A Boring Dystopia

Israel is a product of European Colonization. It predates WW1 and WW2. After learning more about it, IMO it shouldn't exist as it does today.

Jews and Christians and Muslims lived in the area since the religions were invented, we don't need a European colony to still exist.

Only a couple generations separate Auschwitz and Al-Shifa. The lesson we can draw from this is that ethnostates will always end in misery

I think that's the funniest/saddest aspect of all this. My kids are half Jewish. My ex-wife is Jewish so needless to say I am well aware of the complexity of the history surrounding Israel and Palestine.

But damn if Jews have lost the plot.

And we can make aid to Israel contingent on future improvements on the treatment of Palestinians.

At this point, I would argue that Israel has done more for Hamas PR and popularity than anything in the last 20 years.

We can also condem israel for creating this entire situation

Do you think if Hamas dissappear tomorrow, those who throw garbage will stop?

Ted Kaczynski made a lot of really solid points, but bombing people, especially civilians, is wrong.

People still cheer for Luke Skywalker though.

Humans are more tribalistic than rational. They pick sides and justify later.

I mean... It ended. Almost 30 years ago. So it's not happening in the modern day.

Also South Africa still has massive problems between white and black people. I watched a documentary a few years ago where I black paralympian travelled round South Africa to see how things had changed and he was stunned that black people live in shanty towns outside major cities still, also the guy was shown a rich area with private security patrols and high walled residences and the security kept coming back to look at him, basically not trusting him there.

But I've been informed by a bunch of friendly folks from reddit that throwing rocks is a highly dangerous major criminal offense, trialed by the military, in Israel.
