@idonakash9169 There is a difference between an authoritarian system and a fascist system. Saudi, Iran, etc, are authoritarian. In Israel there is a culture of paranoia (due largely to historical and ongoing injustices committed by the government and military), and thus a worship of the state, and its protector, the military. In other states, they respect the military and all this, but the military is not neck deep in sadism and injustice. Did you see that video from the WB checkpoint posted a few days ago? That sadistic soldier keeps trying to kick the man’s legs out from underneath him. Anywhere else in the world, that is disgusting behavior, but to the vast majority of Israelis, that is heroic behavior and should not be criticized, etc. Israeli culture will be its own doom. Once a people find that kind of behavior normal and good, they show there is something rotten in their society.

@idonakash9169 Brother, I have no issues with you, Hebrew, Jews, or Judaism, but to me I see Israel as being a facist state, and the people, for a combination of reasons go along with this and many seem to demand it.

@idonakash9169 Those states they don’t worship the military, and many people despise the government. Israel the people may despise the particular prime minister (and I don’t even know if that’s true), but they overwhelmingly endorse the sadism and suffering that is being committed. There is not anything like this in any middle eastern state. Citizens working to block aid; people laughing at destruction of homes, graveyards, schools, hospitals, and lives; checkpoints; separate roads for different people; ‘settlers’ tormenting neighboring villages; etc. It’s just very ugly behavior, and it’s done by the citizens, the soldiers, and the government leaders. Iran, Egypt, etc, is nothing like that.

I think their language is rebranded Yiddish, but I would be wrong about that. Either way, it’s a recently developed language, not the original Hebrew.

@idonakash9169 I find that hard to believe. On what basis do you say that?
3
@idonakash9169 That just means that modern Hebrew is a superset of Biblical Hebrew. It does not exclude the possibility that modern Hebrew was engineered recently, from the ground up, and with provisions to include that kind of backward compatibility.

@idonakash9169 Something that I don’t believe most Israelis appreciate is that Palestinians view them, the way they view Nazis. Take that as a given for a moment, and tell me what would have been the atmosphere in one of those concentration camps if the people saw one that that a group of them had broken out and later returned with captives or injured people from among their tormenters. It would have been celebratory. People would not be thinking about anything except that this is the end of their torment.

@idonakash9169 Suggest you look up clips from the film Tantura to get an idea of how the IDF was behaving in 1948. They wiped out entire villages, and that’s how the people ended up in Gaza in the first place. Whether you want to admit it or not, whether you want to say the Palestinians are not a real people; the Palestinians weren’t given the land by God; etc, the reality is there were people living on that land when the European immigrants arrived and tried to make a state. Those people didn’t want to be a part of that state, and the Europeans behaved like they did in other regions of the world that they traveled to and took over. That is the root of everything here, and because they were so brutal, they are now always paranoid that the people they were and are brutal to, will come back one day, and that is why they worship the military and all this. They created this big problem, and everything since then is an artifact of that all.

@LatheEvergreen Palestinian Jews spoke Yiddish? I doubt that. As far as I know the whole of the Arab region of the Middle East spoke the Arabic language, and the exception might be the Ottoman’s tried to force Turkish instead. I have never heard of anybody in the Middle East speaking Yiddish. Yiddish is European, perhaps related to German. Maybe they used the Hebrew character set to write it, but it is not a middle eastern language.

@LatheEvergreen I would not call those people Palestinian Jews. That’s like calling the French who colonized Algeria as ‘white Algerians.’

@idonakash9169 Brother you are talking about a group of 5-10 people, who after 15 years of living under lockdown, and otherwise have had their family homes taken from them and been cooped in refugee camps. You are taking about them in the moments that they are witnessing their militia men returning with military vehicles and all this, and they are probably thinking this is the end of their life long nightmare. That is very different from Israelis after six months now still thirsty for more carnage. Very different from even before Oct 7, West Bank Israelis burning down crops and beating up Palestinians. In the incident you bring up, there are two questions you don’t ask: 1. Why do the people feel so much hatred in the first place? Have Israelis done anything to inspire that sentiment, or they are just innocent bystanders who have never acted sadistic over the past 80 years. And two, why did they bring back this woman in the first place? I don’t know what happened to her, but my understanding is that they tried to get her to a hospital, rather than just leave her there injured. It doesn’t excuse if someone deliberately harmed her, but I believe they were at least trying to get her to safety.

@user-wq6sz7vt3wWhat are the lies, dumdum? That Israel has a sane society? That’s a massive lie, alright.

This guy is just repeating the standard talking points. He’s right about one thing: Israel is a western county. They don’t fit into the Middle East at all, and impose themselves on that region, only bringing destabilization and suffering. Their culture has a western arrogance and violence not seen among any of the cultures native to that region.
