Israeli schools don't have proper uniforms but they have this weird middle ground where you're only allowed to wear plain t-shirts with the school logo printed
There are five types of cultures.
1. Those who created modernity (English, American, Dutch)
2. Those who sought out Modernity (French, Chinese, Mexican)
3. Those who had modernity thrust upon them (Japanese, Jewish, Turkish)
4. Those for whom modernity slowly slithered in (Indian, Arabian, Indonesian)
5. Those for whom modernity still has not arrived
@JDS1236250411 Macron is percieved as quite hostile, especially as he contsantly tries to stick his nose in the Lebanon conflict. Plus French military exhibitions covering up Israeli exhibits and stuff like that
The Jewish-Arab perception gap is striking.
For instance, most Israeli Arabs view the UK as friendly to Israel, while Israeli Jews overwhelmingly disagree.
On the other hand, Jews are far more likely than Arabs to view India as friendly.
Russian indifference to these kinds of losses is the most mind-boggling thing to me about their culture. Just completely alien from a western (and even more so Israeli) mindset
I decided to look this up. The russians are losing more soldiers every day than the bloodiest day of losses the U.S. Army took in Vietnam.
On January 31st, 1968, the U.S. Army lost 246 KIA in a single day. These losses, as well as other thousands of other U.S. KIA during the fighting, had severe political ramifications in the United States and strengthened the anti-war movement.
The russians are taking peak Tet Offensive-level losses daily (usually more) and everyone is just acting like it’s normal.
@poop1948@ShirPeled זה לא מדויק שעברית הייתה אך ורק שפת קודש. הייתה הרבה שירה למשל, גם לא דתית. נכון שלכתוב סיפור על ארתור זה די משונה ליהודי אבל הסיפור של עברית יותר מורכב ממה שחושבים

ישראלי צעיר שבמקום להתחיל את חייו הבוגרים מלמטה כמו כולם, הפך לח"כ ובטוח שהוא מנהיג.
מבולבל לחלוטין.
באמת שמרחם עליו
