Why did they even do that?
Why did they even do that?
Apparently it’s the former. Their prosecution rate is 8% apparently according to Wikipedia, because they’re too understaffed to deal with cases that can go either way. They also have a false confession problem, but that’s not what’s getting them to that rate.
Not quite. This has been a thing since before the Holocaust, and holocaust victims are actually targets of discrimination in Israel.
Egypt is a strong supporter of the Palestinians
Funniest joke I’ve seen today.
So of course in the end it should come down to what you want to do and where you see yourself living a happier life, and not what people on the internet think you should do. However, purely from a “making the world a better place” perspective, I’d recommend not returning. I get the idea of trying to change society from within, but frankly I think Israel in its current state is beyond saving. The sense of invincibility, among other issues, is too much for simple activism to fix; the country as a whole needs the Nazi Germay treatment (the de-Nazification part, not the war part). At least by not being in Israel you make sure your tax money and children aren’t used in genocide.
I repeat, do what you feel is best for you, but to directly answer your question your absence does more to weaken the Israeli Apartheid apparatus than your presence. Do vote though; definitely vote.
Amazing. Depressing, but amazing.
Not would. Remember when the ICC tried to investigate US war crimes in Afghanistan?
And no mention of Israel. Classic.
Fuck me the USA has turned into Russia,
Always has been. There’s a reason all meaningful Israel-related UN resolutions are 50+ years old.
Oh they’re gonna sanction people. I thought this was a bigger deal, but I guess it’s a nothing-ish burger.
I love this meme.
I mean yes but it’s diminishing returns. The rule kind of falls apart at these numbers.
As an Egyptian, yes.
Not that I doubt it, but what did the US do to Canada?
Is nobody going to mention how refusing a temporary ceasefire (aka being genocided again after 6 weeks) is apparently “hardline”?
I mean they’re biased; that’s normal. The thing is: Does that bias get in the way of the factuality of their reporting? Given that they have a pretty long track record, there needs to be a source that proves they’re unreliable.

This is your “highly non-objective organization”. At this point you need sources. And let’s face it, Hamas was right to tell civilians to not evacuate. Do you have the slightest idea how messy a complete evacuation of the north Gaza strip would be like? Especially into the also overcrowded, starving south sid Hint: It would be a much worse bloodbath than what we’re seeing now. Not to mention many people already evacuated south, found themselves being bombed there too, didn’t find shelter and the like, and went back.
“Evacuate Northern Gaza” was a moronic take a month ago and it’s still moronic now. Also I’ll need to see those reports you’re talking about.
I love me some karma.
