It’s DW, Germany is notoriously hypocritical. Try and debate that Israel is an apartheid state or has been genociding Palestinians and see how far that goes.

Sure, but if the standard is consistent and based on legal precedent. All while the UK allows Israelis to enter the UK and spread actual hateful content that actually causes strife.

I still don’t know if I can make a generalization that it’s because Israelis are predominantly of a faith and therefore are cultish, and by extension likely to be abusers within the faith. In the end, a majority of Israelis are not religious and don’t subscribe to religious doctrine.

So I agree with your second paragraph:

I think these stats are a reflection of just how toxic Israeli culture has become in some areas. It’s a slippery slope from → these types of people are not human to → inhumanity applied to other groups, as we all know. Eventually it is applied on oneself when it becomes so ingrained in the culture.

And because of how sadistic and toxic the culture is, it’s even more apparent in the spinoff cults.

Nothing satanic, it’s just abuse with some dressed up frills to get the victim to accept their abuse. And Israel is choke full of abusers.

Even a survey found that the majority didn’t think forcing another person into sex is considered rape.

College Study: 41 Percent of Women Students Don’t See Forced Sex With Acquaintance as Rape. 61 percent of the male students polled in a small college survey did not equate forced sex with an acquaintance as rape.

South Africa isn’t a totalitarian state, it’s a proportional representative Republic. Which means that if a party has X percentage of votes and seats, they get a seat. South Africa have the GNU (government of national unity) coalition and McKenzie said that he would walk away if he wasn’t given a seat - thereby dissolving government. So he was given the sports ministry, the most insignificant position since the World Cup way back when. And in that role, he’s just pushed his racist rhetoric and corruption

How can you appoint someone like that (a convicted criminal)

• people serve their time and can run in elections and get voted in. Nelson Mandela did it.

So if someone wants to bring up something that they’re not very informed about, it’s called “muddying the waters” of discourse, especially when that person wants to try and push their rhetoric on whether Israel is apartheid and what South Africa’s more accepted stance is on the topic.

Like, why even bring it up if you don’t know much about the politics involved? What point are you arguing by saying that this voice in South African politics says that apartheid doesn’t exist? Should we argue the Jim Crow policies didn’t exist because some MAGAT said so and platform them?

Ah yes, McKenzie who is the president of the Ultra Right wing opposition party (Patriotic Alliance), very racist, very corrupt (gang ties, bribery, embezzlement), and constantly tries to buddy up to Israel because I’m sure Israel doesn’t have a vested interest to promote the opposition in a country calling out their apartheid - especially one that’s just as xenophobic and racist as Israelis.

Probably best to look at who you’re referencing when trying to muddy the waters.

One could argue that they’ve achieved some of the objectives - Israel got a slightly weakened but emboldened Iran to Boogeyman the West with (they even were hoping ahmedenijad would come back to power) and Trump got the conversation off the Epstein files and also enriched himself and family.

I thought Iran ramped up the cyber attacks after the US and Israel started bombing them - like Kash Patel’s email hack.

Is Starmer trying to win easy brownie points while he’s managing everything else horribly? It’s not like he can do anything about ticket prices for things on the other side of the world either.

Ah, so it won’t be covered by the Leahy law that USAID reported as being breached and the US should stop sending military aid to Israel because of that.

I don’t know if we’ve read the same article because it reads as fear mongering defensive improvements with the tone that it’s for offensive use.

China’s nuclear missiles can already reach any city in the United States. Now, satellite images reviewed by Reuters show Beijing is building a sprawling web of launch pads, bunkers and communications nodes near the isolated nuclear silos that hold the Chinese military’s longest-range missiles.

China’s nuclear build-up is among the most scrutinized facets of President Xi Jinping’s military modernization because of what some foreign diplomats describe as Beijing’s lack of transparency and failed efforts by the United States to engage the Chinese leadership on its evolving nuclear capabilities and intentions.

But some senior Western diplomats and analysts say China would possibly resort to nuclear coercion to limit outside involvement in a conflict over Taiwan.

The scale of what is emerging in China’s northwestern desert has left even seasoned analysts startled.

They want absolutely zero condemnation and will throw a hissy fit like the self-entitled little ethno fascists that they are

Is Reuters saying that it’s a bad thing for a country to protect it’s nuclear silos so bad actors don’t blow them up? What’s so nefarious about a country protecting nuclear silos?

I think it’s more telling that they feel the need to do it because it seems that the US and Israel haven’t shied away from hitting nuclear facilities (aka war crimes).

I still can’t believe the complete silence by the global journalism community on how many journalists have been murdered.

I’m already disillusioned by how biased and influenced mainstream media is and even this has been shocking to me. The fact that they can’t even come out to object the murder of others in their industry during a genocide should disillusion so many.

Ah yes, more ethnic cleansing because “hey, they’re all Arab anyways”. Some of the most racist shit I’ve seen today.

I think the key term being used is “mercenary” though

Mercenaries are definitely not all professionals - who do you think are the boots on the ground for all the proxy wars happening today?

Turkey and Russia were flying out Syrian mercenaries to north Africa to fight each other over Libya.

It’s extensively published in military research papers that guns for hire (mercenaries) are becoming much more ubiquitous in today’s proxy wars.

“These IDF soldiers are simply here to protect the prayer groups. Please don’t antagonize the soldiers or prayer groups by simply existing, they might feel threatened”

BBC carrying water for the facists in the UK to ban kids from the internet because they might get radicalized with all the shit the fascists are doing (or indoctrinated by fascist influencers).

Heavens forbid that they actually attack the companies and the algorithms that harm the kids.

Soooo genocide?
