Poor boomers and rich millenials exist.

That sounds like a reasonable comparison, until one realizes that we are not talking about WMDs here, we are talking about the occupied Palestinian territories. Then, your comparison not only falls apart, but is also exposed as a bad faith one.

First, if Israel giving up the territories is similar to Ukraine giving up its WMDs, i.e., an existential threat, then Israel should never do that. I.e., peace is impossible and the two state solution is impossible. The only option left is ... ethnic cleansing and genocide. Is that what you are arguing for?? Be clear about what you say. Because I don't think you are arguing for the dismantling of the apartheid regime in all of greater Israel: one state from the river to the sea with equal rights for everyone.

Second, Israel actually has WMDs and would be keeping them after the establishment of a Palestinian state. So, if anything it would be in a stronger position than Ukraine, heaving the guarantee from its neighbours and its own WMDs to fall back to.

Third, you are comparing Israel to Ukraine. This casts Israel as the victim, the one that is subjected to occupation and violation of its integrity. The opposite is true. Israel is the occupier, the oppressor and the violator international law.

So, no, your comment doesn't stand to scrutiny.

What did Harper do to make your bank account happy? Please refer to specific policies.

We are worried about what we would have to do if you guys starts shooting at each other. Like where would we put the refugees.

The majority of European antisémites have zero problem with the existence of Israel "out there". They are more than happy to see the Jews leave Europe for the middle east. American antisémites are fantasizing that Israel will be the site of the Second Coming of Christ who will then turn all the Jews into Christians.

This observation alone should tell you everything about why it is stupid and wrong to use attitudes towards Israel as proxy measures for attitudes towards Jews. When the antisémites pass your metric with flying colours whereas Jewish anti-Zionists fail it, your metric is just shit, simple as that.

What's actually fucked is that this kind of move only brings above board practices that have already been happening in the down low for large sectors of the economy.

The "Greek recovery" is being built on cheap labour, without any kind of productivity gains, technology development, or real diversification of the economy.

Your deity doesn't exist, lady. No god "gave" you anything.

Sure, provided that the EU, pays reparations to the countries that it gouges the last 50 years, and provided that former colonial European countries, pay reparations to their former colonies.

What, no?

You can't colonize Algeria and then complain about Algerians in France. You can't import gastarbeiter and then complain about Turks in Germany. You can't genocide the Kongo, Namibia, etc and then complain about Africans. You can't keep West Africa in a perpetual chokehold with the franc and complain about the Senegalese.

Basically, you simply can not fundamentally alter the rest of the world to serve your interests and then pretend that you don't have to change yourself.

The funny thing is that the European project as a supra national project is actually perfectly placed to overcome these old wounds by promoting peace and prosperity and encouraging regional integration outside Europe. The basic tenets of Europeanism are wildly successful at promoting peace and prosperity internally. The European experiment seems to have worked and Europe could very well foster similar projects around the world. Instead, they play the role of Vikings...

They kill off international law and then act all surprised when autocracies do crimes.

Something something something when they love their children more than they hate us. And now they make sure there is another generation with nothing to hope for and nothing else to lose, and who pass on intergenerational trauma to their children.

By the way, this prison system is run by Ben Gvir.

Fuck Hamas. They are not "resisting", they killed innocent civilians, women and children, and don't give a flying fuck about the Palestinian civilians either (cf Moussa Abu Marzouk's declaration that they are not responsible for defending the civilians in Gaza). They are a creation of the Israeli apartheid regime's own making when they were hoping to destroy the credibility of the PA, to perpetuate their colonialist narrative. Hamas and the Israeli apartheid are two sides of the same brutal, inhuman coin. Fuck Hamas as much as the Likud and the ultranationalist Israeli right to the seventh pit of hell.

You're right. There should be a cease fire so neutral international observers can go investigate.
