So the solution is to act the exact same as the Israeli government and ignore the Jewish trauma?

Ignoring the worst trauma a people can go through requires a lot of cognitive acrobatics, one sided stories and trendy wording to compensate for it.

Or that some states don't want another North Korea case, especially when it has threatened them with elimination in its own words for 20 years. Doing nothing is simply too dangerous.

Before 2023 Israel mostly withdrew from territories. What is happening now wasn't pre planned.

Nice to see you back here. How are you doing with everything going on? Do you have safe room in your home or do you go to a shelter?

In this thread you can see what the discussion in Israel looks like during the war. I will add posts representing a variety of views from across the political spectrum. You are welcome to ask any questions you may have. All posts are translated from Hebrew.

Thank you 🙏🏻

I oppose comparisons such that he did here ("Nazis" etc) but still, his post seems quite important to me, if we take into account the details. The post: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1DfXcgBdwa/ " Why did Iran almost become the Third Reich of the 21st century? 👇🏿 Iran is not just another third-world country. " Iran is the most lethal combination modern history has known: the production capacity of an industrial-technological power fused with the ideology of a murderous cult. That is exactly what turned Nazi Germany into the monster that devastated Europe and destroyed half the world: not only fanaticism, but the ability of diligent engineers and scientists to harness technology to the Reich’s endless appetite for death. The numbers don’t lie 👇🏿 #1 Iran ranks among the top ten countries in the world in annual STEM graduates (engineering, science, technology, mathematics), surpassing powers like Japan and South Korea (World Economic Forum). #2 Nearly 35% of students in Iran study technological fields. That’s how they managed to produce centrifuges and ballistic missiles (CSET report). #3 Over 2,700 Iranian researchers are ranked in the top 2% of the most cited scientists worldwide (Stanford/Elsevier database). #4 Iran reached a production capacity of roughly 100 to 300 ballistic missiles per month. That means that had we not attacked them, they would have been producing thousands of missiles per year. Every year. #5 The Iranian regime has now slaughtered 30,000 of its own citizens without batting an eye. #6 For 47 years, this regime has tried to harm, exhaust, eliminate, destroy, and murder Israeli and American civilians. Since 1979, the Iranian regime and its proxies have killed at least 3,000 Israelis in Israel and abroad, and over 1,000 Americans over the years. #7 The regime’s annual budget for building and strengthening proxies across the Middle East stands at $2 billion (before the war). Hezbollah alone receives about $700 million per year. This is a regime that starves its own citizens in order to feed the monsters surrounding us. This is the main cause of instability in the Middle East. And I haven’t even started talking about the nuclear program — that’s already been discussed enough. The era is different, but in my view, there is a strong resemblance between the Iranian regime and the Nazi regime: Both were a deadly combination of an educated, industrious population (one that produces engineers and scientists in large numbers) and a murderous fanatic ideology. In short, the ultimate dream of any bloodthirsty dictator who wants to spread his ideology. If Hitler had risen to power in Brazil, no one would have cared (except perhaps the Argentinians). If the ayatollahs had taken power in Zimbabwe or Papua New Guinea, Israel’s defense budget would remain the same. But when ideologically driven dictators seize power in countries with exceptional human capital, advanced industry, and strong engineering capability — like Germany or Iran — it enables them to devastate half the world. If Sinwar had not attacked, and Iran had continued on the same trajectory, Iran would have been capable of 👇🏿 #1 Developing intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) capable of traveling 10,000 km — a direct threat to the eastern coast of the United States. By 2035 (source: U.S. Congress, 2025). #2 Possessing dozens of nuclear warheads mounted on precision missiles aimed directly at Tel Aviv, Haifa, Riyadh, and Dubai. A nuclear umbrella would have given Iran nearly unlimited military freedom of action, along with the ability to intimidate and harm Israel and the Gulf states. Hundreds of thousands of Israelis would leave the country out of existential fear alone. Don’t believe me? Look at how North Korea holds South Korea in a chokehold. #3 Iran would have become the largest exporter of cheap, smart weapons for the modern axis of evil. Today, the drones destroying infrastructure in Ukraine are Iranian. Tomorrow? Every terrorist organization in Africa or South America. Just as the Russians turned the Kalashnikov into the standard weapon of global terror, the Iranians would have turned the “Shahed” into the aerial standard of modern warfare. And we haven’t even discussed control of the Strait of Hormuz, which would allow Iran to spike global fuel prices by 200% at the push of a button. Hitler, with German industrial capacity, was the nightmare of the 20th century. Khamenei, with Iran’s remarkable human capital, was on track to become the nightmare of the 21st century. By 2035, Iran could have transformed from a state sponsor of terror into a technological-fanatical-brutal terror empire capable of destroying entire countries, striking American cities, paralyzing the global oil pipeline, and crashing stock markets at the push of a button. All under nuclear immunity. Imagine waking up one morning to a barrage of 5,000 ballistic missiles raining down on us from Iran — a massive blitz overwhelming air defense systems and killing tens of thousands of Israelis in the time it took Hamas terrorists to massacre border communities. This is a threat Israel cannot tolerate. This is a threat the free world cannot tolerate under any circumstances. And Trump and Netanyahu, unlike the Europeans and the foolish Democrats in New York — understand this very well. Israel and the United States are eliminating one of the greatest threats to world peace. If you had the opportunity to bomb Nazi Germany in 1936, with reasonable risk to human life — wouldn’t you do it? I would. Be proud to be Israeli. And if you are American — be proud that you chose Trump over the other idiot. Hundreds of millions of Europeans envy you greatly. P.S. If you liked the content, like, comment, and share 🙏 We must understand the magnitude of the threat we are removing. "

Yeah the music of Rayman was really good

In the shelter right now

If I ignore the hours I spent on Picture City and its crazy boss, then maybe yeah 😅

hamas is found there too just weaker due to security cooperation between IDF and the Palestinian authority. This is true there is an abuse of power and corruption that often hurts civilians too.
