No, but Ben Gurion absolutely was.

Uh… The Nakba was committed by secular atheists. Stop trying to pin this on religion.

America’s actions are relatively fresh,

At the risk of being annoying as shit, that is not true. The only fresh part is that Europeans and/or white people are feeling a small part of the heat too.

the Republicans who are presently in charge also didn’t get rid of the filibuster to end the shutdown like Trump asked them to.

Yes, because the Democrats folded.

The legislative branch is in a state of permanent deadlock,

Intentional permanent deadlock. There’s a reason Democrats refuse to get rid of the filibuster.

I’ve seen this anime before.

We don’t summarily execute people at the president’s say.

Yeah… no.

Man this is fucking stupid.

Did y’all not learn anything from the War on Terror? This shit does not work. Western Germany wasn’t “rehabilitated” by the Allied occupation, but by decades of action post-occupation. The Allied occupation was perfectly content to coopt Nazis into its anti-Soviet bloc.

And while Democrats had solid policies and economic plans

Liberal detected, opinion rejected.

More seriously, while the overall point is accurate I really don’t like how this article whitewashes the Democratic Party.

Guess again.

Because why not? Seriously that’s it.

I don’t know if they do, but they don’t care. Israel, despite how much it markets itself as such, is not a nation of Holocaust survivors.

You’re being downvoted because The Independent is a news outlet, not a country.

Just checked and I’ve got 24 tabs open right now. Basically in my case I have a list of things I’d want to do at any given moment (chat on Whatsapp, watch anime, learn Chinese, etc), so each one gets its own tab group with things I’d usually want for the thing in question easily accessible. For example in my anime tab group I have My Anime List, two tabs with different anime and Reddit discussion threads. Also in my defense I’m looking for an oven right now so that’s inflating my tab numbers a little.

Yeah because those aren’t Western.

Yeah that’s fair, though I do have to note that other than Yom Kippur in none of Israel’s past conflicts was it seriously outnumbered. That’s the image they like to sell, and intuitively it feels like it should be true, but it’s really not. Israel has always been good at raising massive armies relative to their population, and for instance surprisingly way outnumbered their enemies in 1948. Again not contesting your point; I agree that they were much more competent in the past.

Not disagreeing, but “at this point” implies they were ever anything else.

I’m no fan of the Muslim Brotherhood, but yeah “terrorist organization” is nuts. If this word ever had meaning (it didn’t), it sure as hell doesn’t now.
