קניידלך זה מעולה אבל החלק הכי טעים במרק בפסח זה פשוט לשבור

"The notion of Palestine being Arab emerges, really, only in the 60s. because... what did Israelis do? the colonial era is over; the Ottoman Empire is gone, finally the British are gone, and the Jewish people finally, having outlived all these empires, going back to the Roman Empire, finally restore their sovereignty. What do they do? they do what every self-respecting people in history did when the colonial people were gone- they call the country by their name, right? so Siam becomes Thailand, and the Gold Coast becomes Ghana, and Palestine becomes Israel because Palestine was the colonial name and Israel is the original, indigenous name.

Once the Jews call the land Israel... in order to present the Jews as foreign, [...] thieves, interlopers, Arabs began to hijack the name Palestine, to say, actually we are Palestine, whereas previously everyone understood it was Jews. and I love it, because sometimes you see on the internet, oh look Palestine existed, and they show, like, the Palestine football team and if you look closely all the names are like [...] all Jewish [...] because this was the Jewish football team of the Jewish state in the making, and the Palestine Philharmonic Orchestra was the orchestra of Jewish exiles that became the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. So, this is a classis [...] hijacking of the Arabs of something that was very Jewish, in order to present the Jews as thieves, rather than the original owners."

מישהו זוכר את הפוסט על ארבעת האלמנטים? ואחד מהם היה חזירי בר? רבלגתי אותו בזמנו אבל אני לא מוצאת אותו. אני אמרתי שיש חזירי בר בירושלים ולא האמינו לי. אז עכשיו ראיתי חזיר בר בירושלים ואפילו יש לי הוכחה מצולמת:

לכל החיפאים שאומרים שרק להם יש חזירי בר ולא מאמינים: בבקשה

כשהייתי בחטיבה נסעתי לקאמפ אמריקאי ונדהמתי לגלות שלא הייתה חובה להיות עם כובע או קרם הגנה, כל יום בצהריים הלכנו לבריכה בשמש, וחצי מהבנות שהיו איתי בחדר נשרפו כל כך שהן לא יכלו לישון וכל העור שלהן התקלף. וזה היה במקום שלא היה בו המון שמש (ירד גשם!!! באוגוסט!!!) פשוט היינו בחוץ כל היום. אז אני חושבת שבסך הכול התוכנית הזאת והחינוך להגנה בשמש בארץ טוב

This a much bigger problem because it happens to current events. You can't fandomize countries and conflicts and ignore the reality, but that is what happen with past and present events.

It is especially bad with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israel is not committing genocide, but it is in a war, so the idf kills people, so people call it something completely wrong so it will sound more interesting and fit their values. The Palestinian might have horrible lives, but it does not mean Hamas are 'freedom fighters' instead of the child murdering, woman raping, civilian sacrificing terror organization that it is, but it fits the narrative.

Most people are not aware of what they are saying, because they think events and places are fictional. What do you mean chanting from the 'river to the sea' is calling for the genocide of all of Israel? No, it's just a quirky Fandom line. It doesn't actually hurt millions of people.

Except it does

not for nothing I feel like trying to staunch the tide of media fictionalizing actual historical events and people is just pointless. we’ve been doing this forever. I’d even hazard that a lot of history has been conveyed this way until very recently — stories based loosely on fact but told for entertainment value. im not saying it’s done right or with proper mindfulness most of the time but the practice itself is kind of inevitable

In Israel, both men and women need to do military service, but the men's service is longer. If you change your gender legally, you serve more/less, have to dress like your gender (there are different hair and clothes requirements for men and women)

Finland has mandatory military service for all able-bodied men. The summons come to every man on the year they turn 18, and your service status is visible on your government records - whether you've done your service, are yet to be summoned, or deemed excempt from service and for what reasons. Even if you're blind, deaf, in a wheelchair and cognitively impaired, you still need to show up for the evaluation, though ideally you'll already have a doctor's note for the occasion that basically just says "I mean just fucking look at this guy", and the military doctor will look at you and go "yeah" and sign you off as unfit for service for the time being.

And if you get your legal gender changed, your military status updates accordingly. When I got my gender marker changed to male in my late 20s, I automatically showed up in the government systems as an adult male who has not done military service yet, and I got summons the same year. However, back then being transgender was a diagnosis that you need a doctor's evaluation on, and being trans was one of those medical conditions that give you the option to opt out of service - in the "you can go if you think you can handle it" way, but you have no obligation to volunteer. So I didn't.

I met a friend recently who mentioned that he's going to wait a few years yet before getting his gender legally changed, so he can age out of the conscription system and avoid summons altogether. I said that I was released from service due to trans diagnosis, and asked if he can't do so as well. He said no - the law has been changed since I transitioned, and now that you no longer require a medical diagnosis to be trans, it is also not a diagnosis that'd make you excempt from the military.

So the finnish government basically just said "if you're a grown man with nothing wrong with you, then you're a grown man with nothing wrong with you. Now grab this fucking gun and do your duty for fatherland."

Oh this makes me so fucking mad

So SO fucking mad

You mean israelites, hebrews ffs you mean CANAANITES

THERE WEREN'T PALESTINIANS 3,000 YEARS AGO

THERE WERE JEWISH KINGDOMS

If the tatreez originated 3,000 fucking years ago it makes it jewish, israelite. NOT palestinian

This horrendous cultural and historical erasure of a whole ass ethnic group is absolutely sickening

This accepted activity of rewriting and changing jewish history is so fucking disgusting

This is the kinda shit that makes it so hard for me to feel sympathy and accept the modern palestinian identity

ITS NORMAL FOR NEW IDENTITIES TO EMERGE AND BE BORN, BUT ITS NOT OK TO CHANGE HISTORY SO IT'LL LOOK LIKE YOU HAVE AN ANCIENT AND NATIVE IDENTITY!

I Just fucking hope for the sun to blow us all up soon ffs

Yes, you have to except what's happening now, but not what will happen in the future. You can ask the wind to blow your way tomorrow, and sometimes it will agree. You can make plans, prepare stuff for your task and hope it will let you do things. You can also prepare to the future. Tomorrow you will go north, so do some things in the north. Maybe you can't work, but you can go for a walk. You don't have to suffer because you can't do the thing you wanted to do. Tomorrow the wind will blow in your direction, but today you can enjoy the view.

Having ADHD is a lot like being only able to travel with a hot air balloon. When the wind is right and the weather conditions are ideal, you can effortlessly go wherever you could possibly want, with almost no energy seemingly spent. And when the weather just Will Not Do That, there's nothing you can really do about it. Advice from people telling you to just fucking Grow Up And Learn To Steer don't believe you when you say you've got no steering wheel. Your explanations of navigating different wind directions at different altitudes make no sense to them.

So you just gotta accept that some days the wind goes your way, some days it won't. You can either exhaust yourself fighting the wind, accept that you're going nowhere at all today, or that the direction you are currently going is not the way you planned to go. Why am I in Uruguay.

I bet octopuses think bones are horrific. I bet all their cosmic horror stories involve rigid-limbs and hinged joints.

פגשתי אותם כשהייתי בכיתה ו'. כן יש עובדים של חברת החשמל שהעבודה שלהם היא לדבר עם ילדים כשהם בתחפושת ענק של שקע ותקע. קצת מפחיד כי יוצא שהתחפושות הן בגובה של כזה שני מטר.

Sometimes I just cant get over the fact that the mascots for the Israel Electric Company are a gay muppet couple with a baby

I'm fully against making judgments of shows without having the final product. Like, this might be target towards Daredevil Born Again people, but we don't have enough to consciously say the show is bad or amazing.

I don't lean either way before having the full product because it doesn't feel conductive and my opinion might change lmao.

From what I've seen so far, I has some issues but is not nearly enough to be called a bad show and again, it feels way too early to be saying that.

This show was reworked a lot, we are getting through the midpoint and season 2 will reach the final arcs, I don't expect the show to solve everything now or to deal with everything now, how could I?

That's just my personal opinion but I needed it to say that.
