I love me some karma.

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

Why did they even do that?

Apparently it’s the former. Their prosecution rate is 8% apparently according to Wikipedia, because they’re too understaffed to deal with cases that can go either way. They also have a false confession problem, but that’s not what’s getting them to that rate.

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.

Amazing. Depressing, but amazing.

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.

Pretty sure nobody cares, but man as a third world country guy it feels weird as fuck to see these reasonable-looking numbers only to multiply by 50 and get a heart attack.

I mean yes but it’s diminishing returns. The rule kind of falls apart at these numbers.

As an Egyptian, yes.

So nothing about the claim Biden just made?

Then where’s the evidence? Biden lost his credibility the moment he said he saw pictures of the 40 dead babies.

I’ve never used a Mac but my experience with iPhones and iPads (not mine) has convinced me to never touch anything Apple makes. The requirement of iTunes to send files between an iPhone and a PC is, for example, just ridiculous.
