Do Israeli Politicians' adult children get conscripted just like the average adult Israeli citizen as part of mandatory service?
  • In theory. In practice, I doubt it.

    The Israeli parliament consists of 120 politicians. Their children would need:

    • to not be Haredi, which are exempt from service
    • to be between the ages of 18-21, which is when their mandatory service runs
    • to serve in combat units

    Chances are only a few of them answer this criteria (even less considering the extremist portion of this specific government which didn't serve, and their children likely don't serve either), and even they are likely not above pulling strings to get them out of danger. Except for that politician you talked about, apparently.

  • What’s The Strangest Thing You Do
  • No, I actually have triple-ply. I developed a stupid habit of folding multiple papers and using them together, so I wipe with like 9 layers at a time. It helps the paper not break up even being wet, but wastes a lot more overall.

  • What’s The Strangest Thing You Do
  • I, uh... I shave hair like 5 cm around my bumhole. Paired with a bidet, you wouldn't guess how much easier it made it to wipe. I used to use 30-50 squares of toilet paper per wiping session, today I can manage with just 10

  • How do you feel about financing a genocide?
  • Ah, I see. No, they're not that stupid. Even if nuking Gaza didn't affect them because of proximity, they wouldn't. They rely on American help too much, and struggle as they do with international forces. Nuking Gaza would leave them ostricized and heavily sanctioned, if not invaded.

  • How do you feel about financing a genocide?
  • I have so much to say over this comment. I'll try to be concise.

    remove the blockade on Gaza, give everyone there citizenship and become a secular state

    • Israel doesn't trust Hamas. The blockade, which, mind you, is also enforced by Egypt, is meant to limit the group's ability to procure weapons. Water, food, fuel and other necessities are usually provided by both Israel and international help.
    • Neither Gazans want Israeli citizenship, nor Israel wants Gazans to be its citizens.
    • Religious and secular political forces quarrel in Israel daily. It can't just "become" secular. A big portion of Israelis don't want it to.

    When has Israel not leveled civilian buildings? Have you not seen charts comparing Israeli casualties to Palestinian ones?

    • If not for Iron Dome, Israeli casualties would be way higher.
    • Any civilian casualties are to be condemned. Yet, you must remember that Hamas likes to base itself under hospitals, schools, mosques. Not only that, but Gaza is also very densly populated. They're some 2.5 million people over 365km squared. It's very difficult to carry out any strikes without damaging hundreds of people. Yet, in the 2021 conflict, only 260 Gazans died as a result of strikes, despite hundreds if not thousands of shellings. Israel claims that at least 200 of those were militians. If that is not surgical, I don't know what is.

    I think Palestinians should be the ones who should be angry for the way Israel has treated them since inception.

    Read a little about the history of the conflict, as well as about peace talks and different offers that Israel made.

  • How do you feel about financing a genocide?
  • I don't know, what does it matter? They don't even acknowledge it, nevermind about using it. The only instance in which they might use their nukes is the Samson Option, which looks like something any country would do.

  • How do you feel about financing a genocide?
  • The only thing I'm dissatisfied with is their free hand with bombing civilians along with military targets. I can understand that Israel is angry, and rightfully so, but they fancy themselves a western country, being better than terrorist Hamas. They can't let their anger take control. Bombing civilians undermines their legitimatecy, I think they should try and be as surgical as possible, like they did in previous rounds of fighting. Other than that, I fully support their desire to root out Hamas. Though conquering Gaza only has any merit to it if they decide to stay and govern it themselves, otherwise Hamas would just rise up again.

  • Sex education for REALLY promiscuos people?
  • I don't think there is any "government approved" educational material about the kind of activities you partake in. Look up something like "advanced bdsm guide" on Google and absorb as much information as possible. This kind of information is shared from experience only.

  • Translator app recommendations?

    I've been trying to move away from Google Translate, it's so good though. Any adequate open source alternatives? Bonus points if it has a phrasebook and if I can import mine from Google.
