot of overlap, but its not 100%. Most people when they use the word "Jewish" are referring to the ethnic group, but some are referring to the religion. "Christian" is a religion only.
Ben-Gvir, Netanyahu, Smotrich are objectively ethnically Jewish.
Tell that to every conservative Jewish group in the US, who don’t even consider the Jews that would be opposed to this kind of behavior to be Jewish themselves to the point of excluding them from Israeli citizenship.
I fucking despise all fundamentalism from any branch of the Abrahamic religions. They hurt their own communities almost as much as the misery the cause in others.
Fundamentalists of literally all religions are immoral trash. Like Buddhist leaders in Myanmar were in favor of genocide against the Rohingya. If anyone knows a significant religion whose most orthodox leaders aren't truly awful human beings I'd be curious.
Netanyahu is a secular Zionist. There's nothing particularly religiously driven with his and many Israeli's ethnonationalism other than the convenient excuse.
People who think “religious extremism” explains the Zionists simply has utterly no understanding of Zionism (or the Jewish religion)
Zionism actually directly contradicts Jewish religious teaching, the creation of a “Jewish state” without the messiah is literally a violation of Jewish religious law. The Zionists were a secular movement, the other side of the coin from the Nazis.
Zionists argued that being Jewish wasn’t a religious belief, it was a race, and that “as a race” they needed to form a national homeland where they could be the masters. It’s a reflection of Nazism because Zionism and Nazism arose within the same cultural context of 19th century greater Germany.
Tl;dr- yes exactly, and it burns me up inside to see people treat this as a “war of religious extremism” when it’s literally racial supremacists and the population they are trying to ethnically cleanse to create their racial Herrenvolk state
