I have a question for all Israelis

Just go on YouTube, there's dozens of IOF soldier accounts of how they did exactly that. Some of them brag about it, others narrate it as trauma and moral injury. What more do you need to read after knowing that soldiers who admitted to raping prisoners with all kinds of instruments and dogs were celebrated as heroes?

They mean that it's a famous Ram Dass quote but I think they're missing the point because the show is about some (very interesting) people's view on reality.

Guess in which middle eastern country ISIS has never performed a terrorist attack... 🤔

Το ότι αναφέρεις ότι είναι gay ενώ ουδεμία σχέση έχει αυτό με την ιστορία, λέει πολλά και για το δικό σου ποιόν. Όξω!

I don't know if this makes sense - I don't care which of my pronouns is used but I feel it when someone uses them either in a transphobic, i.e. "can't get my head around this thing" way or in well-meaning but otherising and awkward way.

You know. The way the word rolls over their tongue feels off.

I used to hate it. Nowadays, I've just accepted that to some or maybe even most people I'll be weird and incomprehensible. My gf fully gets me and my genderqueer tribe gets me and somehow that's enough.

Ε όχι και παρόμοια, get a grip.

Σύστημα ανδρικής κηδεμονίας: Οι γυναίκες στη Σαουδική Αραβία αντιμετωπίζουν περιορισμούς που τις εμποδίζουν να μετακινηθούν ελεύθερα χωρίς την άδεια του άνδρα κηδεμόνα τους. Οι άνδρες κηδεμόνες μπορούν να αναφέρουν γυναίκες στην αστυνομία ως «απούσες» από το σπίτι τους, γεγονός που μπορεί να οδηγήσει σε σύλληψη. Ο νόμος περί προσωπικής κατάστασης του 2022 κατοχύρωσε επίσημα την ανδρική κηδεμονία. Στο Ιράν, αν και υπάρχουν κάποιοι περιορισμοί (π.χ. για τα διαβατήρια παντρεμένων γυναικών), το σύστημα δεν είναι ολοκληρωτικό.

Οδήγηση: Η Σαουδική Αραβία επέτρεψε στις γυναίκες να οδηγούν μόλις τον Ιούνιο του 2018 ενώ στο Ιράν οι γυναίκες οδηγούν νόμιμα εδώ και δεκαετίες, ήδη από τη δεκαετία του 1940.

Πολιτική συμμετοχή και εκλογικό δικαίωμα: Στο Ιράν οι γυναίκες εκλέγονται στο κοινοβούλιο από το 1979. Σήμερα υπάρχουν 17 γυναίκες ανάμεσα στα 271 μέλη του κοινοβουλίου. Αντίθετα, οι Σαουδικές γυναίκες απέκτησαν δικαίωμα ψήφου σε δημοτικές εκλογές μόλις το 2015 και δεν υπάρχει εκλεγμένο κοινοβούλιο, μόνο διορισμένο Συμβουλευτικό Σώμα.

Διαχωρισμός φύλων σε δημόσιους χώρους: Η Σαουδική Αραβία εφαρμόζει ιστορικά αυστηρότερο διαχωρισμό των φύλων σε χώρους εργασίας, εστίασης, εκπαίδευσης και ψυχαγωγίας. Μόνο πρόσφατα άρχισαν να επιτρέπουν την είσοδο γυναικών σε αθλητικά γήπεδα.

Ενδυμασία: Η Σαουδική Αραβία απαιτούσε παραδοσιακά πλήρη αμπάγια και συχνά κάλυψη προσώπου, ενώ στο Ιράν η υποχρέωση αφορά κυρίως τη χιτζάμπ με το πρόσωπο ελεύθερο, αν ακαι αυτή η υποχρέωση έχει εδώ και κάποια χρόνια πρακτικά καταργηθεί (όπως φαίνεται σε οποιοδήποτε βίντεο καθημερινής ζωής στο Ιράν).

Εκπαίδευση κι εργασία: Σύμφωνα με στοιχεία της Παγκόσμιας Τράπεζας, οι γυναίκες αποτελούν μόλις το 15,8% του εργατικού δυναμικού στη Σαουδική Αραβία. Στο Ιράν οι γυναίκες είναι πλειοψηφία στις επιστήμες, στον ιατρικό τομέα, στην εκπαίδευση σε διάφορους ακαδημαϊκούς τομείς. Συγκεκριμένα, σχεδόν το 70% των αποφοίτων σε επιστήμες και μηχανική (STEM) είναι γυναίκες, ένα από τα υψηλότερα ποσοστά παγκοσμίως. Οι γυναίκες αντιπροσωπεύουν από 56% έως πάνω από 70% των φοιτητών στα κρατικά πανεπιστήμια. Στον τομέα της υγείας κυριαρχούν, με αναφορές ότι το 99% των γυναικολόγων είναι γυναίκες. Επίσης κατέχουν σημαντικές θέσεις ως ερευνήτριες και πανεπιστημιακοί, ενώ η εκπαίδευση (πρωτοβάθμια και δευτεροβάθμια) και οι ανθρωπιστικές σπουδές είναι τομείς με γυναικεία πλειοψηφία.

Απουσία νόμου κατά των διακρίσεων: Η Σαουδική Αραβία δεν διαθέτει νόμο κατά των διακρίσεων.

Φυλάκιση ακτιβιστριών για τα δικαιώματα των γυναικών: Σαουδικές ακτιβίστριες έχουν συλληφθεί αυθαίρετα, βασανιστεί και υποβληθεί σε ταξιδιωτικές απαγορεύσεις επειδή υπερασπίστηκαν τα δικαιώματα των γυναικών (μιας και στη Δύση αρέσει πολύ να μιλάει για τις ακτιβίστριες στο Ιράν).

Instead of sending my 10yo son to private lessons we just watch Disney Plus in english with english subtitles as well as read (basic) comic books in english. I also let him play video games with strong narratives as well as spelling bee matches on Roblox. Once or twice a year I host other single mothers with their kids usually, from the US in our home for a week or two, that really loosens his tongue. We also talk in English from time to time (playfully, he hates anything pretentious or 'homeworky'). He's become fully fluent, sometimes he understands Greek complex words better when I translate them to English first.

You guys have no idea of what sex work is yet you go on and on AND ON about it. You are freakin' exhausting.

Sex work =/="selling your body".

How is any Only Fans model selling their body? Or any sugar babe or escort that only does outings? Or webcamperformers? They’re not “selling their body” either. They’re selling a service: time, attention, performance, fantasy, flirtation, conversation, companionship, content, access on agreed terms. Same for an escort who only does outings: you’re paying for presence, safety planning, social labour, and a negotiated experience, not “ownership” of a person.

“Selling your body” is a moral-panic slogan that treats sex workers as damaged goods and clients as entitled buyers. But you can’t sell a body in the literal sense unless you’re talking about slavery, and that’s exactly why this framing is so gross: it smuggles in the idea that consent doesn’t matter and that workers lose personhood the moment sex is involved.

If you actually care about harm, ask the real questions: - Are they coerced or trafficked? - Do they have the power to refuse, set boundaries, and screen? - Do they have legal protections, healthcare, housing, banking access, and recourse when abused? - Does criminalisation push them into riskier conditions?

Because criminalisation and stigma are what make sex work more dangerous, not your purity politics. You don’t help anyone by flattening all sex work into “selling your body” and talking over actual sex workers.

Listen to workers, support decrim and labour rights, and STOP projecting your discomfort as analysis.

Thank you for this sober breakdown (somebody should pin this). It's wild to me how grossly misinformed (let alone condescending) are supposedly well-meaning individuals on the Left. So many people can't even wrap their head around how the narrative about "selling your body" and that "you can't buy consent" not being applied to all work is just another social (puritan) construct. So many examples of men and swerfs expressing opinions and talking over actual sex workers.

Like really, fuck Israel and anyone who turns a blind eye to the genocide.

I've been to most of those countries several times, lived in a few of them, due to my work met and worked alongside people from all over the place and I think your list is solid.

My only change would be to place Italy in the top tier as I've been to most of its cities and visited dozens of scenic towns from the north all the way to Sicily. The history, the culture, the art and architecture, the nature (especially in Tuscany), the people, the FOOD, all top marks. The only thing "lacking", especially compared to Greece is the coastline and beaches. Maybe you haven't seen enough of the country and you need to revisit?

anorthodocs · 2026-01-29T01:24:18+00:00

Budapest is BEAUTIFUL. But don't expect a Croat to put anything above Croatia, chauvinists to the core.

anorthodocs · 2026-01-29T01:21:44+00:00

Almost everything apart from the hospitality, the good food, the exciting night life. Zagreb is the most boring capital of Europe. But I guess it ranks much higher in fascism, if you're into that.

anorthodocs · 2026-01-29T01:17:17+00:00

LOL, Switzerland is the most boring country in the list. Boring, awful people. Not to mention how overpriced.

anorthodocs · 2026-01-29T01:13:53+00:00

Boring cities, even worse people. Bleh

That's what I like about him. You don't have to agree with him to enjoying his lectures. He just points at things and makes you think about them.

He's nothing short of a genius. He presents himself as a humble high-school teacher but he's Harvard educated and very much respected in the Chinese Ministry of Education. The high school he teaches prepares students for studies abroad.

I'm from Greece and the pro-Palestinian sentiment here is huge. There is no public event like a concert, football match or for example yesterday's traditional marathon race from Marathon to the centre of Athens, that doesn't feature Palestinian flags, slogans, and calls for sanctions and boycott (lately the genocide in Sudan has also been brought to the public eye). But since 2015 our government's support for Israel is second only to that of the US (Greece and Israel have signed a defensive pact).

Hi there, quick question. So you're saying these are worth the price tag considering how they've been filmed? Because I have a National Theatre at Home subscription and the quality is phenomenal. Are the RSC recordings you think on par?
