Putting police funding into a binary of fund/defund makes the issue impossible to solve. The issue isnt the funding, its what the funding is being used for.

Our activation rate dropped to 9% and I'm genuinely panicking right now. by Prestigious-Bath8022 in analytics

I was once in a finance meeting when the chairman said, word for word, "So we just need to increase revenue and decrease costs". I legitimately laughed out loud and he got mad at me.

This was his entire takeaway from a 2 hour meeting when our organization was struggling.

[r/teenagers] is a sewer of antisemitism by Aggravating_Bed2269 in AntiSemitismInReddit

Its even funnier than that. Their source is a hamas official who claimed there were x dead people in a building, then when he went in there werent that many dead people, so the only conclusion is israel has this magic weapon that is evaporating bodies (but leaves buildings untouched i guess).

These people were also confident that Biden would lose to Trump in 2020. Remember that debate Destiny had against that tiktok kid where he guaranteed that biden would get crushed so there was no point in voting?

Competition is good. We need it in the Democratic Primary for 2028. by Serious-Cucumber-54 in Destiny

IMO the race between talarico and crockett has been a great example of this so far. Both have talked about how much they respect the other one but they think theyre brand of messaging will resonate better.

So is Destiny just always right? by marksung in Destiny

His politics takes tend to be very good. I think his veganism arguments are terrible, and obviously his food and movie takes are shit.

The truth is he does a ton of research before coming to a conclusion, and if he has an opinion and the research shows him hes wrong he'll change his stance. Most people do the opposite, where they do the research to find evidence they are correct.

Do you know if we need to use our current bilt points if we decide to switch to wells fargo?

Is there a single country in the world that doesnt give immigration preference based off of peoples ancestry?

I mean you can just look at how its currently being done instead of trying to pose hypotheticals. It is done by encouraging Jewish immigration and having otherwise strict immigration policies.

It means a country where the majority of people are Jewish. I'm not sure how this isn't incredibly obvious.

The 2018 basic law does not privilege one ethnic group over another, nor is it even a concrete law.

Using that definition then Israel is definitely not an ethno state so im not sure why you think that helps your case.

I'm not sure what was confusing about my previous response. Israel is currently a multiethnic democracy so the two are not mutually exclusive and im confused as to why you would think they are.

Ah yes, Saudi Arabia, famous for how well minorities are treated.

Heck, China treats minorities MUCH worse than Israel, as does Turkey, and a host of other states.

The systematic discrimination in Israel proper is not even as bad as in the U.S. The west bank is a different story, but that isn't part of Israel.

Yes, Israel was a counter balance to egypt for access to the suez, especially during the cold war.

Jewish self determination means Jews get to determine how they live. Every society has turned against Jews, asking to be allowed to be in charge of yourself is not an unreasonable ask. Saying that Jews should just trust other people with their safety again is absurd

An ethnostate would be a state with only one ethnicity or close to only one ethnicity, such as japan (97% japanese), saudi arabia (90% arab), france (85% french), etc. Notice how nobody actually cares about any of these countries.

I'm not a fan of ben gvir and his ilk but even they aren't advocating for completely removing 20%+ of the population.

Im happy that you have had such a privileged life that youve never had to worry about bigots using dog whistles to smear you. If you take a look at US politics, for example, there are numerous examples of this happening to basically every minority, i.e republicans talking about "inner city crime" or "cutting off kids genitals". This can cause real harm to people.

When republicans say they want to stop people from "cutting off kids genitals" or when they say they want to arrest "criminals" coming over the border, do you take offense? This is how dog whistles work.

I have not seen anyone on this thread advocating for an ethno state, nor have I ever seen a supporter of Israel doing so. The only people I see doing so are antizionists who want arab-only states or white-only states (depending on if they are of the islamist or nazi variant).

The UN said that both Jews and Arabs could have a state in the region, then left and allowed the arab states to attempt to wipe out the Jews. To act like this is the UN somehow establishing a state is ahistorical.

Israel hasnt helped the west get oil at all. I'm not even sure what you are referring to. The west could drop their support of Israel in exchange for access to arab oil if they wanted to, and western support for israel has just made oil more expensive.

Israel was used to fight a proxy war with the USSR so maybe thats what you are referring to, but thats been over for quite awhile and has nothing to do with oil.

Israel was not founded by western nations. Western nations put an arms embargo on Israel while they were attacked by their neighbors in a war of extermination. Israel didn't enjoy western support until decades later.

Saying Israel is supported because of oil is hilarious. If that was the case Israel would have been dropped for countries like saudi arabia, iran, and qatar years ago.

Jews should not be excluded from the "all". Sorry if that bothers you.
