Hyperbole here but sometimes I feel like half of EU policy hinges on how much they can subsidize farmers and landowners.

there must be a point where 'thou shalt not kill' and 'turn the other cheek' wins out.

You're in the hexbear news megathread. Your vision of reality is fundamentally different from someone who consumes american media, or who is subject to the censorship you see in campuses and american mainstream social media. Just as you wouldn't ask the palestinians to turn the other cheek to the state that massacres them, christian supremacists in the US don't have to strain their minds in solving these contradictions. They are all properly insulated.

The only thing Israel (the State) cares about is that there be a critical mass of voters in the US who are slavishly pro Israel. Those who still are pro Israel today will continue to be that forever, and no amount of Jesus Christ in their lives will change that. Worst case scenario, the current zionist president Israel hates will lose the elections next year and Israel will get a zionist president they like.

But to go back to your initial question: asking wether Israel (or Israelis) even cares about optics is something else. Simply put the Israelis have been othering and massacring the palestinians for so long, that they are simply speaking their truth online. The israeli people are ghoulish and murderous towards palestinians because that is normal in Israel. There is nothing strange about israeli tiktok viral challenges about laughing and singing at crying old women who lost their entire families, or posting videos online about fun it is to torture palestinians. The Israelis are documenting their own war crimes because they are proud of it all.

You don't spend 70+ years dehumanizing a people without becoming a little bit inhuman yourself. You just can't.

so what you're saying we the US should sell them 5000 planes

he who rules istanbul is the roman emperor

silly teekeeus. they aren't the gardeners. they are the garden and they are ripe for a pruning by the state department.

There are a lot of reasons why right wingers and all sorts of supremacists support Israel. It's been baked into their political movements for half a century + now. You've got the christian dominionists, who want Palestine to be jewish as they see it as a requirement for the end times. You've got anti semites who enjoy both the fact that Israel is killing people who they hate even more (muslims), and that Israel is doing it far away from 'The West'. And you've got reactionaries who simply stand against anything they perceive to be a 'left wing' project.

What ties every one of these groups and others is the idea of good jews and bad jews. Good jews are israelis, as they are 'ethnonationalist' and carry out policies they wish to implement in their own countries. Bad jews are socialists, liberals, and left wingers. Whenever right wingers use the word globalist they harken to this supposed divide. It is only the hardcore anti semites who buckle the trend a bit and believe that, actually, all jews are globalists and the jewish conspiracy is that 'white countries' are not allowed to follow the same policies as Israel.

It's like that twitter post succintly put. People like Elon Musk will eventually reach an agreement with the israeli lobby. It's ok to be anti semite, as long as you don't criticize israeli apartheid.

Sorry, I forgot to write the second paragraph there. Ie the other side of the coin.

Sure it could be that Millei will literally dismantle argentinean society. But that's not at all necessary. Some privatization processes take a while, especially when it comes to public services like justice, education and health care. It's easier to sell off an extraction company. But with the former what you need is a longer term plan for enshittification of state services. Cutting down the bureaucracy and the number of public servants, killing investment, and so on, creates long term damage which subsequent governments would have to pay a premium to fix. And they probably won't be able to afford to do so.

actually you're the neoliberal because you think states shouldn't have rights
