Billy@lemmy.dbzer0.comto World News@lemmy.world•Man in Florida 'shoots two Israelis he thought were Palestinian'English41·6 months agoWhat you originally wrote doesn’t imply only leaders.
The current leaders of Zionist parties that are part of the government are, Netanyahu, Smotrich, Ben Gvir and Arie Deri. That’s 2 Ashkenazis and 2 Mizrahis.They voted for the Likud mostly because of the racism they experienced. That resulted in much more Mizrahi Jews in places of power and the shrinking of the gap between Ashkenazi and Mizrahi Jews.
Justifiable or not, that clearly worked in their interest.But clearly you’re just looking to attack people, so I’m wasting my time.
Billy@lemmy.dbzer0.comto World News@lemmy.world•Man in Florida 'shoots two Israelis he thought were Palestinian'English42·6 months agoYou wrote it again, but do you mean Revisionist Zionism? I didn’t pretend, as it’s completely irrelevant.
You wrote that the hardcore Zionist tends to be European. You were corrected that it isn’t true today.
You should clarify yourself if you meant something else.The article points out Mizrahi are more right wing.
Likud’s voters are still mostly Mizrahi, even if less Mizrahi are voting for them as compared to the past.
And it isn’t the only right wing party or the most extreme one. Ben Gvir’s party is worse and also has mostly Mizrahi voters.I haven’t managed to find the articles that talked about the last election in the context of Mizrahi Jews, but you can go through the last election result map and see the places where the Likud got the highest percentages are almost all Mizrahi dominated.
And vote against their interests in which way?
Billy@lemmy.dbzer0.comto World News@lemmy.world•Man in Florida 'shoots two Israelis he thought were Palestinian'English31·6 months agoYou mean Netanyahu’s parents.
Where were Ben Gvir’s parents from?The majority of Likud, Shas and Ben Gvir voters are Mizrahi Jews.
Israeli Mizrahi Jews in general tend to be more right wing in general.

But they aren’t an active part of the current situation.
Best case scenario for Syrian citizens, is if the Turkey-backed Sunni Islamist forces and the Shia Islamist / Assad regime / Russian / Iranian forces considerably dwindle each other’s numbers and capabilities, with the Kurds swooping in at the end to help turn the rest of Syria into a Democratic Socialist state.

Which “progressive” government did Israel have in the last 30 years?
Barak and especially Rabin’s government stopped the settlements.
Olmert had the “realignment plan”, which was shelved due to the 2nd Lebanon war.
Billy@lemmy.dbzer0.comto World News@lemmy.world•IDF says it is striking military targets in Iran as sound of explosions reported around TehranEnglish911·9 months agoSounds like they hit some missile manufacturing facilities. Hopefully they also hit some drone facilities.
Less missiles and drones for Russia’s attacks on Ukraine and for the Iranian militias’ attacks on the Kurds in Syria and Iraq.Edit: Seems like they did also hit drone facilities. Less Shahed drones for Russia.

Billy@lemmy.dbzer0.comto World News@lemmy.world•Israel strikes Syrian capital Damascus, military site near HomsEnglish87·9 months agoRussia and Turkey have been bombing in Syria for many years now. Turkey has also been bombing for years in Iraq.
None of this is actually new.

…leading to a gunfight during which Sinwar escaped into a ruined building.
…tank shells and a missile were also fired at the building.

Billy@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPto World News@lemmy.world•Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar likely killed in Gaza clash, officials sayEnglish85·10 months agoI agree it’s more complicated, but it doesn’t change what I wrote.
A weaker Iran means a weaker Russia and vice versa.
If both are weakened, Assad is weakened.
But I guess it’s not as clear cut with Turkey. Although the Kurds will have an easier time when they won’t have to fight Iranian, Syrian and Russian forces along with Turkish ones. And a weakening of Iran will also weaken Iranian-affiliated Iraqi militias that are also attacking Kurds.Russia didn’t let Israel, one of their bases were shot at for 40 minutes straight as a warning.
They also got a bunch of other warnings before and after. Russia won’t waste their time on this when they’re already losing so much in the war with Ukraine.Both Russia and Iran helped Assad in the civil war.
Israel is allied with Azerbaijan because of their border with Iran.
Turkey was already assisting Hamas even before. They’ll keep trade with Israel behind the scenes for economic reasons like they’ve always done.
And at the moment Russia is assisting Turkey in bombing the Kurds.
The dentals match. They compared it to the xrays they had of when he was treated in an Israeli prison.
But I guess they want to be 100% sure with the DNA test.

Mousa abu Marzouk and Khaled Mashaal are the ones in Qatar (and previously, Haniyeh).
Billy@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPto World News@lemmy.world•Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar likely killed in Gaza clash, officials sayEnglish2812·10 months agoHopefully we will also see their ally Russia dismantled in the coming year.
All which might cause the weakening of Turkish forces in Syria and the demise of Assad.
Most Israelis are Mizrahi Jews without any connection to Europe
