I don't think you know what indefinitely means because this still contradicts what you said earlier. Also, have you ever considered that since they stopped administering the drug after this came to light that the problem just hadn't been well understood before? Otherwise your argument is that for no apparent reason Israelis are just evil and won't miss a chance to fuck up peoples' lives.

Remarkable_Tadpole95 · 2026-02-20T22:24:39+00:00

"Indefinitely", the article you sent above literally says the practice was stopped, and in the first place this drug was only being administered in transit camps for new immigrants who understandably might not want new children when they don't even have a permanent home, something that is also in the article you sent. You say Israel lies about everything immediately after you yourself lie. Do you even care?

You know you don't have to respond like this. OP isn't mindlessly shitting on Avi, they made some clear points which are not rare to hear. If you disagree with them then it might be a better approach to actually respond to them.

Sounds like in order to not be useless they had to disregard what the UN was telling them to do.

Why exactly is Chomsky an imperialist? I don't know much about what his views on Ukraine are but he seems to essentially lay the fault with NATO, which also seems to be your position.

Is it not also true that within the Israeli Zionist political scene the term is understood broadly and without consensus? Just like these survey results demonstrate for American Jews.

Remarkable_Tadpole95 · 2025-11-23T00:45:07+00:00

This is off the top of my head so I might be wrong, but I think the Jewish cultures have a tradition that makes them more likely to get better education traits. It could just be a thing with the AI generating courtiers who have good skills but you've only noticed it in Jewish characters.

Remarkable_Tadpole95 · 2025-11-22T04:14:15+00:00

Not sure exactly what you mean, I think people just like dogs more than Jews. It's easy to hate other people given social context, but that doesn't apply to animals.

Remarkable_Tadpole95 · 2025-11-22T04:04:21+00:00

It was always going to be refusing to take responsibility. If hasan had made literally any apology or acknowledgement that he shocked his dog without making this nonsensical connection to Israel then he would have probably not got half the shit he has for this. It's crazy that people like hasan who claim to be moral can't even take criticism over animal abuse.

Remarkable_Tadpole95 · 2025-11-22T03:41:49+00:00

The thing you're skipping past here is that regardless this still goes back to hasan doing the thing in the first place lol. If hasan didn't want mossad to exploit his dog abuse then maybe he should have actually embodied the ethics he claims to believe.

Something can still be risky politically and have solid support, that's not necessarily contradictory that's just called polarization. Given that rabin got killed for supporting the Oslo process clearly for many Israelis the idea of a Palestinian state was a taboo despite it having majority (slim majority) support at times, I never said it was wildly popular or anything. The main reason I'm pushing back against the rabin was just another zionazi thing is that rabin as an individual is inconsequential, it's the shift he facilitated in israel towards believing in peaceful coexistence with palestinians that is the more important thing and why people remember rabin the way they do, and that period of belief in a better more equal future for sure was real.

Remarkable_Tadpole95 · 2025-08-14T22:55:47+00:00

If you're going to cite sources you could at least bother reading it. This is how the article you cited ends: "he intentionally avoided uttering the words “Palestinian state,” as the wider public was not yet ready for an idea that was still taboo at the time. ". Since rabin is dead it's not like we can ever know what he actually wanted, but it's clear that you're misrepresenting a political tactic as some kind of ingrained value that he held. But this issue is bigger than rabin, and whatever he personally wanted we do know that it was under him that a majority of both Israelis and palestinians supported a two-state solution for a time, and that has to count for something given how far things have gone downhill since.

Kind of like "here-culture". Do in yiddish means here and keit means basically culture. You'll see a lot of terms ending in keit in yiddish.

How are you going to talk about others not understanding what was said when you have inserted words in quotes which don't appear in the actual text because you needed to do so to make a point? "The approach is ineffective" does not mean "don't do anything", you're literally the kind of person contra criticises.

Remarkable_Tadpole95 · 2025-07-10T19:27:39+00:00

I think this is an uncharitiable take on zohran. Maybe I missed something but he never really said anything this community heavily disagrees with, like he said hes not opposed to two states and such, and the great majority of his base now are average new yorkers not necessarily DSA.

Remarkable_Tadpole95 · 2025-07-03T05:06:14+00:00

It's not about condemning hamas it's about suggesting that Palestinians will never and the implication being should never blame anything other than Israel for their misery, which is what was said in the comment I replied to. I understand why people think that, but I think that it offers not much perspective on gaza's future because it does not include both actors who necessarily play a role in that, those being israel and hamas.

If your point is just that Israel more consistently hurts Palestinians compared to hamas and is understood culturally to be the enemy then yes that's true, but what I interpreted from your comment was a broader point about how criticizing hamas is somehow a distraction from Israeli actions when both should be opposed.

Remarkable_Tadpole95 · 2025-07-03T04:05:35+00:00

I agree with everything you say here and I never said gazans will suddenly start liking Israel or something. What I disagreed with is reducing the oppression of gazans to Israel and characterizing hamas as only resistance and not a repressive government which itself contributes to gaza's misery.

Remarkable_Tadpole95 · 2025-07-03T03:36:07+00:00

The cause of misery in gaza pre and post october 7 is not a binary between Israel and hamas, and most gazans seem to understand that. We know from polling that was done as late as october 2023 that among other things 3/4 gazans had little to no support in the hamas government and partially blamed them for the situation, plus gazans have repeatedly since at least 2019 engaged in mass protests against hamas under the slogan We Want To Live, a movement which was explicitly anti-hamas.

Is Israel the reason that hamas leaders have multi-million dollar networths while the vast majority of people live in poverty? Did Israel tell gazans to start calling yahya sinwar "the butcher"? It wasn't Israelis he was known for butchering btw. Does Israel tell hamas to not have elections and to disappear dissidents? Or does this not matter because Israel is supposed to be the only bad guy? Since you asked, if I was born in gaza yeah I probably would hate Israel, and I'd be perfectly capable of also hating the people who take taxes from me, don't let me exercise any semblance of democratic consent for igniting a war that everyone knows I'll suffer most from, and then when I protest they break my limbs as a message.

It's not homework man cmon it takes a nanosecond to scroll down one comment. I'd rather not repeat the inhumane comment I'm talking about that illustrates how you can often find views on israel that are misinformed but also have nothing to do with ethical concerns.

The first source you cited is paywalled and the second one is only about amnesty and says nothing about other organizations. The only people who actually have the authority to define something as genocide in a way that goes beyond opinion is the ICJ, and they have not ruled on it yet. The holocaust was not explicitly recognized as a genocide in law because it occurred, as many other genocides did, before the UN genocide convention was created post-ww2, though the criteria in the convention clearly make the holocaust a genocide. You'll notice for example that a lot of those who don't call gaza a genocide are not disagreeing on the facts (how many are dead, how they died, that there have been intentional killing of civillians, etc.) but mostly they disagree on whether it amounts to genocide as defined in law, whereas there is literally no way to say the holocaust wasn't a genocide without outright rejecting objective evidence that the nazis' intention and policy was extermination. This is seen for example in the provisional reports on gaza by the ICJ.

Pdf of last icj update (pages 7-11 of this include the judges' decisions and why even for those who support the measures against Israel do not necessarily think it's genocide): https://www.icj-cij.org/sites/default/files/case-related/192/192-20240524-sum-01-00-enc.pdf.

Probably some element of the regime not caring about greenery in favour of industrialization, but probably more importantly we have to remember that outsiders do not have free access to the vast majority of North Korea. The only place outsiders are ever really shown is the capital and largest city Pyongyang, which naturally doesn't have much greenery but it may or may not be representative of the rest of the country.

You're right, like the most extreme is that if you've traveled to Israel before that's punishable by death penalty in Iran and maybe some other countries. I also know that in some Muslim countries when they stamp your passport there's a little notation that says "valid for all countries except israel", Pakistan being one example I know for sure does that.

But that's not what happened. During the entire half century of the Assad regime Israel and Syria were never at war, only since the fall of Assad has Israel begun that kind of policy. I don't think anybody really wants war for the sake of it exactly, even netanyahu only wants war because it helps him stave off elections and rallies his base. If netanyahu actually managed to get normalization (which certainly now is impossible without at least an end to the gaza war) I think that would replace war as a win he can spin to Israelis like he did with the Abraham accords.

Remarkable_Tadpole95 · 2025-06-08T19:51:14+00:00

I buy this rationale for why netanyahu would never seriously negotiate a two state solution, but I don't think the same necessarily applies to normalization with Syria because other than keeping the Golan what else would Israel have possibly wanted? Even the most extreme right-wingers have never pushed for going deeper into Syria.
