At this point and how their government acts I would say they don't deserve to be a country . They literally act like a modern day Nazi Germany .
But it seems 80 years In terms of political ideology is enough time to shift everything upside down... for any country. Just dotted lines on a map man.
We are all just human.
Take a good long look at human rights across the world today. Realize just how many people live in a society where they are a form of slave, one way or another. Fascism and totalitarianism appears more like humanity's default organization method, where as NATO's Democracies are sort of a strange fluke. Not all that large nor encompassing. And apparently, extremely fragile and prone to breaking apart.
In the full context of human failings, the distance between any of us (Israel included) and Nazism is not that far. And the loss of life not bothering Germany until they send a strongly worded letter over the hospital / journalist strike... probably because we witness Africa and other war torn regions with that sort of slaughter occurring 24/7. It is just that certain actions catch the public eye and make us reflexively denounce it, but otherwise Genocide appears to be standard order of the day.
Just look at how difficult, laborious, slow and ineffective our effort is to simply oppose millions dying from an unjust invasion in Europe. If we truly opposed it. We would be fighting with our military. Our strength. We would have ended that killing and saved lives. Instead, we sit back and watch. Thankfully most nations are at least providing aid, even if MAGA has crippled US morality and stopped our aid nearly altogether. But the gap between what we should be doing, and what we have actually done to stop the killing... apparently has always been fucking enormous. Whether it is in Africa, Europe, or Israel.
Watching and knowing how humanity reacts (or lackthereof) to genocide... disgusts me.
We need to do better in so many ways, in so many places.
