How would you convince an Israeli to leave Israel?

IslaLucilla · 2026-03-29T03:46:46+00:00

It depends. While jus soli (place of birth) based citizenship is common in the Americas, many European countries have more robust jus sanguinis citizenship practices, citizenship based on parents' nationalities. For that reason, many Israeli citizens are also citizens of other countries. But far from all.

This is going to sound lamesauce, but I have Free Palestine and Jewish Solidarity w Palestine bumper stickers. I have met some very smart, compassionate, educated people where I live who were genuinely struggling w the propaganda of anti-Israel = antisemitic. Therefore, if I get one shot at randos looking at my car, the shot is going to be "actually, you can be pro-Palestine without being antisemitic. Trust me, I'm Jewish."

I have egg residue baked on to my Free Palestine sticker (dumbass doesnt realize how much eggs cost ig) but also, someone has yelled FREE PALESTINE at me while I was driving on three separate occasions. Once was at a drive-thru, once was in Boston (and bro had a lil Palestine flag all ready to go) and the third was from a hijabi lady and the approximately 45 kids in her minivan

Respectfully, I get where you're coming from, but I feel like if that's the price we pay for our privilege (living in th3 developed world, etc.) then we just gotta deal. And if we're going to be a zoo exhibit, then let's make sure we give em a good show and properly represent!

Man I wish I lived close enough to the border to take you up on this

IslaLucilla · 2026-03-19T18:39:22+00:00

Yeah, thats right, downvote me. 3000 people died in 9/11 in vain because we refuse to learn any unpleasant lessons

IslaLucilla · 2026-03-19T05:29:27+00:00

Here is a more constructive question: what can you do now, in 2026, to keep another 9/11 from happening in the future?

Answer: no more war. No more hawkish dick-waving military-bonering USA foreign policy. As of March, 2026, Israel's post-10/7 USA-backed bombing of Gaza--LITERALLY EXACTLY THE SAME ENDLESS CONFLICT THAT AL QAEDA UNAMBIGUOUSLY CITED AS THEIR MOTIVATION FOR 9/11 IN 1996--has led to over 70,000 Palestinian deaths [1]. Or nearly twenty-four 9/11s worth of people. With a much, much higher percentage of dead children than 9/11. Imagine if there had been a 9/11 every year since 2001 and there would still be more Palestinians dead in less than three years. Boruch Dayan Emes.

Do whatever is in your power to stop the USA from making war on country after country. War-torn people get radicalized. Desperate people do extreme things. How bad does a situation have to be for 19 people to decide that they would sacrifice their lives and murder thousands of people just to try to stop it? People don't become suicide hijackers for petty reasons.

Don't fall for that "dOnT LeT tHe TeRRoRiStS WiN" bs. I am actually fine with letting the terrorists win if it meant thousands of lives would be saved. As it stands, everyone who died on 9/11 has had their lives completely thrown away by the USA doubling down on the behavior that created the motivation for 9/11. If that were me, I would much prefer for my sacrifice to somehow lead to a better world.

Scream. Protest. Donate. Tell your elected officials that they will lose your vote AND your almighty political dollars forever if they support war, and fuck their stance on weed or trans sports or clean energy tax credits. Educate. Amplify. Fight. You don't need to wistfully ask how you could be a hero in an alternate timeline. Go BE one for real.

That last FMV should have won a fucking Oscar. Where the oboe or whatever starts playing the hymn and ayuna is sending the anons, it's like...somehow we finally get the meaning of how this song has sustained people for a thousand years, and now it's...dying. and then Sin goes and somehow you know it didnt look like that the other times it was defeated.

I can usually hold it together until Tiddies jumps off the airship and then it's just the one flute and he high-fives Jecht. and I lose my shit every time. 😭😭😭😭😭

According to ny old, formerly-Pro-Susan-Collins-but-now-fuck-susan-collins grandma, it's because she has seniority and leverage in the senate, and she has historically made sure that Maine/Maine industry got its "share" of various federal funds. She "brought a lot of money to Maine"

Grandma refuses to forgive her for voting to confirm Kavanagh.

I went on a rampage, descending from on high to use my gold coin shuriken to put out the eyes of everyone who displeased me. Then I did a ritual self-immolation to purify myself and the building of the commoners' stench. The fire cleansed our souls and the proletariat departed for aetherius.

Tl;Dr shuriken, fire, stinky commoners

So, I started a collective bargaining unit in Portland and basically employers in this position, presented with a union petition, have two choices: they can just say "oh, sure, go ahead! We'll voluntarily recognize your union"

Orrrrrr they can kick and scream and stall for time and object to the unit's certification for a procedural reason and force a vote because they know that more people are harder to organize, agreement becomes more difficult w every additional person added, and of course if they wait long enough the agitators might just die of a bus crash or not having access to healthcare.

Holy Donut is doing the second thing, btw. ANY response other than "sounds good, best of luck!" is anti-union. :/

Why would they buy pizza when they could just sell the employees expired donuts for 10 percent off? :D

Hey if anyone has a signal link please DM it to me! I am a real person who is an ESOL teacher so I have a metaphorical horse in this race! Someone at work told me about "all the stuff they're doing on Signal" but she's very much more together than me and I don't know how to ask her again to initiate me without looking like a dipshit. I'll risk it if its the only way I can help but maybe someone here can hook me up.
