I don’t know much history either. Maybe Sinai in the Yom-Kippur war (1973)?

Well, if you consider Israel to be a nuclear power…

It definitely is, but it doesn’t try to force recommendations on you like YouTube. You can mostly just subscribe to channels you like and view their content.

And it can also store passkeys to effortlessly sync between desktop/Android/iOS

There’s no way of knowing that, though. Perhaps their Linux and Darwin drivers wouldn’t have paniced the system?

Regardless, doing almost anything at the kernel level is never a good idea

Maybe? But then you’d have to blame Arab citizens of Israel (however they may identify) the most. They make up a fifth of the population only about 15% of voters (in the last election). There’s a comparison to be drawn to the “not voting for Biden” crowd[1].

[1] - It is different, as Biden is too moderate for some people, but that’s not an issue with Arab parties in Israel. It’s more a feeling that, even with a high seat count, nothing can be done, which may or may not be true.

They all serve in the IDF. They have all been actively involved in war crimes.

How does that follow? In your opinion, is involed in war crimes the same as war criminals, and that the same as child killers? Where do you make the distinction, if not?

I didn’t say any of that […]

I know. That’s why I added a question mark.

This is going to get you nowhere. What are you saying? Lock everyone up? Despite being wrong and immoral, it’s also impractical.

Its Israelis running the government

Elected government. Have you heard of majority rule? The government needs only 50% + 1 votes to get in power. Also consider the low voter turnout.

mandatory service

It’s in the name, what are you going to do?

But generally, people who don’t want to can avoid going to combat roles.

1–2 years

They are increasing it to 3 years for men. Read up on the situation to get a taste of sweet Israeli domestic politics

Israelis: Your government has made your nation a pariah. You are the people best positioned to change that. Get those motherfuckers out of office.

They’re trying… but for some inside perspective: the atmosphere feels somewhat oppressive. All mainstream media (except for this same Haaretz newspaper) get their info directly from the IDF, not considering other sources. And the right’s decades-long campaign to convince the majority of the populace that peace is impossible seems to be working (it’s a really complicated situation, made worse by people who actively want to make it worse). Compound that with the police becoming increasingly politicized (not that they weren’t discriminatory at all before), and you get a recipe for just a mess. You would just as well be asking why Russians haven’t got rid of Putin, Hungarians of Orbán, etc.
And despite that, there are protests. There are demonstrations. But dear Netanyahu doesn’t want to call an election. One can only hope that his coalition collapses over internal issues (look up: conscription of ultra-orthodox Jews, a hostages-for-ceasefire deal), though that is unlikely.

And this is even more horrible when you consider that Netanyahu’s policy of strengthening Hamas and weakening the PA/PLO, in order to lessen the chance of peace and, in his view, better Israel’s security, has led to the country actually losing territory for the first time in decades! Israelis would literally be safer if the Oslo accords had continued, to actual peace. But good luck convincing them (even those who oppose the current government) of that after years of right-wing government which made it seem impossible.

I want to stress that I don’t think your average Israeli citizen is an evil person. Not even your average IDF soldier (except those that actually call the shots). They believe that what they’re doing is necessary, because of (justified) anger at the 7th of October events, as well as the incredible success of the right in general to move the political climate in its direction. Might this be stupid? It might, but there are consequences for falling out of line (especially in the army, as you might imagine). That hasn’t stopped some admittedly brave people from doing it.

We’ve already seen that Netanyahu doesn’t care about protests; those are perpetual in Israel. He will only resign if he is absolutely convinced that it is better for his personal well-being to do that (currently, he doesn’t. He’s on trial for corruption).

Definitely a good point, but not very relevant as the article doesn’t really touch on antisemitism, but more on blanket rejection of Israeli citizens with no regard for what their opinion may be

Surely the US government won’t like that if they’re US citizens, right?

No option to disable… that I found, that is.

Mine provides a connection, but doesn’t expose ports on v6. So I can access v6 services but can’t self-host any.

supporting a terrorist organization

Also a serial traffic offender. Not really that important but quite ironic as he is responsible for the police.

Protests were calling for years for Netanyahu to go to The Hague. Is it happening?

There’s a known Plasma 6 bug causing some weirdness at the bottom of the screen, but I expect it will be fixed soon. In any case, switching between virtual desktops gets rid of it.
