Even before the war, every week there were huge protests in Tel Aviv against the extremist government. Now they just have another thing to protest over - the hostages.
If in the next election Bibi will stay, then I guess a truly loud and large departure will happen.
They should increase the number of dead from 200 to 40,000. That’ll show those damn zionists!
Say what you want, but that “resistance” have only brought them pain and suffering which will last for generations.
I guess they didn’t hear the saying “be smart not right”.
Nice job defending from that Genocide, considering the difference in Gazans dead between 2022 and 2023/2024.
First person I saw on Lemmy who actually has a braincell.
Is it that hard to see that one side’s goal is revenge, and the other’s goal is security?
A monopoly isn’t inherently bad, but a monopoly by a state is pretty bad. It means they can exert political pressure over you using that sector’s influence.
Heck, look at Russia and gas. It impacted tons of people all over the world, and if the world hadn’t collectively said “fuck you Russia we’ll handle ourselves without you” - then countries like Germany wouldn’t have a choice but keep buying Russian Gas.
That’s a political power you really don’t wanna give to anyone, especially not China.
Yes, competition could restart, but that’d take time. And you don’t always have that time. Again, see Russia and gas as a nice example for that.
It’s a bit more complicated than that. You don’t want total reliance from one country (especially one as questionable as China) over a whole big ass sector of your economic. And China being super cheap will cause a monopoly of their EVs. That’s bad.
And you really think palestinians have no hand in any of that? Jews were persecuted and exiled from all over the world, left their home after it became too hostile for a better future. Palestinians chose to stay in an explosive situation, waging wars and losing them. When your neighbour is stronger and doesn’t want you - leave. Every nation in the world knows this except for the palestinians.
