That's part of it, but it's just one facet of a larger problem:



In other words, extremely high economic inequality and poverty rates, comparable to the US, while the government has largely stopped spending on the general populace and now directs most of its social spending to settlers, yeshivas, and other subgroups with political power.

The housing problem specifically has a fairly simple cause: over 90% of land in Israel is owned by the central government, which doesn't build housing itself but rather sells it to private developers on a piecemeal basis. This system manages to combine the worst parts of private and public land development plans - the government imposes extremely long approval processes and gives plenty of opportunities for NIMBYs to slow things to a crawl, and then stands by and does nothing when the private developer just builds luxury housing and jacks up the prices. On top of that, the government isn't starting enough construction to keep up with population growth, and what little does get built is immediately snapped up by wealthy investors aiming to take advantage of the rapidly rising prices.

The exception, of course, being the settlements, where developers don't actually have to pay for the land, the government actively subsidizes housing and infrastructure to a much higher degree than in Israel proper, and the government often offers expedited processes and accelerated approval for settlement projects. This all amounts to housing being significantly cheaper in the settlements, thanks in large part to a government policy of actively incentivizing that.

i gotta say, yeshivas are some of the most useless fucks in the world.

really the un, in the form of the security council, exists solely to protect the interests of the big powers. the fact they have veto powers on everything makes it insanely broken.

israels desperately wishes its people would gently caress more but like every modern western nation they've fallen into the demographics trap where having more kids is inconvenient to one's lifestyle meanwhile the impoverished palestinians have more children due the cheapness of life so israel is in this position where they fear they'll be overwhelmed.

Ugandan Jews, who not only have a history of practicing Judaism but underwent official conversion to Judaism by a Conservative rabbi (just to be sure), are still being rejected under the Law of Return (because they're black)

reminder they gave ethiopian jews the same treatment. but yeah sure they're nothing like nazi germany

The U.S. stood with Soviet dissidents. It should stand with North Korean ones, too.

gazans using condom balloons to burn israeli fields is very cool but the articles whining about it hosed up cause they actually mentioned the extent of the damage only totals 6000 acres since the fire kiting/ballooning began or approx 9 square miles or 0.1% of israeli territory. i am feeling the terror.

Israeli border communities fearful of Palestinian protests and threats of fire
