Former Second to Head of IDF in 2014-2017 - Yair Golan, in his critisism on the messianic government of Netanyahu, Ben Gvir and Smotrich (translated from hebrew, as always).

@Twentyfirst Oh my gosh. What?? You aren't real man 🤣🪀🔮🪄

So where would you suggest Jews to establish their country?

Not triggered, just that it is important to connect this topic with simple words that we can understand each other. Zionism is a subjective word each camp define differently even inside Israel, so it requires breaking it down.

Please define Zionism if you can

How do you define Zionists? Israelis? Right wing Israelis? Far Right?

Their hobby is to cherry pick the radical top 5%. But it is true that 10% of the Israelis think we should settle Gaza, and 30% think we should continue the war in Gaza.

@Lila9 OMG Israel took 2nd place in Eurovision, And 1st place in the public vote!! Crazy Austria were very very good too and deserved it.

@Lila9 Her final performance FLAWLESS 👑

Absolutely queen. Her performance was so refreshing in comparison to 95% of the songs there and the shallowness trend the Eurovision suffer from in the last decade (except Austria that was closer or similar and also quite good). She is really many levels above the vast majority there vocally and emotionally (In Eurovision AutoTune is not allowed so the vocals are raw).

@zazen The Far-Right and Likud.

Head of Opposition in Israel

I haven't lived in a kibbutz but about 5–10% of Israelis have at some point in their lives. A kibbutz is kind of communal, socialist style village where all income used to go into a shared fund, though today most kibbutzes have moved toward a more privatized model. I am originally from a sub-urban town similar to where 15% of Israelis live, which also has some sort of a communal atmosphere.

" Thousands are now on their way to Jerusalem for the Peace Conference. In just a few hours, we will present new data from the Accord Center about the public's complex perceptions regarding peace. In the meantime, I’m sharing findings here—fresh, but consistently recurring throughout the past year: After the October 7th massacre, and in the midst of a horrific and deadly war, half of the Israeli public supports a regional-political-security agreement that includes normalization with Arab states and agreement to establish a Palestinian state. Studies from other organizations show similar findings. A significant majority of the public—over 70%—also understands the need to advance political agreements in order to ensure Israel’s security. So when someone tells you that “no one in Israel supports a political agreement after October 7” or “no one supports establishing a Palestinian state,” they are lying—knowingly or negligently—serving the government and the far-right that leads it. The truth is the opposite: half of Israelis support such moves, including a large majority—76% of opposition voters (see slide 19 in the full presentation—for public opinion research enthusiasts; link in comments). And regarding the opposition and the liberal-democratic camp—this strong majority exists even before the opposition’s leadership fully champions this agenda (with the exception of Yair Golan and some Arab MKs). So the thousands gathering this morning in Jerusalem are not a marginal minority—far from it. They are the vanguard of half the Israeli public who understand that only a political solution can end this nightmare of war. And this vanguard—this human force—if it continues to fight and never gives up, has the power to save both Israelis and Palestinians from the bloody spiral that the Kahanist-led government and Hamas—in horrifying collaboration—so desperately want to maintain "

Equality doesn't contradict nature, but its an expansion of basic emotions which also found in nature, made possible through human cognitive abilities.

But he let his ideals to destroy themselves and now he is no longer here to fight for them. Wouldn't it be smarter to compromise on his truth short term, in order to then get couple of more decades to teach Truth other people who need it?

@Emerald Can reframing work long term? I think that structural thinking patterns will overshadow any reframing you will throw on them, and will reshape it back. The Great Again idea is succeding because a legitimate concern of loosing the American identity that shaped the culture for many decades, and less because right wing propaganda. Try to do a reframing to a thinking pattern you personally have about yourself. Will it change it dramatically? Also, the right wing try to manipulate the other side and not to truly listen to it, I feel this isn't a healthy strategy long term.

They will only listen to someone who belongs to their political camp.

" I woke up this morning with a heavy heart. Two of our soldiers fell in Gaza and I want to ask for forgiveness. Forgiveness to the mothers who joined the circle of bereavement tonight. Forgiveness for losing their children, for worlds that were shattered. My heart is filled with pain and guilt because no soldier should have to get hurt, let alone die, to return our kidnapped children. Because we can return them ..."

" Netanyahu has begun a campaign to whitewash the killing of the hostages, and to whitewash his plan for not bringing them all back. Anyone who places the goal of “victory over our enemies” above and before the return of all the hostages is a criminal, disturbed, dark, and sick "
