  1. Naive analysis. Putin doesn't recognize Ukraine's existence.
  2. You People This star studded movie about white black and/orJewish black racial tensions is controversial and in my opinion both very funny and painfully bad. But you have to watch it at least for for the Eddie Murphy kufi hat scene.
  3. I don't think such facts are available. Why would the government release them? I want it to be easier and more reliable for us to do these reports and to get verification of success or failure. Apparently that's too much to ask for. Consider expats in countries like Colombia that don't even have a postal service! There really should be an online method to do this.
  4. I'm sure it adds up. Not saying it's a policy to over cut off but I doubt the government is losing sleep over it.
  5. I disagree. There will be a small percentage that don't complain or take a very long time to complain. Lots of people don't even need that money. The government has use of all that money in the meantime.
  6. Heck they could do it by Zoom even charge for the service but I guess they make more cutting off people
  7. Vice signalling. Namely Islamophobia
  8. The vast majority of American Jews are against her being kicked off. It was a cynical stunt for sure. Nothing to do with antisemitism.
  9. It's a living.
  10. Good to hear that some Israelis are protesting but the far right wing is in power there so presumably they're going to do what they want regardless.
  11. I'm not seeing much pressure. I'll put this another way. Israelis are for the most part OK with the status quo. The Arab situation isn't even much of a campaign issue. So in my view the ball is with the Arabs on this Rock throwing and shooting up synagogues isn't gonna to help. How about elevating better leaders?
  12. Some contradiction indeed. Yes the Arabs in the area have serious and legit grievances. Arab Israelis much less so. Nobody would doubt that. But what is the realistic way forward from today? Neither the Arab or Israeli leadership is up to actually solving this.
  13. Hard core Zionist. As if Zionism is a bad thing. No translation needed.
  14. More like that's what rational people think.
  15. As I've said the most logical eventual path forward is a binational state with the then minority Jews rights fully protected by its constitutional structure and perhaps UN or US security presence. No two state solution. Thats over. No way for the Arabs to destroy the Jewish character including the right of return. Details? I haven't a clue. Great leadership will be required on both sides. Nothing like that now. The carrots for the Arabs would be improved quality of life, prosperity, health care, education, LGBT rights, and peace dividends. Being partnered with Israel among the most advanced nations could be an incredible step forward for the Arabs in that region.
  16. Don't even bother trying to conflate those situations That is disingenuous and perverted. You and others claim no side Bull!. Its the side of anti Zionism, Israel demonization, and no regard for the right of Israel to exist It is truly nauseating.
  17. Historical fact about the persecution for thousands of years in the diaspora. That is as real as it gets even if you don’t get it. That's what gave rise to political Zionism long before the holocaust. It's OK if you're anti Zionist. But the Zionists won. So now what?
  18. Some do. Some do. Also to note the fascist regime in Russia is trying to ban Russian companies from using draft dodgers remote services.
  19. Yeah but lots have no advanced skills. Not to mention tech companies are shedding workers now.
  20. Never mind the history of the Jewish people during thousands of years in the diaspora.
  21. The Arabs rejected the partition. The Grand Mufti actively tried to get Hitler to extend the holocaust to the middle east. Refugee camps? Whu didn't the Arab world integrate them? Compare to how the Jews expelled by the Jewish Nakba got over being refugees very fast and normally . Your use of the word concentration camps of Arabs sounds intentionally inflammatory in the historical context As I suspected you have no realistic alternative Just the same old demonize Israel garbage. So what now?
  22. So it should have remained a British colony?
  23. Arabs in the region never have and never would have agreed to the establishment of a Zionist state in Israel. To suggest otherwise is totally ridiculous and obnoxiius misinformation. The early Zionist movement settlers thought they could build their new homeland gradually and succeed over time. They bought a lot of land from the Arabs who sold it willingly for the reasons anyone sells anything. During WW2 before Israel was a state the Grand Muslim Mufti of Jerusalem moved to Berlin and got a promise from Hitler to exterminate all the Jews in the middle east which Hitler could not fulfill because he lost the war.
  24. It's not necessary to believe in the old testament to support Zionism. The origins of Zionism are political not religious. It was a very rational and very necessary response to the fact that the Jewish people had been persecuted for thousands of years in the diaspora so the solution was seeking the power of a nation state in a Jewish homeland. Yes it didn't need to be where it is to meet that goal.. It could have been in Uganda, Arizona, or some other place. But it is in Israel and being in the ancient homeland of the Jewish people brings with it pros and cons.
