  • I have a question but I don’t want to start a new thread so here: (Israel & politics related)

    Why can’t Israel stop doing the genocide?

    Clearly it’s not going well. It’s destroying their image not just in the west asia region, but also the entire globe. Being against Isn’treal is becoming more mainstream than ever. And they are paying a lot in (American) resources and lives.

    Like it’s not like they can’t stop because they are in a war or something. At any moment, they can just turn around and say “we have achieved everything we wanted, war’s over”. There are no foreign occupiers in Israel except the Israelis. The whole 12 day Iran war could’ve been avoided entirely if they just didn’t bomb Iran out of nowhere.

    Why? Why can’t they just stop? Why do they feel the need to keep going?

    The only theory that makes sense is that the Israeli society is so twisted, they are basically doing blood for the blood gods now. But I don’t want to believe that, I believe in every country being rational actors. I’ve seen the harm of western media characterizing whole countries as “evil” or “hate us for our freedoms”, I don’t want to do the same. I feel like I must’ve been missing a critical piece of the puzzle here. What am I missing?





  • This visa things has been going on for a few years now.

    Used to familiar with a biotech company in china, they were working with an american firm to do testing and needed to send about 30 employees over. Despite having invitations from the american company and all documents in order, around half of them got rejected with no stated reason. (Apparently the policy is that they do not need to give a reason to reject visa) Almost like they needed to hit a certain rejection quota.

    I’ve visited a handful of countries myself. US, by a long shot, is the hardest to get a visa from. Even with a visa, they had the most strict customs to pass through, treating everyone as a possible threat/illegal migration risk. And I’ve been led to a separate room and been told to wait more than once.(I’m probably on a list or something) Love the place but I’m not planning on visiting any time soon.
