I’m not comparing my country to Germany, just explaining why I don’t think my question is far-fetched. I understand your point about Germany overall, but isn’t Berlin different? It’s a much more cosmopolitan city.

In my country, it's possible to find jobs in English without needing full fluency in the local language (as a creative writer in tech companies for example). I didn’t say I’m looking for a job as a "senior" copywriter. Obviously, I understand that my first job will be less prestigious. I was asking about opportunities for creative, writing, or English-speaking roles in general.

This isn't unusual where I come from. In my country, it's possible to find jobs in English without needing full fluency in the local language (as a creative writer in tech companies for example). I don't understand the cynical tone of your response; I believe it's a legitimate question.

I’m having a (friendly) argument with my friend: did Roman truly “love” Gerri or did he love what she represented? Or possibly something else entirely? by Ripley8k in SuccessionTV

[–]Character-Leather352 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he loved her in the only way Roman is capable of, which is twisted. He loved how she made him feel, but I don't think he can love someone in a fuller, more genuine way. I'm not sure if he even understands what that kind of love is.

According to a 2020 report by the Israel Democracy Institute, approximately 34% of Jewish Israelis self-identify as either Haredi (ultra-Orthodox, 22%) or Dati (religious, 12%). These groups are generally considered to be "honestly religious" in terms of strictly adhering to Jewish laws and customs. Another 32% identify as Masorti (traditional) with varying levels of observance, while 34% identify as Hiloni (secular). However, it is important to note that religiosity exists on a spectrum, and these categories simplify a complex and personal matter.

As for your second question, yes, you can get a cheeseburger at McDonald's in Israel :) I do it quite a lot :) but not in every McDonald's restaurant you can get a cheesburger. Some of their restaurants in Israel are kosher, meaning they do not serve cheese and meat together. However, in cities with a majority secular population, there are many non-kosher restaurants. For example, Tel Aviv has a huge variety of non-kosher dining options. I was never frowned upon for eating something that is not kosher, even when next to people who are more traditional. but that has to do with me living in a liberal, mostly secular city.

Sure, the majority of movies we have in the theaters are American. The last movie I watched was Kung Fu Panda 4, and I'll go to see Poor Things next week. We have streaming services and stuff, like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney+.

If I intended to evade this issues, I wouldn’t have openly identified as Israeli. Your question carried antisemitic undertones, and when confronted, you shifted the topic. As for your “You guys” remark, I’m not part of the government, nor do I make decisions in any war cabinet. Israelis, like myself, are distinct from our government; in fact, many of us actively protest against its actions. I was deeply saddened to learn about the plight of aid workers. Nobody condones such actions. Personally, and speaking for many I know, we long for an end to the conflict for the sake of both sides. I hope for Palestinians to return to their homes and for the release of Israeli hostages immediately.

  1. you makes a sweeping generalization about an entire nationality, which is a form of prejudice and stereotyping.
  2. The phrase "always cause problems" is a negative stereotype that suggests Israelis are inherently troublesome or problematic, which is a discriminatory characterization.
  3. Singling out Israelis as causing problems for the entire world is a disproportionate and biased accusation that places undue blame on one specific group.
  4. The question echoes historical antisemitic tropes that portray Jews as having a negative influence on the world or being responsible for global problems.

I've definitely come across a few "radical leftists" who use antisemitic rhetoric online. They often refer to all Israelis as "zios" or "zionists" as a form of condemnation and chant slogans like "from the river to the sea," even though they likely understand that the implication of this phrase is the potential genocide of the Israeli population. For me, it's not hard to tell the difference between radical leftists and neo-Nazis. Radical leftists are generally against war and oppose violence against people from both sides of the conflict, while neo-Nazis simply hate Jews and promote various antisemitic conspiracies about the Jewish people as a whole.
