As best I can tell, the most racist zionists are usually American-born Israelis.

I do my best to always use the word Zionist before the word Israeli.

Israel’s secularism is irrelevant to the overall racist ideology of Zionism that permeates Israeli society.

I’m not referring to powerless, mouth-breathing, NEETs who normally lurk forums.

But I’m referring to comments from actual members of the Israeli Knesset, public statements from people like the OP, printed editorials in mainstream publications, and modern Israeli celebrities.

When you read through the translations not meant for western audiences - the racism pops out disturbingly. It’s such a part of their culture that they don’t even notice it as such. Zionists really don’t view people in the West Bank or Gaza as humans.

A few months ago I started using Google Translate to read what Israelis are saying amongst each other in their mainstream publications and forums.

My. God. Levels of entitlement and racism that would make a Klansman blush.

Sure, a lot of them want a cease-fire to get the hostages back … and most don’t like Netanyahu … but the average Israeli Zionist is a racist monster.

And they still get most everything they want; whereas when Dems are in charge they have to make up obscure reasons (example: Oh Noe!!! The Parlimentarian won’t let us do it!!!111) why they can’t pass popular legislation.

More like: “My ancestors ate chickpeas … therefore, that falafel is mine!”

Don’t mess with librarians. They look mousey … but they take their jobs really seriously and will fuck your shit up.

Wasn’t there a story the other day claiming that Israel expected the US to pay for these camps?

Has that been debunked yet?

Any increase I’ve experienced in my pay has been completely surpassed by healthcare bills and inflation.

These are the types of cases where it pays to be lenient.

Without going deeply into the history & tactics of dealing with insurgencies: If the goal is social stability and reconciliation - it is best to be lenient the first time, but then be absolutely over-the-top brutal the second.

I see no downside whatsoever.

Gonna call shenanigans on this.

Bombs shatter organs - even when the victim isn’t in the blast-radius. Heck, just the sonic booms from fighter-jets can (and do) trigger miscarriages. Organs that are crushed, riddled with shrapnel, and probably close to the consistency of oatmeal are not worth the risks of retrieval.

Here’s the answer: No.

Medicare is Federally managed, Medicade is state-by-state. To qualify for Medicaid in most states you have to be at or near poverty levels of income - that’s around $11k to $15,000 a year maximum in order to qualify for it.

Heard. And that’s for people with health insurance and the ability to pay deductibles / co-pays for care in the first place. Everyone else is kinda fucked.

Puerto Rico is just the canary in the coal mine. The entire US healthcare system is on the brink of collapse.

There were more than enough Democrats in Congress in 2008 to make that happen.

There are more than enough Democrats now to make it enough of an issue that it becomes part of the public conversation.

There are more than enough Democrats now that could make an internal party rule that prohibits Democrats from ever lobbying for pharmaceutical or insurance companies.

However, the Democratic Party is far more motivated to kneecap actual healthcare reforms than actually implement what they say they believe in.

Democrats are just as committed to this for-profit driven healthcare system as Republicans are. They’re just a little bit more polite about it.

The guy with a reputation for not paying his attorneys is having trouble attracting good legal council?

Shocked. I’m shocked.
