Kinda curious of your perspective of the culture there.
I feel like as a lefty person on lefty internet I get feed a pretty steady stream of clips of Israelis being fucking psychos, but I guess I wonder how mask off people are when you’re just like getting coffee or walking the dog.
Nice try, Mossad.
They don’t even train these feds anymore
People can’t live in imaginary places comrade.
I put scare quotes around it, jeez
i had a dream i was living there once. I had a shitty job and a shitty apartment but I could go to the beach and show off my 17 pack and glistening azure skin
Are you sure this isn’t the plot to Avatar 3
Wait, that wasn’t the plot for Avatar 1?
No that’s the movie where a giant robot is controlled by a tiny man in his ass
no, that was Eric Clapton
I thought that was Richard Gere
i’ve never seen them in the same room together…
No it was written by Eric Clapton with the help of his gay Nigerian friend Elton John
nah, but I know some people born there and they’re really copping shit for it now, fucking wild. I’d also suggested to an old friend they could consider renouncing their citizenship and it didn’t go down so well. they really had a lot of shittakes now that I look back.
from the whispers i’ve heard a cohort of israeli’s living locally were planning to go to the consulate and cancel their citizenship recently, but are really stressin’ over the backlash from the extremely conservative Jewish community that lives here.
anyway shits all fucked, I am seeing a lot of legitimate conflation of zionists with the diaspora, just straight up antisemitic shit creeping in, lots of public callouts online, smear campaigns and people getting back and people they hold grudges with.
Solidarity with our Jewish comrades. Free Palestine.
Nah, you’re unlikely to see anyone on the lefty internet from Israel. North American/Euro cringe centrist/90s conservatives/twitter neoliberals are the fringe far left types that will get gasps and stares there. That’s how far to the right the Overton window is in Israel. Even their communists would be banned for having just unfathomably reactionary takes on everything aside from economics.
Refusing to join the IDF or believing that Palestinians are human beings and not literally buying into racist “s#bhuman animal” shit is enough to land you in prison for between 3 months and 10 years depending on how the court is feeling that day and whether or not you’ve ever expressed those opinions in public or online.
what’s israel?
Canaanite kingdom from about 3 thousand years ago that mixed with the Peleset sea people to create modern Palestine.
No, but I lived in a town with a heavy Israeli diaspora. To be honest, most were pretty friendly people for the most part. I’m non-white and they didn’t take an issue with it. The ones that were born and raised there were usually just as dark as me. A couple of them even invited me to visit them in Israel someday.
Their attitude changed as soon as you brought up arabs. The slurs would come out, dehumanizing of them, and joking about them all being terrorists. Our school newspaper had a muslim girl write an article about Israeli atrocities and they lost their shit. Everyone in the school was talking about how offensive it was and boys would chase her asking if she had bombs in her backpack.
