The owners of Jerusalem forcing Christians to pay an extra tax…

Hey, I’ve seen this one before!

India: I consent

Iran : I consent

USA: isn’t there someone you forgot to ask

He was a defense lawyer for a couple of soldiers tried for war crimes, he did the leak because he was annoyed the grunts were being charged, but their officers who ordered/let the war crimes happen only saw court as a witness for the prosecution

Carl marks is being sarcastic. A common anti-communist talking point is saying [communist country] is bad because they jail political dissidents when the west is just as willing

That Biden still carries water for Israel despite recognizing they misuse the weapons we give them

He’s literally pushing through an anti-immigration bill, also we have always had a strong nativist movement

It ain’t new, half of W’s bushisms were an attempt to avoid giving news media a sound bite or quote out of context

Their oppressive autocracy vs our (?)

Israel is a vassal state to the USA and is integral to American interests in the region (Isreal’s nickname is America’s unsinkable aircraft carrier). Also racism/islamaphobia.

But what does the AMD official have to say about this?

It is also a fair note. That neither Palestine or Israel has any real claim. The state that owned the land. The otterman empire. No longer existed when the land was allocated.

What the actual fuck are you talking about. Like seriously, what does it matter that the ottoman empire ruled the land, the Palestinians (including a number of orthodox Jews) lived there. That’s their fucking claim to it

And while the UK allocation of peoples homes was crappy. The fact that the Palestinian peoples leaders refuse to accept any compromise that allows the existence of Israel. Is also the reason the current mess exists.

Do you want to interrogate this further, why was it crappy, could it be because the UK had a vested interest in creating a colonial project? And why should the Palestinians compromise, colonizers are coming in, removing them from their homes and killing them indescriminately. How can you even compromise with Israel when they continue to illegally steal land on the west bank and golan heights (and of they had their way Sinai too)

All sides are pretty fucked up here.

Go fuck yourself

The UN does not recognize a Palestinian government the UN charter explicitly described both the states of Palestine and Isreal

So youre saying we should stop sending arms and money to Russia?

Wait, no that can’t be it, so we should send arms and money to Palestine? Based AF

But to be serious though, the difference is a country has not brought up formal accusations of genocide in Ukraine before the ICJ. Also:

I fully believe that it was publicly posted, you have ministers calling for the open settlement/colonization of the Gaza beachfront, citizens blocking aid other examples of people posting their war crimes online

This just in: UNICEF is Hamas

For decades China’s policy has been team territorial integrity (ie borders were set in 1948, and people shouldn’t talk about them). Previously this meant supporting the 1967 borders. Their current position is still consistent with this (Israel still occupies the west bank), and has the added bonus of improving relations in the region which China has already invested a good deal in (see belt and road initiative)

Honestly this is one of the more straightforward cases of geopolitics, shit like the Nigerian Civil war however…

Because he wrote and directed squid game

Why refer to Paul Verhoeven when Bong Joon-ho is right there

For a bit more

The KMT (or the pan-blue party to be more general) is the remains of the RoC, they still claim themselves to be the rightful government of China and agree on the one China policy. This party tends conservative

The DPP (or the pan-green party) argues for Taiwanese Independence. This party tends progressive and has been getting more popular over time, but they haven’t broken the blue party’s hold

If we’re going BB inspired then get me a drivable blendo
