Are anti-apartheid Israelis allowed to leave? I know the US tries to funnel as many Jews and sundry white supremacists as it possibly can right over there, but I'm wondering if it's any easier to leave in protest than it is to leave the US.

it's no harder than emigrating for any other reason

which is to say: pretty hard unless you're rich or otherwise privileged

that's what they claim

much like the TSA, it's really a pointless exercise intended mostly as security theater and contractor enrichment

israel places a very high priority on looking like they're doing something about terrorism from Gaza, and engages in a lot of pointless theater just to reassure the populace that yes, the brave IDF heroes are on the case and are totally gonna do something about that bottle rocket that landed a kilometer from the town

the security theater thing is also why the IDF makes sure to always, always bomb Gaza whenever a rocket is detected. it doesn't matter that they've been doing it for years and years and it's never accomplished anything. what matters is that they can announce to the press that Hamas fired X rockets and that the IDF responded by blowing up X+1 Hamas military installations, even though in reality the IDF is just blowing up random buildings so people on the Israeli side of the border can hear the explosions and feel secure that something is being done

for example, on the 9th, Hamas launched 150-180 rockets, and in return the IDF claimed to have blown up 140-150 Hamas military sites. which is of course absurd. the trick is to read closely into their statements. sometimes they give away a few too many details.

for example, when they bragged about how they'd blown up some weapons factories, they showed aerial photos of one of them as an example, and said that the factory had been manufacturing concrete for the ~terror tunnels~. in other words, it was just an ordinary concrete manufacturer, but because Israel categorizes concrete as a "weapon" for blockade purposes, they used that to dub it a "weapons factory".

likewise, whenever the IDF statement talks about blowing up "terror training grounds" and mentions that there were few casualties because the IDF was focused on blowing up "terror infrastructure", that means they couldn't actually find anything to bomb and just attacked open fields to pad the numbers and reach their quota

It's kinda weird tbh, just let them leave. But the Israeli's gotta kill them all because ???

It's not like the Nazi's where they thought all Jewish people had to die, the israelis just want the Arabs gone so they can make greater israel.
i dont rrally get why they dont let them leave. Is Gaza just that useful/profitable as a weapons testing lab?

they won't let them leave because most of them want to return to their homes, which are now in israel, and that can't be allowed to happen

both countries that border Gaza hate the Palestinians and don't want to allow any in

also, the Palestinians don't generally want to leave for good. they want to leave the blockaded area that has no food, buy some food, and then smuggle it back

possibly my favorite Israeli racism is the time a terrorist shot up a subway station, and a random black guy running from the attack was literally lynched by the crowd, and then no one went to jail for it even though they were caught on video literally beating him to death while he lay motionless and unconscious on the ground

Some of the extreme far right ones like Netanyahu and Lieberman would kill them all if they could get away with it.

quote:

After Palestinian flags flown at protest in central Tel Aviv, Israeli parliamentarian moves to ban the controversial symbol from the public sphere.

A nerve evidently was struck among a segment of the Israeli public when earlier this month Palestinian flags adorned the iconic Rabin Square at a protest against the Nation-State Law, which bestows quasi-constitutional status to Israel's Jewish character but fails to reaffirm the equality of all citizens, as enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and other parliamentary laws.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the day after tweeted in reference to the demonstration that, "there is no greater testament to the necessity of this [Nation-State Law]. We will continue to wave the Israeli flag and sing Hatikvah [the national anthem] with great pride."

Happily shilling for China!
So Israel has been trying to figure out some stupid way to allow Gaza to have a port while keeping their prison blockage thing going.
The solution is Cyprus hosts some kind of Gaza port where stuff gets checked and then only from there is allowed to go to Gaza.

Israel being so unused to not being a raging control freak rear end in a top hat has already pissed off any possible Cypriot cooperation by STILL insisting they control and police this port rather than let the Cypriots do it themselves in their, y'know, own territory. Cyprus being a country which has half of itself essentially militarily occupied by Turkey, and two sizable permanent Guantanamo style British bases on the remainder.... ....you don't insist they surrender sovereignty and not expect them to get really pissed off.

So yeah Israel is successfully angering the only normal international relation they have in their neighborhood because they just can't loving help themselves.

Cyprus refusing is likely the intended result, that way they can deflect blame onto Cyprus

there's no real reason to involve them otherwise
