I legit can’t tell if this is sarcasm.

Countries, as a rule, don’t have a right to exist. People have a right to self-determination. These are different things. That said, Israel is fundamentally an Apartheid state. If Israel stopped being an Apartheid state it’d stop being Israel. And if a state needs to treat half the people in it as second class citizens to exist then it can go die in a ditch.
Maintaining that an Apartheid state has the right to keep being an Apartheid state is very Nazi-like.
denying Israel’s right to exist counts as antisemitism
It’s not. Israel is an Apartheid state and can’t exist as anything but an Apartheid state.
Is there something on the ground that is not apparent in the media our Egyptian diaspora?
Not really; it’s just that I doubt the army will give up power peacefully. Hence civil war or violent revolution. And in both cases it wouldn’t be strange if Israel decided to expand into Sinai during the chaos.
Nope I just misremembered.
You only say that because you don’t know how Egypt is looking like right now. Egypt’s economy is the worst it’s ever been in decades because of mismanagement, and it’s not getting better. We’re seeing the government build new bridges and cities using our tax pounds while people can’t buy food. They’re borrowing money at absurd rates to try to keep the whole thing from collapsing and paying back by selling the counter piecemeal to gulf states while refusing to actually fix anything. People keep having to find places to cut back on food and other essentials just so they don’t starve. We can’t get enough fuel for the country so blackouts have been going on for a while and it’s killing newborns in hospitals. Hell, a guy I know had a 9-hour long blackout recently.
Egypt’s economy is in free fall right now and there’s not much more room for falling before people starve. Some kind of revolution is going to happen within the next few decades (because people don’t like to die of starvation) and you know what happens when the people try taking back control from a military dictatorship. Where exactly it’ll be on the Frenchrevolution-Syrian civil war (which started because the Syrian government refused to give up its power) spectrum I don’t know, but given what I’ve seen from other examples in the region and the behavior of Egypt’s government I am very much not optimistic.
That wasn’t my intention. The ICC is actually called a colonialist tool and criticized for only going after nations opposed to Western interests. If they go after Russia but not Israel that pretty much confirms the accusations are true, is what I wanted to say.
Okay not saying they don’t deserve the warrants, but after this if they don’t issue one for Netanyahu nobody will take them seriously ever again.
I mean the Bible is like that too and fundamentalist Christians exist no?
Lemme just grab the world’s smallest piano.
BDS has a list of companies to, well, boycott, divest and sanction so you might wanna look at that.
I mean okay. I’m not sure how true that is, but what I’m trying to say isn’t “fuck Biden”; it’s “Netanyahu is making shit up”.
Uh… Egypt did not collapse in 2011. That was a regime change. I’m talking about a Libya or Syria-style failure to keep existing as a sovereign state.
He paused a shipment. Overall flow of weapons from the US to Israel hasn’t changed.
Huh? Are we having the same conversation?
But Biden has slowed weapon shipments to Israel
He hasn’t. Netanyahu is making up shit because he can.
Uh… I think you missed the part that said “when Egypt inevitably collapses”.
I hope they don’t learn anything from this. The US military should just get the fuck out of the Middle East.
Correction: There was never any hope for a peaceful two state solution before or after his term.
