Something gross about signs and metro announcements going "beware of pickpockets". Just a passive acceptance that people trying to rob you is a fact of life, like encountering a bear in the woods, and not trying to do anything about it

Bibi is now talking about dodging future sanctions with "crypto and the blockchain". I think it's safe to say at this point he's genuinely just a demented boomer who has no idea what he's talking about

Often said by secular doomers that Jerusalem is the preview of the country's future - massive haredi demographic growth, leading to secular flight, leading to the entire city being a theocratic shithole that sucks more state funding than it gives back in taxes
Jerusalem is an unproductive dump that is kept alive by massive amount of state support. The GDP is coming out of the Tel Aviv tech companies, not Jerusalem yeshivot

I really do not understand how this can be true walking around Jerusalem with all empty storefronts, unaffordable cost of living, un/under-employment, massive spend on pointless construction projects & most importantly, cost of wars, with tech sector down and massive layoffs:

It is interesting that throughout this whole war the Israeli Arabs have not been galvanized to violence like the 2021 events. I don't really have a solid theory for why this is

I know solidly about Nemakščiai (🇱🇹) and Dzhuryn (🇺🇦). In the former the Jews were eradicated during Einsatzgruppen's 'holocaust by bullets', the latter were slightly more fortunate to 'just' be a ghetto. My ancestors in both left before the war. Thanks Zionism
Which town, city, or shtetl are your grandparents or great-grandparents from? From either side.

Same with "there are more X than atoms in the universe"
I feel like i'm constantly hearing scientists describe things as "hotter than the surface of the sun." Maybe the sun just isn't that hot

Based and Rabbi Ishmael-pilled
The Jews literally claimed an angel temporarily ascended to the level of God, just to bypass Jesus’ fulfillment of prophecy.

From an October 1988 paper - Jews defending the ban going "there's enough antisemitism, especially now with the intifada, and we're already blamed for killing Jesus, we don't need to offend Christians more now". Guess hasbara never changes
Fun fact - 'The Last Temptation of Christ' was initially banned in Israel to not offend the Christian Arab community, and only the following year was this overruled by the Supreme Court

The system as it currently stands is the state funds these parasite schools that not only don't teach secular subjects but also actively indoctrinate them against the state, and then gets mad when they refuse to enlist or be productive
Hey what the fuck do you mean in haredi schools in Israel, they don’t learn, like actual school things. Religious education is important, yes, but how can you have it and not teach things like math and science?! Let alone English?

The idea that killing people who are actively robbing or intruding you is justified is one of the oldest obvious natural moral laws and only modern lib ethics could have an issue with it
My position on lethal force in the looting context is that unless the government (i.e. taxpayers) want to step in and say they are going to cover all damages and losses, then it should absolutely be legal to use lethal force to stop looting, at least for individual proprietors and such. When you destroy someone's shop or loot it, you are stealing all the time it took for them to build it, or the time and effort it will take to replace it. In extreme cases, you may have ruined them financially. It could be years of their life, just gone. That should absolutely be grounds for lethal force to prevent. Fuck looters.

A go-to example of this for me is the Philippine–American War. The 🇵🇭 rebels didn't have any kind of international support and, lo and behold, all the guerilla tactics and hiding in jungles did not defeat the US military
Guerrilla warfare isn't really as effective as many people think it is.

I will say, Israelis aren't entirely justified in feeling all smug about how Europeans handle troublemakers. Yes we're tough on extetnal enemies, but internally we are just as cucked on crime. There entire Arab towns that are "no go zones" and are ruled by armed gangs

Or another matter - say the next government goes all in on actually drafting haredim, leading to an all out nationwide haredi chimpout. What will the police do exactly?

The Gaza Strip is a territory that has never been integrated in a modern nation state technically. Egypt never annexed it so since 1949 Gazans have been stateless
From 1948 to 1967, the Arabs had total control over Gaza and the West Bank. Why wasn't the State of Palestine created in this period?

Do tīrthikas ever feel stressed that maybe that guy really showed them the path to true enlightenment
Do jews ever feel stressed that maybe that guy really was the messiah

Likud is back to the "let's have unity guys peace and love 🥺", which I think strengthens suspicions the goal is to have a unity government with Eisenkot

One time in Milan there was this small pro-🇺🇦 gathering and some Arab guy walking by sneered "palestina libera" at them. They really have this weird bitterness towards anyone caring about Ukraine
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
None of this is inherently Zionist. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism

What normally happens to these kind of rioters in France who actually get arrested? Do they just get released after a night in jail or are there actual proceedings?
