Kinda curious of your perspective of the culture there.

I feel like as a lefty person on lefty internet I get feed a pretty steady stream of clips of Israelis being fucking psychos, but I guess I wonder how mask off people are when you’re just like getting coffee or walking the dog.

      Canaanite kingdom from about 3 thousand years ago that mixed with the Peleset sea people to create modern Palestine.

    Nah, you’re unlikely to see anyone on the lefty internet from Israel. North American/Euro cringe centrist/90s conservatives/twitter neoliberals are the fringe far left types that will get gasps and stares there. That’s how far to the right the Overton window is in Israel. Even their communists would be banned for having just unfathomably reactionary takes on everything aside from economics.

    Refusing to join the IDF or believing that Palestinians are human beings and not literally buying into racist “s#bhuman animal” shit is enough to land you in prison for between 3 months and 10 years depending on how the court is feeling that day and whether or not you’ve ever expressed those opinions in public or online.

    nah, but I know some people born there and they’re really copping shit for it now, fucking wild. I’d also suggested to an old friend they could consider renouncing their citizenship and it didn’t go down so well. they really had a lot of shittakes now that I look back.

    from the whispers i’ve heard a cohort of israeli’s living locally were planning to go to the consulate and cancel their citizenship recently, but are really stressin’ over the backlash from the extremely conservative Jewish community that lives here.

    anyway shits all fucked, I am seeing a lot of legitimate conflation of zionists with the diaspora, just straight up antisemitic shit creeping in, lots of public callouts online, smear campaigns and people getting back and people they hold grudges with.

    Solidarity with our Jewish comrades. Free Palestine.
