@Twentyfirst The 250 pound one feels as treatened as the 100 because he is one of its kind in the neigborhood of more 100 pound men.

This is a misleading picture. The reality is a complex feedback loop between increasing security threats and the tightening of the IDF's control in the West Bank, with intricate causal dynamics.

In 2018? They were violent. They could have initiated genuine declarations of their willingness to come to the negotiation table. Barely did it.

Resistance? Really? Will the results change if we continue repeating the same strategies over and over again? Is this truly the way to alleviate the fears of Israelis and earn their trust? (The same applies to the Israeli side.) Isn't it time to think outside of the box and move away from strategies that clearly aren't working?

If it depends on this government especially in its current composition I agree. Without Ben Gvir and Smotrich parties, and surely with an oppositional government this would be an entirly different story.

MK in the Centrist party "The is a future" Meirav Cohen: "The masks have been removed. Ben Gvir and Smotrich would rather ressetle in Gaza than bring the kidnapped home. The majority of Israeli public thinks otherwise".

Judges' performance "For the hostages" of Hurricane that represented Israel in Eurovision.

I can testify from what I see and hear here that this is true.

"How long I have been waiting for this moment" Hostage Deal.

I bump this message of mine just to say this isn't intended to be a 'confrontational' message and I hope it doesn't seem that way. I am just willing to show my position this is why the wording is maybe a little bit sharp or moralistic at the beginning.

@Twentyfirst This list is dishonest and demagogic because includes surgical operations and wars, and overlooks causalities, dynamics of events from both sides and environment.

But If this is the mechanism through which a state can be established, then the same standard should be applied equally to any state that arises based on a group with some common ground (which is essentially every state ever?) Otherwise, it becomes a double standard. So if we continue that, in what, essentialy Israel is different than all the rest? Moreover, why the fact that the more activist group with more extreme ideology have to control the ship's helm in order to make an establishment of a new state possible, contradicts the notion that, mentally, developmentally, the Zionist movement is highly diverse and nuanced? Why not both can be true at the same time?

@Raze The vast majority here push to hostages deal. Ben gvir, smotrich and the like don't represent the mainstream here.

It could be on half of the country but then the war of 48 began. I think most countries sit on foundations of compromises and conflicts if you go back in time far enough to around their establishment.

You are right. "Zionists zionists...."

Blocked here 😓

This isn't about Israelis per se, but the level of development of the government. There is no reason a government built from todays opposition in Israel (~50%) will be more corrupt than a similar Centrist and leftward government in Europe.

When you demonize you get a dopamine release that masks your inner 'demon' - the unhealead neuro-psych battle you are facing. By that you show that your system isn't fully in synch with itself yet.

+1 ❤ Exactly. Certains videos have points to consider and to self reflect on, but the entire envelope of hidden assumptions encompasses the legit points in those videos often seems toxic and cringy to me, and I feel how much it is far from showing the reality of most sectors thinking in Israel.

This is true about this messianic government.

There is a big difference in the background of a big part within the bigger group, huge difference between the conditions and the level of danger the groups are facing so this comparison is between way oversimplified to bizzare.
