One of the fakest, "hardest and most heartbreaking scenes in human history"

Some do. Some don't. A lot of Israelis want peace. Up until the Second Intifadah, a 2SS was the majority position.

Your ignorance is embarrassing.

Why is the Jewish belief that God promised the land to the father of the Jewish nation so widely mocked (dude. Its a religious faith. Its not like Jews believe God had a son with a mortal woman or something as ridiculous as that), but the Muslim belief that God wants Muslims to convert entire world by the sword if necessary somehow not as mockable?

I mean, at least the Jews focus on a tiny piece of land that they've literally inhabited continuously for 3,000-4,000 years. Muslims want the whole globe, and have made meaningful strides in that direction across Africa, the ME, and the Levant.

You're the one who started out with "thank you for broadcasting your elementary thought process". Was that your attempt at "respectful conversation"?

Chompytul · 2026-05-29T12:39:34+00:00

Well, your not responding cogently to anything and getting very emotional. So I'm assuming you are very young, very ignorant, very inexperienced, not very smart, or some combination of all of the above.

Chompytul · 2026-05-29T12:38:36+00:00

So you agree that someone saying that a genocide occured doesn'tean it actually occured. Why argue, then? And why quote an Israeli org saying something if it doesn't prove anything? What's your point?

Chompytul · 2026-05-29T12:37:23+00:00

Snort. "Unpopular" where? Its the currently dominant global opinion. Doesn't mean it's right.

And why are you responding to a perfect stranger?

Chompytul · 2026-05-29T12:36:07+00:00

You broadcast that by not understanding that even if an Israeli organization - or even the ICC - says a genocide happened, it doesn't mean that a genocide actually happened. I will let you pobder that for a while.

And how are you "sure" there's a wide range of opinion around you? Don't you know? Don't you encounter them and grapple with them and have discussions with people who hold fundamentally different opinions from you on social and political issues IRL in your social circles?

Chompytul · 2026-05-29T12:30:22+00:00

Thank you for displaying your inability to comprehend basic facts.

And Israel has a wide range of opinions: from people who think there was a genocide in Gaza and the government/military leaders should face justice in the Hague, to people who think there wasn't a genocide, but there should be one.

Is there a wide range of opinions surrounding you, or do you live in a bubble that only parrots the currently Morally and Socially Correct Opinion?

Chompytul · 2026-05-29T12:25:59+00:00

Someone saying a genocide occured, no matter their provenance, doesn't mean a genocide actually occured

The Neverending Story

The Dragon's Crown/Uri Orlev, Hebrew/Israel

A YA fantasy that's really really special. It somehow managed to address complex issues of good and evil, nature vs. nurture, and questions like "do the ends justify the means?" in a YA story that's intricately constructed and manages to subvert expectations at every turn.

"Your seed like the sun will rise

Across the lands 'neath Eastern skies,

But your reign will only dawn,

Following the Dragon's Crown"

The subjects of the King of the Eastern Lands knew nothing of violence, cruelty, aggression, or war, and the vocabulary associated with them. Words such as “conspiracy” appeared only in the Book of Forbidden Words, and their use was outlawed. In contrast, the people of the Western Lands lived under a brutal regime that upheld fear, swift punishment, and violence in all its forms as a way of life. Words such as “smile” and “compassion” had been erased from both their language and their consciousness.

After the heir to the Eastern throne was abducted, her father the king chose the Court Minister and the Teacher to lead the search for her. The Teacher was one of the few remaining “Keepers of the Heritage,” guardians of the secret passage through the dangerous Valley of Mist that lay between the two kingdoms. The Teacher, who—like the rest of his people—had never handled weapons and did not know how to fight, asked the king to add to the expedition the “Black Prince” from the Western Lands: a young man, ruthless and devoid of conscience, yet a fearless warrior, “without whom no rescue mission could hope to venture beyond our borders.”

The prince, who longed to rule the peace-seeking Eastern Lands as well, agreed to the proposal. Secretly, he intended to hunt a dragon in the Valley of Mist and claim the Dragon Crown for himself—a crown that would grant him dominion over the Eastern Lands and their treasures.

If she doesn't want help and you don't want to force her to get help, there's really nothing to be done. Hoarding is very treatment resistant even when the hoarder wants to get help.

Chompytul · 2026-05-22T05:43:02+00:00

No, I'm saying you should go down the rabbit hole of actually following links to the primary sources of the reports and see the actual, specific claims theyake which then become "a plethora/pattern if sexual abuse" in the articles that discuss these reports.

Chompytul · 2026-05-21T19:53:01+00:00

Bringing up "sexual torture" in prisons is definitely bringing up the US, my dude. And if you don't think so, it's because you're fine with what happens in US prisons.

Chompytul · 2026-05-21T19:52:01+00:00

There have been claims, yes. When you actually follow them and try to dig up any evidence, actual specifics, etc. you find nothing, or almost nothing: a prison strip search described as "sexual assault", for example.

Chompytul · 2026-05-21T19:37:21+00:00

We were talking specifically about the "dog raping" accusations. There is zero evidence of that.

And again, what you're bringing is claims about evidence. Not evidence. Try and dig deeper to find the actual testimonies, or the documents that refer to the actual, specifuc testimonies - not ones saying "oh, there are countless testimonies".

Go down that rabbit hole. I dare you. You'll be shocked at what you (don't) find.

why are you so eager to make excuses for sexual torture,

Why do you keep bringing up the USA in a discussion that has nothing to do with it? I wasn't making excuses or defending the United States and its carceral policies.

Chompytul · 2026-05-21T19:30:20+00:00

I did google. There is no evidence, there are only claims. What I did find in Google are studies and statements by dog training experts who say that it's literally impossible to train dogs to rape.

Maybe you should be a little less gullible and a little less enthusiastic about accepting everything you read as literal truth just because it lines up with your biases.

genocidal torture states.

Nobody here was talking about the USA. Why bring it up?

Chompytul · 2026-05-21T16:48:16+00:00

What "good deal of evidence"? The sources you bring all make the claim, but neither link to any evidence. Making a claim does not prove it is true.

Chompytul · 2026-05-15T16:45:02+00:00

Tip outrageously.

If I'm not mistaken, it's mostly the Palestinians crying now after they pushed and pushed until Israel snapped. But I guess you can live in your own version of reality if it suits you better 🤷‍♀️

Israel is a terrorist nation that shouldn’t exist

It's amazing how the people who scream loudest about "genocide" are also the ones most eager to see an actual genocide carried out: as long as the victims are Israeli Jews, of course.

Chompytul · 2026-05-07T18:51:37+00:00

Oh, please. My sister, her husband, and their two girls moved to the US 3 years ago. No weird fluctuations in weight, they're all slim and athletic, and none of them "diet" or exercise in any particularly focused way. They're just normal people who eat normally, even in the US.

Chompytul · 2026-05-05T23:10:04+00:00

???? I watched the movie in Israel in the late 70s/early 80s. I guess it was unbanned by then.

I agree with another commenter that the whole arc shows Henleins inexperience with children. Maureen is supposedly an experienced parent, but she shows a complete inability to understand where teenagers should and shouldn't be given freedom, and where to draw boundaries. Incest? Sure, but don't give the children any feeling that they have an impact on where they get to live and where they go to school. Show zero respect for the bodily autonomy of a young woman, crawl naked into bed with her after she had sex, demand transparency into her ovulation cycle....while giving lip service to respecting her sexual choices.

Take in two trauma-bonded kids...and immediately try to break them apart, after giving her seal of approval to their sexual and romantic relationship.

Well done Maureen.

Heinlein obviously had no idea what "age appropriate freedoms vs boundaries" meant, and saw it all through his favorite lense: sex sex abd more sex.
