That was an old post I do agree things have somewhat changed now and Ukraine is in a much better spot Could you please tell me one thing I think I already asked but I still do not understand Why British have such an insane hatred of Russia and Russophobia, more than any other European country (except maybe some ex USSR ones) Russia is far away from you guys, they have not attacked UK since never I think and overall their sphere of influence (ex USSR countries are far from UK) Meanwhile UK has no qualms being friends with UAE, Saudi, Israel who have often illegally jailed or murdered British citizens Not long ago dozens got illegally detained, tortured, raped by Ben Gvir fascist forces and nobody cared Yet Russians murdering a few Russians in British soil and you guys went crazy Is there an anti Russian Lobby in UK? Some historical grievence? I do not understand

@Nivsch Dan Adin Dan Adin seems to know what is up Some sanity at last... Wish he was the norm there...

He is one of my favourite writters I read all 4 of his books and really really enjoyed 3 of them He is very objective and the way he writtes and thinks really resonates with me Only Homo Deus I did not enjoy as much because it felt too orange for me and saw the long term future from a very orange lense. It is for sure not a bad book and worth reading if you like his other work but not a must read as the other three The other 3 i would really recommend, starting from Sapiens

What I find very distrubring in the Israeli public discourse, is that the main concern often seems to be about their reputation rather than genioune care about upholding basic principles of human rights There is a big difference between being angry at something because it makes you look bad in front of others and being angry at something because you mind it morally unacceptable and shameful

When we discuss what % of the Israelis support him, you look into the % that voted for him or similar parties It is more than 5% Also, from what I have read his popularity has grown and today it is 20% or so that support him

Is there any decent major politican in Israel that could become PM or at least have influence? Bennet I have seen him, he is as bad as Bibi if not worse Massive warmonger and also quite racist Ben Gvir and Smotrich we all know what they like Bibi too Maybe Yair Lapid? He seems the least radical and most moderate one I do not like him much either but he seems the most moderate What do you think? I would love some Israeli POV here as I am not very familiar with the country

@Nivsch Who is Zehava, Idan and Yael? They seem to make good comments I am impressed Also thanks for sharing them, it is helpful to check both sides and since many of us do not know much about Israel outside key politicans who are lunatics, it helps paint a more complete picture instead of 1 sided

How come they have such high suicide and especially depression rates? I never understood that I remember a friend from Iran who went to study in Western Europe told me "Even though we have 10000x more problems in Iran than Western Europe, people in Iran seem happier"

Man where are you from exactly in Eastern Europe? Eastern Europe is growing very fast, especially the EU countries Poland at this point is almost on par with the West and will probably reach it in a few years Czechia and Baltics are also incredibly developed first world countries They may not be assss good as Netherlands but on a global scale it is still some of the best

@Nivsch What do you think about this new law they passed? Curious

Russia and Ukraine have been in conflicts for 300 or more years Millions of Ukranians died under Soviet made famines in the 1930s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor There were wars for Ukranian independece before 1930s and even during WW2 certain Ukranian factions fought against the Russians https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_War_of_Independence The Ukraine-Russia conflict and tensions go before Israel and Palestine With much bigger death tolls as well So to blame it on a long history of conflict and tension is not accurate

Well he openly challenged the pro Ukraine narrative in America and even interviewed Putin I slightly disagree with that stance personally but it is a high risk move to do It is much safer to just say Ukraine good and Russia bad as 99% of Western medias do Most Americans see Ukraine=Good and Russia=Bad therefore saying otherwise is not saying something popular. So in this case he does not seem to me to "shift to whatever is popular"Even critique of Zionism has huge risks and costs in USA considering the influence of Israel therefore even if he is a demagogue he for sure takes some risks Desitny would be someone who basically says whatever is considered popular and normal and acceptable Tucker challenges the American empire Ok I had no idea on that, which is why I said on my opening that "if it invovles internal American policies I take it back" I dont agree with him on many topics like his "white christians being opppressed narrative" Just we need someone to critique Israel in the USA from the conversative right He is very useful in that sense If the only people who are critical are libtards or nazis like Fuentes then...

Yes you may have some specific cases but it is not systemic in the thousands That is my point If there were sporadic cases of Israelis torturing Palestinians that is one thing It is another when the cases are in the thousands and it is systemic as the report I sent There are thousands of Russians POWs who were exchanged with Ukranian POWs in prisoner exchanges You can see the Russians being in relative good condition, far better than the Ukranian POWs Also far better than the Palestinian prisoners who got exchanged for the Israeli hostages So yeah, generally Ukraine treats Russians in captivity much better than Israel treats Palestinians in captivity (some of which are even childreen) Why so?

Yes it should be conducted within international laws Ukraine does not widespread torture Russian POWs even though those Russian POWs literally went to Ukraine to conquer, kill Ukranians and many are guilty of war crimes They are treated within all the international law of norms and are not abused We are asking you to behave like Ukraine does Why dont you? If Ukraine can, why cant you?

No we expect you to respect human rights and international law Do not torture people Period https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2026/03/20/un-expert-says-israel-is-systematically-torturing-palestinians_6751657_4.html I dont care what those people did or what they think about you You do not torture If you torture you are a devil Put them in shitty prison or bad food but no torture. How hard is it to understand this honestly? It feels like talking to a 5 year old
