Again zionists end up advocating for mass immigration. We do not want a massive wave of refugees to any country.

They have higher IQ than the gulf states which do fine.
Also if they are inherently civilizationally incompetent it is important that they stay in Palestine so that we don't end up with Palestinian refugees.

Palestine gets 17 out of 23 counties and Palestinians get full citizenship in the remaining six would be a substantial win for Palestinians.

Ireland is today a successful nation. Palestine could very well be as well. The British military wasn't defeated in a major battle against the irish. All the Irish had to do was make it infeasible to continue occupying Ireland.

Israel is dropping in popularity among young people left and right.
Israel is deeply unpopular in much of the world and increasingly becoming less popular.
If winning a war was measured in dropped bombs, Vietnam would be American and Northern Ireland would be Irish.

There are 250 Chinese for each Tibetan, there are more Palestinians than jews. Also there aren't large Tibetan nations surrounding China.
China didn't defeat its occupants in a big battle, they made occupying China unfeasible in the long run. That is what the Palestinians are doing.

If the Palestinians had simply given up they would have been genocided by Israel. They have fought back and kept a decent size of land because of it. If they love their children they should do what the Irish did and get their country back.

I assume you are jewish.
If you missed it there are strict rules of warfare that have been a part of western civilization for a long time. Catholicism has a view of war that is completely incompatible with the jewish view of war. Might is right with ethnic cleansing has not been applied in Europe.
The French on Haiti didn't want their land back. The Boer didn't want to live in a Bantu state. The occupation isn't long term sustainable and will fall apart. Palestinians have effectively ensured Israel is in a permanent state of crisis with an unsolvable public relations crisis.

If Palestinians didn't defend themselves they would have been ethnically cleansed. Not being genocided by being forced to leave is a main Palestinian goal. Why would they want to be sent to live in Libya? Why would Libya accept ethnic cleansing of millions of people so that millions of refugees end up in their country? Why would Spain which this thread is about want millions of refugees dumped in Libya where they easily can get to Europe.
Had the Irish all thought the same way there would be no Irish left.

Israel is a welfare queen that wouldn't last many days if it got the south Africa during the 80s or current Russia sanctions.
If Israel's military is so great why have they failed to take an area the size of a suburb in almost two years despite massive brutality and having to beg for boundless supplies of weapons? Israel's main military asset is propaganda and giving low IQ west bank settlers the capacity to do things that are seen and heard globally effectively turned that on its head.
If you look at the wars that became horrendous PR failures such as Vietnam, the French in Algeria, South Africa etc they have all been wars against a population that fundamentally has no reason to accept that order. The South Vietnamese government had no real claim of authority or legitimacy. The palestinian population has no reason to accept large number Eastern Europeans who moved there in the 90s having more rights than they do. They have no reason to accept having a country that is chopped in two parts of which the largest part isn't connected to the sea.
Israel is dropping like a rock in the polls and especially among young people. Palestine's best weapon is IDF soldiers with tiktok showing the world their true nature. Israel is not going to be viable as a state when the state is deeply unpopular in the rest of the world.
and in the conflict between making his country look competent and his support for Palestine,
The completely incompetent looking one was the one who dragged Spain into the Iraq war. Competency is ensuring we don't have a Mediterranean state that creates a massive refugee crisis near Europe. A country that bombs six MENA countries in a week is an enemy of Europe.
Israel destroyed Gaza's catholic church and expects to be treated like a normal country. Does Israel treat countries that destroy synagogues the same way?

The alliance between Ukrainians cosplaying WWII Germans and American far left woke people is one of the most interesting coalitions in modern history. I don't think we should expect them to be completely up to date with the current memes in the related sphere.

There used to be rules of wars and strict protocol surrounding them. The republicans have firmly rejected this notion even saying that they would militarily attack the Hague if an American was tried for war crimes. The republicans and mainstream democrats have completely rejected the idea of the Geneva convention.
If your concept is "I can kill however I want because I am special and rules don't apply to me" you can't be shocked when someone else follows your line of reasoning. The view of Afghan villagers weren't taken into consideration when their weddings were blown up and this is fine according to Kirk with friends. But he and his world view has to be taken into consideration when he gets wacked.
Either we have rules of engagement that are enforced globally or we have personal preferences. He lived and died by the latter view.
Software is a major employeer in Europe. In Stockholm programmer is the most common job for men. The numbers vary wildly when I google but there are millions of developers in the EU.
The issue is that the devs in Europe don't end up in fields with high growth potential. Many end up writing code for car companies, banks and government. There are lots of devs working for traditional industries or maintaining a billing system. To a great extent it is a mindset issue. Our financial elites try to run tech companies as if they were running a steel mill and end up with great software for their industrial products. However, it doesn't scale. A hospital record keeping system isn't going to turn into a trillion Euro company.
Much of the blame should be placed upon the business community. There really needs to be two business schools, one for tech and one for traditional industries. The mindset among investor in Europe is so far from the silicon valley mindset.
If someone tried to pitch open AI to a European investor they would be focused on how it can be sold to mid sized companies by a sales team and what the profit margin of that would be. Then they might pitch in 500k Euros.

The US gave massive support to various jihadist groups in Syria. Also the US has backed terrorists in Libya.
Like the US bombing the middle east almost constantly since 2001? The endless drone strikes, backing jihadists and starving civilians.
Hamas fighters do wear uniforms. Israel is a genocidal nation that is illegally occupying territory. Any action against it is not only karmic, it is self defence.

The US has a long history of backing and supporting terrorists.
Killing representatives in a diplomatic process is abhorrent. Palestinians are a part in an armed conflict. They are legal combatants. Even if it was a real terrorist gorup like the Israeli backed Al Nusra front they can be negotiated with. Nearly all armed conflicts end with negotiations.

The US has a long history of killing people, toppling leaders, backing terrorists and simply stealing resources from countries. This behaviour is hardly new or different for the US. The US doesn't believe in an equal relationship between countries. The US has its imperial interests which are enforced by bombing and sanctions.
The main difference today is China and the rise of a multipolar world. Countries that are simply treated too poorly by the US will jump ship and join team China. China hasn't even come remotely close to doing the damage the US has done in latin America and the middle east. China is less interested in how us non Chinese, aka barbarians, run our countries. For many countries China is a bigger trade partner than the US is. With cheap drone and missile tech even Yemen can have some proper military bite towards the US.
Israel continues to be a gigantic liability for the US and China's greatest strategic asset in the region.

The US elite has effectively decided that you are getting a mass surveillance state, wars in the middle east and outrageously expensive medical care regardless of who you vote for. The US political establishment is far more loyal to their donors than their constituents.
The Second Amendment is not about hunting and burglars, it is about defence against the state. Clearly the US establishment has overstepped their bounds far beyond what the founding fathers would have considered reasonable for a Second Amendment solution. Had they known about the level of mass surveillance or the current level of taxation they would most definitely supported a Second Amendment solution.

Is the mainstream right badge something people actually want except for donors? He was pro warmongering in the middle east, prop wall street and pro the medical industrial complex draining average Americans.
Interestingly enough Fuentes has gained decent traction on tiktok among minorities and leftists because he is fundamentally opposed to elite politics. His coverage of Middle Eastern policies resonate with many in the left.

He was also a defender of Israel's assassinations so he was pro gun and pro assassination.
The US elite is too protected from the consequences of their actions. The ones who voted for the Iraq war should be sent to the front. The defund the police proponents should be forced to walk the streets of st Louis at night without protection. The elites need to learn that they will be held accountable.

Swedish gun owner:
I have never really had to deal with them. I filled in my application online and a few weeks later I got a license in the mail. I have bought four guns from a store and in those cases the staff in the store filled out the forms and I just waited a few min for them to do the paperwork before I signed it.
A lawyer I know got fired from the police where he was processing licenses due to him being a gun lover and asking too many questions. The lawyers who work there not at all knowledgeable about guns and mainly go after what the gun looks like. They are obsessed with guns looking old.
For my handguns I had to get my shooting club to sign my applications. They required me to spend a few weekends working on the range and use their position of power to get applicants to work for free. However, I genuinely like the officials and the gun club. They are a trustworthy, friendly and have excellent taste in hobbies. They would make the best neighbours. A big part of the Swedish sport shooting licensing system is built on the clubs filtering people and only co signing applications for people they want as members. This is an effective way to filter people who seem like trouble but have clean records. On the other hand, nepotism is rampant and there is little equality before the law as our system gives licenses based on personal relationships to gun club chairmen.
When I had more time I used to help train people to meet the gun club requirements for licenses and I helped people get gun licenses. I want more people to get guns.
30% of Palestine was Christian before Israel started to destroy the Christian population of Palestine. Non of the war mongering has helped the countries in the middle east.
Also if they are so civilizationally incompetent, the last thing we would want would be a Palestinian refugee crisis. Therefore they need to stay put.
