    I don’t doubt that Israel is backsliding on women’s rights, but this “Women, Peace and Security Index” has got to be bullshit.

    They have a bunch of parameters that try to capture the situation of women, and I’m sure that can be useful to gauge which way the wind is blowing for a single country, but it gets kinda ridiculous when Saudi Arabia gets a much better score than Turkey, China, India, Brazil, Iran, and Mexico.

    Just a reminder that women were not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia until 2018.

      You’re not calling Judaism a major religion are you?

      Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, have billions of followers each. Judaism has a few million.

        It has influence disproportionate to the number of followers. (But Hinduism and Buddhism should be ahead of it anyway, this is a very Western perspective)

      I don’t know that I’d include judaism on a list of “three major religions.” Hinduism and buddhism have much better claims on being in the top three.

    Hacker ticked off a list of historical accomplishments for women’s equality in Israel: the 1951 Equal Rights for Women Law, considered revolutionary at the time; Golda Meir serving as one of the first female leaders in the world in 1969; the military’s mandatory conscription of women.

    Yeah, cause socialist zionists dominated political power during that period. As racist as they were towards Palestinians, equality was increasing. That’s not the ideological reality today.

    Once they’ve killed all the Palestinians and journalists, the IDF will need someone new to shoot

      You joke but this is why fascism isn’t sustainable. You always need a scapegoat and eventually your gonna run out of them as you make your population more and more uniform.

      When they’re done raping all the women and young girls of Palestine, they’ll turn their rape spree onto Israeli women and young girls.

      I wonder how all these pick me bitches openly supporting the IDF will twist the narrative for it.

      I’m sure they’re efficient enough that they can start shooting new groups before they’re completely finished the previous groups.

    The sky is blue, water makes things wet, blood is red.

    Just saying things that are obvious, don’t mind me.

        There is the whole myth that ancient people couldn’t see the colour blue. But that was because they didn’t have a distinct word for it that didn’t include other shades like purple.

          I think, technically speaking due to Rayleigh Scattering and the nature of our sun, the sky wouldn’t be blue if it weren’t for the composition of our atmosphere — if I’m remembering correctly. So the sky could potentially be a different color with a different atmosphere, or at least we would perceive it that way (we are also sensitive to the color blue, so it is easier to see).

          Idk, this has led to many more questions than I anticipated. I guess if you’re very strict about the light not being a part of the atmosphere due to scattering then it is not blue. Other factors like clouds, fog, smog, obviously play a part.
