  • 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.










  • 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).

    How about China tracking where a dissenting Chinese ex-patriate is?

    Also, did you read your own fucking comment? You asked why my government needs help from corporations to sway public opinion - my response simply clarified that foreign governments do.

    Just look at what Russia did in 2016 as an example.

    dconf can also be configured with text files (with a format similar to ‘.ini’ files), although enabling this support isn’t trivial, and it’s not the most well documented feature.

    I also used to run a ”lobotomized” Gnome, but TBH I found it easier in the long run to start from a minimal base.
