it is possible to reconcile progressive judaism with a belief in reincarnation. after his death bibi will be reborn as a worm that lives in yair's small intestine, can't be dislodged by modern medicine and whispers anguished things to him every time he tries to take a poo poo (which will always be a protracted and painful process, thanks to his father's nasty work further up the poo poo canal). from this position he will have to work his way back up the cycles to human. perhaps if he behaves himself, in the next life he will be a male praying mantis, and after that perhaps a wood louse

but his is an incurably corrupt soul and when he rises to his personal cosmic apex of cockroach in the bombed-out ruins of gaza, he will somehow find a way to gently caress it all up again and find himself back inside his son or another, even more loathsome descendant. revolting lovely little men!

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:In my mind South Africa makes more sense as a basis for comparison but thats not terribly relevant to my Poast The American South maybe? The demographic mix seems more applicable, and I've seen my share of flagpoles bearing both a Confederate and Israeli flag showing the bizarre solidarity between apartheid regimes in the popular imagination of rightists. It also segues easily into recognizing the martyrdom of American Jews like Andrew Goodman and Michael Henry Schwerner in Mississippi. I'm not Jewish myself, but I can relate to being an isolated voice in an increasingly conservative area, watching people you used to respect go further and further off the deep end. I kinda deal with it by looking for inspirational stories from history, and occasionally citing them if I'm feeling bold enough to challenge someone. For example, Vernon Ferdinand Dahmer offered to pay poll taxes for those who couldn’t afford the fee required to vote under Jim Crow. The night after a radio station broadcasted Dahmer’s offer, his home was firebombed and he later died. If I need happier stories I generally go with Cassius Clay (the Civil War politician) who was very much southern in culture, but viciously opposed to slavery. I may not be in the habit of blinding would-be assassins and generally terrible people with a Bowie knife, but I do take a little solace knowing that I can take pride in being a product of my upbringing while also rising above it.

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:This is gonna get a little e/n, sorry. Expat and diaspora descendents can be some of the most frothing nationalists around, about the conflicts they don't or haven't had much to do with at all. This is not at all limited to the Jewish population outside of Israel. Like some strange phenomena where all the nuances and muddling complications of the on the ground reality back in the homeland get turned into vainglorious fables passed down from generation to generation about the old country. My Cypriot wife has gotten into some extremely uncomfortable chats with Greek Americans about her country (usually old/boomer people) where they go whole hog in with "YEAH WHOO DEATH TO THE TURKS!" type stuff and she just kind of ends the conversations really early and comes away with a  face. And she's not even remotely all "why can't we just get along?" about the topic. But lord almighty. This even happened at an Easter church service once, like come the gently caress on. It becomes a nationalist cartoon in these people's hands. Like literal orcs vs humans.See also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xwDK36_REA&t=236s

The party in question here is Otzma Yehudit which just happens to be made up of people who were key Kach supporters and spokespeople and be similarily right-wing racists, so obviously that's totally different.

Not much faith in polls but the most recent ones give the Ganz-Lapid abomination more seats than Likud. Polls still predict that many parties are still teetering right on the edge of the minimal vote threshold, including Meretz form the left but also Kulanu and Jewish Home + Kahanists, if any of these parties fail to pass the threshold it could skew the picture significantly. Arab parties at 12 seats, they're not going to participate in any coalition but they could still prevent Netanyahu from being PM if the right gets less than 60 seats. emanresu tnuocca fucked around with this message at 13:25 on Feb 22, 2019 |

If the last election taught us anything it's that Israeli polls are absolutely worthless. There were also multiple articles I recall about polling "paid for" by various political groups. I would be really surprised to see this new party get more than 25 seats, let alone 30+.

What time do election results tend to come in? Like with the USA, mostly very early morning the next day? Need to know which day to book off work and use to drink myself into oblivion.

Need to know which day to book off work and use to drink myself into oblivion. You'll have exit polls on the night of, and accurate results the next day. It's been known to vary, there was an election, I forget which, where there was one projected winner and the final count gave it to someone else. They're usually accurate to within an MK or 2 though.

It's funny he criticizes Trump for saying that he wants to be an honest broker in the Israel-Palestine peace process, and to not take sides. I wish that was true.

The Middle East Monitor is not a reliable source, and for this reason I'm disinclined to even read their articles. However:Hallucinogenic Toreador posted:So you have no doubts at all about claims that Israel is kidnapping children to steal their organs? This kind of shutdown is annoying. First, Israel doesn't need to kidnap anyone to get fresh organs and more importantly the whole "you can't accuse Israel of doing a bad thing, because that's the same as accusing Jews of doing a bad thing, and that makes you a Nazi!" is getting really, really old.

It seems to have already happened before?

Party Plane Jones posted:It seems to have already happened before? Right, but that's from the same article, which has a variety of accusations with different levels of sourcing and different levels of detail. Were the 1997 tests carried out only on Arabs or on all prisoners? It's implied that the tests were forced on the prisoners but it's not outright stated (of course paying prisoners to take part in medical studies has its own ethical problems but it wouldn't be as bad). Then you have the accusations of kidnapping children for their organs for which the source is the cultural secretary of a Belgian trade union. Having that kind of assortment of accusations doesn't make it seem like a reliable source.
