O esforço para hasbara justificar a proibição da polícia israelense a presença do patriarca cristão em Jerusalem foi atropelada pela mudança de Nethanyahu ao ver a erosão de apoio entre aliados cristãos. Como os hasbarentos saem dessa? ridículos esses agentes de propaganda

Whenever I begin to question Sensei Fukuyama’s thesis, I come across something, like this video, that reminds me just how total the cultural victory of liberalism was at the end of the Cold War.
Even explicitly anti-liberal movements now seek legitimacy through liberal concepts. Islamists may reject secularism, pluralism, and individual autonomy in substance, but they frame their struggle in the language of freedom, rights, citizenship, dignity, and popular sovereignty. In other words, they have abandoned the pre-modern Islamic world of ideas and its classical political vocabulary. They now operate, perhaps unknowingly, within a fully modern moral universe whose dominant legitimating language is unmistakably liberal.
There is no going back to a pre-modern, pre-liberal world. Liberal conceptions are now the yardstick by which all ideologies are measured, and Islamists know that if their project of “Islamic freedom” fails, the people - who also embrace this liberal vocabulary - will take to the streets and demand their “rights” as “citizens.” It would take a systemic collapse on the scale of the fall of the Roman Empire in Western Europe, or even the Bronze Age collapse, to allow the reinvention of an authentically Islamic political and moral order.
And this, my friends, is what a total Fukuyama victory looks like. His central argument, after all, was that liberalism represents an endpoint in political evolution, and that no rival philosophy or ideology would generate a more universally compelling language of political legitimacy. Time and again, he has been proven absolutely correct on that point.

Syria’s jihadis hold a rally waving the jihadi Al-Qaeda flag and shouting that they don’t want “secular freedom” they want “Islamic freedom.” I’ll leave this here for @USAMBTurkiye Tom Barrack. Everything that happens in Syria is on him.

Really still in search of the sephardic glory. I still plan to become a Jewess, im just really not into the ashkenazi rites at all.
And sorry .... black ashkenazim are goofy..
I can tell theres a great deal of discomfort and forced identity there.
Watching them absorb near constant racism and try to play it off is not what spirituality gives....
To be fair,
Sephradism does feel like something within me, and doesnt feel like anything European or Yiddish.
Feels very like A Night In Tunisia.
It feels like Egypt.
It feels like Jazz
It feels like Morrocco
It Feels like Nina Simone.
It feels kinda Coptic.
What I am connecting to seriously feels beyond "The Jews"
It feels like Israel a bit, but alot more like Gibraltar.
