@Lila9 The word Zionism is such a mind trick that I can't appreciate any critisizm of Israel unless it uses its OWN words. Whenever a critisizm hides behind this word it obviously has something not fully arrenged in its episemology. As Albert Einstein has said "If you can't explain something simply (and need to hide behind popular words) you don't understand the Issue (or not honest) enough".

The lie is that "all the land belongs to Jews" and if this is what he realized then great.

@Lila9 Actually many Israelis mainly in the Right Wing half fall to the same trap regarding the Palestinians. No wonder then that this is so common among both camps.

This is a thread for anyone who wants to seriously deepen their unserstanding on Israel. My goal is to offer an high-resolution view of Israeli society in the most authentic day-to-day way possible. The added value: A direct insight into Israel's mindset. This is something you won't find in any video or article from foreign media. Only here you will be able to see it. I aim to present an unfiltered view of regular Israeli citizens, journalists (but not politicians), leaders of public opinions and even celebrities from here. Please keep far-right-wing quotes out of this thread, and this is because other threads and many youtube videos are already saturated with them. Excluding them here will help create a more realistic and balanced picture at the end of the day. Let’s agree on one thing: Israeli society is neither more nor less special than any other. However given the one-sided portrayal of my country over the past year, it only makes sense to emphasize the aspects that are often overlooked. Therefore, this thread will lean towards a more positive tone, with the aim of presenting a more realistic picture overall.

I get you here. Legumes and grains at least for me affect my mood negatively. I try then to stick to a 90% vegan diet but without them (except tiny amounts here and there).

To some extent, much of this is what allows him to survive politically and legally, due to his ongoing legal trials. Over the past few years, he has been and continues to be mostly opportunistic.

Official: Just now got elected to be Israel's representative in Eurovision 2025. (Won the competition)

Nova survivor Yuval Raphael's new Gold performance.

Yeah far right fanatics, and Bibi is being blackmailed by them.

Former Head of IDF (2002-2005) and Minister of Defense (2013-2016) Moshe Ya'alon critisizes the pogrom the Messianic government do on Arabs in Judea and Samaria.

He is in the Center. You can read about his political party and ideology in wikipedia. He has always talked about Two State Solution, but after Oct7 it is very difficult for any Israeli to empathize with Palestinians unless he is a stage turquoise saint.

Head of Opposition, Lapid: Our goal isn't to return to war, but to return to life (translated from Hebrew, as always)

I am familiar with that because I buy fresh dates every week. If you remeber the brands I can recomment unless you already know what you like more

👌

Buy them they are great they are from the Arava close to Eilat. From which company? I can say to you which is tastier.

Our messianic government led by Bibi, Smotrich and Ben Gvir purposely refused to offer an alternative.

It won't snap but there will be a value systems clash. Polls show most Israelis want to end the war.

They are more than just religious radicals, they have sadistic and often psychopatic qualities. You can see this also in the way they regulary treat their own people. This is similar to Isis. This is much more than just Palestinians who got radicalized. Nothing Israel ever did can explain this or be barely enough to 'create' this.

@Raze This is way too indirect. Not a honest accusation to my impression. In this way I can connect many countries to many things out of deterministic explanations. The responsibility of the attackers is always at the bottom of the list.

Mistakenly because I marked his message inside your message to him so it did it this way I will be more cautious to this next.

What is the next step? "Israel has created Isis"? (To karmadhi)

The cake is ~40% of the public. 25.5% of the cake want to settle in gaza out of pre-existing ideology. Which means that ~10% of Israelis have a hard core (what I assume the word Zionism means in the foreign unofficial media) more stable ideological aspirations (less depend on oct7) to settle in Gaza. https://www.idi.org.il/articles/57341

Years for sure.

@Lila9 Agree and I am glad to see you back here 🙂
