Israel has lost all of my respect in the last year
They should never have had your respect in the first place....
When people recognize they were wrong about something, as smugly satisfying as it may be it's not actually helpful to tell them that they should have been correct sooner.
I don't think it's about being smug. It's about pointing out the important fact that none of this is new except the scale. Divide by 100-1000 and this is just daily life in Palestine.
So Israel’s been shutting down other newspapers before?
No; they just arrest activists and journalists (sometimes but not always have their lackies at the PA do it). Actually shuttering a newspaper is a first AFAIK.
Is that the line? Everything before was fine, but this is what caused them to lose your respect?
Just give it a break for fuck’s sake jesus christ
You respected Israelis a year ago? Please catch up.
edgy
And just like with Russia, my soul bleeds for the people who have nothing to do with this...
At least in Russia the elections were fake
The Kung-Fu is strong
And who would that be? The exactly 1 IDF soldier that refused to fight? Because all Israelis are IDF soldiers.
The children that are not yet IDF
The children are Hamas militants if they live in Gaza.
There was an article posted recently about tens of thousands of Israelis marching in Tel Aviv, demanding Bibi resign and an immediate ceasefire.
they want a new government. it's not about the genocide. they generally support the genocide.
Well idk really, since the only "not USA approved" news I ever get is here, so I can't really make an informed argument either for or against what you're saying. I just don't know how credible any news source may be, regardless whether slant is immediately obvious or not.
There.
It's NYT (yeah not the best source hence the weird slant) reporting on a poll by Tel Aviv university.
Oh gees, I remember reading this now. My fault, thank you for bringing it back to memory. That's... not encouraging at all, is it?
For the hostages. I mean it's not like I don't want the hostages to return but most of them are definitely not there for the genocide. See: How 88% of Israeli Jews support the war, and 94% think Israel is using too little or just enough fire power.
I would love to see sources. I'm American so sources are limited either through our regular choices or my ignorance of outside sources, not to mention the credibility thereof. I'll take a look at any you care to provide.
So I slightly misremembered the 88% question; it's whether the answerer thinks the number of Gazans killed is justified by the war. General support for the war doesn't show up, but it is high (75% backed a Rafah operation back in March).

Thank you. Sad upvote.
Ask any Israeli you see and they'll probably tell you...
