They are both things to aspire to, but you’re right in that one does not lead to the other.

Yeah this will definitely lead to peace in the Middle East. Israel big brained as always.

Needs more orc ass-popping

Ain’t that just the way

You right lmaooo. That’s funny, I guess I should say oldest democracy with real world power.

Lmao. Cite them sources or me saying Trump blows maggoty cum all over Melania is literally as true as that statement.

If inciting an attack on the capital and destabilizing the worlds oldest democracy doesn’t immediately discount Trump from your voting decisions then you’re braindead lol. Imagine trying to argue past that, despite 9 years of existing with Trump as a political figure.

Eggcellent for egging Nazis on the streets

You need to expand on this claim. Yishuv, from my understanding, is the generation of Jews in Palestine before the formation of Israel. I’m not sure what point you’re making.

The whole story of Zionism pushing the idea of a country “of their own” and destined as a Jewish homeland predates the riots and conflicts that arose from increased Jewish settlement (and literal smuggling) in the area, because of Zionism, and nations like Britain playing up the idea of a promised Jewish homeland with the Balfour declaration for political purposes, and then dropping it when WW1 was over.

The yishuv living in relative peace prior to increased migration from people who believe fundamentally that this was their land is the story of human migration patterns causing strife that has happened throughout history in literally all corners of the world and is a very poor justification for why one group deserves their “ideal” homeland over another.

Agreed. I find the people in my life who blindly support Israel know nothing of the history of Zionism prior to 1948 and think Palestine was given to Israel just because of the holocaust, almost universally omitting that there were already people there and the responsibility of all western governments (I’m considering Russia “west” here) in the oppression of Jews in the years leading up to, and after, the holocaust.

The Behind the Bastards episode on Bibi Netanyahu talked about how he really got his start in the US as a lobbyist for the state of Israel and the media blitz Israel utilized to get both American parties to unconditionally support Israel. Most Americans are just propagandized af.

This NPR article really talked around that detail. It was boring af and ended abruptly.

I feel like this vague statement applies to every religion, as you wouldn’t be following said religion if you didn’t believe it to be “the answer” to life.

As the other guy said though the state of Israel came about from Zionism, which is a fundamentalist sect of Judaism but doesn’t represent all Jews.

This is going to be how the zombie virus comes about. Someone ingests a million year old virus that becomes infectious and boom, we got new COVID.

I saved that thread. Massive respect for keeping us all more informed.

Absolutely love the link dump. More posts need to be like this honestly.

Imagine being this vocally stupid

I mean posts

I think you mean high art

It’s the slightly less motivated “committing”

Lemmy is Reddit from 13 years ago. Here’s hoping it doesn’t go the same way Reddit did lol

That’s been the opposite of my experience here on Lemmy and the exact thing I’m experiencing more and more on Reddit.
