it is not legally binding, but many government bodies treat it like a law, making it tiring to fight against it in the courts all the time.

Ethnostate refers to them explicitly having written in their constitution that they are a state for ethnic Jews. Any civilized country has a constitution that grants human rights to ebery human and certain civil rights based on citizenship. Israel explicitly is designed as an ethnic supremacy apartheid state.

Sure. So in Islam we believe that God and the creation are seperate. All Prophets (peace be upon them) are humans, who have been given prophethood for their virtuous character. Any powers outside the realm of human capacities were granted by God to aid their mission, but it wasn’t their inherent powers.

For a longer read on this from an Islamic perspective i found this article: https://www.reviewofreligions.org/27744/jesus-son-of-god-historical-context-long-read/

As for the development of the Christian idea that Jesus would be the son of God. This is a Greek/Roman idea that was pushed to dominance around the fourth century. Notable is the Council of Nicae, where it was agreed that the concept of Trinity (with Jesus as son of God and some abstract holy spirit) should be the used. As for the reason why, it is likely that the Trinity was chosen to make Christianity more palatable to Polytheists, despite the rejection of polytheism and embrace of monotheism being fundamental to the Abrahamic religions. This is also why the concept is strongly rejected by Jews and Muslims. However also Nontrinitarian Christians exist to this day.

Jesus also didn’t proclaim himself to be the literal son of God, nor a part of God. That was invented by the churches some 300 years later. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Council_of_Nicaea

Both Judaism and Christianity had their scriptures altered over time, serving political goals of the scholar’s class. This is why Islam puts such a strong focus preserving the Quran exactly as it was revealed.

Mixing bigotry against religious people with classism and a sprinkle of racism does not make it rational. There is plenty of religious people who are neither oppressed or poor, nor do they use their religion for oppression of other people.

Religion is not necessarily the same as religious institutions. Christianity is quite an outlier with its heavy centralization in the case of Catholicism, but there is many denominations of Christianity that are not adhering to a centralized institution.

The state does exist. The state is inherently built on crimes. Saying this state must cease to exist does not mean that the people should cease to exist.

Again taking Nazi Germany as an example. The German Reich ceased to exist. There is no Führer, no Reichschancellor, Reichsgovernment… Incidently there is a movement called “Reichsbürger” (citizens of the Reich) that proclaim the Federal Republic of Germany is a company and not a sovereign nation, so instead they claim the Reich to still exist. But it does not.

There was no genocide against Germans to make the Reich cease to exist and while there were ample use of strategies that by todays standards are war crimes against the Reich, the responsibility for starting the war laid with the Germans.

If we apply this to the state of Israel. Israel started to ethnically cleanse the area. Israel is inherently an Apartheid regime and the current state would never obey by international law, end the illegal occupation, give back stolen land, recompense the victims, punish the criminals and give equal rights to Palestinians living inside the internationally recognized borders of the state of Israel. The Israeli constitution itself says that Israel is a Jewish ethnostate, thus by the constitution Israel is a racist and criminal state in violation of international law.

You cannot reform this state like you couldn’t reform the German Reich. The state and all of its institutions need to be rebuild from the ground up. And then in a way that grants equal rights and justice for all living between the river and the sea.

Where do you expect the resistance leaders to come from?

From the state resistance leadership school, with the public resistance leadership grant? If you dont form a resistance you cannot create resistance leaders

They will do this either way.

There is no bargaining with these people. They will not not escalate from their side. By not escalating from your side you only encourage their escalation as they face no repercussions.

Exactly, you need armed protest.

Organize armed protests. Connect in your neighborhood, so if this shit goes down, and it will start going down in your neighborhood soon enough, people can show up, free the victim and bog down the attackers.

Germany does not have the right to exist. The German people have a right to self determination, like any people in the world does. This right is not tied to any specific state.

It is also completely absurd to define such rights to a specific state. Any specific state needs a specific government, a specific territory and a specific people. The only thing that carried over from the Nazi era was the people. A different government was formed on a very different territory. If you claim “Germany has a right to exist” in connection with the Nazi Reich, that Germany would have to include large swaths of what is todays Poland and Czech Republic.

Meanwhile there was no Israel in 1947. There was no Israeli people in 1947. The entire people is a construct, that only started to become a reality through 80 years of ethnic cleansing and genocide against the Palestinian people. Now that they are a people is a reality. That this people thus has the right to form a fascist state and deny the rights to the people who they have uprooted is nonsense.

If the US was to invade Canada, drive the Canadians north of the arctic circle and then claim this is US-Canada now because the filled it with millions of their own settlers, that does not create a “right to exist” for US-Canada.

Saddam quickly went from ruling by popular support to ruling by scaring the shit out of any opposition.

Netanyahu and other Fascists in Israel still enjoy comfortable majority support in Israel. Even if people protest against Netanyahu, they are largely still in favor of ethnical cleansing and genocide against the Palestinians. Most people in Iraq didn’t need reeducation when Saddam was toppled. The vast majority of Israelis need a reeducation and be confronted with their crimes at large and have hundreds of thousands of their war criminals permanently locked away in order to cure the Fascism that has deep roots in their society now. It will take decades to safe them from who they have chosen to become.

When your job is to shovel out garbage, because that is specifically required from you and not shoveling out garbage is causing you trouble, then you are more than reasonable to let the machine take care of it for you.

Germany is one of the greatest liabilities to the EU right now. The dawning government coalition is set to massively increase authoritarian surveillance, pander to far right and fascist extremists, block energy and transport transition and the establishment of a modern industrial base. Meanwhile Germany dismantles the somewhat rules based order it used to help build by its unhinged support for Israel, while Israel and Russia are pocketing the European far right. Finally by deliberately ignoring social issues the current and upcoming German government are actively working to make the fascist AfD the strongest party in the next election and the CDU/CSU have fostered ties to Trump, actively seeking advice on how to maximize far right/fascist populism.

Israel has made it abundantly clear, that they would like to murder every Palestinian in Gaza. The fact that only about 10% have been murdered by Israel so far is a great success in these circumstances.

By your logic you would have demanded Churchill, Stalin and Roosevelt to be kicked out of power because they didn’t manage to stop the Nazis earlier. The only ones who would have benefited from this would have been the Nazis.

Same goes for Israel and Hamas now. Why do you think JPost, a deeply convinced Zionist Imperialist rag is celebrating these demonstrations and blowing them out of proportion? Because they want Hamas to be out of the way so Israel can conclude the genocide uncontested.

So that Israel can fullfill their genocidal dreams uncontested? Just look at the Westbank to see how a complicit government sucking up to Israel is just helping in slaughtering and ethnically cleansing its own population.

Also it is worrying how the problem is shifted from the genocider to the the people who resisted the genocide. “Stop punching yourself”

Netanyahu will just go to war with the next countries. See the Israeli invasion of Syria, see their invasion of Lebanon, see their plans to create a greater Israel requiring to go to war and annihilate all surrounding countries and hundreds of millions of people.

Hitler didn’t stop when Austria and Czechoslovakia where handed to him on a silver plate. Neither will Netanyahu or the other Fascists stop.

the fact that there is .xls and .xlsx, .doc, .docx … proves otherwise.

Yes they can still load and handle the old formats, but evidently the standards did change. As they are pushing for Office365 this will become an even more regular scenario as they want to force everyone to use the latest software, which then is only available in the subscription model.

That little irregular melanom is not doing anything. Why bother cutting it out? It is growing a bit every year, but its not like the cancer spread yet, is it?
