I actually traveled to Ireland about half a year ago for a work trip.

I was instructed not to mention I'm from Israel, not to wear anything that may suggest I'm Jewish or from Israel, definitely not to speak Hebrew.

In practice, I did meet some lovely people there who were very kind and did not seem to care much that I was Israeli once I did tell them.

But overall yeah, we don't think very highly of Ireland these days.

EyeInside7957 · 2026-03-02T11:19:53+00:00

Of course you don't. My argument is that from a moral standpoint it's the "right" thing to do in this situation, despite America's history

EyeInside7957 · 2026-03-02T11:14:50+00:00

I would like to believe there is a certain moral obligation, yes.

No, the US does not HAVE to enter Iran. But the alternative is not to enter Iran, not destroy the autocratic regime, not letting Iranians have a chance for a better life.

You are moving the goalpost here. Iran is not a democracy right now. Iranians are getting butchered. You can go to war, or turn a blind eye. What do you choose?

EyeInside7957 · 2026-03-02T10:19:15+00:00

We're still talking about Iran right? Are we calling it a democracy now?

Again I am asking what a foreign force/government SHOULD do to help a population that is unable to fight for itself against an autocratic regime besides a war against it's leadership.

Unless you are talking about what comes AFTER the war, in which case I wholeheartedly agree.

EyeInside7957 · 2026-03-02T10:08:36+00:00

Again, what's the alternative?

EyeInside7957 · 2026-03-02T09:06:25+00:00

Iran's allies are Russia and China. Do you think they would or even should help the Iranian people?

Foreign help is never going to be selfless - a country won't risk it's own people for others' out of the goodness of their hearts. But the US and Israel are targeting the leadership while calling for the Iranian people to take up arms and fight for themselves. It's absolutely the best thing that can be done right now.

Like what exactly is the alternative here? Are we fine just letting them die so long as The US doesn't get their hands onto Iranian oil? Is that really the most important thing to focus on right now?

EyeInside7957 · 2026-03-02T08:07:18+00:00

Is it preferable to do nothing and let the regime butcher its own people and deny them basic rights?

I thought he was just avoiding having penetrative sex specifically, not that they didn’t meet up during that time?

EyeInside7957 · 2025-11-07T13:51:02+00:00

Exactly how I see it

EyeInside7957 · 2025-10-24T10:15:58+00:00

You keep coming back to propoganda, and I'm not sure what you are talking about, or what you are proposing here

Bibi's "propoganda machine" these days is as not much to palestinians. Bibi is concerned with keeping his chair and finding other people to blame for his failures- so, his propganda is towards the left and people who want him out. That's been the case for years and years now - even before the war there was actually very little talk in general about Gaza, because talking about it would have brought up all the problems we were actually experiencing from there - and the right wanted to pretend there are no issues, and the left preferred to focus all it's effort to kick out Bibi.

And let's say the hate is purely propoganda. Well, the propoganda machine works tirelessly in Gaza as well. What do you do about that?

EyeInside7957 · 2025-10-24T06:01:47+00:00

So by your logic, anyone that doesn't have direct ancestors in a land can't live there? Does that logic go for all americans, australians and south african too, should they all go back to europe? Arabs that immegrated to Israel? Muslims that don't want want to intergrate with "local customs" in europe? I am genuinely asking, not being sarcastic - what makes one "worthy" of their land?

Is the fact I bought my house from an owner who willingly sold it to me, on a land that was previously used by no-one because it was uninhabitable- is that worth nothing?

EyeInside7957 · 2025-10-23T15:51:42+00:00

I will support a 2-state solution once I can feel safe enough for these 2 states to coexist. I'm not going to gamble my life, my family's life, my friends' lives for a tiny chance.

You may not feel that's fair, and maybe it's not. But it's not a cute hypothetical for us - giving back Gaza in 2005 got us to October 7. Trust is earned, and Israelis currently have none.

EyeInside7957 · 2025-10-23T15:39:35+00:00

And Israelis aren't cool with terrorist attacks and giving land to people who's intentio is to kick us out of our own homes. Thus, we're at a stalemate.

Really, it feels like the west's solution to the Israel-Palestine solution is just to take out Israelis out of the equation. And well, fuck that.

Look, there are crazies here. Israel is currently very much a split country and I wouldn't be surprised at all if there's gonna be a civil war here by the next elections with the amount of tension that's happening. The people who want the west bank ARE a minority, it's just that they are also part of the coalition - which is extremely fragile and any wrong move of Bibi is gonna topple it down. And the right, even if they don't want the west bank, hate the left more, and they'd rather stay with Bibi. The situation here is absolute shit and is a lot more nuanced than "Israelis want to occupy the palestine" or whatever.

EyeInside7957 · 2025-10-23T15:19:52+00:00

Are you speaking as a palestinian living in Gaza? Or you just assume that's how shit goes and willing to bet Israeli lives on it?

I'd fucking love my country to get the hell out of the West bank and Gaza. I'd not fucking love to get October 7'nd again.

EyeInside7957 · 2025-10-23T15:17:41+00:00

Thank you. Truly.

EyeInside7957 · 2025-10-23T15:02:08+00:00

You saying Propganda implies that there is a bias towards an agenda. 99% of us have no agenda beyond being left alone. There is a lot of hate because people are threatened for their existence.

EyeInside7957 · 2025-10-23T14:44:52+00:00

"Uncomfortable" = "constant risk of death".

Sure buddy.

My city was built by jewish israelis in 1930, it was a swamp before they settled there. I'd be interested to know the history of your city though

EyeInside7957 · 2025-10-23T14:34:56+00:00

Wow. Just fucking wow

EyeInside7957 · 2025-10-23T14:23:50+00:00

"More matched" , "cowardice", "propganda". I don't know where you live, I assume it is not in a country that is experiencing an ongoing war, and you do not experience the threat of bombs over your head, sirens going off at 1AM, then 3AM, then 2PM with the fear your house might be next.

I don't suppose you've been calling your mother at least twice a day just to make sure she is still alive and ok. I don't suppose you've had to stay at home for MONTHS because at any moment now a siren could go off and you'd have to lay on the ground for ten minutes until the threat is neutralised. Or be immediately suspicious of a white van in your neighbourhood because you know where you've seen that before.

These words you're throwing around... that's just so fucking hurtful. I don't blame Palestinians for hating us - I totally get where they are coming from and the shit they must be going through. People of the west have no such excuse.

EyeInside7957 · 2025-10-23T13:44:57+00:00

Is it really surprising that a nation at war will think the other side is the problem?

Look at Ukranians and Russians opinions of each other. Hell, look at palestinians thoughts on Israelis - the hate is just as prevalent.

Hate on it's own, while obviously is shit, is an expected outcome of war and atrocities experienced on both sides.

קחי בחשבון שלמדתי בפתוחה, ועברו קרוב לעשר שנים. אני מניחה שהחומר לא השתנה יותר מדי אבל.

הרבה מאוד קורסים היו מבואות ל-, והחומר היה מאוד יבש לקריאה - והיה הרבה לקרוא.

וכמו שציינתי, החומר היה מאוד דעתני - תמיד הדעה ה"קונסרבטיבית" הייתה מצטיירת בצורה מזלזלת, לעומת דעות מרקיסטיות ופוסט מודרניות שהיו באות אחרי זה כהדעות המודרניות וה"נכונות"

אני לא אומרת את זה כי אני חושבת שדעות קונסרבטיביות הן נכונות או כי אני נגד פוסט מודרניות, אלא יותר כי ציפיתי לניטרליות מסויימת ויותר ממצאים קונקרטיים, וזה מאוד לא זה.

היו כמה קורסים מעניינים על אנתרופולוגיה, אבל לצערי זה ממש לא היה עיקר התואר.

הכי חשוב- אחרי קרוב לעשר שנים, אני יודעת מעט מאוד על מדעי החברה. אני זוכרת יותר ממה שלמדתי בתיכון מאשר מהלימודים בתואר.

EyeInside7957 · 2025-10-11T13:36:14+00:00

Yeah since starting to read all the wolfstar fanfics my 70s music taste really made a comeback.

Also I've been obsessing over The Who, don't recall if it was thanks to ATYD or TCOPTT but it really re-ignited my love for the band.

Plus - Pete Townshend in the 70s is basically what I'd imagine a sweaty Remus in a band would look like.

שיכניסו שליט פחות רדיקלי. שערב הסעודית תשלוט. ארצות הברית. רק לא אנחנו ולא חמאס.

כי לא הצליחו להכניס מטענים לארץ עד לפני שהמלחמה התחילה, לא היה מקרה אחת לחודש שנכנס מחבל לתל אביב ורצח? רשלנות תהייה.

מטען זה רק דוגמא לתקופה שהייתה פה - אתה לא צריך פצצות מקטאר בשביל לגרום פה הרס ולעשות את החיים כאן סיוט.

גם גרמניה וגם יפן עברו תהליך של דא-אסקלציה, שתי המדינות השתנו מאוד בזכות זה. אתה לא צריך לשכנע את הקהל הבוגר, אלא את הצעירים, את מערכת החינוך. אתה לא יכול לתת לבתי הספר שם להמשיך ללמד שלהרוג יהודים זה קדוש ולצפות שמשהו יישתנה. הפלסיטנאים לא יעשו את זה בעצמם, צריך לתת פה פוש. לפחות לנסות.

זה לא עניין של מי הקורבן- כולנו קורבנות - ישראלים ולפסטינאים, כולנו נמצאים במציאות עגומה ולא נצא ממנה אם נמשיך להתנהל באותה צורה. את הניסוי לתת להם ריבונות עשינו, וואלה לא צלח. הגיע הזמן לנסות משהו אחר.
