Except Israel is the greatest decolonization effort man has ever seen.

The British colonized it. Before that the Ottomans colonized it...

Well over half of the people who live there now, are from the region having been kicked out of Iraq, Jordan, Egypt etc AFTER previously being forced out of Israel in the first place or have just been living there continuously.. I'm including the 2 million Arab Israelis in that number. The myth that Israelis are from long island is just yet another antisemitic trope.

Whenever someone tries this argument I like reminding them how Israel was spiraling towards fascist dictatorship immediately prior to this war.

Some cynics would say still counts but everyone else short circuits in the funniest ways.

Tbf, I wouldn’t mind seeing an overhaul of the Supreme Court here in the United States. The Justices have too much power with no term limits and nothing to truly stop them.

Hell, just do the Second Constitutional Convention already.

Weird definition of colonialism.

[-] TigrisMorte@kbin.social -2 points 11 months ago

Placing People not from your country that your country has been forcing to flee from country to country for generations onto land their many times removed ancestors fled, is not the normal definition of colonialism.
Would be closer to a deportation camp than a colonist camp.

Their culture is fucked up because it's run by extremists, and extremism thrives under adversity. Israel created Hamas and continues to cultivate extremism in its adversaries. They know they're doing this and they love it, because it gives them continuing "justification" for escalating atrocities. Both sides are shit. It doesn't justify genocide.
