If I read all that right, then the courts have held that a minority must be given their own voting district because they are not the majority. If minority's "preferred candidates" don't win, they must be made to win, because the majority must not be allowed to elect their preferred candidates. We call this "democracy".

"Sidney Sweeney's jeans ad is nazism"
"Wtf I love Hitler now"
The saying goes that leftism is basically just pretending not to understand simple concepts, making dialogue untenable.

If this be nazism, make the most of it.
"Nazi" in the current parlance just means "politically sane".

It's zero problem. There are no real nazis, there are plenty of anti-semites on both sides. Beating the "muh nazis" dead horse only hastens the day when it reaches negative social connotation. We may have already passed it.

It's all right in front of you. This is a belief system that posits "scientific" politics as a substitute for what christians would call "godliness". "Science" is the clerisy that interprets the Moral Arc of History (the Popular Will, or Will of God) and informs the initiated what the correct Just Being A Decent Human Being (politically correct, christian) behavior is. Marx was just the first big one to take off during the religious doldrums of the second half of the nineteenth century, and so it is his name most associated with all the related sects that squabble among us to this day. From the enlightenment until now, this has been the pattern. The first attempt in France to replace Christianity failed miserably, the second in Russia worked, sort of, for a while. The third, in the west has been more successful, largely by free-riding on western military power and religious tolerance. But here too, we see cracks forming.

We call by many names the "successor ideology", "wokeness", "PC", "Cultural Marxism" etc. It is all the abstracted christian heretical sect which has no true ideology except opposition to western society and its economic and military success. These are deracinated christian cultists who believe the US is the devil. It really isn't much deeper than that. Any number of political, social or entirely imaginary theories will be propagated to hold up this structure, but it really is just oikophobia at the root.
That this ideology is the ruling ideology of the western empire, which legitimates their expansion of empire, is merely the crowning irony.
Israel has accepted a lot more land settlement deals over the years than the Palestinians have. Further complicating things, Israel has one government, and the Palestinians have somewhere between two and six, depending on which terrorist organizations you count. There is no body of Palestinians that can approve a deal that can command the obedience of all the disparate armed groups. Hamas does not command the PLO, the PLO does not command Hezbollah, Hezbollah does not command IJ.
