What coup are you referring to?

I have never heard of this, and hours of research turned up nothing.

Sorry, but events which happened right after the founding of the country don’t count IMO - the whole area was in chaos and many dumb decisions were made (talking about the Ben Dunkleman case).

“Breaking the Silence” have been caught lying many times - even known biased publications like Haaretz have called them liars.

Elor Azaria, a soldier which killed an incapacitated terrorist a few years ago, claimed that his commander told him to do it. He went to jail anyway.

It’s not a myth, this is fucking drilled into our heads during bootcamp.

The only source I could find for something like this were instances where Israeli authorities withheld taxes collected on behalf of the PA due to debts incurred by the PA to the Israeli Electric Corporation.

They don’t let them vote because they’re not citizens. You should ask the PA to let them vote.

Then why did they leave?

[-] dsemy@vlemmy.net 0 points 1 year ago

What did they get?

[-] dsemy@vlemmy.net 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah cause that’s exactly what happened in Afghanistan and Vietnam.

Why would the US support this? In fact, the US has been pretty vocal about its opposition to these developments. Regardless of this though, you greatly over estimate the influence of American politics on internal affairs in Israel.

Also, nobody gives a shit about what the UK supports lol.

I know he’s popular in the west because he is anti-Putin, but he is a piece of shit.

Btw, I know Russian, and I can confirm the title of the linked video is accurate.

Israel won’t become a dictatorship.

Every week hundreds of thousands of Israeli Jews protest these changes (in a country less than 10 million people).

They have a civil war waiting for them if they go too far - and don’t forget that most of these protesters served in the military.

You don’t know shit about Israel.

I have lived in Israel my entire life, and have served for 3 years in the IDF.

People don’t just follow orders blindly - in fact, in the IDF, if you receive an extreme order from your superior (for example, if you’re told to harm an innocent person), you WILL go to prison if you follow that order, and it is your obligation to refuse it.

Not to mention the fact the the culture in Israel is extremely informal and lax. Israelis take pride in not following the rules.

Israelis in general are extremely distrusting of authority (think about it - Jews have been suffering because of it for 2000 years).

This has been my setup for the last few months.

The animated wallpapers are displayed by Paperview (+ my pull request so it could be made to work with picom). I took gifs from various sources, converted them to collections of BMP files with ffmpeg, removed artist signatures (sorry) by copying parts of the images over themselves with ImageMagick, and integer scaled them if necessary.

Since I mostly live in Emacs (config), system information is shown in its tab bar instead of the top panel (which is tint2). All the icons in the tab bar are simple XBM icons I made, and some (like the volume icon) actually change dynamically. The current playing song description resizes according to the space left in the tab bar, and cycles if necessary.

CWM is also customized to add click-to-focus (but not raise) and remove some stuff I don't like.

Theme switching is handled by a hacky Perl script, which utilizes xsettingsd to switch the GTK theme and Qt5CT to change the Qt theme. I won't share it since it is extremely specific to my setup (and it's the first Perl script I ever wrote so it probably sucks).

The open Mumble window is only there to demonstrate Qt theme switching (which is pretty slow unfortunately).

I use Papirus icons, Posy cursor icons, the dark theme that comes with Qt5CT and Adwaita, and a combination of PragmataPro, Iosevka and Noto as my fonts.

My dotfiles are in a private repo since they contain a some sensitive information, sorry.

And yes, I recorded this at 3 AM.
