The Iranian parliament has literally been chanting "death to Israel" since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, while Israel had absolutely no beef with them beyond self defense, and was even allied with the previous Iranian government before Iran started all this bullshit. So please don't "bothsame" this.
I'm lying in bed tired but awake, waiting for news about the Iranian attacks, all the while listening to my wife snoring her blessed lungs out on one side, the soft breaths of my daughter in her crib on the other side, and the hum of airforce jets flying above, presumably ready to intercept...
A friendly reminder that a lot of the claims and outrage about how poor and miserable and innocent Palestinians are, and how evil Israelis are, are the result of a well oiled Palestinian propaganda machine. Israeli Hasbara has NOTHING on these people, nothing.
They keep refusing any compromise or negotiations in good faith, keep launching unprovoked attacks even after losing every time they do it again and again and again, they refuse to even entertain the notion of a single Jew living on their territory while the converse is obviously not true given...

I think you're just cementing my comparison. It would...

As far as I know, the Orthodox religious stream in Israel is 100% and without compromise against Homosexuality. They even have conversion camps like with some Christian communities.
But don't forget that dying your hair red/green/blue/pink/purple/rainbow instantly makes you an expert in international law. That's a universal truth and you know it.
It's not officially beyond its power, the same court did order Russia to stop the war. Of course, its ability to enforce its decisions is about the same as the city board of San Francisco.
For those who were following this, the genocide charge filed by South Africa against Israel was discussed in the International court of justice in the Hague today.
The result was the second best outcome for Israel. The charges weren't dismissed outright (which would have been ideal), but the...
