“Should we publish your search results, that text with your affair and have your teenager arrested for his drugs? No? Then come over to the office on Friday at 4 PM and suck our dicks. We mean that literally by the way. Brush your teeth beforehand.”

War has not been declared, as Palestine is under illegal occupation. Read the ICJ ruling of last year.

What you are saying is like claiming Ukraine declared war on Russia for resisting the Crimea occupation and the green men in Donetzk.

Also just entertaining your logic for a moment. Israel murdered more than 200 Palestinians in 2023 before Oct. 7. Add to that hundreds every year before that. Add to that all the hostages Israel is taking sinced decades.

Your logic is again based on ignoring everything that Israel is doing all the time, until something happens and they cry victim.

Once Israel expanded into all these countries, there will be a whole bunch of new “threats” neighboring it.

Iran is in the right not to want to have a foreign airforce invade and bomb everything.

Especially after the West unilaterally broke the JCPOA and now is piling onto Iran with lies about a nuclear weapon being close, despite even the CIA denying that. We are roped into another Iraq style invasion, which btw. muredered about half a million to a million Iraqis.

Iran is in the right to oppose that shit and the US and Israel are in the wrong for doing that.

Doesnt mean Iran is “good”.

Northern African countries are among the most developed on the continent, what are you talking about?

Also Algeria had to fight a century and the last two decades of it in a genocidal war waged against it by the french colonial empire that did the same settler colonial shit Israel is doing now.

Hamas killed about 400 Israeli occupation soldiers on Oct. 7 for which it has the right as every people has the right to resist illegal occupation. That doesn’t justify attacks on Civilians or taking them hostage ofc. Hamas immediately thought to negotiate a hostage swap to free some of the about ten thousand Palestinians held hostage by Israel in so called “administrative detention” aka. no charge no access to legal defense and torture and abuse.

What Hamas miscalculated was how completely genocidal Israel is and how it is supported in that by the West and Israels regional allies, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Jordan…

Blaming the genocide waged by Israel on Hamas is peak cynicism.

Also if Hezbollah and Houthis would have wanted to do something similar, they would have went in full force on Oct. 7 too. Instead all that Hezbollah did for months was send some symbolic rockets and mortar fire.

Because the US and Israel have been killing tens of thousands if not millions of Iranians directly and indirectly over the past century.

Israel and the US helped the Shah build his intelligence forces, which murdered, tortured and dissappeared tens of thousands of people. Then the US lead Saddam Hussein to invade Iran, killing a milliom Iranians over the course of 8 years. How much Israel was involved in that is unclear.

Imagine Poland would have adopted the slogan “death to Germany” after WWII. Would you consider Poland a major crisis? What about Ukrainian sentiment towards Russia since the invasion? If Ukraine would seek nukes in 30 years, would you also see that as major crisis?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Maxwell#Mossad_allegations;_Vanunu_case

The Foreign Office suspected Maxwell of being a secret agent of a foreign government, possibly a double agent or a triple agent, and “a thoroughly bad character and almost certainly financed by Russia”. He had known links to the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), to the Soviet KGB, and to the Israeli intelligence service Mossad.[58]

Shortly before Maxwell’s death, Ari Ben-Menashe, a former employee of Israel’s Military Intelligence Directorate, approached a number of news organisations in Britain and the US with the allegation that Maxwell and the Daily Mirror’s foreign editor, Nicholas Davies, were both long-time agents for Mossad. Ben-Menashe also claimed that, in 1986, Maxwell informed the Israeli Embassy in London that Mordechai Vanunu revealed information about Israel’s nuclear capability to The Sunday Times, then to the Daily Mirror. Vanunu was subsequently kidnapped by Mossad and smuggled to Israel, convicted of treason and imprisoned for eighteen years.[59]

In November 1991, Robert Maxwell’s body was found floating in the sea near the Canary Islands and Lady Ghislaine.[38] Soon afterwards, Ghislaine flew to Tenerife, where the yacht was berthed, to attend to his business paperwork.[26] She attended her father’s funeral in Jerusalem alongside Israeli intelligence figures, president Chaim Herzog, and prime minister Yitzhak Shamir, who gave his eulogy.[39][40] Although a verdict of death by accidental drowning was recorded, Maxwell has since said she believes her father was murdered,[41] commenting in 1997: “He did not commit suicide. That was just not consistent with his character. I think he was murdered.”[42] After his death, Robert Maxwell was found to have fraudulently appropriated the pension assets of Mirror Group Newspapers, a company that he ran and in which he held a large share of ownership, to support its share price.[43] Pension funds in excess of £400m were said to be missing, and 32,000 people were affected.[44] Two of Maxwell’s brothers, Ian and Kevin, who were the most involved with their father in daily business dealings, were arrested on 19 June 1992 and charged with fraud related to the Mirror Group pension scandal.[45] The brothers were acquitted three and a half years later in January 1996.[46]

The claims are being made by the alleged former Israeli spy Ari Ben-Menashe in a soon-to-be-released book “Epstein: Dead Men Tell No Tales” in which he said that he was the handler of Ghislaine’s father Robert Maxwell, who was also an Israeli espionage agent and was the one who introduced his daughter and Epstein to Mossad.

“See, fking around is not a crime. It could be embarrassing, but it’s not a crime,” Menashe wrote in the book. “But fking a fourteen-year-old girl is a crime. And he was taking photos of politicians f**king fourteen-year-old girls—if you want to get it straight…They [Epstein and Maxwell] would just blackmail people like that.”

The report’s author, Vicky Ward, cites four separate sources, some of which are considered more reliable than others. According to the report, Robert Maxwell - a conduit between the Israeli government and other governments during his life - introduced Epstein to Israeli leaders. Maxwell invested tens of millions of dollars into Israel’s economy, serving as a point man for its governments. According to a Washington Post article published after his death, he visited Jerusalem once a month and even considered purchasing the Beitar Jerusalem soccer team. However, Epstein claimed in a 2002 interview with Ward that he had never met Maxwell. He did, however, have a well-known relationship with his daughter Ghislaine who is currently awaiting trail for charges related to helping Epstein in alleged sex-trafficking of minors. Epstein did visit Israel in 2008, almost moving permanently to avoid jail time. He decided against it, however, facing 13 months in jail, before being released on July 22, 2009. According to The Rolling Stone report, Epstein spent the last years of his life bragging to people, including journalists, that he was an advisor to an assortment of foreign leaders - including Israel. The article states he was known as a “hyper-fixer,” somebody who can go between different cultures and networks.

Quality over quantity.

Great places to socialize are sports-clubs, social-clubs, volunteering, activism, religious communities…

I’d much rather spend five hours a week distributed over two or three occasions with people i share interests with, than with people i share work with. Meanwhile at work i am mostly engaged in small talk, that is quite repetitive as i see the people every day and i have to guard what i can say and what i cannot say more than in other circles.

That makes gender more like “ethnicity”/“race” rather than “culture” don’t you think?

Problem is that “race” isn’t just cultural. How you will be treated definitely depends on how other people perceive your “race” and subsequently it will shape your life reality.

That person you gave as an example? In the US, Canada or most European countries he will be treated better than an actual Citizen born and raised in the respective country who is perceived as “black” or “brown”.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel–Russia_relations#Drones

In April 2009, Russia purchased its first package of drones from Israel (the Bird Eye-400, eight I-View Mk150 and two Searcher Mk.2 UAVs). The deal was worth $53 million.[231] In a second deal, at the end of 2009, Russia purchased an additional 36 drones from Israel, in a deal worth $100 million.[228]

In October 2010, in a third deal, Russia purchased an additional $400 million of drones from Israel Aerospace Industries. The Israeli drones are to be assembled in Russia.[232] The production of the Russian-Israeli drones began in 2012, and delivery to the Russian military is scheduled for 2014.[228]

In 2015, one of the drones was reportedly shot down by the Ukrainian military near the city of Donetsk, Ukraine.[233]

In September 2015, the Russian Army purchased another $300 million package of drones from Israel, its fourth purchase of Israeli drones.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel–Russia_relations#2022_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine

On 24 February 2022, Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid spoke out against the Russian invasion of Ukraine, stating “Russia’s attack against Ukraine is a serious violation of international order,”…

Lapid’s remarks were criticized by Opposition Leader Benjamin Netanyahu, who urged the Israeli government “to speak less about what they don’t need to talk about” on Russia and accused the government of “too many unnecessary expressions and too many false predictions”.

Israel declined to co-sponsor a UN Security Council resolution condemning the Russian invasion, leading to an expression of disappointment by the United States.[118] Israel later voted in favour of a UN General Assembly resolution condemning the invasion.[119] At the request of the United States, Israel also pushed the United Arab Emirates to back the resolution.[120]

An unnamed senior Ukrainian official accused Bennett of having “proposed that we surrender”, claiming that Bennett urged Zelenskyy to “take the offer” of a peace deal from Putin. This report was subsequently denied by both the Israeli Prime Minister’s office and a senior adviser to Zelenskyy.[125]

Following the Bucha massacre, Israeli Finance Minister Avigdor Lieberman condemned “war crimes” but declined to condemn Russia specifically, describing “mutual accusations” where “Russia blames Ukraine and Ukraine blames Russia”, drawing a rebuke from the Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel.[130] However, Foreign Minister Lapid stated that “Russian forces committed war crimes”.[131] Israel subsequently voted for a resolution to suspend Russia from the United Nations Human Rights Council.

in February 2025, Israel joined Russia in voting against a UN General Assembly resolution reaffirming Ukraine’s territorial integrity.[189]

In February 2025, Israel lobbied the United States to allow Russia to maintain military bases in Syria, as a counterweight to Turkish influence there.[190]

In March 2025, Russia invited Israel to attend its 2025 Moscow Victory Day Parade, despite excluding most Western nations.[191]

Again, Israel has no allies as it extends no loyalty to anyone. It only has bitches doing its bidding.

It wasn’t the moral persuasion of Mandela that ended Apartheid though.

It was a sustained isolation and economic boycott combined with mass action, that the state would consider violent, like breaking the barrier and occupy places, which led to massacres like the Bisho massacre that subsequentlty increased pressure for negotiations, because people were absolutely not going to stay put with being massacred.

I feel like the story of the end of Apartheid South Africa is told in a very whitewashed version to undermine the importance of direct mass action, including responding to government violence by fighting back.

Mandela wasn’t some mythical figure that came and solved things by the mgaic of his words. It was the blood, sweat and tears of millions of people in South Africa and beyond that brought an end to Apartheid and it was not in the terms of what the state defines as “peaceful”.

We did learn that orchestrating these gets you paraded around by the “progressive” party in the US during the last election…

Israel has also been supllying drones to Russia. They even demanded Ukraine to surrender to Russia.

This is not to challenge your statement. I find it important to understand that Israel is neither on the side of Ukraine, or on the side of NATO. Israel has no allies, it only has bitches doing its bidding.

Imo. this is actually better in the long run.

People are waking up to the reality of the US deeply rooted problems. People are starting to challenge the oligarchy.

Under Harris we would have had four more years of “centrists” gaslighting progressives for wanting a livable minimum standard of life and Trumpism would have swung back even harder after.

Trump is a syptom of the system that the Republicand and Democrats maintain to exploit the people for the oligarchy.

There will be no political solution until the people take back at least one party from the oligarchy. And even now Democrat party elites are fighting tooth and nails to prevent that, instead siding with Trump over various issues.

Also bring an ID and some cash. E.g. to buy some snacks/meal/water if the day goes longer than you planned for.

“whiteness” is not just defined by skin color in the close sense, but also a state of mind and political affiliation.

What you say about the ethnicites is absolutely correct, however Israel is perceived as an extension of the “white” west vs. the “brown” inferior people.

Flags from Left to Right:

Israel
Iran
Palestine
Yemen
Syria (depending on device it might still show the flag from Assad times, the new flag is green white black with three red stars on white)
Lebanon

The government was elected by the people.

You are German or you are at least able to speak it well. You know what is going on. You know how it is consistent. You know how much the country has shifted back to the right/far-right. You know how supposedly progressive parties are complicit in this.
