Israel facing unprecedented psychological collapse under weight of its own wars
——
An unprecedented psychological collapse is tearing through Israeli society as prolonged Israeli aggression triggers a massive wave of post-traumatic stress disorder, domestic violence, and suicide. According to data from the National Insurance Institute and the Israeli Ministry of War published by Haaretz, the number of people recognized with 'war-related' mental disabilities has skyrocketed tenfold over the past three years, jumping from roughly 6,400 to more than 69,000.
Experts warn that the current surge represents just the "tip of the iceberg," with hundreds of thousands of combat veterans and settlers showing delayed traumatic reactions that function as societal "ticking time bombs."
The systemic rot has deeply infected both the military and domestic sectors, with the War Ministry now projecting that its rehabilitation branch will absorb over 100,000 psychologically injured casualties by next year. Under the intense weight of the continuous mobilization, domestic violence has surged by 65 percent, clinical insomnia has afflicted nearly a third of the population, and substance abuse involving alcohol and hard drugs has grown rampant among wounded veterans.
Compounding the crisis is a severe brain drain of medical professionals, driven by the government's highly divisive judicial overhaul and the sheer exhaustion of the healthcare system. Dozens of senior psychiatrists have permanently relocated to nations like the UK, Canada, and New Zealand, leaving public clinics completely understaffed with an impossible ratio of up to 770 patients per social worker.
@MERKJONES@NotPotBol Policing what words you use isn't effective beyond small conversations, for a party being honest and clear is a much better option except for when it's illegal. Pretending to be socdems/whatever will encourage opportunism, and anti-communists will still refer to you as communists
You're a worker. You don't have to agree with every decision of the communist movement or of the socialist states throughout history, but to disavow them in their entirety means you disavow your own right to imperfectly fight for liberation. This is your history, too.
"Late stage capitalism" and "neo-feudalism" serve the same purpose. They displace Marxist-Leninist analysis and obfuscate the current economic system: imperialism. It's particularly obvious with Varoufakis, who pushes restrictions on tech monopolies (reforms) as revolution.
@MarxianAngel Israel is just an extension of the big Satan, an appendage that would have been invented for the sake of it's interests even if Israel never existed
Cleared for publication: Staff Sergeant Noam Hamburger, 23 year old tech and maintenance soldier from the 9th Battalion was killed by a FPV drone in southern Lebanon. Another IOF soldier was seriously wounded in the strike.
Cuba has for decades maintained an infant mortality rate on par or better than most developed nations (better than the US).
Since Trump harden the already vicious blockade in 2017 infant mortality in Cuba has risen by 158%. That's 1,800 babies that have died for Miami.
@CogitoEdu Cuba has done so much for the world, from fighting for the oppressed to sending aid to those in need, and this is how they are treated in return. 1800 babies killed by a violent blockade. There is no hell hot enough for the monsters responsible for this
@MarxismGhost@peachinash Not to mention the current administration's defining politics has been a historic anti-corruption campaign in a scope never before seen in modern China. So much so it's even gotten rid of not just oppositional elements but also Party allies and loyalists.

@peachinash@SeraJadeAtPSA Every government has corruption, but this tweet is highlighting how bureaucrats can't get away with it (and how democratic poverty alleviation has been). As a result of rapid development the country has many contradictions but the CPC is actively improving the people's conditions
