It’s a half-pun about actual piracy. Not sure if illegal fishing is actually considered piracy, but that’s the idea.

Not quite. This has been a thing since before the Holocaust, and holocaust victims are actually targets of discrimination in Israel.
Egypt is a strong supporter of the Palestinians
Funniest joke I’ve seen today.
So of course in the end it should come down to what you want to do and where you see yourself living a happier life, and not what people on the internet think you should do. However, purely from a “making the world a better place” perspective, I’d recommend not returning. I get the idea of trying to change society from within, but frankly I think Israel in its current state is beyond saving. The sense of invincibility, among other issues, is too much for simple activism to fix; the country as a whole needs the Nazi Germay treatment (the de-Nazification part, not the war part). At least by not being in Israel you make sure your tax money and children aren’t used in genocide.
I repeat, do what you feel is best for you, but to directly answer your question your absence does more to weaken the Israeli Apartheid apparatus than your presence. Do vote though; definitely vote.
Will Hamas stop if Isreal does?
If Israel stops its apartheid and ethnic cleansing? Certainly.
Not would. Remember when the ICC tried to investigate US war crimes in Afghanistan?
And no mention of Israel. Classic.
Fuck me the USA has turned into Russia,
Always has been. There’s a reason all meaningful Israel-related UN resolutions are 50+ years old.
Oh they’re gonna sanction people. I thought this was a bigger deal, but I guess it’s a nothing-ish burger.
I love this meme.
I mean yes but it’s diminishing returns. The rule kind of falls apart at these numbers.
As an Egyptian, yes.
car makers just jack up their prices so they make more off the subsidy
Exactly.
Really we should be subsidizing EVs from our own manufacturers.
You are. Still not doing much to corporate greed.
I mean no, but the people with meteorology degrees are probably not gonna be working a job where the number one requirement is to be hot (and not, y’know, have a meteorology degree).
Not that I doubt it, but what did the US do to Canada?
IKFR? If America wants to lose India to China then go the fuck ahead.
Okay good point about the threat WWII Japan posed but you’re going too far in the other direction. When asked about going to war with America admiral Yamamoto said what amounts to “this is a bad idea don’t”. Now part of their failure definitely lies in poor leadership, and I can see the idea that if they’d concentrated on America instead of opening a war on three (two and a half?) fronts they might’ve made significant gains until America’s industry caught up, but they simply didn’t have the industrial base to keep the US down. The US also has very good natural defenses that you forgot to take into account. Remember: Their ships and airplanes were all handmade.
Israel’s needs are a sliver of what Russia uses in Ukraine.
Russia has been importing weapons from North Korea, and Israel uses absolutely ridiculous amounts of ammunition for their size.
I love me some karma.
