How morally superior is North Korea to Japan and South Korea? They throw their own into Gulags all the time but they haven’t nuked Japan or South Korea even though they’re the only ones with nukes of the bunch. Not using nukes can also be a form of self preservation because once used others will use them against you too probably. Not saying Hamas wouldn’t use nukes on Israel. They probably would also becaue their silly beliefs of the afterlife etc.

Is caring the same as importance?

With this attack on Ukraine, Russia put a battery in the back of NATO though. Countries like Germany and Poland are massively upping their defence capabilities. I honestly didn’t like NATO before the war now i‘m still not a fan but i think it’s necessary.

You know on a spiritual level it’s true. I already don’t own anything. There is no me to own anything.

Well Trump is gross and so is MBS and Putin. Of course democracies are probably more prone to being influenced like AfD in Germany, Le Pen in France by bribery aka Russian, Qatari, Chinese money than dictatorships. There is less control and more freedom.

Is that a thing that’s only in the West. Isn’t bribery much worse in other places? You‘re obsessed with the west it’s cute.

pinky promise? Who cares about a promise

So then why shouldn’t Europeans kick them out?

Ok thank but so then you don’t really know this to be true? Just because a guy in a youtube video or a book said doesn’t make it true.

So then you agree with Jews taking this small place of land right? I mean Arabs have many countries and Muslims have even more countries. And at least the Jews are building a country with some freedoms riiiight?

And even then it’s probably just gated communities and not nice walkable cities. What they’re building in Egypt now the new capital with large phallic symbols while the population is so poor is wild. So corrupt. I love the red sea though.

Well it might be normal but for me it’s a horrible experience . In Europe there’s usually PT to the city. All easy and nice.

Yea i‘ve been to Egypt three times. Things i really don’t like about Egypt is walkabilty. PT. The culture of trying to scam and rip you off. Already at the airport there are hundreds of cabdrivers trying to scam you. Uber drivers argue all the time. I don’t feel very safe in Hurghada. Maybe Aswan and Cairo are a bit better.

I‘ve been to Thailand a few times. Already as a child. It’s nice. Desert world first world countries seem quite weird though like Dubai it‘s all about money and showing off. Building the highest tower etc. Lebanon would interest me (it’s also half Christian) Egypt has nice red sea and historical sight but is otherwise quite a mess imo. What i like about Europe is Architecture, culture, history, food, walkabilty, public transport, freedom of speech, freedom for women and lgbt and so on. No place is perfect Europe definitely has problems too. This is where i‘m sitting right now ☕️

Why Thailand? I feel like even if the European Union collapses and European countries revert back to their borders and currencies and China gains more influence etc. European countries are still probably better to live than desert land no?

Romania has worse problems than western Europe. Glad that Russiab stooge lost.

Where can i visit you

Zazen loves the Russian and Chinese propaganda. His hobbies are walks on the beach and moan and biech about the West. Almost a Che Guevara (but only on the keyboard) He is a special cookie and we love him very much. Same with twentysomething.

Read the reddit discussions and you can see what people think.

https://www.reddit.com/r/eurovision/comments/1ktdn9l/open_letter_to_esc_community_from_martin_green_cbe/ Saying „not as hated“ i agree. But getting the most votes of the European population is beyond ridiculous a few times in a row imo. Funny actually. Would have been funnier if Israel won.

Do you think Israel is very popular in Europe? So much so that so many country would give the highest points? Ridiculous

I don’t agree. My country gave 12 points to Israel in the public vote and i think it’s fake. Israel seems really unpopular right now it’s almost impossible. https://www.turkiyetoday.com/europe/israeli-eurovision-contestant-faces-boos-amid-manipulated-broadcast-with-fake-cheers-3201597

So are you liberated now through surrender?

GPT Before the establishment of the modern state of Israel in 1948, the rights and status of Jews and Christians in Palestine varied significantly depending on the ruling power and the historical period. Here’s a concise, era-by-era breakdown: 🕌 1. Under Ottoman Rule (1517–1917) Palestine was part of the Ottoman Empire, a Muslim-majority empire with an Islamic legal foundation. The empire governed a multi-religious population using the millet system, which granted recognized religious communities a degree of autonomy. 🔸 Rights of Jews and Christians: Dhimmis: Jews and Christians were classified as dhimmis — protected but subordinate non-Muslim subjects. Allowed to practice religion, run religious schools, and govern personal matters (marriage, divorce) via their own religious leaders. Paid a special tax (jizya) and had some legal/social restrictions: Could not bear arms. Faced limitations on building new places of worship. Social status was legally inferior to Muslims. 🔸 Coexistence: Jews and Christians lived in Jerusalem, Hebron, Safed, and elsewhere. Some local tensions existed but large-scale religious violence was rare compared to Europe at the time. 🎩 2. Under British Mandate (1917–1948) After World War I, the League of Nations granted Britain control over Palestine. The British Mandate officially aimed to protect the rights of all communities while supporting the establishment of a Jewish national home, as stated in the Balfour Declaration (1917). 🔸 Legal Status: Jews, Christians, and Muslims were equal under British law. Religious courts handled personal status issues (e.g., marriage, inheritance). Religious freedom was legally protected. 🔸 Tensions Rise: The rise of Zionism and Jewish immigration led to increasing Arab resistance. Major clashes occurred: 1920, 1921, 1929, 1936–39: Anti-Jewish riots, Arab revolts, British crackdowns. Arab fear of dispossession and Jewish statehood grew. Jewish and Arab communities increasingly lived in separate spheres, with parallel institutions (schools, militias, economies). 🕊️ Summary of Rights Before Israel: Period Jews Christians Notes Ottoman Protected but subordinate; limited civic rights Same as Jews No political equality; local religious autonomy British Mandate Equal under law; rising political status Equal under law Increasing communal tension, especially Jews vs. Arabs 📌 Key Point: Both Jews and Christians had religious freedom before 1948, but neither had full political or national sovereignty. Their legal and social status depended on the ruling empire, and communal tensions escalated in the British period as nationalism (both Arab and Jewish) surged.
