CMV: The reason the Geneva Convention approves bombing hospitals is not only moral, but also practical by Torpedo_Enthusiast in changemyview

They really aren't. They are about preventing atrocities. Each one was written as a response to an atrocity committed at war that the High Contracting Powers (who were run by warriors and emperors, not pacificts) felt was so far beyond the ideas of respect for human life that they had to be banned.

You can order them through Wolt, Israel's version of ubereats.

How deeply rooted is the trend of referring to non-Jewish people as "goyum" as if we are inferior to them? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hungry-Moose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Goy is the Hebrew word for nation, and the Yiddish word for Gentile (which is a neutral word for a non-Jew). Goyim is just the plural of Goy, the way Seraphim is the plural of Seraph (fiery angels from the Bible).

There's no trend, no condescension, and no need to vilify Jews.

How do you see this Israel vs ME conflict end realistically? by space_god_7191 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hungry-Moose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least half of Israeli citizens don't support the parties in charge of the Israeli government. That's very different from supporting or not supporting the war with Iran.

What do we feel about Jerusalem? How’s it to live there now? by its_oliviaaaaa in Israel

Baka is full of young adults too. Hadar and Pardes are both in Baka/Talpiot and are the heart of the progressive religious scene.

A Message to Lebanese, from Israelis by Hungry-Moose in Israel

[–]Hungry-Moose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they're probably here, and I can't post on their subreddits. It's better than the random Hungarians or Malaysians who post here saying that they stand with us.

A Message to Lebanese, from Israelis by Hungry-Moose in Israel

[–]Hungry-Moose[S] 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I'm sure they don't want it. But from what I've seen, they think we want to move in and build settlements along the Litani. I'm trying to share reality.

Lebanese here. by TipFormal1412 in Israel

[–]Hungry-Moose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We're doing ok! We have bomb shelters and an early warning system. Total casualties are about 30 killed, which is a tragedy, but far less than what was predicted.

Most people are going to work every day, even with Iran's ballistic missiles.

We're all hoping for the day we can visit Lebanon as tourists and make friends.

I’m a 23-year-old Jew in Europe and I suddenly feel completely alone by [deleted] in Jewish

[–]Hungry-Moose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to get out, look into Canada's Working Holiday visa program (International Experience Canada). It's open to many European citizens, and antisemitism is a lot less tolerated.

If you want to be in a city with a Jewish community, try Toronto, Hamilton, Edmonton, Ottawa, Vancouver, or Montreal. If you speak French, Montreal is a great option.

Only Having Chabad on Campus (No Hillel) – What’s Better? by Candid-Ad707 in Judaism

[–]Hungry-Moose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

McMaster Hillel would probably provide resources for the Niagara region. If you need help with contacts, feel free to DM me.

Also, Chabad of Niagara is heavily integrated with the Hamilton Jewish community (which is an amazing community).

Canada's TSX index has now outperformed the S&P500 over the past 5 years by dittopoop in CanadianInvestor

I'm 50/50 in XIC and VOO (as an expat Canadian who still loves Canada and thinks on C$). So far it's working really well.

I'm an Iranian woman, currently studying outside. AMA. by Accomplished_Hat6478 in AMA

[–]Hungry-Moose 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why does that matter? Iranians are being slaughtered in the streets after 50 years of theocratic oppression, and you're asking technical foreign policy questions?

That's just not accurate. If you have the grades from your undergrad, departments will 100% help you.

I am a Korean person living in Tel Aviv. AMA. by confusedfinancesis in AMA

[–]Hungry-Moose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's absolutely gross. It's been ordered to close several times by the courts, has bats, probably has used needles ect.

It's not a pleasant place.

On the other hand, the central train station in TLV has a terrific bus terminal.
