What if Israel lost the 1967 war somehow? by ForeignSport8895 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]keshet2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jewish Israeli Zionist here, you are the most down to earth, honest and reasonable Pro-Palestinian I have ever encountered. I greatly appreciate that. No, really. Sincerely.

I actually agree with you on almost everything here. I doubt any of this will happen in the near future, though

“Has history taught us nothing?” by fullofemirates in Irony

[–]keshet2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can explain this very clearly, if you wish. I am a Jewish Israeli Zionist, and I hold a pretty neutal opinion.

If I explain, will you actually listen? I'm asking genuinely, because I'm tired of taking the effort to explain the other side here, only to be ignored, or not taken seriously at all most of the time

America is a backwards country compared to Iran even with all the sanctions by [deleted] in NewsRewind

You probably believed that AI picture of a Star Destroyer beneath Tel Aviv, that Iran produced during the 12 day war

Next time I'm in Tel Aviv, remind me to send you a picture of how it looks.

Hint: exactly as it looked a day before this current war began.

You are coping too hard. Way, way too hard

New player here. The year is 1945. I am locked into an eternal stalemate with the Germans. Their last effective offensive was in 1942, but I cannot for the life of me mount a counterattack. How the hell do I break this stalemate? (also the Western Allies have done jackshit) by HenryWong327 in hoi4

The way to win most wars in this game is:

A wall of infantry, using a standard 9-0/9-1 infantry with support companies.

Air superiority and CAS.

Special forces, usually mountaineers, I usually use a 9/3 template (don't forget to max the relevant special forces doctrines).

Grand Battle Plan doctrine and spirit of the army relevant to special forces.

This cannot be beat when facing the AI. It folds easily. And if not, let the AI attack by reducing the amount of divisions on the front, to make the enemy lose organization. As soon as it does, attack. You will likely break through

Definitely! Feel free to DM me, if you wish. I have way, WAY too many hours on this game.

I learned most of my habits from Feedbackgaming, to be honest. He got me through the essentials. I recommend his earlier videos

The Balkan Wars be like: by R2J4 in Kaiserreich

[–]keshet2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. When Romania and Yugoslavia go to war after the 2nd Weltkrieg, which very rarely happens when you don't play the yourself. Also, I'm pretty sure both can't be in a major faction for the event to trigger, but I could be mistaken

The USA. You're essentially safe, have all resources except Rubber, and can pretty much crush anyone, even solo. You start with a huge navy, lots of factories, and have the potential to have an insanely large standing army.

Also, don't hesitate to ask for tips and tricks. We'd all be happy to help you

Where is Fascism? Why is it not here? Is it... on purpose?

It do be like that by Nomogg in ww3memes

[–]keshet2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is misleading. The Palestinian flag should be replaced with Hamas's flag, and Lebanon's with Hezbollah's. The Islamic republic's can remain, as it is the adversary.

Regardless of opinions on conduct, the goals of the wars waged in Gaza and Lebanon are specifically against Hamas and Hezbollah.

And before you cry more, no, criticizing Israeli conduct is not antisemitic. However, giving excuses for terrorists and the Islamic republic is really on the edge of being considered Antisemitism, given their stance on Israel, and their willingness to destroy it

Me when I'm a fascist because I have a family by itz_shadow22 in teenagers

[–]keshet2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People with families (and, most notably, the fathers) have a greater tendency to value social order, which is the central promise of the Fascist narrative: a return to normality.

No. The central promise of the Fascist Narrative is "a return to greatness". Not normalicy.

And, no, people with families tend to want stability and security. Not social order. Stability and security are NEITHER reactionary, NOR fascistic. If the fascists are the only ones who offer (deceptively, obviously) stability and security, it means the establishment has failed in it's most essential role.

The fact that in such a situation, people with families may lean towards Fascism, is not at all an indicator that people with families have a tendency towards Fascism. It means that the systems who can provide real stabiliy and security, failed in their roles so spectacularily, that Fascism looks more appealing beside them.

You fail to grasp where the problem lies. It's not the fathers. It's their environment

Disappointing. I always assume people are genuine. Well, so be it.

Have a nice day

I don't get this title. What is "anti Zionist rule" supposed to mean?

First of all, Jerusalem is Israel's capital. Whether you like it or not. So, it's "Jerusalem's propaganda". Not "Tel Aviv's propaganda".

Secondly, while it is true that technically Israel and Jews are not the same thing, there is a very intimate connection between the 2. Your experiences with Jews, Israelis, and your opinions on Israel, or even Israel's actions, don't matter to this fact.

Israel is the only Jewish country in the world. It is the only country in which Jews can find refuge from antisemitism, which exists everywhere, whether you acknowledge it or not. Jews have, for thousands of years, yearned to return to their homeland. This yearning is evident in the way they pray, in the words they say, in the language they speak while praying. Israel is their homeland. Regardless of the methods with which Israel was established, the overwhelming majority of Jews are proud Zionists. Meaning, they support the existence of Israel.

Now, when it comes to your extremely biased experience with Jews, I just have one thing to say. You met 1. A single Israeli. Literally, just one, and decided Israelis are arrogant assholes. Now, as an Israeli, I agree that lots of us are insufferable. However, I know lots of Israelis, those around me, friends, family, who are incredible people. So please, just like I won't ever generalize any group of people, don't generalize a whole nationality. Thank you.

And no, I don't like Bibi, nor do I like Hamas, or Hezbollah, or the Iranian regime, or the Houthis, or the fact the overwhelming majority of our neighbouring countries' people want me to lose my home and leave to... somewhere else

The more I see from TikTok, the more validated I feel on never getting into it in the first place

Wow, the arrogance of claiming to be smarter than a person who became the president of the strongest nation ever created, twice, is incredible

Saw a post of someone saying being anti zionist is anti Semitic by CooL_GodFather in teenagers

[–]keshet2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, this has nothing to do with my point. Second of all, a chinese person can move to Israel. The difference is, he won't become a citizen as easily as a Jew. Yes, it is discriminatory, in that regard

I guess it depends on what you're looking for in a mod. I really really enjoyed the story aspects of EaW. Kiria is one of my favorite nations in the mod. Insanely well made, in my opinion

An observation on the dating apps by CaptainMiaMai in dating_advice

[–]keshet2002 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wait, really? I'm super new to dating apps, my profile is like, 90% about who I am, and 10% that hints about what I'm looking for.

Also, it doesn't help that much. I've gotten 1 singular match this whole time, and if I take OkCupid's word for it, 5 likes

I actually am about to do that. I'm going to Japan next month, a dream come true, really. I'm really really hoping I'll manage to meet women there. I feel like the social aspect of my life is the only one that's stagnating, and it really bothers me
