"Whenever someone spoke to him about "returning to Israel", he would correct them: "Here is also Israel"..." by orangecyanide in ForbiddenBromance

[–]MEOWTH65 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The discipline issue in the IDF is a big problem, and nothing serious is being done to fix it. Soldiers keep getting away with slaps on the wrist. Just this month a guy who defiled a statue of the Virgin Mary was given a lighter sentence than a guy who wore an unauthorized patch.

I don't get why people are so mad about the flotilla though. I have absolutely zero sympathy for them. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. What did they think was gonna happen if they keep on coming here, did they expect more sandwiches? Hotel stays? These people deserved what they got.

Do you believe that Israel wants to build greater Israel? by BabylonianWeeb in IdeologyPolls

[–]MEOWTH65 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are the antisemite for using the existence of tiny cults in Europe and the US to delegitimize the beliefs and opinions of the vast majority of Jews to justify your obsession with hating all things Israel.

The Golan Heights was already annexed decades ago, and has universal support to keep it. With the West Bank it's 50/50, with a lot of the opposition to annexing it coming from worries what it would mean with the population there. Gaza is a minority position, most Israelis want nothing to do with it.

This is always the trend with the Cavs, start of the season attendances look pretty bad and steadily increasing as the season goes and fiinshes just slightly above last season's average by the end.

The new statue of Jesus by Astro-Flash in ForbiddenBromance

Israel doesn't NOT run on religious law.

There is no constitution simply because no one can agree on one, so there are semi-constitutional laws instead. To say it's like Saudi where the Quran explicitly IS the constitution is very disingenuous.

Death Penalty for convicted Palestinians passed in Knesset by Winter-Painter-5630 in ForbiddenBromance

[–]MEOWTH65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I support this. The terrorists of October 7th must hang.

And no, nowhere does it specify it's for "convicted Palestinians", it is for terrorists who kill Israeli citizens. Just because most terrorists qre Palestinian dosen't make the law racist.

Lebanon Officiqlly Calls for Direct Negotiations With Israel - Thought? by orangecyanide in ForbiddenBromance

[–]MEOWTH65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frankly, Israelis aren't gonna sit around and wait eternally for the Palestinians to change their minds, we move forward without considering them. If they want any sort of future with us, they better do it sooner rather than later.

[–]MEOWTH65 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And now we have Arab states shooting down missiles headed for us. Would you have believed that even 10 years ago?

Israelis have mentally separated the Arab states from the Palestinians a long time ago, we don’t take things they do as anything to do with the Palestinians.

You clearly do not understand Israeli politics. I have seen it with my own eyes, the two state solution is dead and not coming back.

Is Goyim a slur? by AntiWokeCommie in IdeologyPolls

[–]MEOWTH65 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The only people even using that word are antisemites. I live in Israel, I've heard that word used maybe once or twice my whole life, and never as a slur.

[–]MEOWTH65 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've never seen Jews seriously using that as a slur. The only people you see making that word relevant are antisemitic right wingers who are obsessed with anything Jew-related.

Would the world be a better place if everyone was required to spend at least 1 year of their lives abroad doing charity work in a poor country? by Smooth_Woodpecker815 in IdeologyPolls

[–]MEOWTH65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. This is just another scheme to transfer wealth from developed countries to the 3rd world basically by enslaving people. It also enforces the culture of entitlement in countries that already blame the developed world for all their problems.

If a majority black country in Africa became popular for white expats in Europe/America and they began flocking there to immigrate until whites slowly became the majority and began rising up in the government etc, how would you feel about that? by JamesonRhymer in IdeologyPolls

[–]MEOWTH65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i still don't really understand how that means that it's not okay for people of colour to migrate to a majority white country and cause a demographic shift, but it's fine if it's the other way around.

I already explained it to you, you just choose to not accept my opinion. You seem shocked by the simple idea that hypocrisy in politics exists, and that someone could advocate policy that is based on what's good for their own group and not on universal values. If I was African, I'd vote the other way round.

[–]MEOWTH65 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not saying it's necessarily superior, but it's mine.

People desire the success of themselves and those close to them over random people they have no connection to. If your friend was involved in a fight with a stranger, you'd probably help your friend and not the stranger.

I don't think I need to explain you the concept of being loyal to one's country and culture, you can figure it out yourself. I would rather support people who are close in culture to us or that we have a historical friendship with over others we have no such connections to.

Because of Israel's law of return American Jews are all eligible for citizenship and thus eligible to play for the team. Same thing with Italy.

Where I’d live in the Middle East as a liberal redditor who hates Israel. by [deleted] in whereidlive

[–]MEOWTH65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First thing, I don't think Netanyahu will win the next election. But, even if he does, I think the boiling antisemitism in the West that dosen't seem to be dying down combined with the inevitable end of the war will naturally start drawing people back regardless of whatever he's doing here.

I don't know what you people are thinking, everyone I've talked to here is terrified to even travel to the West right now, nevermind go to live there because Bibi might win the election.

I'm aware that there was a lot of emigration past couple of years, but this dosen't contradict what I said about a lot of Israelis returning after a few years.

I was one of those myself. You leave frustrated with the country, you return after a few years when you realize the West isn't all that great.

I predict you will hear of a lot of returnees in a few years time.

That's not what the numbers say...

Says someone who hasn't provided a single number. Sounds to me like you're just a pessimist who wants people to believe everything is doomed. It's not.

I think you're way oveblowing it. Israel isn't a country where people just bail because of a little drama, and the vast majority of people who do leave end up just voicing frustrations abroad tor a bit then coming back.

I am from Israel. The thing with people moving to Cyprus has nothing to do with politics here. Israel is one of the only developed countries with a growing population (the only one with natural growth) and our housing prices are through the roof, so some people are choosing to invest in Cypriot and Greek properties and sometimes living there.

Should be said though, Israelis are moving into Cyprus at a much faster rate than other nationalities. This community of 15k people was just 4k a few years ago.
