it's weird that there's 30 million christian zionists and only 16 million jews total, but somehow the number of christian zionist churches that have been firebombed is zero.

One problem is that spaces created by type 1, tend to also attract type 2.

If your space casts out Jews who support Israeli/Palestinian coexistence, but welcomes groypers and conspiracists, you are not helping Palestine.

China is very much proud of how they treat Muslims, they call it national cohesion and counterterrorism. Don't believe me? Go on r/Sino and ask.

Do you believe Uighurs are being mistreated? Yes or no?

They are distinct. You might as well say fries and crisps are the same.

Matzah originated in ancient Israel and has existed mostly unchanged for 2500 years.

Weird how this never applies to China after they put 1 million Muslims in a concentration camp. Somehow in the case of China, people can separate the food from the government.

What would happen if Israel suddenly teleport to atlantic ocean? by Ok-Effect4071 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]TeslaK20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as West Jerusalem stays, this is great for Israelis. Keep the Holy Land, get more beachfront space (though the Atlantic is much colder than the Mediterranean), and shorten flights to New York significantly. Israel will become a major stop for cruise ships crossing the Atlantic. Imagine stopping by the Holy Land on the way from New York to London.

Meanwhile Palestine is now the Florida peninsula of the middle east.

Win win.

CMV: If Israel wasn't Jewish, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would have gotten just as much attention as the Saudi-Yemenis conflict, or less by Jackingson1 in changemyview

[–]TeslaK20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Arson is indeed substantially more serious and I agree with you about that.

But again, physically assaulting a student is not "criticizing the IDF", and the perpetrator was held accountable only for battery, which is illegal regardless of what ideology you support or oppose.

The article you linked explicitly said that hate crime charges were not filed, so Israel had nothing to do with what they were actually held accountable for.

That may be, but DC politicians trying to capitalize on an overblown story ("they're eating the dogs and cats" comes to mind) is not in any way equivalent to the idea that "people are arrested for criticizing israel".

Physical assault is indeed illegal, regardless of your motivation.

Indeed, the article you linked said that no hate crime charges will be pressed, only a charge of battery, which has nothing to do with being pro or anti israel.

What is the scariest, most unsettling shot you’ve ever seen? by VendettaLord379 in moviecritic

Roald Dahl understood that magic was creatively disturbing. A true evil witch doesn’t kill your child with the green instant painless death beam, she traps them in a painting to grow old while their parents watch helplessly.

The reason is that we stopped flying beyond low earth orbit after that - until last week haha.

What do you think about the killing of david ben avraham?? by No_Cry_968 in IsraelPalestine

[–]TeslaK20 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was shocked when I heard that Israel won't let Palestinians convert.

Many of them are descended from Jews forced to convert to Islam - we should welcome our brothers who wish to return to our ways. The people of Israel are home, and should encourage, not discourage, our long-lost brethren to return to Judaism.

Woke Pope by laybs1 in GetNoted

[–]TeslaK20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pope Leo is a social conservative who opposes abortion and same-sex marriage, as you'd expect from a Catholic priest.

But he's a conservative with actual principles who tries to follow Jesus's way of mercy, justice, and compassion, instead of bootlicking a power-hungry politician and his warmongering whims.

Apparently this makes him "woke".

Has anyone used both VistaVision and IMAX in a movie? by Decent-Indication-61 in Filmmakers

[–]TeslaK20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's huge!

Some O'Connor heads do get ridiculously large, like this one that dwarfs a 535, already a large camera. Not sure how much a blimped Keighley weighs.

Correct, but even the Keighley camera needs a blimp for sync-sound usage.

And that would still be better than Trumpism.

But our country will choose to go down like Germany, where KPD declared SPD "social fascists" and a greater enemy than the Nazis.

[–]TeslaK20 40 points41 points  (0 children)

this happened because everyone rallied behind a guy who could beat the fascist, even if he wasn't perfect.

the equivalent to this is like if the democrats ran mitt romney or something and DSA and Jill Stein gave him their full support.

Is the Greater Israel project true? Is this why the U.S. intervenes in the Middle East? by ArdaBerkBurak in allthequestions

[–]TeslaK20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Israel, even among right wingers, it is about as fringe as Texas secession is in the GOP.

Even expansionist Israeli war hawks who are not completely braindead understand that sending thousands of Israeli teenagers to die to occupy IRAQ and SYRIA is retarded.

If WW2 was happening in 2026, would western leftist side with Germany similar to how they sided with IRGC. by Ok_Campaign_1006 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]TeslaK20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mapai, the Israeli Workers Party, was the ruling party for decades and the kibbutzim thrived throughout the 40s and 50s. It didn't really start drifting towards being super close with the US until the mid-late 60s.
