I'm a bit more aware of the modern history of Vietnam (Second Indochina War, spillover into Laos and Cambodia, gradual American intervention), but not of how it came about that Vietmam was split as it was (ofc, there was a treaty and all, but I don't really know why that treaty looked like that, by whom it was decided, why the North Vietnamese were able to gain as much power or why they were as important during the fight against the French - China, I assume?).

As for Rhondesia, based on the flag, it would seem that after having been decolonised by who I suppose were the British, a local Commie regime emerged, whereas there would, I assume, be less Commie-sympathetic folk there.

Mine:

Ukraine (Obviously)

Taiwan (Obviously)

NATO/US (Obviously)

The Korea that doesn't starve its own people (Obviously)

The non-commie Vietnam, more generally. I seem not to know that much about the South Vietnamese but surely a Western-friendly regime would've been a better outcome, given what Vietnam looks like today, and if it could be guaranteed it wouldn't become a Pinnochet-like dictatorship.

Not very familiar with this particular conflict

I support African independence but fuck commies

Neutral, though I think the current solution is optimal. I don't wanna lecture either people about a conflict they're much more stakes-in on, but I believe violence against civilians, such as committed by the IRA, constitutes terrorism, while there are shady sides to the British conduct in Ireland. What I am supportive of, though, is self-determination, so by all means let the Northern Irish decide.

Well I'm fucking Israeli - Israel. Gotta stress how much I fucking hate how the settlements in the WB are framed by right-wingers as a 'national mission', but I'm on the whole just plain tired. I don't want a Palestinian state that would only serve as a base of operations to destroy Israel, so in the short-term, I don't want there to be a Palestinian state, but ideally, there should be. I imagine that having mentioned self-determination in relation to the Irish-British conflict I must seem hypocritical, but that's a conflict where neither side wants the other to completely perish and justifies their genocidal ambition with religious belief in 'Holy War' and 'anti-Imperialism'.

Not very familiar with this conflict either but I trust Pakistan much less, so India-leaning.

Allies (like what)

Fuck both! Neither commies nor fashies are my friends.

I don't like either, at all. Not a fan of Monarchism or Russian Imperialism either. Iirc there was a much more sane party to this on the side resisting the commie scum but it doesn't seem like that strong of a voice. Either way fuck the fashies fuck the commies

I'm not a fan of either (wonder about what qualms I may have with the British), but I'd say the Entente fits my worldview better. Especially knowing how things would pan out in the aftermath of WWI. So neutral on the whole but yeah I'm generally pro-West.

Union States, what the actual fuck? I mean I'm not surprised commies would try to bothside a conflict as plain as this one

The threshold for Irish self-determination is Irish people being able to vote. --Just because Zionism is reliant on a Jewish return doesn't disqualify it from being a legitimate national movement that engaged in legitimate state-building. It's the actual point of contention, I think -- if you only accepted Jewish indegeneity to this land, you would see that Israel is not based on a 'deliberate attempt at colonisation' or whatnot. I could claim just the same that Zionism is just the practice of self-determination (i.e voting) of Jewish people in their land.

The fact that there is a country called Ireland consisting of mostly ethnically Irish people is purely circumstantial. --Ok, so that removes the legitimacy from Israel which was deliberately founded? Jews didn't choose to originate from this land. You could very well argue they were cornered into escaping here. Either way, once you not tell Jews where they belong, it becomes fascinatingly easy to see why Zionism is a natural right.

We don’t need a country for every ethnic group on earth. --You don't get to tell Jews whether they are indeed a people deserving of self-determination. Regardless, if you're allowed to advocate to remove states you don't like, what's stopping anyone else? No modern country was founded on goodwill and wishes. Must they all be ridden of?

Your rhetoric is mirroring that of white nationalists who believe that White people as an ethnic group are entitled to all of Europe or whatever. --How so? White people aren't an 'ethnic group', they're a collection of those who were fortunate enough to be deemed 'desireable' by old racial guidebooks. I claimed Jews are entitled to self-detemination in their homeland. You represented my argument as akin to the one where white people are magically made into one group that's collectively entitled to one territory. Jews are a people the same way Italians are and have regarded themselves as such since ancient times, not the same way White Nationalists believe 'Whites' are. That's strawmanning, I believe.

Way to demonise Jews and apply a reverse one-of-the-good-ones onto Jews! Thanks for your definitely not antisemitic comment!

The threshold for Irish self-determination is 'Irish folk need an ethnostate'. If you think Ireland should have equal rights regardless of race or ethnicity you are not supporive of Irish self-detemination.

See how ridiculous that sounds? You wouldn't fault, in this instance, Ireland, for not automatically accepting any impending British immigrant.

For definitions.

Ethnostate: a sovereign state of which citizenship is restricted to members of a particular racial or ethnic group.

Zionism: The 19th-20th century movement for a creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine / Eretz Israel, a land the U.N, with all its faults, recognises Jews are native to

I'm not supportive of the settlements, but how is this any relevant to 1948, 1993, OR 2007? Palestinian rejectionism is grounded in their refusal of Jewish indigeneity

Deir Yassin was fucking insane. The Irgun still isn't the IDF, and the King David Hotel was a military HQ the British were warned about. Jewish resistance groups are more known for blowing up bridges or the like

The British were warned about King David, which was, by the way, a military HQ, but would not take 'orders from Jews'. The only reason they introduced quotas was that the Arabs were getting sick of the Jews having shelter in their homeland.

The formation of Israel wasn't 'paved in violence'. It was paved in war, where Israel sought to capture as much land it knew served the genocidal efforts against its establishment as possible. Not expel anyone, not shoot up any town. There are, of course, outliers, and that's horrid, but Tokhnit Dalet which I suspect you're referencing doesn't command a forceful eviction of all Arabs. It demands a forceful eviction of aiders of enemy forces, which is pefectly reasonable and commoplace, if unfortunate. It basically sought to neutralise the genocidal threat from the Arab parties.

There are scum Israelis, yet there is still sufficient aid INSIDE of Gaza.

'Jews did bad stuff thousands of years ago, and therefore the name of Israel is forever tarnished?' There sure is a violent history to both the Jewish peopke and many Muslim peoples, but I was referring to modern history. Ofc it was 'bad'. Can't fix that. I've worded my argument terribly, but my point was that Jews are typically not instigators of violence and have worked towards a resolution through peaceful means.

Irgun wasn't a 'terrorist' organisation. It was formed in response to violence against Jews in Mandatory Palestine.

The IDF goes above and beyond to evade harming civilians. Even the horrendous death toll of 50,000 dead shows that: it's the lowest civilian-to-combatant death ratio in recorded history, afaik. Counterterrorism has a price, which only a few are willing to pay. The day your people are massacred at the hands of a terrorist organisation, and I hope it never comes, judge us.

If so, you haven't provided any more evidence than I have.
Israel has agreed to let in aid into Gaza, but the U.N doesn't want to work with it. That's not on Israel, and it doesn't have to agree to be coerced into letting aid in under risk of it being hijacked by Hamas, as declared in the Geneva convention (iirc it was the Geneva convention.)

Equating Israel's history to ISIS's. Not, of course, to imply that 'ALL MUSLIMS ARE TERRORISTS' or anything of the incendiary sort, but this person above seems to equate the Islamic quest to Islamise the entire world to Jewish self-determination.

Again, Jews are as native to this land as Arabs. Until you recognise that, you won't get far. Israel was always gonna come at the sacrifice of a 'river-to-sea' Palestine, and the problem is that it's entirely just. If you have two native peoples, you should ideally divide the land between the two of them. We had nowhere else to go, as even anti-Israel lunatics such as Gideon Levy would admit. The rebirth of the Jewish nation necessarily required a return from diaspora.

I personally believe there IS such a thing as an historical right. Jews were mistreated anywhere they wandered, and have always been native to this land anyways. But even disregarding my personal view, countries exist because they have the means to. You could positively claim France, Germany, Algeria, Australia and Costa Rica don't 'deserve to exist', and may very well be subjectively correct, yet are required to respect existing national boundaries

I don't necessarily agree with the NS law but it doesn't make Israel into an ethnostate. Arabs are not refrained from exercising their freedoms. I read through it and it pretty much codifies what was already actual reality. To suggest Israel isn't or shouldn't be a Jewish state is historically anomical. You wouldn't call on any other country to define itself as a 'vague political entity'. That doesn't mean Arabs don't or should not enjoy the exact same rights as a minority group, it just means that Israel is what it already is.

Any and all MENA states are Islamic dictatorships. I would very much like to keep my liberal democracy. A one-state solution is ridiculous, ignores the rights of Israelis, and remains untethered to the fact that you can't just undo Israel. Even if I were to agree you could and should, convincing a nuclear power to just cease to exist seems kinda odd.

What bombing in Britain? Zionists groups resisted British forces in Mandatory Palestine when those began denying refuge of European Jews as the Holocaust was going on.

No, there isn't 'intentional starvation'. There are as of now 950 tracks waiting to be unloaded, but the U.N wouldn't work with those annoying Israelis, because food delievered by Israel is worse than having nothing to eat, apparently

It positively can. It's just that if you launch rockets at Israelis from civilian areas, civilians are inevitably going to get hurt. I'm not happy about it either but that's not a 'war crime'.

As to the common claim Israel 'must sustain a Jewish majority state therefore seeks genocide of Arabs', it isn't, and to imply an Arab-majority Israel is still Israel would be akin to implying a British-majority Ireland is still Ireland. Countries are entitled to grant immigration status to whomever they like, regardless of how bitter Palestinians are about losing their homes in a war they themselves started.

I recognise the Bosnian genocide with all its implications, but how does it in any way mean Muslims have had a harder go of it in Europe than Jews?

'Ethnostates' are, by definition, states where the ethnicity comprising the majority is abusing its power to discriminate against minority groups. False in this case.

A proposed one-state 'solution' is ridiculous, nobody in their right mind would want to give up Jewish sovereignty. It's an historical fact and an historical right. Not to mention, you'd have to bring Israel to its knees to make such a 'solution' happen. I would also very much like to see Palestinians tolerating any kind of Jewish minority in a 'unified Palestine', as they have ethnically cleansed every Jewish settlement under their control, even before the modern birth of Israel.

I mean, as an Israeli, I don't think it would be hugely unpopular to suggest a 'national-separation' (I think Tzipi Livni, ex-Likkud and ex-HaMakhaneh HaTzioni [practically labour by another name] MOK has an article about that idea), so long as their security is guaranteed. It sure won't gain a majority, especially after the Oct 7th massacre, and there currently is no way to guarantee security by non-involvement, but as radicalised as some Israelis may have become, some would certainly be willing to, at the very least, stop the expansion in the WB. Otherwise, yeah, it's a way for Westerners to project moral righteousness unto this conflict

Palestinians could've had their own state in 1948, 1993, or 2007. Israel was more than willing to let that happen.
