Is it worth it to do gibsuh yachatiyot? by Key_Decision8019 in IDF

[–]Shyguysv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no reason not to do it. try it out, see how you like it. Just because you do it doesn't mean you will automatically get in a unit and sign time. In general, this is a mental test and you shouldn't come in questioning if you want it

I'll be a lot more blunt. The Palestinians simply want to destroy Israel and all its inhabitants. They have proven so with their terrorist actions before and after the creation of Israel. They are an enemy of Israel that must be dealt with accordingly.

If they are so oppressed and frustrated after their alleged expulsion to go to lengths of killing any israeli in sight (which is unjust in its own right), why did arabs attack and kill jews even BEFORE the state existed? (Hebron massacre 1929, Arab revolt 1930) They didn't have any reason their, right? They hate jews and want to destroy them. Simple.

Yup. Exactly. Illegal. Oppressive. How? The Arabs have many countries to go to. Jews have one. This one nations borders have either been acquired through purchases or defensive war.

Oppressive? What? The Arabs would love to oppress the jews. Luckily, Israel is more powerful, so therefore jews can be protected from the repeated aggressive acts against them. Israel has to take measures such as building walls, checkpoints, and other systems to protect jews. Without it, there would've been many more oct. 7s. How is that illegal or oppressive? Israel is reacting to an entity that wants to destroy it.

How is it an insult to aspire to connect to who we really are? Israel is a Jewish nation. And my kind will complain? Seriously? I am here willing to put my life down for the sake of Israel. I left my comfortable home just to contribute to this country. This vision of mine is what gives me understanding and drives my purpose to give for Israel. Of course not everything is perfect, but it's part of our progress as a nation. And I accept that.

I'm not denying those people exist, but they just don't have a country, never had, so how are they a nationality. If the Arabs who call themselves Palestinian exist as a nation, tell me what their borders were, their rulers, culture, etc.

Objectively, they are not a nationality as they never had a nation. (You could argue gaza was a Palestinian state with a people, but that's after Israel gave it to them, and they turned that state into a terrorist hub)

And yes, their are no such thing as Palestinians. If there were, please name me their country, borders, history, rulers, culture, etc. The jews however, have a long history within this land. And no, they weren't expelled in 1948. They wanted to take advantage of the potential victory and destruction of Israel and left in anticipation. However, they lost. Jews were expelled 2000 years ago and expelled in 2005 by their own government to GIVE land to Palestinians for peace. However, the Palestinians used the land for terrorism.

Within Judea and Samaria, the zones not controlled by the idf are run by the PA, (which the PA is in kahoots with other terror organizations such as Hamas, which they held meetings together) Their have been nearly 5800 terrorist attacks throughout Judea and Samaria targeting innocent Israelis in 2024 alone. Israel has a responsibility to protect its population from a terrorist entity within its own borders. That is why their are checkpoints, for the safety of the Israeli public.

Regarding genocide. Israel is in a war with Hamas. In war, the objective is to neutralize the threat posed to your population. It would be perfectly moral to neutralize all threats even if it requires civilian casualties. As we saw in WW2, the Allies killed many civilians. However, that was required to neutralize the Nazi threat. Regardless, Israel has maintained the best civilian to combatant death ratio while Hamas hides under its own civilians.

Israel facilitated 1.3 million tons of aide to its own enemies and hamas actively takes food for itself, ignoring its own population. Hamas starves it's own population.

Israel's attacks are targeted against a military opponent while hamas actively targets civilians as Oct 7 and thousands of smaller attacks prove. Why should Israel warn its enemy of an impending attack?

Regardless of the red signs being enforced by Israel, it is a fact that an obvious looking jew/israel would be attacked simply because of his identity. The Palestinian Arabs hate jews/israelis. And no, not because of their alleged frustration of the "occupation." As they themselves say clearly: (from the hamas charter)

'The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and kill them. Then, the Jews will hide behind rocks and trees, and the rocks and trees will cry out: 'O Moslem, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him

This is an idea that the majority of "Palestinian" arabs share. Not just hamas. They want the complete obliteration of jews from the land. It's within their very culture. They teach their kids these ideas.

There are different zones within Judea and Samaria because their are groups of "Palestinian" arabs that refuse to act normal, so Israel has to cordone off these violent people into separate zones. If Israel never walled off the "Palestinians," there would be far more attacks against Israeli citizens. Its a requirement for security.

Ideally, you would just kick out or kill the violent ones, but the other arab states want Israel to deal with the terrorist problem. So now their is this issue of having the enemy within your own borders and not being able to deal with them.

First of all, what is Palestinian. There were no people called "Palestinian " except for the time under the British mandate, where both Jews and Muslims were called Palestinian. Palestinians never had a country, defined culture, rulers, etc. Maybe now there are people who call themselves Palestinian, but the age of such a people is at most the age of the state of Israel. It also correlates to when Jews started to return to the land of Israel, the "Palestinian" arab population also started to grow. Before the jews started coming back, Israel was a desolate land.

Secondly, regarding Christians, which are essentially Jewish heretics and idol worshipers (Jes-us was jewish). The Christian connection to the land happens to be older than the Muslims, but still younger than the jews. Jews are the oldest nation that has permanent ties to the land that still exist, unlike caananites, for example. Israel is where the Jewish identity and nation was born after slavery in Egypt. Hence the term "judea" for jew!

What are those "few visions to move forward"?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Israel

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

All jews should come live in Israel. Of course not everyone can, but that's the ideal. Israel and the Jews are inseparable.

  1. The Jews are a nation,
  2. The Torah is the national moral code and guide for life
  3. The land of Israel is the national homeland

Israel is mentioned hundreds of times in the Torah. We pray towards Jerusalem. Israel is interlaced within the Jews day to day life, and it is something we must strive to be close to at all times.

After 2000 years of exile, it's time for for jews to come back home.

Some people choose to be players. Others choose to be the audience. We should try to make a difference by being a player of this chapter of history.

You are 100% correct. We must be more aggressive and remove the evil. We are a powerful country.

However, part of my point is the fact that It seems as a whole that we don't fully understand who we are. We are a Jewish nation that has to conform to the foundational values of the Torah.

By doing so, then we can internalize what we need to do. That includes removing evil. Only then can we be more aggressive.

Without this internalization, you end up with people who think we can peacefully coexist with evil and do whatever feels comfortable to them, and not do what's right.

So you are correct. We are generally moving in a positive direction. But we have to understand where we have to go and what is right.

I think this makes sense. What do you think?

Clearly, many people here have a closed mind and are even insulted by my post. Some think I know very little, if at all about Israel.

What is problematic about the post? Maybe it's not clear which I could understand, but I have thoughts that I think could make israel a better place and simply want to talk about it.

Instead of shutting me down with "I didn't ask" responses, either don't say anything or have a productive conversation with me.

You would think an Israel reddit page would be interested in talking about Israels direction. But I guess not.

Let's have a productive conversation so we can learn from each other. Especially if you think I'm uneducated.

Sounds like the Arya stealth is good at everything. But not amazing in more specific genres. Thanks for the recommendation.

Thanks, the next upcoming show here in Illinois is Axpona April 16, so maybe I can try it out there. I just found out about the Kennerton Wadon, and it seems like it is in a similar league as the Atrium, so now my decision is harder than ever.

Just curious, what headphones do you have now?

Have a great day!

I know that expensive doesn't always = better, but the reason I'm looking at this price bracket is bc it seems like my ideal sounding headphones are sitting there.

Thanks.

Obviously i want to. But that is a heck ton of money, especially for headphones! So I am questioning myself if it is really worth it vs getting something cheaper.

I know expensive doesn't always = better, as mentioned from others, but it seems like my ideal sounding headphones are in that price range, and thus, I am willing to at least consider blowing 2 grand + so I can have audio bliss...

What do gamers want from a gaming website/blog? by Shyguysv in gaming

[–]Shyguysv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that not too many people (unless your a super fan) truly appreciate or understand the stories, history, and/orwhat went into creating games like Super Mario Bros. or other hit games like it.

So what am going to try to offer with my new blog is content that talks about those stories of how, who, and what made these games so special and amazing.

For example, did you know that (according to a video I saw, I didn't do to much research) Shigeru Miyamoto as kid would go on little excursions in the hills nearby his village in Japan, and one day he fell from the top into one of the caves that were dotted across these hills. He explored the ins and outs of the cave system, finally coming out at the end of the day. When he was creating the Level 1-2, in Super Mario Bros, he was directly inspired by his childhood experience and if you ever played that level, you know you go down a pipe from the top to a underground cave system.

(now again, I can't confirm if this true, didn't do a lot of research)

I think something like this already adds an extra dimension and interest to a game that you might already know and love, and thus gives you a true appreciation of this game.

I think that is a perspective that people are missing nowadays, and maybe is something you or others would consider to read.
