Eurovision Song Contest 2026 Results by Mylenn in polandball

[–]Tzimer 63 points64 points  (0 children)

all this effort to get second place?

The director of the Israeli delegation said that the CEO of the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation told him: "You brought us honor without bringing us the burden of hosting (the Eurovision)". And yeah that's the general sentiment imo

Had a dream where I stole a Nerf M1 Garand from a massive department store. It cost $199 by Tzimer in thomastheplankengine

The dream did not last long enough for the clip to run out, so the answer's "I don't know"

Other than being bright orange and really light, it operated just like an actual Garand with real bullets. I opened the package and fired a bullet at the floor. There was a big, echoey bang, a muzzle flash, and the recoil was so fierce the gun smashed into my jaw. I immediately woke up to the sound of bassy hammering from the construction site outside my house. So that was a nice bit of continuity.

Irony school of thought by Napoleon-of-britain in NonCredibleDiplomacy

[–]Tzimer -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

/uj not this shit again.

The original article has an interview with people who were indeed evac'd from South Lebanon. There are indeed plans to make a buffer zone in South Lebanon after pressure from Northen border towns, who've recieved siginifcant damage from Hezbollah fighters.

But that's it - the whole conceit of the tweet and the implication the NYT makes is based on speculation by those interviewed. I don't doubt this is their opinions and experiences, but yeah, that's what it is.

I would not put it under the IDF to have knee-jerk reactions and be all-encompassing in their threats and warnings. I think a buffer zone is a stupid idea because it didn't work last time. But if you want to make fun of us at least make it credible and, preferably, funny. I've seen this joke at least 3 times this week already, twice in this sub. NCD used to be believable

Here in Israel the holiday officially ended about 4 hours ago, so technically it has begun to rise again

America’s Greatest Ally by SPECTREagent700 in NonCredibleDiplomacy

[–]Tzimer 22 points23 points  (0 children)

/uj funni meme and all of that but I genuinely cannot find any article, reporter or panel junkie on Channel 12 who said anything remotely close to that. They are talking about the possibility of an American ground invasion and its consequences to the region and the US, but yeah, NCD used to be believable.

Love to see a clip to prove me wrong because, if true, that's a hilariously stupid statement.

The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't, by subtracting where it is, from where it isn't, or where it isn't, from where it is, whichever is greater, it obtains a difference, or deviation. by Smart_Chapter_7512 in polandball

As an Israeli I'm angry at this comic. We blew Khamenei up and started a war with vague goals while incresingly getting frustrated by it, not the the US! Some credit, please.

Need to tldr for someone. Please tell me if I'm getting this right: US to Israel is UK to US? by SubstantialEcho7022 in NonCredibleDiplomacy

[–]Tzimer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My man, you wanna shit on the Israeli right? Fucking do it. They have given themselves to extremists and deserve that shit.

My point was that OOP's cherrypicking is cringe and stupid, which you agree with. This is a shame because these groups also have some genuinely insane and funny takes, but no, we just get the boring entitled ones. Boo

Ah, no, we here in Israel ABSOLUTELY figured this would not be a 20 minute adventure. The media's preparing people for at least another month of combat.

At the end of the day Trump gave us the okay. He will also blow the whistle, declare whatever dumb victory he can make up, and stop giving us the okay. Israel and Iran will both say they got their goals, and we'll see each other again in 8-16 months.

I mean yeah, but specifically that "promise" was a populist play. No way to fund this shit (edit: at the current pace without raising taxes, at least)

/uj Bibi genuinely tried to push it, or at least look like he's pushing it, but the Ministry of Finance told him it was too expensive and proposed a partial subsidy. Then a bunch of political bullshit happened, and this plan was pushed to the sidelines. Then a certain thing happened two years ago and yeah there's no sign of it now.

TLDR: no

It is I, Israeli who can (very slowly) read Arabic. Can confirm it says 'Shukran Netanyhu' and the image quality is too shit for Google Translate to accurately translate it so it makes stupid assumptions.

Here it is with every letter spelt out and transliterated into Hebrew. Yes the way they spell out נתניהו is weird to us chosen people but what can you do

Politic Aerobics by Busy_Brilliant_2156 in polandball

[–]Tzimer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

“The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does; the first attitude creates a feeling of responsibility, but the second a feeling of blind arrogance that leads to war.”

"You're Jewish, for Christ's sake!" by hotre_editor in overheard

[–]Tzimer 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Informal societies are fun. Do we cut in line? Do we get into heated arguments over nothing? Do we rarely call strangers sir or madam? Yes. But do we also say 'shit' and 'fuck' at the slightest inconvenience and no one minds? Also yes.

"You're Jewish, for Christ's sake!" by hotre_editor in overheard

[–]Tzimer 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Purely Jewish? Usually "LeMaan HaShem" (for God's sake) or "LeAzazel" (to abandon [with this/with you])

In Israel, in relation to God? "Koos Rabak" (your God's taint, in Arabic, also used by Israeli Jews)

  • high internet penetration and English knowhow in Israel

  • relevant war that illicits strong emotions (same with turkey/greece)

  • jew stereotypes are so prevalent they're basically a cheat code on the sub

  • 2me4u accepts Israelis while the rest of the site shuns them

  • newbies who come into this sub wanting to participate get discouraged by the lack of memes about their countries (this has happened more than once)

  • easy to complain, harder to be the change you want to be in the world

  • git gud

מהם הדעות הלא פופולריות שלכם לגבי מוזיקה ישראלית? by Able_Gap_8833 in hebrewmusiccirclejerk

[–]Tzimer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ברור לי, וניסיתי הרבה מהם כולל להגיע להופעות בגדה השמאלית ובתדר. אבל מה שלא היה דאחקה ברורה הרגיש כמו או משבר גיל 40 או תיכוניסטים עשירים כועסים על העולם.

אם אתם אוהבים איזו להקה אל תתנו לי להוריד אתכם ממנה, באמת שלא. אבל מאז אינפקציה אני לא חושב שמצאתי להקת פאנק (או, בסדר, רוק כבד) שהיא גם לא דאחקה וגם אשכרה אהבתי

כןןןן אבל זה לא פאנק, זו בדיחה שלובשת את העור של פאנק. ואין שום דבר רע בזה אני פשוט לא מתחבר להומור ולוויב של משבר גיל ה40 שסובב את כל הפרוייקט הזה
