    They’re already a genocidal apartheid state; unrepentant fascist dictatorship seems like an inevitable step, really.

    A minority group (they are ~4.5% of the population) got almost complete control of the Knesset due to a combination of stupid vote-rounding method, egoistic politicians and a sad state of affairs in our biggest party.

    This small minority is composed of Jew-Nazis, they want to remove any non-Jewish from Israel, be it by them walking or killing them, they regularly go for pogroms in the Palestinians. For the atheistic Jews they plan concentration camps (the exact wording their rabbis signed on!).

    The majority of Israelis are against that, so we currently see an unprecedented demonstrations in Israel.

    Both the army and the economy are dependent on the parts of the population that are against this shit. For example, the high-tech sector is starting to recover in the US and EU (that much as it exists there), in Israel it continues to crash. It came out of IDF, mostly from IAF, that it capabilities are already reduced. For example, Hezbollah settled two tents inside Israel. If they tried that before the current shit-storm, they would have instantly gotten blown up. Instead, Israel asked nicely through political channels that the tents will be removed.

    If the fucktards in the government will pass those laws Israel will implode, I think this implosion can take one of two directions:

    • The minority that took over will be kicked out of power, for example by the majority deciding to restart the legal framework of Israel. Bringing the economy to a stand-still to crash the government, etc
    • Major players in the economy and defense sector will leave Israel leading to it slow collapse. A faster collapse will happen if the nukes will be taken by the USA.

    I feel like trying to do this in a country where 2-3 years of military service and training is a requirement for all adults shows a lack of forethought. This seems like a society where you’re going to want to try real real hard to keep the people content.

      Great point, after all we are all familiar with the historical example of the Hitler Youth overthrowing the government in Nazi Germany.

      Seems that way, but keep in mind that military service brings with it a military mindset of heirarchy. With everyone being primed to accept a “this person is my superior,” falling back on taking orders is a lot more palatable.

      Well before they were an apartheid ethnostate, sort of like America used to be. Democratic, kinda, but only for some.

      I guess this is worse?

    Israel has needed an international peacekeeping force for generations. I am tired of every 2 bit Islamic dictator pointing to Israel and using the IDF or the state itself as a distraction from their own countries problems. Move the settlers behind the giant-ass wall, man the wall with someone trained not to shot rock throwing kids, man the boarder with people that don’t think allowing Iranian rockets to be imported will help out there Knesset reelection campaign, and just let the conflict die down for a couple decades.
