Israel was an insane ethnostate movement long before they even gained independence. There’s a reason why an overwhelming majority of former colonial states criticized Israel’s existence during its very inception.

Had the Zionist movement never taken off, Mandatory Palestine would probably have just become a regular old state like Lebanon or Jordan, Lebanon even has a pretty hefty Christian population right after Muslims, yet you don’t see them in some constant genocidal warfare campaign against each other.

Even weirder, Judaism itself was against the idea of forming a Jewish state without a Messiah for thousands of years, but at some point the radical branch became the overwhelming majority. Orthodox Jews are completely outnumbered by their Zionist counterparts which have transformed Judaism into a complete ethnic superiority cult akin to the Aryan superiority of the Nazis. You have to be born a Jew, you can’t just join because you want to (unless you dedicate your entire life into it, and still with caveats).

You’ll see thousands of comments like “Anti-Israel is not Antisemitism”, but at some point you need to address the elephant in the room. The current mainstream “Judaism” is very much an ethnic supremacy group by design. You can’t effectively criticize Israel without pointing out that its actions are overwhelmingly supported by their citizens because of their religion. Everything they do in their eyes is completely justified because they view everyone not in their ethnic group as subhuman.

This jackass thinks he accomplished the impossible by offering up PAF as a security service and inviting people to a hotel for negotiations which everyone already knew would fail.

He also spent his entire career shanking Pakistan and pummleing it into the ground in literally every aspect which includes hundreds of assasinations, hundreds of thousands of arrests, and Infinite torture to anyone who dares to speak the truth.

Oh and he promoted himself to the lifetime FM position for hiding in a bunker while the PAF did his job for him in 2025 with the skirmish with India.

Most ludicrous crap were their comments and cries of being “neutral” while hundreds of aircraft were actively taking off and landing from their US bases lol. Someone on lemmy was even claiming that Iran shouldn’t have attacked the GCC because they were “nominally neutral” lol.

Iran did what no country has effectively done before; they kicked the American empire in the nuts.

Every country and their mom that bought into the US hegemony is suddenly facing the sharp consequences of an adversary whose original “mistake” was overthrowing its own US backed regime.

Half the UN is calling Iran daily to put on a permanent ceasfire, but now they have zero reason to after crippling the petroleum supply line for only like four and a half weeks.

The temp ceasfire expires in 2 days, and I fully expect the strait to close again for a long time as the fighting resumes.

It’s a TikTok trend, Batman

Hey I just want to let you know that my user tag that I put on your account a couple of weeks ago continues to prove itself lol

Pakistan literally sold them the uranium enrichment technology bruh.

Even ignoring the ridiculousness of this comment, they got their jumpstart thanks to their immediate neighbor.

I’m starting to think this whole setup was just a move by Pakistan to get KSA to pay off their loans in exchange for PAF’s pilots and fighters lol: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/11/pakistan-sends-fighter-jets-to-saudi-arabia-amid-fragile-us-iran-ceasefire

Iran and US were already aware of eachother’s demands, I don’t think they had any high hopes for a successful negotiation, especially since the contending point was Israel following through.

They even made up marketing fanfare for it like this was some kinda special convention and not literally a heated negotiation over an active war: https://www.reddit.com/r/policymarket/comments/1shoo63/the_world_is_watching_and_the_world_is_hopeful/

I said it as a half joke, but I think Iran should swap their missile tech with NK for fuel enrichment.

NK, Iran, and Libya allegedly got their initial enrichment tech from Pakistan. Only NK was able to successfully follow through, and they too allegedly swapped their missile tech for the cylinders lol.

While I’m glad there seems to be genuine development behind these peace talks, I’m also personally disappointed watching Shebaz Sharif and Asmin Munir get recognized for doing literally anything of value.

The PM is from a long family history of corrupt PMLN members who got rich off of strangling Pakistan’s economy and investing their illegal earning abroad.

And the FM (Field Marshal, not foreign minister) promoted himself to Field Marshal after getting the PAF to do all the actual military work last year while he spent his resources cracking down on the public and placing his photo on every poster in the country.

Oh and he had a ton of people assasinated, jailed, tortured, “disappeared”, and “software updated” for supporting the previous PM who has been in jail since 2023 under falsified corruption charges.

They’re already acting like this is some grand slam success for doing nothing but forwarding messages between Iran and the USA, all whilst technically being at war with Afghanistan only because Trump demanded revenge after the Taliban refused to give access to the Bagram Airfield again.

I wonder if Iran played off of Trump’s ego and he promised he would get Israel on board, thereby not having to negotiate with Israel who would be the least likely to accept any terms beyond complete surrender.

Trump seems keen on wanting an out while declaring victory, especially after the special ops drop in Isfahan went wrong.

Israel will of course does not want any end to the war, so now it becomes a tussle on whether the US owns Israel or the Israel owns the US lol.

Field Marshal first.

PM gets whatever falls from the spit of his mouth

Who needs low latency amirite

Bans and heavy moderation of content.

I’m glad some of the reddit copy communities here like DankMemes died quickly because it was being run by the same loser mods from reddit.

So far I’ve only been banned from I think maybe 2 communities ever. The only one I remember is one of the NCD communities because the lead mod was a dumb dumb.

I don’t really care about complaints of specific instance users because unpopular opinions and comments deserve to be seen, otherwise you create an echo chamber.

So long as there is no brigading, it is much healthier to see everyone’s input.

Also I hope the r/Chodi crowd never finds lemmy lol.

I wonder how badly this could have gone had Iran’s military been at their prime.

They used to have a seriously competent airforce which they could have easily transitioned into modern Chinese tech had they invested into it.

Even now without it, they have a bloody history of a war with Iraq in which they also had to defend with a terrible lack of parts and supplies.

I still feel bad that their successful hit on an F-35 didn’t result in a kill considering they had to hit it at close range with an IR missile.

Something something France light.

Also related but isn’t Canada super immigrant dense anyway? If you ignored the architecture, you could genuinely confuse some areas for South Asia lol.

I don’t think they actually will tbh

ICC cricket world cups are notorious for empty seats because they do the same thing where they only sell “premium” seats for ridiculous prices and pretend that the regular seats are sold out.

They’ll probably open up tickets a couple of days before the match because they know last minute people will still buy

Not necessarily for the humanity, more for the internet lolz.

Although considering Iraq’s history with their treatment of PoWs, it would probably be in Iran’s best interest to show they aren’t torturing or abusing the pilots in any capacity.

This is a good time to mention that one of the reasons solar is so popular in Pakistan is because it lets you bypass the insanely corrupt power companies which extorts everyone for access to electricity and pretends there’s a shortage of power by doing scheduled load shedding.

IRGC better find the pilots and give them the chai treatment because there is literally no better form of propaganda lol

Seriously though, this is some big news especially after their earlier hit on an F-35.
