do you know much about Israeli politics tho?

2019-04-08 17:31:16 UTC  

I've been following it closely given that there's a small but real chance that Netanyahu may lose the election

2019-04-08 17:31:34 UTC  

he's getting Muellered right now with trumped-up charges

2019-04-08 17:34:09 UTC  

I’d actually love that. I haven’t been able to follow much so I’d love a little lesson in how Israeli politics works. I know the Likud has allied with other parties like European Parliaments do to form a stronger majority but I’d like better details on the issue

2019-04-08 17:34:45 UTC  

it's supremely gay

2019-04-08 17:35:00 UTC  

Israel has one of the most fractured political scenes of any democracy

2019-04-08 17:36:04 UTC  

they have proportional voting with a single nationwide constituency so the largest party usually gets 30 seats max (in a parliament of 120 seats total) and alliances usually consist of four or more parties, making them laughably unstable

2019-04-08 17:36:26 UTC  

there hasn't been a single Israeli government that has served a full term in decades for this reason

2019-04-08 17:37:16 UTC  

the Netherlands and Belgium have similar systems, Belgium's is made worse by mandatory federal power-sharing between Walloons and Flemings, which is why it usually takes them months to form a government

2019-04-08 17:38:04 UTC  

the ideal system is something like what the Poles and Hungarians have where there's enough proportionality to allow minority parties to win seats but there's a clearly dominant party that can form a stable government

2019-04-08 18:24:11 UTC  

they don't call the new Left Wing Alliance opposing Netenyahu, a Left Wing Alliance over there

2019-04-08 18:24:41 UTC  

to the Israeli Media, anything other than Labor is Centrist at best lol

2019-04-08 18:24:53 UTC  

That’s true

2019-04-08 18:24:57 UTC  

that's a tactic used across the western world

2019-04-08 18:24:59 UTC  

I'd be interested out of morbid curiosity if nothing else.

2019-04-08 18:25:24 UTC  

left-wingers are never depicted as such unless they're genuine radicals like Tulsi Gabbard

2019-04-08 18:25:28 UTC  

@mattforney Yeah conservativism is dead in the mainstream

2019-04-08 18:25:42 UTC  

in Hungary the far-left Momentum party, for example, is called "centrist"

2019-04-08 18:25:56 UTC  

same with that faggot party in Poland that wants gay marriage

2019-04-08 18:26:15 UTC  

A story about our favorite leaf is underway. It will be called The Wop of Milan

2019-04-08 18:26:27 UTC  

@mattforney Lol is that what it’s translated to?

2019-04-08 18:26:32 UTC  

if you don't want to replace your own ppl, u a pussy ass centrist

2019-04-08 18:27:07 UTC  

@Deleted User no, it's literally called "Momentum" because they're a Soros-backed bird-dogging party

2019-04-08 18:27:23 UTC  

like how "pro-democracy" protesters in Ukraine and Egypt always had English-language signs

2019-04-08 18:27:48 UTC  

@mattforney ah ok ti

2019-04-08 18:28:23 UTC  

And yeah I watched a lot of news about Ukraine from independent sources

2019-04-08 18:30:26 UTC  

democracy in leftist lingo basically means having total social control and a non right wing right wing political opposition

2019-04-08 18:30:44 UTC  

that is what they mean when they say "our democracy" is in danger

2019-04-08 18:31:22 UTC  

Yep

2019-04-08 18:31:47 UTC  

That’s why Trump while cucked at parts scares them p

2019-04-08 18:32:31 UTC  

the Israeli election will be really interesting. the Internationalist Jews really really really want Netanyahu gone

2019-04-08 18:33:01 UTC  

Also the fact he’s going through hell to get the wall up is in the long run a good thing since it will show the Democrats. You wanna break the wall? This is what you’ll have to go through

2019-04-08 18:33:30 UTC  

@mattforney the entire Ashkenazi group wants him out

2019-04-08 18:33:39 UTC  

why tho

2019-04-08 18:34:06 UTC  

@Deleted User he’s a misfit. I think he’s ashkenazem but is right wing

2019-04-08 18:34:12 UTC  

the Internationalist Jews bought their own bullshit about ethnonationalism being bad

2019-04-08 18:34:29 UTC  

Mizrahi and Sephardics vote right wing usually p

2019-04-08 18:34:29 UTC  

polls show that a majority of young American Jews are either indifferent to Israel or pro-Palestinian

2019-04-08 18:34:44 UTC  

racial minorities are also anti-Israel (see: Ilhan Omar)

2019-04-08 18:35:00 UTC  

the left sees Israel as a white supremacist colonial state

2019-04-08 18:35:16 UTC  

this is why they have been pushing for Jewish Day Schools recently
