@Raze Whenever I see a motorcycle I feel they are just crazy and risking their lives. This should be illegal except for Ambulances.

@Majed Closeness isn't created in a vacuum and can also be caused by fear. People tend to become anti to any group they are unfamiliar with. Overall I don't believe that some religions are consistently closed or open but that it depends on the era and the subgroup. If you meet an ultra orthodox group they will be, on average, less open to hear your views.

Our government? Disastrous. But that is not the aim of this thread, which is to show Israel broadly, fairly and unfiltered.

@Husseinisdoingfine Its unfortunate that certain people build their careers as influencers on demonization and sensationalism rather than on true learning of the things they are talking about.

@Lila9 You mean seriously? By the way, I was just near Jaffa port with a friend. This place is very beautiful I wasn't familiar with it much before.

Israel news 🌻☀️ May 1 The tweets are becoming more and more about the upcoming elections, expected in early autumn.

You can’t see people clearly when you reduce them to labels.

Maybe in the year 2200 the solution will come 😃

Israel claims that these actions are driven by security concerns: Hudreds of airstrikes to prevent weapons transfers to Hezbollah and limiting Iranian and Iranian backed presence in Syria, ground operations to create a buffer zone between the new regime in Syria and Israel. Part of the strikes are in response to rocket fire and are aimed to protect the Druze

My pleasure, and thank you Zehava was the leader of the left-wing party Meretz. Idan is a journalist in the Israeli newspaper "Globes". You are welcome to write here more.

@Breakingthewall Not nuances but real differences. Not only about a Palestinian state, but also about democracy, the role of the courts and the high court, the dominance of religion in public life, women rights, minorities rights, Israeli Arabs rights, LGBT rights, civil marriage, veganism and more. Regarding a Palestinian state, you are right the current situation is tricky to manage and problematic, but after Oct 7, even many people who supported it became more cautious because this is not only ideological anymore but also about security and trust. The issue has become somewhat taboo and politicians are a bit more afraid, at least in the meantime, to talk about it in sharp words. I think the Two State Solution is a win win because it is both just and secure long term. Some people think like me, and some think exactly the opposite. There isn’t a clear consensus, and that is part of the polarization.

Lets say the word “pedophile” didn’t exist and instead we described it as: “a person who has sexual urges toward children that they did not choose to have and do not want.” Would it be easier then to separate between the person and the condition, and to feel empathy for the person without justifying harmful actions and while keeping children safe and protected? A person like this can be also quite young and confused. They can look good or bad, be a man or a woman, and appear ordinary on the outside. Maybe part of the problem is the emotional baggage this long-established word has accumulated, which makes it harder to see things clearly enough to not demonize the person.

@Breakingthewall Its indeed difficult to make tangible moves on this issue right now. I am under the impression that October 7 has frozen it for a while. Regarding polarization you can actually get a sense of it from this thread 🙂 It is hard to fully define it in words, but at its core there are different groups here that view almost every major issue in very different ways, in terms of values, identity, and how people interpret reality.

Eurofalsh in Tel Aviv every Sunday. Eurovision lip sync performances with a crazy talented band. Quite magical. I barely miss a night since I started going. From last night.

Happy Birthday Leo 🎉 Whishing you lots of happiness, good health, and only good things ahead 🍷

@Raze Bennett is right-wing. The opposition is not. Bennett joined the opposition after being labeled a 'traitor' by the right, because of his decision to form a government with parties from the opposition in 2021, which was the only technical way for him to become prime minister. Today the opposition supports him because he significantly increases their chances to form a coalition (you need at least 61 Knesset members to create a blocking majority) that could bring down Netanyahu. In fact, in 2015 Bennett said on TV that his party at the time (“The Jewish Home” which had 12 Knesset members) is "the only party opposing the establishment of a Palestinian state, while all other parties would lead to the creation of it". You can translate this page to read the article from 2015: https://news.walla.co.il/break/2822573 It is possible he emphasized that message for political campaigning, but the fact he chose to frame it that way suggests that other parties either support or are at least open to a Palestinian state because otherwise that message wouldn’t make much sense politically. Supporting Bennett politically doesn’t mean adopting all his positions.

How will you meet me in person? I am from Israel and you are afraid of Israel (;

@Rafael Thundercat Nobody can choose their brain and genetics. They have to go through a complex therapeutic process to help them manage their lives as normally as possible without acting on their desires, or if possible to redirect their desires in a way that is legal and won't harm others.

Israel's 78th Independence Day is marked by increasing polarization, expressed in both the official ceremony in Jerusalem and the alternative one in Tel Aviv.

@Apparition of Jack Almost no state has been established through a clean process. Israel is just one example among many. In addition I think the description of kicking out is far too simplistic to a conflict that has developed gradually over many years long before the war in 1948.

This may be true to some degree but it can be harmful to a victim's mental health especially if very young. This is why law set age limits for consent, though even then, 16 year old can still be mentally vulnerable.

As long as they don't act on their impulses, empathy is important. You need to separate between the person and their urges.
