Russia perhaps? Israel and the US are also strong contenders though.

Certainly not a Bavarian Swabian.

But tbh Bavaria should be split up anyway. Bavarian Swabia should go to BW, Franconia should be its own state and Old Bavaria should be split into occupation zones.

Yeah, I've seen that fucker way too often on Lemmy already.

It's always just:

In Japan, people do bad thing.

In USA, people are polite, helpful, accommodating, and friendly.

It's literally just nationalism designed to stroke US-American's ego of how great their society is.

First article:

He names those states: “One is China. And the other is Qatar. They are organizing an attack on Israel… [through] the social media of the Western world and the United States."

No sanctions.

Israeli importers say that Chinese suppliers have begun bureaucratic practices without announcing sanctions against Israel and are required to fill out many forms.

China apparently added bureaucratic hurdles to Israel but there is no refusal to sell any dual use goods. I haven't found any other sources mention this other than this random Hebrew newspaper by the way, so the extent of these hurdles isn't even clear, nor is it known whether these hurdles are still present. Barely sanctions.

The third source is your average noncommittal marketing. Words are irrelevant if there are no actions to back them up. Same with UN decisions - you can vote 100 million times to condemn Israel but it doesn't change anything if you don't commit to actually doing something. It's "thoughts and prayers" in response to a genocide, I'm sure Palestinians are satisfied.

And China being one of the largest Israeli trade partners means they have a lot of leverage, even more so than the UK. Which makes it ever more so pathetic they aren't doing anything.

This is the standard in countries with road safety laws. The first and only truck from an EU country I could find from a 1 minute long image search that lacked those guards was this one:

How many Israeli companies has China sanctioned btw? Not a single one despote being Israel's second biggest export market? What a surprise!

Even the UK has done more to sanction Israel. The bar is in hell and China manages to still go below.

Trans people must be visiting weird urologists

It's like 25€ in Pfand (counted till 50 before arriving at the pile), who wouldn't steal it?

Alas there is no Pfand symbol :(

Non-existance implies being easy

Yeah, the punishmentd does scale up the more you have committed a crime before being caught. But it still cannot exceed the maximum specified in the law.

The US already has a policy that only prohibits ingredients proven to cause harm.

Compare that to the EU where ingredients must be proven safe before being permitted.

It's why most liquid smoke flavorings were recently banned in the EU as they couldn't rule out having a genotoxic effect. In the US they are all available still as far as I know.

The US is an outlier, most countries cannot do this. Because otherwise you could be jailed for years if you shoplift ten times or something.

The upper limit is usually only used for sentencing if it's a repeat offender or if occured multiple times.
