It is so embarrassing how few people understand how our system of government works. The President is not a king.

This is very contested land. The people living there before them had just driven out the people living their before them who had also done the same and it goes on like that for a very long time. When you get back to it the best archaeological records say the earliest people there were likely one of the less popular sects of Jews.

If we're going by who was living there then everyone after the Jews is an occupier that denied today's Jews the land of their ancestors. But this is a bad argument.

The truth is in the details:

  1. Palestine and Israel both became states at the same time. There were both Arabs and Jews living there.
  2. Jews had purchased land from Arabs living there before Israel became a state.
  3. A lot of the land in the entire region was empty.
  4. The Ottomans kept very poor land ownership records. No one knows who exactly owned what.
  5. There were several wars started by Palestine against Israel where the Palestinians lost land.
  6. The Gaza strip and West Bank are undeniably Palestinian land. Israel needs to stop attacking the West Bank and taking its land.
  7. Gaza, Iran, and all the nationalist organizations and governments that believe in the genocide of Jews as the end goal here need to be removed by their people.

Yeah dude you've just solved the question of where to send 8m people of various means who are so widely discriminated against that they formed a state to defend their remaining people.

The answer of where to send them both is nowhere. It's to cease fire and everyone accepts a two state solution.

The uncomfortable question no one wants to answer.

Your inability to understand this situation explains why you're so angry about nonsense and unable to identify the politics of this meme.

The alternative is to do the action of not shopping at Amazon and then over time you'll learn how to shop without it.

You don't need to stop 100% immediately either but can wean yourself off of it.

I've not shopped on Amazon for like 5 years now. I just buy a lot less crap to be honest.

Absolutely. I can't demand corporations stop polluting and still do and buy things that create pollution.

Garbage clickbait nonsense

We'll leave that for you to figure out.

As a straight male I feel nothing looking at buff men and I can assure you it's the same for many other men. We truly don't feel much looking at them and they're not presented this way for our gaze.

About the only guys I know that do care are caring because they're insecure about their own bodies. Especially friends who exercise regularly to try to achieve these physiques.

It's okay to discuss men's issues without needing to whatabout them. Women's issues are also valid. This isn't a competition it's about media creating body dysmorphia in people.
