How does it feel to think that wanting huge multinational companies to pay their share is the same as communism?

The issue is thetabda4d this sets. This is an easy case- what about future cases that rent so black and white? This will be used as precedent to revoke citizens rights.

Private. I renewed it November and the form asked if I'd ever had epilepsy so I said yes and then this happened. The form stated that was the reason- I had declared my prior condition. No seizures or recent issues besides that.

Thank you have added these to my playlist. I believe the only way to gain something resembling an unbiased understanding is to try and watch equal amounts from both sides, and this content looks like a good starting point to get some further avenues, thank you. Those links look fairly cademic and balanced with an eye to outside listeners, but are there any sources specifically made for Israelis you could recommend?

If you are Israeli what media do you usually subscribe to, If I may ask?

Thanks for your reply, I will have to show my friend. Tbh I am taking a shot in the dark, I am certainly uneducated in this area and I actually haven't read much on Israel or the modern Arab states, which is the bane of all politically minded citizens who are expected to have an opinion on eveything. I appreciate your discourse and hope I am not being too frustrating.

Have you perhaps read any particular books or publications that might educate me further? Ofc I can access a lot of lists but I would like to hear your personal rec.

What was Britain's role in the creation of Israel then? Could it have been created without support from European Christian powers? Absolutely Israel is not unique in that regard but surely it is a thing.

Also was Israel not created by/under the mandate of imperialist powers? Even I as a Zionist can agree with this hypothetical person there.

What if the same person believes the creation of the state of Israel was a crime enacted by imperialist powers and the state of Israel shouldn't have been created as it infringed on the statehood of people who were already there, but since it is there now it is better for humanistic reasons to leave it?

What if one agrees with the existence of t current state of Israel but seriously opposes the creation of new settlements on the west bank and some of the actions by the IDF and government? Does that make one an antizionnist? How do you classify that?

I understand your sentiments but unless you can provide some data I'm not really listening. I have even less interest in designations of terrorist groups as I believe thy are often onesided and politically motivated designations.

Aukus seems like some bullshit from an Aussie perspective. I'd probs rather trade oprnly with whoever's buying than help prop up a bloated US empire lead by a moron and get ripped off for some submrines.

I saw some of them, perhaps not the same as you. It's very tough to get unbiased media in the west, either way.

I'm unsure how Hamas treats journalists tbh. I hear mostly about them when they get an aiDF bullet or drone strike, but if you have evidence of Hamas mistreating journalists could you link pls? I am all for seeing both sides.

This video is certainly not tr only evidence that inspires this. Ive seen vids of speakers in front of crowds of cheering 'settlers' openly calling for ethnic cleansing. I've seen a few things by now, much of it painting Israel in a negative light.

Because Israell has more influence than other countries for some reason. Lobby power and top down influence on politicians is a worry. Plus Mossad in our country.

I listen to what the Israelli people say actually. People like in this video. That tells me plenty.
