    A country known for making war crimes and genocides doesn’t support human rights? Consider me as surprised.

    I mean I get that’s bad, and it’s definitely a sign of civilization regressing, and with each step backwards, we continue to inch towards the day where we finally topple any evidence of progress that has been built, and we’re lucky if we can even hold it together enough to emerge from the ashes of modern society as feral bands of mud people with some chance of perhaps one day making it back to this same point in another 2000 years or so.

    But, is the “loss of women’s rights” perhaps offset by the privilege of knowing that even if you lose your rights, you can still be shitty to people of a different ethnicity without concern of public judgment or accountability for your shitty behavior? And if so, isn’t that what freedom is all about?

    Women’s rights are on a sharp decline in Israel.

    Yeah, that’ll happen in a patriarchal theocracy.

    John Kerry warned that Israel can be Jewish, large, democratic, pick two. They picked Jewish and large. Now leopards are coming for faces.

    But I thought that we (U.S. people) were supposed to support them because they are a champion of democracy and human rights.

    I’m calling bullshit.

    I don’t doubt that Israel is backsliding on women’s rights, but this “Women, Peace and Security Index” has got to be bullshit.

    They have a bunch of parameters that try to capture the situation of women, and I’m sure that can be useful to gauge which way the wind is blowing for a single country, but it gets kinda ridiculous when Saudi Arabia gets a much better score than Turkey, China, India, Brazil, Iran, and Mexico.

    Just a reminder that women were not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia until 2018.

        If the experts claimed an helicopter crash is perfectly normal and a better outcome than a normal landing, I don’t need to know to pilot to be able to tell they’re full of bullshit.

      I’m sure they’re efficient enough that they can start shooting new groups before they’re completely finished the previous groups.

      When they’re done raping all the women and young girls of Palestine, they’ll turn their rape spree onto Israeli women and young girls.

      I wonder how all these pick me bitches openly supporting the IDF will twist the narrative for it.

      I don’t know that I’d include judaism on a list of “three major religions.” Hinduism and buddhism have much better claims on being in the top three.

      You’re not calling Judaism a major religion are you?

      Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, have billions of followers each. Judaism has a few million.

        It has influence disproportionate to the number of followers. (But Hinduism and Buddhism should be ahead of it anyway, this is a very Western perspective)

            Most Jews in Israel are Atheists. That’s not even close to correct.

            Most surveys suggest that roughly 15-25% of Jewish Israelis do not believe in God or describe themselves as atheists or convinced non‑believers, depending on wording and methodology.

              Zionism is the abandonment of the Torah by saying the Messiah will lead the Jews to the promises land and instead doing it themselves.

              “God” for Israelis means “Jewish people”. They are their own God.

          Leadershit are the ones making the difference right now. People’s sentiment mean nothing unless they hold their leaders responsible. People are dying right now and still no action is being taken.

          But the leaders are elected by the people and foreign conflict with always comes after domestic affairs like the economy

            Large parts of the world don’t have fair elections, or elections at all.

            Also, yes people vote on domestic affairs first. Doesn’t mean they support the foreign policy, just that it is a lower priority. We typically don’t have “if all else was equal” in voting decisions.

            Or we have situations like in the U.S. where both sides are in on the bootlicking. One side may go further than the other, but both choices are bad in this regard.

              If the population keep voting for those type of leaders there is zero reasons for them to care about Palestine and listen to people. The only way is voting them out of the system and we sre in a very critical time where Gaza may cease to exists in few years. Time is running out
