ultimately all regional support for Israel comes from one of two sources: 1) delusion that zionists won’t cleanse us too once they’re done with Palestinians 2) thinking that we can get something in the meantime and of course we’ll be able to jump off the tiger’s back just in time

The Israelis screwed over the South Lebanese Army pretty hard, leaving them hanging when Israel withdrew and Syria moved in. Hezbollah has also worked hard to build a relationship with Christians, sending out Christmas cards and things like that. This mirrors developments in Gaza, where Hamas has worked to reassure the surviving Christian community that they are their protectors against the Israelis. France engineered the political structure of Lebanon to teeter on imbalance between Christians and Muslims, Syria as well, to a degree. Obviously this puts them in a precarious position where they might want to look to outside intervention in times of crisis. I think now most people have come around to understanding Israel as a cause of the crisis and resulting sectarianism rather than a good-faith actor and protector of Christians.

If you're Lebanese, look at the plight of Christians in the West Bank and even Israel, how could you think Israel is the choice to side with here? The Christian-Israeli connection is from people on the outside looking in, almost entirely American Evangelical protestants, or members of American-style Evangelical churches abroad. I don't even know what to say about that, other than it's detached from the reality of what Israeli occupation of the Holy Land has meant, and conditions for Christians in Palestine.

This is not how we work,” Gantz reportedly reacts as well.

There's actually an over-representation of non-white officers, and an over-representation of white enlisted. Most troops come from backgrounds wealthier than the average person.

Black people, and more specifically black women, are significantly overrepresented in the US Army relative to the general population, although they're significantly under-represented if you look at the armed forces as a whole. Similarly, Hispanic people are overrepresented in the USMC, but underrepresented in every other branch. Natives were historically massively overrepresented in the military and there are a fuckload of old veterans on every reservation, but this trend has completely reversed in recent decades and we are now slightly under-represented. Asians and Pacific Islanders are underrepresented in every branch. Overall, the Marines are very white, the Coast Guard are very very white, the Air Force and Army are about as white as the general population, and the Navy is actually slightly less white than the general population, which is kind of interesting. I am genuinely happy that the 'poverty draft' effect doesn't really exist anymore because the thought of kids signing up for the Army to get off the rez is so loving depressing. I can't help but wonder how much of that is due to the increasingly visible and heavy-handed repression rez natives have been subjected to in recent years, with the latest generation of young people growing up being treated as the enemy by uniformed white men with guns and American flag patches Mister Bates has issued a correction as of 21:56 on Feb 18, 2024 |

In a statement, the PMO says that Netanyahu “made a balanced decision that allows freedom of religion with necessary security limits, which have been set by professional officials.” “Any other report is incorrect,” the statement adds, without elaborating on what decision was made and what restrictions will be put in place.
