You know what would have helped denuclearization? Giving the Budapest Memorandum teeth. Obama and every subsequent president made some mealy-mouthed “We’ll send a few old guns” to Ukraine, despite the deal being Ukraine gives up their nukes and Russia (lol), the US and UK defend them.

Every other country’s leadership looking at that has reached the obvious conclusion: nothing but nukes that you yourself control will save you against a nuclear power.

I know it’s an autocorrect issue, but “Uber the bus” sounds like the next goal of businesses gutting public infrastructure and replacing it with the gig economy. In other words, very on brand.

I’m saying: why does that change matter if you won’t even be there to experience it in full?

Out of empathy and compassion for everyone still here after you’re not.

We don’t want him. We have enough problems with our own fascists.

Which US politician has been attempting to woo voters on the left, in your opinion?

Or, more realistically, hijacking the Democratic party and dragging it kicking and screaming towards the left.

The problem is that worldwide this is not a time for centrism. Promising “nothing will fundamentally change” is a great way to immediately lose an election.

It’s never too late to reinvent yourself. I’m in my 30s and I recently got involved in an entirely new field.

That isn’t how I read this at all. My immediate understanding was “Israel is doing settler-colonialism, people rightfully are against it. China is doing settler-colonialism, nobody seems to care”.

Ah, memories. Chilling’ in the IT lab at school, playing minesweeper during class when I hear my IT teacher behind me say “No, not that one, 2 to the left”

Now you’re thinking with angles!

Maybe you’re right, I’m not saying it’s impossible, but I see Trump more as the symptom of the rot than the cause itself.

I honestly believe that things would be worse if he had gotten shot. Trump is a despicably vile human being from every single angle, but he’s also senile, incredibly incompetent and narcissistic to the point it interferes with his goals.

A Vance presidency would be much worse, imho. The same goals, but not nearly as plagued with mental issues.

“Because no injustice has been justified by any injustice. Never, under any circumstances, though it was still so horrific and take it from me: Auschwitz was horrific. But Jews like Leon de Winter thus justify the violence against Palestinians or Lebanese and they find Jews who think otherwise traitors. Even my foster brother once literally wrote it to me: Hajo, you’re a traitor. Of course that affects me, but the primitive train of thought that is behind it: that you have to repay evil with evil, I find worse. I’d rather be a traitor than a perpetrator of crimes.”

Ben Gurion washed his hands of the Diaspora… As early as a Mapai party conference in December 1942, he said that the tragedy of the European Jews did not ‘directly concern’ them. Those were the words of a leader who was willing to sacrifice the lives of millions of Jews to the idea of a Jewish state.

My sense of betrayal grew. A question surfaced: was this what they died for? My relatives, all those Jews, all those thousands of names on the memorials? Was this horror of a racist, repressive state the result of their deaths?

There’s plenty of Jews out there who saw what Israel would have to do in order to reach their goal of being a Jewish state from the beginning and wanted nothing to do with it. Plenty of Holocaust survivors at the time were very explicitly against the taking of land from a pre-existing population, and understood that to make it a Jewish state you’d need to remove the people there… somehow.

Some Rabbis have even made the argument that even attempting to form Israel in the first place is heretical.

Anti-zionist Jews have been a thing for as long as Zionism has existed.
