Government, meet the consequences of you own actions. Happy to introduce you.

They could use critical thinking and Sagan's baloney kit to escape supernatural dogmatic systems and see what healthier ways there are to live. Yes, do that and stop the violence and suffering, caused by the wealth/power inequality that benefits men, designed by them into the unhealthy supernatural systems, that punch down on others in the hierarchy.

The CIA also spent 13 years hunting Radovan Karadžić, a Serbian who was living a public life in Serbia.

The last place youd expect!

[-] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 hours ago

It's a stretch, as it is based on resentment among genocidal supporters for ultra orthodox faction not joining IDF. Though, afaiu, they are part of settler violence/theft, and no genocidal faction resents the settler actions, or sides with international condemnation of IDF/settler genocide/theft.

[-] Cornpop@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

That would be dreamy.

[-] CyroSignal@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Why is there a risk of civil war and total collapse ???

[-] Vex_Detrause@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 hours ago

Looks like a lot of people are not happy with ultra-orthodox population are exempt from military service, increasing food prices and US starting to separate from them. There's also an election on Oct 27. There is also a mention of veterans coming back with PTSD from the war. The CIA research is saying they are on the edge of civil war. But don't quote me as the article has their sources that we can't verify. Also I don't think the CIA research won't be released.

[-] jve@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Perhaps the article could shed some light on the subject.

“As we’re moving forward with further integrating our military-industrial capacity with them, there’s deep frustration that we’re doing this for a country that dragged us into a war we’re losing, a country that spies on us.”

Then fucking stop!

Over what? Half the country likes genocide and the other half likes genocide, too? All these terrorist countries like Israel, the USA and Russia can all go to hell.

[-] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 15 points 13 hours ago

One side wants to genocide harder while the other prefers a more "civilized" genocide.

[-] suodrazah@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 hours ago

I wish they'd genocide each other for once ffs

This is exactly what I thought. What are they going to fight about exactly? Who gets to genocide the locals first? In Israel you have the far right and the farrer right

That's what I said, out loud, as the comments loaded, right at the instant before this popped up.

CIA reports what Isreal wants them to report. So Netanyahu wants you to think the country is close to collapse. So that he can justify emergency powers to keep himself in power indefinitely.

[-] Shindo66@lemmy.world 22 points 18 hours ago

Yeah, the CIA isn't just going to give out info for the sake of giving out info. I dont know what the thought is, but there's something behind it.

Seems like many prominent politicians are aging, nearing the end of their lives and just want to go out with a bang.

One of the deepest fractures in Israeli politics has emerged not over opposition to the country’s war crimes—but over who is expected to fight and who is exempt.

In case anyone's confused the contradictions include regrets over what's been done in Gaza.

[-] blackshirt@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago

It's:

  1. I want war crimes done by ME.

  2. I want war crimes, but just enjoy watching not risking my life on them.

[-] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 28 points 20 hours ago

Yup. Young men pretend to be Haredi for a few years to avoid service so now they only have the ultra theological nuts to draft from.

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 57 points 20 hours ago

Well, I predict LOTS of civil wars in LOTS of places, especially as the environment collapses and basic needs aren’t met.

[-] Craccoon@lemmy.world 11 points 15 hours ago

Good. The state of Israel is evil.

[-] wondrous_strange@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago

I have no lost love for Israel but this site is one of the worst propaganda rags I've seen in a while. This is the same site that tried to claim protesters in Iran were actually being shot by Israel. These people will print anything regardless of how much it smells like bullshit.

Israel is politically unstable right now but hardly at the edge of civil war.

[-] Felis_Catus_Domesticus@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago
[-] wondrous_strange@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Yeah I smell bullshit. Although I'd love to see it.

The article itself seems accurate geopolitics wise and also regarding the current status of the Zionist state. But still, I dosnt prove it was produced by cia

Please put all religious fanatics in the desert and have them nuke each other

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 2 points 5 hours ago

Fun fact: Even secular wholesome Israelis also want to colonize Palestine (though they're sometimes less enthusiastic about genociding the inhabitants). Chalking this up to religion has nothing to do with reality and is frankly colonialist apologia.

[-] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 7 points 15 hours ago

Hope it burns to the ground.
