Increased BDS support is a good call out

Expect a lot of change in Israeli-Western relations in the next 20 years as the next generation gains more power in politics and the older generations more likely to support Israel die off.

This is reminiscent of “just wait for the older generations to die off so we can finally elect more progressive candidates” I’ve been told of for the past 20 years. Meanwhile, it seems reactionaries are doing better than they have in decades the world around. I hope you’re right, but I’m not optimistic.

Elimination of AoR leadership was absolutely a strategic goal for Israel. Hopefully increased support for Palestine leads to concrete help for Palestinians, but as far as I can tell so far all it has netted them is a UN general assembly seat. May very well be overlooking something, admittedly. I will also concede that it’s too early to really see the downstream impacts of the war. That said, looking over the history of all the wars and intifadas in the region, I’m not sure I can point to any that didn’t weaken the Palestinian position while strengthening the Israeli one.

Yup, spot on.

They seem to be doing fine. Bibi appears to be cultivating a forever war so he can stay in power indefinitely.

I find Israel’s methods abhorrent, but when I ask myself, are Palestinians better off than they were on October 6th 2023? Is Hamas stronger than it was a year ago? Hezbollah? The answers are all no.

Winning from a realpolitik perspective is simply “is an actor achieving their strategic aims?” So far Israel seems to be while I see no indication of that from the AoR. I think all this is really achieving in the long term for Israel is a perpetuation of generational conflict, but at the same time I’m failing to see what benefits October 7th has netted for anyone besides Bibi getting casus belli.

You do a great job, we appreciate it

UOC MP (Russian Orthodox) representatives reportedly broke through the entrance gates and lobbed tear gas into a crowd of Orthodox Church of Ukraine believers.

Using tear gas on worshipers, just like Jesus would have wanted. The UOC MP is just an appendage of the Russian state, they were right to get booted out of the Cathedral.

Yeah, it seems the only win the axis of resistance has experienced over the past year is Israel’s tanking international reputation, and that’s far more the result of Israel’s actions than anything the AoR has done.

Better give Poland some nukes for parity

Right wing “think”-tank

I love a good weird niche community, thanks for sharing. Recently also joined [email protected], similar vein

Reminds me of the Chernobyl miniseries

We are on dangerous ground right now, because of our secrets and our lies. They’re practically what defines us. When the truth offends, we lie and lie until we can no longer remember it is even there. But it is still there. Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later that debt is paid.

Nice work, thanks for contributing!

How dare you have a different opinion. It’s not hard to block the bot, I don’t see why everyone gets their jimmies so rustled about it.

The sun, enough said

I think they were being deliberately obtuse but I could be wrong

This sent me down a rabbit hole trying to figure out what the deal is with Lebanese politics. Didn’t even know they’ve been without a president for two years

lol forgot about that one

Why would fascists defect to East Germany if West Germany was fascist? I don’t see a single fascist on that list of defectors, just socialists and communists
