You know how sometimes we talk about people living in an information bubble of their own making, or huffing their own farts? Getting high on their own propaganda supply? Fail kid heirs of elites long gone now running things?

It's that.

They're crazy op. They're willing to alienate the entire western world over this because they're assuming America will never decide that Israel is more trouble than it's worth and throw them to the dogs.

gradenko_2000 posted:

The Rand Rebellion (Afrikaans: Rand-rebellie; also known as the 1922 strike) was an armed uprising of white miners in the Witwatersrand region of South Africa, in March 1922. Jimmy Green, a prominent politician in the Labour Party, was one of the leaders of the strike.

The young Communist Party of South Africa (CPSA) took an active part in the uprising on grounds of class struggle whilst reportedly opposing racist aspects of the strike,[4] as did the syndicalists. The racist aspect was typified by the slogan; "Workers of the world, unite and fight for a white South Africa!" and by several organised attacks against blacks.[5]

Smuts' actions caused a political backlash, and in the 1924 elections his South African Party lost to a coalition of the National Party and Labour Party.[3]: 292  They introduced the Industrial Conciliation Act 1924, Wage Act 1925 and Mines and Works Amendment Act 1926, which recognised white trade unions and reinforced the colour bar.[10] Under instruction from the Comintern, the CPSA reversed its attitude toward the white working class and adopted a new 'Native Republic' policy.[11][12]

It's not meant to make anyone feel good. It's bait. You're supposed to make a remark about Israel using a downsie or something in an offensive manner then get banned off your social media platform for it once you bite.

You are being dared to mention the emperor has no clothes, so to speak. Mentioning the emperor is naked is also grounds for ostracism and such.

Yeah about kibbutz

quote:

Israeli law permits towns in the Negev and Galilee (which comprise two-thirds of the land in Israel) with up to 400 households to maintain admissions committees that can reject applicants from living there for being “not suitable for the social life of the community” or for incompatibility with the “social-cultural fabric.” This authority effectively permits the exclusion of Palestinians from small Jewish towns, which Adalah, a human rights group based in Haifa, estimated in 2014 make up 43 percent of all towns in Israel, albeit a far smaller percentage of the country’s population. In a 2015 study, Yosef Jabareen, a professor at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, found that there are more than 900 small Jewish towns, including kibbutzim, across Israel that can restrict who can live there and have no Palestinian citizens living in them.

Part and parcel of pushing Israeli Arabs into reservations, that can be destroyed at any time by the Israeli army.

I am not a diplomat by trade but saying you're going to "teach the UN a lesson" in a threatening tone does not appear to me an effective strategy for winning international support

Seriously though what is with these US client states (Israel, Ukraine) and their constant threatening and badgering of potential sympathetic parties.

Empires in a position of primacy don't negotiate, they dictate.

Specifically the people who built everything up have long since died or retired. The empire is in the hands of fail kids. They have no idea how anything works and are just pulling levers of control without knowing what they do. There is no talent based best person for the position activity going on in the halls of power nor has there been for some time.

There might be a steam train going off a cliff analogy in there.

There's definitely been some muddying of who the victims were. Israel has tried to paint them as all civilians, despite a large amount of causalities being IDF soldiers on base. Then there's the self-defence groups of citizens lead by IDF members. It's not unreasonable to expect Hamas to fire upon armed 'civilians' who were firing back.

We'll probably know after this conflict ends what the breakdown of victims were. But I feel it's more combatants than Israel is letting on.

They don't need international support as long as the US is behind them. It must feel really nice to tell the UN to eat poo poo when they will indeed be forced to eat said poo poo.
