What people fail to understand is also that Zionism was not just a plan/ideology for Jews in Palestine, it was also a vision for Jewish *diasporic* identity. Much of Zionist activity has always taken place outside Palestine/Israel and was about communal identity and politics. Hence the attachment.

Needless to say, NATO made them do it

We are about to finally get serious about fighting woke on Mars

Yes. According to what I am reading, looks like one of the pilots tried to crash the plane and was subdued by the crew and the passengers

From what I understand everyone panicked when they transmitted the hijacking code and the contact with the plane was lost. But at least all those others were on the ground, unlike the passengers

No, of course not new and I am trying to filter out the craziness but she is on the roll these couple of ofweeks, first blaming NATO and opposing military support for Ukraine, then this.

They teach history in Italian schools,you know. Just not this one

That she comes from a country that was Fascist, with racial laws and actively implicated in the Holocaust makes things even worse

Not that anyone expects much from the UN anyway, but that the Special Rapporteur dealing with Palestine and Israel doesn't know (or didn’t know before publicly apologizing for pontificating while ignorant) what antisemitism means is probably not a good thing

No, you are not the only one having this thought

I wonder if there is anyone in the Middle East who did *not* warn Netanyahu days before October 7. Because it looks like pretty much everyone did

Pessimist: Things can't get any worse! Optimist: if you try hard enough, everything is possible!

I would take Yom Kippur over gefilte fish in a heartbeat

Eugene Finkel @efinkel.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Surprised he didn't mention that Russian air defense also destroyed five self-propelled dragons and dispersed eleven autonomous swarms of mosquitoes carrying NATO biological weapons. Those dastardly Ukrainians would stop at nothing to prevent Russians from exercising their constitutional rights

No idea if he is aware of crypto

Realism met Reality. It ended with Realism becoming penniless

Do you think there would be interesting, unexpected results in Russia's parliamentary elections? If yes, which ones?

Remember this celebrated Mecca Joint Defense Agreement between KSA, Pakistan and Türkiye that was supposed to complete reshape the balance of power in the Middle East? Yeah, me too. It was just last month

This loud sound that you hear are the exploding heads of keyboard warriors who just discovered that Middle East is, in fact, quite complicated and actors have more than one interest www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Looks like Putin's strategy with Witkoff and Kushner was to make a convincing argument that Russia is winning and therefore needs protection and those two obviously ate it all up

Israel in 1956 seems to fit. Germany in 1918, especially in the East is open to the interpretation of "aren't about to lose"

Eugene Finkel @efinkel.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

It might be just me but, you know, Ukraine obviously doesn't need Jared Kushner to, you know, just surrender.

On one of Israel's most popular news websites in Hebrew, Ynet, the report on UK statement on ban of settlement trade - 90% of readers' comments blame the Israeli government and settlers, and many are supportive of UK steps. This is not a scientific measure, but gives some indication

Chicago or the Moscow one? Either way, as long as you are not Mearsheimer or his boss, that's not on you

Maybe his realism is simply of an offensive kind (apologies, an IR joke)

Hey, political scientists! While y'all spent your Labor Day weekend at APSA, Mearsheimer went to the conference that really matters and where real intellectual exchange happens, in Moscow
