No shock here. A majority of the world is on a stance of “anything/anyone against the state of Israel is antisemitism”. This is such a false equivalency. Just because something/someone is against what the government of Israel, does not mean it/they are hateful towards the Jewish people. Hell, making such an equivalency is placing actually Jewish people in an unintended hate group.

    Hey, please remove the language "totalitarian" and be more specific with your language. We're finding a lot of holocaust trivialization recently and words like "totalitarian" and "authoritarian" can be used to blur the line

    Additional context located under Leading Role of Communist Party. I would argue that one party/the federal government having full constitutional control over who's on the ballet leans more Authoritarian than Democratic.

    I feel like reading through that just makes it feel like the USSR was more democratic back then than we are now.

    I definitely can't argue with the world's constant decline towards fascism and authoritarianism. Though that doesn't discount the authoritarian tendencies that existed in the Soviet Union that stop it from qualifying as a true democracy.

    I think it came closer to democracy as an ideal than any capitalist one tbh, especially before destalinization and the entrenchment of the bureaucracy that came with it.

    Also the world isn't sliding toward fascism, that is just the US led imperial core as their power over the rest of the world slips. Plenty of places are freeing themselves right now, look to the west African confederation

    Majority of the government in the West. I am sure if you start reading news from arabic media you will see a completely different story.

    The problem is that international law is applied differently based on the country abusing it. And Israel is trying to shape the news perspective, by its bot army in English speaking of outlets and pushing hard a media campaign trying to discredit everyone who is not acting according to their interest.

    Their foreign minister is posting some despicable videos and trying to link Spain and Hamas and claim that Spain is complicit in war crimes is nothing but despicable and shows the morale of all their government.

    As I understand it, the prophecy is that when the state of Israel is fully unified once more, and the temple of Solomon is rebuilt, Jesus will return and the second battle of Armageddon will commence.

    End of the world, rapture of the believers into Heaven, the whole bit.
