The far right also supports Israel because that means they can send Jews there. It fits their worldview of every race/ethnicity having their own land. There is no paradox. Besides, Jews and Muslims are killing each other over there. This is why all these far-right politicians are so very Zionist.
None of them attacked innocent civilians in Cambodia: Kissinger bombed innocent civilians in Cambodia. And then after it became known that Pol Pot was a genocidal lunatic, the west started supporting Pol Pot AFTER it became known what he did until his death, while the communists attacked and deposed Pol Pot.
It's always the same: the west murders indiscriminately people in the global south and then act all innocent when this radicalizes the survivors.
Edit: you also mention Vietnam. What Kissinger did there was also monstrous.
You've already made up in your mind that the Palestinians are genicidal, in order to justify their colonization, oppression and murder by the Israelis. You do this for your own peace of mind. You need to do that because if you didn't, you would see it for what it is, a people fighting for its liberation. You require the Palestinians were all perfect pacifists, going along with their own ethic cleansing and genocide.
Kissinger bombed hundreds of thousands of innocent Vietnamese, Cambodian and Laotian civilians, and they gave him a fucking peace prize because he finally stopped.
He is responsible for Pol Pot's rise to power so he's indirectly to blame for Pol Pot's regime. You can't bomb a country to hell and not be responsible for the aftermath.
Post an example of Palestinian people calling for genocide instead of a some unrelated dude.
I know why people keep quoting this unrelated dud:, it's to make you think that "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" is a call to genocide. It's not, it's a call for freedom. Both quotes just use the word "sea", but are otherwise not related.
I mean, there is a big difference between the crimes you commit and the ones you don't commit.
If we're going to judge countries based off what politicians of OTHER countries say, we'll be here all night. Fuck Canada for the shit Trump says, etc.
According to cbs, crime is down significantly since 2010, from 1.2 million registered crimes in 2010 to 806k crimes in 2022. Of course that doesn't give the whole picture. CBS also reported 47% less murder/killings compared to 20 years ago.
Maybe the migrants are more visible now than they were, maybe it's more concentrated in certain parts of the country. It's no secret that the government is really mismanaging the situation.
But that wasn't the point of my initial remark: punching down, blaming the people that have the least power, that's doesn't make sense and isn't fair.
I'm afraid of this becoming a slippery slope. Suffrage (both active and passive) are very important rights that should never be infringed.
You can see the slippery slope in action in America: mass incarceration is being used as a way to take away voting rights from black people. Any loop hole will always be used by the people in power to remain in power.
It's not hard to predict that the right would classify "socialism" as "lying about the economy" and try to take suffrage away from socialists, or whatever they consider socialists that day.
Depends on what compromises he needs to make in order to form a government. The 3rd and 4th biggest parties are also right wing, so I don't think he needs to make many, unfortunately.
I don't think you're completely right here. The two-state solution isn't very popular with regular Palestinians either. A two-state solution cements Israel as ethno-state and doesn't address all the Palestinians already deported.
Also Israeli settlers keep violently stealing people's houses, which I would also consider breaking the ceasefire.
There are certainly Jews that are indigenous to that region, but most of them are not.
And in any case, why would Jews that haven't lived there for multiple generations have more rights to the land than people actually living there?
Can an Irish-American go to Ireland and kick people out of their houses? No! They can move there and get their own house, that's it. Same with Jews wanting to live in Palestine. They can move there, they can't form their own country and deport the people living there. That's called ethnic cleansing.
