Literally dying the same way that Putin joked about Prigozhin dying. Surely this should be the final evidence for Ukrainians and Russians being the exact same people only separated by a fake border.

The people on the ground are typically quite good at diagnosing symptoms. The actual cause of the symptoms is usually obfuscated enough that it takes a while to find, if it is ever found, which also means that getting people to agree to a solution is the hardest part.
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." - Arch-liberal John F. Kennedy in 1962.
Israel has refused time and time again to consider Palestinian lives, and has been tightening the screws on Gaza specifically ever since 2014. Israel is easily the party at fault, and everything with the way they treat Palestinians, there is no "nice" option, so the people who are sick and tired of being murdered seemingly for fun are going to fight back.
This is not particularly new. Le Pen is way more anti-islam/anti-Muslim than she is antisemitic. She kicked her own father out of Front National precisely because he could not stop himself from saying antisemitic things to every journalist that understood how to ask him (one of his worst ones was when he said something about how Vichy France did nothing bad/wrong, which most people took to mean a shouldershrug at the Holocaust)
Israeli exiles are going to become the American version of the Rhodesians who moved to Britain and became "when we"s. It's gonna be great to have to pretend to entertain them as they go on some of the most insane racist tirades you have ever heard.
This was what I was thinking of:

Apparently the Jefferson Qu'ran thing came later and he was sworn in using a "regular" Qu'ran.
Think that was Jefferson. Supposedly he was big into studying religions, and I seem to remember the first Muslim in Congress being sworn in on the same Quran.
I think some Greek comrades on this site pointed out that the Communist Party had to survice some pretty intense persecution during the millitary dictatorship days, and one of their strategies was to become incredibly insular, so most of the party leadership is supposedly pretty old, with almost all of our beloved boomer-brainworms. However supposedly the average age of the membership is dropping pretty rapidly, because the liberals and broader right is being perceived as looting the country on behalf of the EU/Germany.
FYI, the official line in Israel, from Netanyahu himself, is that Hitler got his inspiration for the Holocaust from the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. According to Bibi, Hitler changed from merely wanting to deport the jews from Europe (a goal Bibi agrees with) to wanting to exterminate them based on the advice from the Grand Mufti. As far as I know, no major pushback from either the international community (looking at you Germany) occured as a consequence of this little factoid.
Just a slight nit-pick. Kaare Dybvad Bek is the Minister for Foreigners and Integration (unofficially titled the racism minister), at least according to the official parliament website.
