Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Fucking psychos. Even at their peak, the biblical Israel was never that expansive. What farcical claim do they even attempt to make to this?

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

Their farcical claim has been pretty visible for a while now: they need not only the land they consider sacred and theirs but also a security buffer around it. If pressed, they will explain how a security buffer is not just an arbitrary distance of land but possession of key surrounding geographic positions. And that requires them to go all the way to THIS map.

Their acquisition of the Golan Heights set the template for this. Israel used to enjoy saying that they never started any of the conflicts, but even then they would admit that they annexed the Golan proactively because of its strategic positioning and key water sources in the area.

Clearly they won’t be talking about how they never started any of the conflicts anymore. They think they have more to gain than lose by letting that claim go.

Okay, well in that case all their neighbors need a security buffer too, which includes the key geographic position of their entire country.

See how easy it is to make bullshit claims when you're a fucking sociopathic narcissist who doesn't understand or care that other people's needs are just as valid as your own, and that you can't just take things that aren't yours just because you want it?

Children understand this, but apparently the knesset doesn't. It would be pathetic if it wasn't so close to getting the entire world blown up...

Yeah I hope I made clear that while I know what they will say, I am not agreeing with it or justifying.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Oh I know what you meant, it wasn't trying to accuse you. I was just venting my frustrations

Just making sure. Cheers
