@oteycoueye Did you measure their cranial indexes? I suspect if you check the slope of the forehead, you will find they share more DNA with the Turkic marauders of the Khazar Khaganate than any Gaon of Vilna. The urge to raid your liquor cabinet is encoded in the haplogroup.
English
@RobBaum72 No, unfortunately, from various Hasiduyot, and hardcore Litvaks and Harrys from New Jersey.
English
Wave of unpleasant Haredi bochurim Shabbat guests going on for months. Several years ago, it was all Elite Haredi Capital kids, pleasant and interesting to host. Now, it's these dead eyed tards looking for a place away from Society to go get wasted. Ads these COVID aftereffects?

לכל ראש ממשלת ישראל שכבר נפטר, יש מקומות (רחובות, כיכרים וכו') שנקראו על שמם. האם יש ראש ממשלה לשעבר שעדיין בחיים, וגם אחרי מותו שום מקום לא ייקרא על שמם?
עברית
You've got to sympathize with the Yekkes (and the old school Sepharadim.) They had a great thing going-their businesses, their slave ships, their newspapers-their genteel assimilation racket. And then a couple of million of their Hasidic and Litvak cousins showed up-"hi!"

@oteycoueye Generally true, but there are some exceptions, like the following Hasidic Rebbes:

This, combined with increased life expectancy, has resulted in the Distributed Gerontocracy that runs Haredi society. Big, Explicit Decisions are made either by old men or middle aged men speaking in the name of old men and making the sorts of decisions those old men would make.
PolicyRespecter@oteycoueye
Ironically, the ONLY Jewish leaders whose powers increased as they entered middle and old age were the Orthodox!

@HeTows @tamritzblog Israel has a secular right, just not Ashkenazi-sabra-led. Yisrael Beiteinu is hawkish, secular, anti-Haredi, rooted in FSU immigrants (many Ashkenazi, not sabra) & long campaigned as "the secular right", closest structural analog to EU secular nativism, only immigrant-backed.
English
A year ago, @tamritzblog asked an interesting question on his blog: why is there no significant far-right force in Israel backed primarily by a secular Ashkenazi Jewish demographic? This question may strike some as weird, so I'll try to spell it out. /1 tamritz.wordpress.com/2024/07/21/smo…

@BirthGauge @MoreBirths Is it (at least partially) because very low TFR migrant groups like East Asians, tend to live in the inner city?
English
@MoreBirths Australia has probably the largest contrast of TFRs between the inner city and suburbs in the world.

Detailed new fertility maps of Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, and Brisbane show how profoundly housing type and density impact birthrates.
We find healthy fertility in suburbs with single-family homes but South Korean fertility levels in urban cores dominated by apartment towers. 1/4
World Demographics@WDemograph73569
(1/6) Fertility Rate of Australia by State in 2023. Overall, the fertility rate of Australia ranged from a low of 1.31 in the Capital territory to a high of 1.57 in Western Australia.

@oteycoueye They use TikTok & Facebook as well (in other words, their information diet isn't that different), they're just the conveyors of the "Israeli periphery" version of it, for their respective audience.
English
I can't tell whether this is horseshoe theory in action or a demonstration of how every goy health trend like Peating was independently invented by rabbis from Dimona.

@nntaleb Can you provide a single metric, be it in elite scientific output, technological innovation, wildlife conservation, agricultural productivity or economic growth, on which a region clearly benefits more from being populated by Bedouins & Muslim peasants (Fellahin) than by Jews?
English
I wonder by what logical hallucination a land hungry settler colonial/Apartheid state (vs resistant population) would be on the "right side" of history.
But some genuinely believe it.
Israel Strong! 💪 🇮🇱@Joshhasten
@BobbyVylan You're on the wrong side of history. That will be your legacy.

@DanielBachmat @tamritzblog 2/2 & a "siege" would make it logistically harder to achieve different strategic goals in the journey towards their final target, destroying their enemy, not easier.
English
@DanielBachmat @tamritzblog 1/2 Hamas is just the political entity which ended up being the current dominant political representation of the Palestinians, in other words, its ethos & goals are those of the majority of the people it represents (some are more hawkish than Hamas, others are less)...

מצאנו את האשם ל-7.10 מפרספקטיבת שמאל: דאגנו יותר מדי לביוב של עזה. אי אפשר היה להאמין שמחלת הנפש הזו קיימת עד שנתקלים בה.
Daniel Bachmat@DanielBachmat
ביקשו שארחיב: המצור על עזה אטם את עזה מפני העולם החיצון החל מ-2007. הוא הקל על הפיכת חמאס לשליט הכולל שאחראי על כל היבט ברצועה. הוא מנע יציאה של אוכלוסייה בשגרה ובעיקר במלחמה והפך את ישראל לאחראית הבלעדית למצב ההומנטירי ברצועה. אלו המכשלות הגדולות ביותר של ישראל במימוש מדיניותה כיום. המצור גם מנע (במידה מוגבלת) כניסה של נשק מתקדם לרצועה. זה יתרון קטן ביחס לחסרונות. מכיוון שבניגוד לבעיות שהמצור יצר, דווקא עם בעיית הנשק המתקדם צה״ל יודע להתמודד היטב (כפי שהמחיש מול חיזבאללה).

@DanielBachmat @tamritzblog When a population shares a common religion (most of it), ethnicity, culture & a deep-seated animosity, any autonomy granted, absent suppression of their ethnic grievances, will culminate in political entities fixated on destroying their mythic foe, it's that simple.

@Yakovolf The identity of Religious Zionists & many secular Israelis requires at least some degree of sovereignty, without it, they'd cease to exist, so for them it's an existential matter to defend it, while Haredim are still in the galut & could have communities around the world.

@oteycoueye Some of them are: "Latte-Day Saints", they believe that if only we had the right leadership & it provided them with enough "socioeconomic rewards", they'd be too fat & lazy to "resist", & we would be free to live the "last men" life to the fullest.
English
The latest Israeli left wing slur against the right is that they're "death eaters" (from Harry Potter):
אוכלי המוות
3000 years of Jewish literary tradition, and this and Handmaid's Tale references is what they come up with.
Too cringe to be allowed to live.

@HeTows @he8fgEe71QYzSXm The question is, what does it mean to be "cool" in today's Western World & is it a positive or a negative sign?
English
שלא יהיה צל של ספק, אנחנו כבר לא נהיה מגניבים, הסיפור שלנו עם מגניבות נגמר, זה מה שבאמת שורף בטוסיק של השמאל שכל כך נואש להיות מגניב, אפשר להתנחם בזה שכרגע במערב להיות מגניב, זה לזרז את ההכחדה שלך

This is why they’re panicking. Fontaines D.C., the coolest band of the moment, are not afraid.

@HeTows @thobbesian The relative ease of executing a terror attack when you're that close to someone, would deem it inevitable unless an enemy country will manage to kill dozens at that time, but I do think that in absolute numbers it'll decline (the security apparatus will get even more competent)
English
Here’s a bold prediction for how much longer the Israel-Iran war will last. My estimate is: around another month. After this time, there will be a ceasefire and negotiations for a nuclear deal more favorable to Israel. Here’s my reasoning behind this. /1
English
@HeTows @thobbesian Would it be reasonable to assume that even ten years from now, the majority of annual terror related deaths will still be caused by Arabs from Israel, the West Bank, & the Gaza Strip, perhaps even more so in percentage terms than today?
English
@thobbesian @RobBaum72 All true. But better safe than sorry.
