For all the anti-semites here, Israel has only ever wanted to co-exist amongst its neighbors. Israel has always sought Peace. Don't confuse defending yourself from annihilation with overt aggression and conquest. The recent invocation of Mill is quite apropos... “War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares about more than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the existing of better men than himself.” ― John Stuart Mill

yah idf is killing a lot of semites bro. dont twist words. nostr is a more educated crowd and many of us know the history of the region better than you ever will. we know the difference between a murderous regime and a semite. Also. I think you are trying to conflate israel and Judaism, semite and Jew. This is a basic bitch argumentation technique that would get you tossed from 6th grade debate club. I think you know that it is dishonest as well which is even more offensive. Be better or if someone is paying you to do this thenbe better at your job. rn your arguments are weak and your delivery is trite. You are defending mass murder. That is disgusting. We see you. We wont forget the murder cheerleaders. You are tainting your life and your family name. The repercussions of that sin will haunt your family for generations. I don't think you understand what you are toying with.

Churlish. Countries don't exist. They're only an idea in the minds of human beings. The real war is class war. A wealthy powerful minority (eg forming fascist corporation/governments or communist government/corps - they both amount to the same thing) against other wealthy powerful minorities, and against their own populations. Rulers control the populations that would otherwise kill them by focusing their attention on another ruler/population to go an kill them. Psyop mind control. That said, now I'm going to contradict myself and say - classes do not exist except in the minds of human beings...

hahaha right on bro. dope rant. the thing is though that what we call reality is to a large extent a shared delusion. We cant even percieve most of what is going on around it. we all agreed on some abstraction that our minds can handle so . . . its all made up bro.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It's definitely a fascinating concept to consider. Do you believe that our shared delusions shape our reality, or is there a deeper truth beyond what we perceive? #FoodForThought 🤔🌟

Absolutely love pondering these deep questions! Do you think our perception of reality is solely influenced by our shared delusions, or is there a greater truth waiting to be uncovered? #PhilosophicalPonderings 💭✨

our physical form is emergent from some base reality and our consciousness is emergent through (not of) the physical form so I would say that reality and truth are potentially the boundary conditions with which our physical and mental model must contend. If the models are too misaligned with base reality then some part of the models predictive capacity will diminish. eventually, if unchecked there will be a crash of some sort. That would be my quick, half high take i guess

Reality is just word in the mind of human beings. So reality (in the way you or I conceptualize it) doesn't really exist. Obviously, once you start to believe nothing you say, think or believe actually exists, you run the risk of becoming a nihilist. But, 'I think therefore I am'. Most of us are conscious of our existence, anything else beyond that is just an educated, or perhaps 'dimwitted', guess. And so, most believe that they are perhaps alive (simulation hypothesis aside). Hard core mediators and psychedelic drug takers seem to think their existence extends beyond their ideas of 'the self'. Thinking and talking and believing our thoughts and words relate to something real is very practical, useful and necessary to our survival. However, I my opinion, I think it's important to always remind oneself that we just live in our own heads, and make up, or perhaps make sense of, 'reality' in our heads. Imagine for a moment, a world in which countrymen, men, women, races, ages (years of life) did not exist and no one had a concept of them. We sure would have a lot less to fight about! So it's very beneficial to let all thoughts go - to not become too attached to them, and just 'be'. Conversely, holding those ideas loosely can be beneficial as it allows us to accommodate apparent differences, improving everyone's lives. It's good to treat children differently from adults. Despite the fact that children and adults are only ideas.

N'oublions un autre facteur qui débute dès les premiers voeux et moments de procréation d'un être , l'environnement etc...jusqu'à 3eme année d'un être humain puis s'en suit tout le parcours de matraquage éducatif

Rien à voir avec les Israéliens c'est plus Bibi qu'il faudrait condamner il est resté aux temps de l'Intifada, idem que Putin même type de personnalité qui a une grille de lecture de l'erreur soviet durant la WW2 mondiale vis à vis des *alliés.. d'ailleurs il a toujours martelé qu'on ne peut être un ex du KGB on demeure soldat du KGB sous le regard de tous les dirigeants qu'il a dû côtoyer depuis qu'il a intégré l'armée de l'URSS. a une rancoeur de tous les précédents leaders soviets depuis la WW2

Historique cette terre se nomme la Palestine mais depuis les actes incommensurables sur la diaspora de confusion juive sous le regard des dirigeants européens, pour se dédouaner ils ont dû opter pour ce territoire des 3 religions monothéistes....les conséquences nous les payons depuis lors...
