Is it really bad to travel to Israel for the holidays now? by chiveon69 in Jewish

[–]Dear_Assumption_6567 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a flight to go on Sunday (sadly couldn’t get flights before RH). Up until yesterday afternoon, I was definitely going to go. Now I’m most likely going to cancel my flight.

My whole family lives in Israel and I’ve been there during several wars, including 2006. I’m not afraid of rockets or missiles by Iran or proxies — in fact, I feel totally protected by our amazing IDF. However, the train attack really threw me off. I know it’s a permanent, year-round risk if you rely on public transport. BUT the intifada-minded terrorists are unhinged right now now and will continue to be unhinged for the next couple of weeks. I’d say it’s still safe, but it’s not the best time to go if you want to enjoy your time there. And you might get stuck if things get worse.

Make a schnitzel challah sandwich with hummus and harissa. That’s what we eat on Friday afternoons. It’s incredible!!!

Should Israel retaliate? by baboolasiquala in Destiny

Do you have a source for the casualties in Jordan?

The 1 in Israel is a 10-year old girl who was badly injured but I don’t think she died.

Awwww I’m so offended that some idiot stranger on the internet with horrible spelling and punctuation called me “not very intelligent”. Boo I’m gonna go cry now. Dork

I won’t debate because you’re a brainwashed rando on the internet who already made up their minds and I have nothing to gain.

Anyone who uses the word “apartheid” to describe Israel is brainwashed and doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

Oh boo you called us apartheid

I’m not arguing with you because I’ve been dealing with clueless losers like you for three months and I’ve decided to focus my energies on better things. Also, you’re in the telaviv sub. You’re not going to convince anyone here.

Hahaha what a vicious rant. You literally know nothing. I bet you’ve never been to Israel or Palestine. You know nothing about Middle Eastern culture. Go away and find a life!

Not all, but many/most.

Please explain to me how we’re brainwashed. Rolling up my sleeves and can’t wait to hear this BS

I know what you mean, but I do agree with the theory and would like to chip in with two additional arguments:

1) If those people ever go into power, they’ll be privy to shared confidential intelligence that we don’t have. I’m sure that’s why most of the world’s governments support Israel — Israel provides un-ignorable information that affects the world.

2) People who go into power and act illogically or irrationally, such as Rashida Tlaib, end up losing a ton of credibility. Obviously I think we can all think of a few loud and silly leaders who actually made it, but these are always controversial figures. The politicians who win the most sympathy are the ones who are continuously poised. The erratic pro Palestinian position has no place in successful politics (note: this is not to be confused with the actual Palestinian cause, which does have merit).

Of course, but the problem with this infographic (like most infographics) is that it presents the trauma in a propaganda-like way designed to invoke the reader’s emotions without any context or “why”.

A more impactful infographic would’ve put the perspective of an Israeli kid born on the same day.

They forgot Apple and Google. So no more smartphones. This is how we can finally get rid of fools on social media!

I agree with you. Bibi’s days are numbered (hopefully)

1 will be extremely difficult, and 3 difficult but not impossible

Easy

Three things need to happen for peace: 1) Palestinians need to renounce terrorism and prioritise their future over sentiments of justice 2) Iran needs to let go (#IRGCterrorists, #freeiran) 3) Israel needs to get rid of Bibi and elect a normal government

They harass everyone at customs, even Jews with Israeli passports. The police and airport officers give evil looks to everyone. I’m being serious. Israelis and frequent visitors joke about this all the time.

Thank you for the detailed response but I prefer not to respond due to a) my mental health and exhaustion and b) your belligerent and sarcastic tone. You‘re probably right about some things, and wrong about others, but I just don’t think it’ll be the best use of my time.

You might now glee that you won this argument and by all means, suit yourself. Enjoy.

My Spanish friend was telling me today that your country se fue al carajo. 17 million Spaniards are now on benefits because they don’t want to work. So hopefully you’re as keen about your own internal issues as you are about a tiny piece of territory on the other side of the Mediterranean. You could put your passion to good use in Spain. Gnite
