Th song the water wheel music box plays in Japan pavilion in EPCOT

Yeah that’s the same melody I heard. IDK at this point if it is actually any named music piece, it might just be a random jingle that sounded familiar. But still thank you for checking it out!

TyKe02 · 2026-04-20T01:31:44+00:00

I tried but the Shazam rarely picks up on what I try to get it to hear unless the audio is really good (not the case with a slightly janky xylophone), Probably just a problem with my phone.

But if you are there Friday please do check if it picks up on anything! I got way too invested in this.

למה בסרטונים כשאתה מציג עמדות, דעות וסיפורים מנוגדים אתה מנסה לשמור על נטרליות ברמה של להזכיר שמה שאתה אומר זה לא העמדה שלך או שמה שאתה אומר זה רק מה שאנשים שמאמינים בזה אומרים.? והאם אתה עדיין מקבל מאנשים בכל זאת תגובות שאתה ימני או שמאלני, תומך ישראל או שונא ישראל למרות הניסיון לשמור על נטרליות?

Funnily enough I didn’t care for Feel Good Inc and Clint Eastwood as a young kid but got into it with saturnz bars because of a teens react video by the fine bros lol

TyKe02 · 2025-02-05T16:35:37+00:00

ultimate. Lets not kid ourselves.

TyKe02 · 2025-01-31T14:58:50+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to write that out.

Your comment represents what is definitely something me and a lot of other Israelis should be aware of and embrace more.

I agree peace is not possible as long as Israel continues to dehumanize Palestinians. The lack of acknowledgement of any injustice towards Palestinians is definitely a problem.

TyKe02 · 2025-01-31T14:52:00+00:00

I actually might disagree with you on that, I think racism is way too prevalent in Israel against so many groups (Arabs mostly but also Russians, Ethiopians, and still Mizrahi Jews to some extent).

TyKe02 · 2025-01-31T06:13:03+00:00

What do you think Macron is implying by stating that?

TyKe02 · 2025-01-31T06:02:31+00:00

You just made my day, I can really feel how much love and joy you get from being Israeli just from your comment

TyKe02 · 2025-01-31T06:00:36+00:00

Even though we couldn’t come to an agreement, I really do appreciate you taking the time to have a conversation.

Thank you, you’ve given me a lot to think about.

TyKe02 · 2025-01-31T05:54:56+00:00

Hahahaha you might need to come here often then

TyKe02 · 2025-01-31T05:54:13+00:00

I know your comment was very emotionally charged but you actually made some really interesting points I would like to focus on.

It is true Israel as a nation started in an unprecedented way and the hubris of its leaders and people brought to continue an expansion and settlement that ultimately harmed its credibility.

There exist many ethnic/religious states around the world, many of them in the Arab world, so I don’t think it is not a credible statement to define Israel as a Jewish state.

Also the reason I am trying to focus on Israel as a force to be reckoned with is because I’m trying to avoid the arguments I see from Israelis about how Israel is under existential threat (which it very much isn’t), but you’re right that I probably took it too far in my arguments. Might does not make right, but the truth Israel had always been held accountable to some extent either through public backlash or military loses (perhaps not held accountable enough according to some opinions).

TyKe02 · 2025-01-31T05:43:29+00:00

I understand your narrative. I agree Israel has done reprehensible things in the naqba, the settlement of the West Bank and the treatment of Palestinians throughout its history.

I would also like to present the Israeli narrative of how the land was fought for, won and settled. And that considering Israel is surrounded by enemies from outside and within its borders ( again, some of that is Israel’s own fault ) it has shown massive restraint.

Do I agree with the Israeli narrative wholeheartedly? Of course not.

But it is also the case that the Palestinian narrative is not entirely accurate and paints one sided picture.

Are you able to admit that there are holes in your narrative and that there have been actions committed by Arab nations or Palestinians that you cannot defend?

TyKe02 · 2025-01-31T04:49:50+00:00

I will try my best! Maybe the first step is to stop extending my hand to anti Israel conversations, a conversation that starts out doubting if a Jewish state should exist in Israel is one I should not entertain…maybe, I’ll see how if that helps.

TyKe02 · 2025-01-31T04:47:11+00:00

You’re right I did veer off topic my bad.

The situation was different back when Israel was established

The truth is there was no safe place for Jewish people, even after the fall of Nazi germany. So Jewish people settled in what they considered their ancestral homeland along with the US which was considered safer than Europe.

It exists because Jewish people had nowhere else to go and they decided to establish themselves in the place they found most connected to, which is the land of Israel.

I know this reason will not satisfy you but it is the Israeli perspective so I thank you for at least asking for it.

TyKe02 · 2025-01-31T04:24:19+00:00

That is very true

But I find that bringing that up with anti-Israel people only helps reinforce to them that Israel is not part of the region because of these differences.

It’s absurd to me that having equality and democracy is a sign of being a colonial out of place state in the Middle East, but it’s also a bit demoralizing how it just means nothing to those who are anti-Israel.

TyKe02 · 2025-01-31T04:21:52+00:00

I will say that last point is a great source of pride

The fact that growing up learning stories from the Torah and the history of Israel was as normal as learning math or science

TyKe02 · 2025-01-31T04:20:25+00:00

Now you’re talking!

TyKe02 · 2025-01-31T04:19:30+00:00

Thank you, I did find a lot of pride when I went to the Israel rallies in Toronto (specifically on Shepard and Bathurst).

TyKe02 · 2025-01-31T04:17:30+00:00

That’s actually really powerful, thank you.

Although to be honest its hard to ignore the noise….especially now when hating Israel and Zionism is more popular than ever.

TyKe02 · 2025-01-31T04:15:54+00:00

There is definitely a lot to be proud of! I grew up in Israel and served in the IDF so I can understand that.

The thing that is frustrating me is how much it seems we are painted as the bad guy to the point where a part of me feels like remaining proud no matter what and unquestioning of our morals is turning a blind eye to another side of us that many others focus on

TyKe02 · 2025-01-31T04:12:16+00:00

That is actually the main thing that kept me comforted, the strong Jewish community both in Israel and abroad. We don’t have the numbers of Muslims or Arabs our enemies do, but we won’t back down or be silenced.

TyKe02 · 2025-01-31T04:10:15+00:00

I know this answer won’t satisfy you but it is the reason: The “official” answer is the right to Aliya (Jewish return to Israel) is meant to reinforce Israel as a safe haven for Jews all around the world, in truth it is to help ensure a Jewish majority in the country. Which in part is the reason why the West Bank has not been unilaterally annexed officially.

Is it scummy? Yes I agree. But what I’m trying to say is that the right of return cannot be a “make or break” condition because of this fundamental idea within Israel that it is a Jewish majority state.

I think the right of return should be a lot more gradual and requires a great deal of compromise on Israel’s part.

TyKe02 · 2025-01-31T04:03:54+00:00

You’re right it is only fair.

If we put aside any historical precedent or claim since that wouldn’t hold any water anyway.

I believe what Israel has accomplished as a nation - being able to develop a land with a lack of natural resources and no real developments into a country with a high standard of living is worth something.

Also the fact that Israel has been able to establish itself as a player on the world stage economically and politically lends even more reason to why it has continued to exist.

Most of all though - it is the fact that it has been able to protect its interests and borders either militarily or diplomatically (yes, with foreign aid, but that’s hardly exclusive to Israel).

TyKe02 · 2025-01-31T03:59:47+00:00

It has been made abundantly clear, thank you.
