What other country has their roads, electricity, water, trade, and police controlled by another?
What other country is blockaded by all of their neighbors (including Egypt and Lebanon, and even Jordan which is just nearby) for 30-60 years of terrorism?
Like there are words, and then there are facts on the ground. It walks and quacks like an apartheid.
If words don't have any meaning to you, then your argument admittedly makes more sense. When you say "apartheid" you just mean "shit I don't like." It's basically the "neoliberal" of Israel lol
My only disagreement is where population crises come from. These are cultural and economic issues, generally, not necessary consequences of wealth building.
Hamas is not a legitimate government and their atrocities are neither the fault nor the responsibility of the civilian population.
They are the government, and they have been consistently attacking Israel for 16 years, culminating in "Israel's 9/11"
Also, Hamas may want genocide, but they don’t have the power to carry it out.
Imagine Israel without the Iron Dome you don't want to give them money for.
So 6.8 million people have to suffer and die for it?
Suffering happens in war. That's why war is bad. 6.8 million people won't die though. There will be 6.77 million Palestinians in Gaza after this war, ideally closer to a 2 state solution than if Hamas was still around.
Where would they have gotten water for the cement or fuel for the machines?
Turns out the restrictions only applied because Hamas wants genocide. Money can, in fact, be exchanged for goods and services, and was for years prior to Hamas.
And they’re actively at war with Hamas, not the entire population.
They are at war with the government of Gaza, correct.
Hamas didn't build any infrastructure with Iran's money. They built bombs. Israel voluntarily provided power to Gaza, but is under no compulsion to provide power to an enemy they're actively at war with.
People who are trying to buy a home are having to get into bidding wars with investors, who are buying 1/4 homes sold in the last ~9 months.
This only happens because we already have such a shortage that there is guaranteed ROI.
And I’m in the minority of homeowners who do try and vote for making things more accessible knowing it will increase my own tax burden to pay for it, because I will benefit from having a more stable society around me even if my house doesn’t appreciate another $100k.
Same dude! We just gotta keep trying to change more minds.
Yes, just start a YouTube channel and Twitter account. You'll almost certainly see some level of success.
Gotta be easier than getting a Twitch or OF rolling. You don't even need to say anything original. Just copy shit from other right-wing grifters, make it your own, and you're set.
Twitch or OF are more fun, but conservative grift is a lot easier.
People are pretending like this is a big deal when it isn't, and Mickey mouse memes would never have resulted in any sort of action by Disney because they're memes.
Here's an old as shit Mickey Mouse meme. Note how it is still online and no one is in trouble for it, and it isn't even Steamboat Willie.
Expect this to continue for a while because people love feeling like they're "sticking it to the man" even though they could've been doing that for ages and none of it matters.
Housing costs arent even companies being greedy, but homeowners.
I honestly think people don't even know what they're mad at they're just mad. This is why the real problems struggle to get fixed.
I'm not being pedantic here - if you don't understand the problem, you're part of the problem, by definition. Fixing housing requires changing local zoning laws and depowering current homeowners from the ability to pull the ladder up after them to protect their investment. They will never back that en masse on their own, because they benefit.
I think they're bad people who have damaged the country by taking advantage of the depressed and outcast the same way Trump did, and thus I don't give them any clicks.
Yeah, because everyone knows that having 1/12 of the knesset be Arabs means that there’s not systemic inequality and oppression of Arabs and other minority groups
It's proportionate to their population.
About 6.8 million Jewish Israelis and 6.8 million Palestinians live today between the Mediterranean Sea and Jordan River, an area encompassing Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory
This article is about the Palestinian territory, a different country than Israel.
Lol they literally acknowledge it.
The intensity of that discrimination varies according to different rules established by the Israeli government in Israel, on the one hand, and different parts of the OPT,
Yes I'm aware but it's an empty point.
