More parallels between the political situation in Israel and the US — 10 Comments

  1. These are also similarities between Bibi and Trump. I don’t know if anything like DEI or CRT are operating in Israel. I know there are black Israelis but it would involve the Palestinians, I should think. A black Israeli woman was my dental hygienist for a few years, She was Ethiopian, rescued by Israelis as a child. She was raised in Israel with her large Ethiopian family. We had some discussion of race over the years. Like most black immigrants I have met, she is quite critical of US blacks. She lives in Irvine, a very upscale Orange County suburb with her white husband. They visit her parents in Israel every year. She has told me of “Hate Stares” from black women when she is out with her husband

  2. Looks like the days of generals like Moshe Dyan are long gone in Israel. Of course the likes of Patton probably don’t exist in the US Army today either.

  3. remember when there was a kerfluffle about that outfit black cube, because weinstein, well the most interesting part was it was staffed by anti likud and anti bibi officers like meir dagan of the mossad,

  4. One of the many curiosities regarding The French Revolution is that it created what we now think of as the ideological/political division of left and right, also being ultimately responsible (along with The Paris Commune) for creating the template used by subsequent radical revolutionary movements for the overthrowing of existing society and of traditional institutions and systems.

  5. well bds is the closest eliminationist project against israel, it has strong tentacles in europe,

  6. The French Revolution also topped off a lot of French science. Lavoisier, probably history’s greatest chemist, was Guillotined after the “judge” said Coffinhal: “La République n’a pas besoin de savants ni de chimistes; le cours de la justice ne peut être suspendu.” (“The Republic needs neither scholars nor chemists; the course of justice cannot be delayed.“)[33] The judge Coffinhal himself would be executed less than three months later, in the wake of the Thermidorian reaction.
    Then

    A year and a half after his execution, Lavoisier was completely exonerated by the French government. During the White Terror, his belongings were delivered to his widow. A brief note was included, reading “To the widow of Lavoisier, who was falsely convicted”.

    We are nearing that stage in our own history as science is ignored for dogma.

  7. The Israeli left is dancing on a razor. Our generals and the CIA are all incompetent but we are not surrounded by crazy enemies.

  8. Oh, for the times when military generals and corporate presidents were simple, evil men pursuing nationalism and capitalism at all costs and were unremittingly opposed to the left, which claimed it was looking out for the workers of the world.

    Heigh-ho!

    Halcyon days.

  9. but we are not surrounded by crazy enemies.
    ==
    The crazy enemies are Al Fatah, Hamas, the Hezbollah, the Alawite regime in Syria, and the Islamist regime in Iran. The first three are not (never were) military formidable. Syria is in ruins. That leaves Iran.

  10. I don’t get it. The Jews I have known were all smart, practical, and enterprising. After reading “The Haj” I thought most of the Jews in Israel were that way too.

    Well, Israel is no longer a poor country. They have become quite successful, and even though their neighbors are a constant threat, they seem to have evolved into a society much like ours. Too much time on their hands, too much intellectualizing, and too many people who want to believe in the myth of how great socialism is. It’s the curse of success, I guess.
