I envy the Israeli left.
Not their politics. Their freedom.
They march through Tel Aviv calling their own country an apartheid state. They go on CNN and call the IDF war criminals. They write op-eds in Haaretz comparing Israel to the worst regimes in history. They join NGOs funded by hostile governments to produce reports designed to delegitimize the Jewish state.
And then they go home. Sleep in their beds. Send their kids to school the next morning. No one threatens their family. No one disappears them in the night. No one drags them from their home.
Zero consequences.
Now imagine, just imagine, if Iranians had 1% of that freedom. If an Egyptian columnist could criticize Sisi the way Gideon Levy criticizes Netanyahu. If a Palestinian in Ramallah could call Abbas corrupt on live TV and walk home safely. If someone in Gaza could have held a sign saying "Hamas does not speak for me" without being executed.
The Middle East would be unrecognizable.
The great irony is that the people who enjoy more political freedom than virtually anyone else in the region use that freedom to paint Israel as a tyranny while the actual tyrannies they're silent about would imprison or kill them for doing the same.
You're not brave. You're spoiled. You mistake comfort for conscience. You scream "genocide" into a microphone the state itself protects, then sleep soundly in a democracy you spend your days trying to destroy, while millions across this region would trade everything they have for five minutes of the freedom you use to spit on your own country.
@HustleBitch_ Fake news.
Teslas are privately owned and operated by individuals.
Waymo is a taxi service available to the public, that often require customer assistance.
Practically every large company has customer assistance based abroad.
Now is the time for all freedom loving nations to CLOSE the IRANIAN EMBASSY and expel all Iranian diplomats representing the violent + barbaric mullah regime.
Show solidarity with the Iranian people now! @ministerBZ#CloseIranianEmbassy#IranProtests#Iran#IranRevelution2026
@JimmyJ4thewin She saw some videos on X and is now on expert on what would happen if she were to visit 2 different places.
-neither of which she has actually been to.
Thanks for your expertise!
@Concreteisland2 Really now?
That land was never in control of Palestinians.
They didn’t resist the ottoman’s from 1516 to 1917
They didn’t resist the British from 1917 to 1948
They didn’t resist the Jordanians or Egyptians from 1948-1967
PA President Abbas is facing backlash for cutting “pay-for-slay” salaries.
It’s a critical step in de-radicalising his society.
He needs all the support he can get.
