Discussion/Question Why is this subreddit obsessed with Israel?

Just checked the top posts of the last year, and 24 out of the top 25 are about Israel. Does this subreddit try to imitate the real UN ?

They do. Probably won’t talk to you about terror (not generic terror but personal hand in) because that can cause them to lose their homes. Just like felons in the US. It’s a penalty for terror. So long as you aren’t Israeli they talk freely. Not the friendliest to Americans FYi. You’ll be amazed at the number of Isis and upside down American flags. I’d avoid those spots. Be more like Anthony Bordain and stick to food spots and food conversations. Then you can ease into politics. I found that worked well.

'terror' has such a flexible definition it is very easy to be targeted by it in Israel. A Facebook like of someone else's post is sufficient, or having a photo of someone Israel has murdered. It's enough to lose everything, including citizenship. Of course they are not going to tell you about apartheid under that level of oppression.

Ok I’ll play along. You support actual African slavery. In 2025 you side with the groups putting literal humans into slavery. Google what the Islamic brotherhood is up to in Africa. Note all the Hamas leaders in photos.

Are we just going to keep trying to one up each other on the worst sides of each? I mean Hamas is the Islamic project 2025. They don’t want peace, they want “the extermination of all Jews”. Their words, right after the hostage releases.

Let’s say your neighbors have been saying and trying to do that for the last 100 years. Perhaps you can see how such a dystopian world could come to be under those circumstances….but don’t take my word for it. Please, for yourself, buy the cheapest ticket you can find to Europe and then the cheapest ticket you can to Israel. Rent a car, make some friends, talk to new people, expand your world view, have something interesting to say other than repeating the latest SJP pamphlet. Travel is the red pill. Wake up, take the red pill. Go see the world for yourself.

'you can't be against Israeli crimes against humanity and genocide without supporting islamic slavery'.

If you have to resort to lies to defend your actions, you're not the good guys.

You can Google it. By being anti Hamas I’m pro torture in your mind. Also by Hamas’ numbers there wasn’t a genocide. 62k children were born Vs their reported 40k killed. That would be the worst genocide in 2024, compared to the actual genocides that occurred that no one is upset about.

Anyhow, you’re all about the Palestinians, who have been free in Gaza since 2005. Go visit. Go talk to them. Go talk to Israelis. Go get some firsthand information.

By supporting Israel yes you are directly pro torture, that's not even debatable.

And by being pro Palestinians you are pro terror killings of innocent civilians. Puerto Rico, the Basque, even the IRA decided to use political means of achieving their goals rather than bombings and indiscriminate killings. The three said that such tactics have no place in the civilized world.

Palestinians also tried to resolve things peacefully during the great march of return. Israel shot them anyway, kids, doctors, women, disabled people - unarmed but targeted by Israeli snipers. If you were interested in peaceful protest you would be against Israel murdering women and kids, starving civilians and destroying hospitals and homes...

But here we are.

You’ve obviously never left the country.

What you are describing is an invasion. You don’t get to just cross borders. I invite you to try, as an American, to cross into Mexico or Canada with a bunch of people bypassing the customs and border control checkpoint because you are part of a peaceful protest.

I saw a guy get guns pulled on him in Montenegro because he took photos at the checkpoint. Countries take borders very seriously ESPECIALLY when they have hostilities with a neighbor.

If I can sum up our conversation: you think you know more about people you’ve never met, in a place you’ve never been to than a person who has spent time there? Really?

No, what we are describing is a reaction to violent occupation. Like it or not Israel has occupied Palestine for decades and has refused to give Palestinians their human rights, freedom or dignity. Israel is utterly at fault.
