We should be thanking Israel
Israel suffered a barbaric attack involving knife rape, child torture, and other depravities carried out by deranged terrorists.
Humanity owes a debt of thanks to the IDF, Mossad and the Israeli government for hunting these criminals down and holding them accountable. Every criminal caught and removed from society makes the world a better and safer place.
In the process of hunting these evil criminals, the IDF conducted urban warfare in an extraordinary way never before seen, minimizing collateral civilian casualties. They used a strategy that can and should be modeled by other countries in future conflicts, potentially preventing the needless future deaths of hundreds of thousands of people—or more. Who knows? The true civilian casualty figures suggest a better outcome than many expected, so thank you, Israel.
That said, I do have sympathy for the Palestinian people, who have been used as puppets for 70 years or more. This is a population whose Islamic traditions, assisted by the UN and other bodies, have taught their children hate from the tender age of 4—resulting in a widespread psychological pathology.
These people are kept in perpetual refugee status to serve as a propaganda/business tool, enriching a small number of puppeteers. In turn, those puppeteers use this money (Billions of dollars) to infiltrate Western universities, media, and politics. Though the crimes committed by some Palestinians come with strong contextual factors, any person with a clear and critical mind should demand justice for the Oct 7thvictims. Until we take away the financial incentives keeping this conflict going, the ideological and other problems caused by both Israeli and Palestinians will be problematic to address.
Islamic texts provide a ready ideological handbook that some embrace with genuine conviction. Yet promoting the most militant interpretations — through schools, media, and religious institutions — aligns perfectly with the business interests of those who profit from perpetual conflict.
Successful ideological capture turns hearts and minds into assets: a steady supply of recruits, international sympathy, and funding, all while enriching a small elite.
I am not an economist, but I have read the works of a few.
I would be happy to be educated further, but my understanding is that the government has a budget which is then passed to the central bank. The central bank, which is owned by the government, places that money in the government account ready to be distributed. Spending on things like infrastructure, education, health, social programmes and much more is then paid for. This means money is now in the economy ready to be used by the private sector. This process actually creates money and increases GDP.
Taxation is a means for the government to remove money from the economy in order to control things such as inflation.
The deficit should not be regarded as debt. In fact, the government needs to maintain a deficit for the economy to work. The deficit is essentially the amount of money injected into the economy at large.
If the private sector takes out loans from private financial institutions, similar things apply. Every loan agreed is essentially money added to the economy and also adds to GDP. This remains the case until the loan is paid back. If there is too much money tied up in borrowing, consumers tend to focus on managing debt, causing sluggish economic turnover. This leads to unemployment and possibly the larger deficits we see.
At the moment, private debt in most Western countries is well over 100% of GDP, causing slower growth. The trend is downward, but very slow.
Bond markets also play a part, but I do not want to go into that here.
@MForstater@judge148 Never heard of any concerns with regards to Trans Men using Men’s facilities. I would be surprised if men would put up any widespread objections. Trans women going into women’s spaces is different matter.
I am also not a debater or academic but felt compelled to spend a lot of time to find the actual truth. I knew I would not get this from own world view, through mainstream media and activist commentators. I also knew I would not get this from organizations such as the UN and its partner NGO’s.
I have found just as Yuri Breshnev stated that once a person is activated to a level of demoralization no amount of evidence will convince otherwise. So, with that I am not going to waste my time in writing a book on an X feed. The only way to find the truth is to make this your goal, along with some effort. Only your own journey can reveal the truth. If you have a specific claim you wished to be debunked, then others on X will help with that.
Start by listening to what the Palestinians say themselves. Look at the Palestinian Charter. Look at that go pro feeds on social media where the Oct 7th participants barbarically knifed raped young girls. Raped and Murdered women in their homes then murdered the husband and children. Throwing Babies on the fire. Terrorizing and murdering old people. Listen to the gleeful commentary and the crowds cheering. Read the testimony of the freed hostages.
Then before the Israeli bodies were even cold how did the University protests spin up all through the west. Investigate the Muslim Brother Hood and partners on how they were able to infiltrate the Media, Universities and other institutions.
Then research the 2 million Arabic Muslims happily living free in Israel and participating in all walks of life including politic. This is something that has been offered to Palestinians more than once by the way.
If at the end you do not conclude that the only goal is the destruction of Israel by the death of all the people, then I would like to understand that thinking.
If you don’t conclude that Israeli response was a direct result of the Genocide attempted on them

Many of those Critical to Israel are complaining about things that any government are guilty of. Political influence here or financing there and so on and so forth

@johngoi42637012@SocialistMMA@ggreenwald Funding Israel will help stop the violence and genocide. Attention can then be directed to Genocide in the Sub Saharan region. The leftist narrative around Israel is easily dismantled with logic.
@GadSaad Thank you IDF and Mossad for removal of any violent savages. Each one removed makes the world just a little bit better and a tiny bit less scary.
Racism is simply a thought or an ideal in a person’s head and has very little effect on society at large. To build a movement on standing up to racism seems to be ludicrous idea. Standing up to certain types of discrimination is another thing entirely.

Its not just socialism as a system that appears to always fail. Outside of Education and health I tried to research any individual socialist policies or programs implemented in the past and any where in the world and could not find one that provided any net gain for society as a whole.
Education and health is more successful while adhering to the principles of equality of opportunity and meritocracy
@NaomiSeibt It’s hard to determine exact figure but surveys and studies suggest, that 15 up to 25% of male Muslim migrants have jihadist tendencies. Most of the rest are inactive but are still loyal supporters of the jihadists and form part of a taqiyya shield.
@NaomiSeibt NGOs are one of the architects. They have prestige and have unjustified but tremendous influence. Most of the thousands of NGOs have been captured by the far left and are funded by Goerge Soros, China, terrorists groups and our own Governments.
