I know, I wish more people made the transition, or that it was at least a little more global.

Entiendo la ironía sin duda.
Yeah insular upon insular, it can be exhausting even if you dont have to deal with the muskbots
I hate Twitter but a big reason for why it remains a better site than Bluesky is because this place is an insular anglophone bubble that desperately needs the occasional latin american, asian or african dogpile on people who only ever expect to get pushback from english speaking westerners.

Israel is going to do everything it possibly can to undermine a permanent peace because Bibi’s vision for a “Greater Israel” devoid of Palestinians or Lebanese has not been achieved,
and his window of opportunity closes in November.
The days of blind support for Israel in the USA are behind us.
God you are so salty Trump got his ass handed to him. May the losses pile up!
The chauvinism of you people is outstanding.
"The future that awaits you is becoming a client state of... a USA that behaves like a CRINK state."
So the past century.
American intentions in Latin America have always been vicious and duplicitous during the so called "Pax Americana", so I do indeed welcome and celebrate its end.
I'm somewhat unconcerned by the designs of China when the US is the objective threat of the western hemisphere.
Nothing amigo, just having fun
I am, though
God I hope it's true.
Members of the Iranian Jewish community inspect what is left of their synagogue in Tehran after Israel bombed it. On Passover...
The bird is sometimes shown on a warrior shield. Colonial documents say that the dynasty of Calixtlahuaca was called chimalli, which is the Nahuatl word for shield. They also say the Spanish friars forcibly moved the population of Calixtlahuaca into Toluca to provide labor to build a church.
The terrorists that attacked Iran have just bombed one of the most elite scientific institutions in the Middle East, Iran’s Sharif University of Technology in the heart of Tehran. Not a military target, they are repeatedly going after schools and medical facilities just like in Palestine.
Lebanon is 33% Christian. Israel is illegally invading Lebanon & bombing Christian villages.
Moreover, Israel has warned Lebanese Christians & Druze to forbid any Muslim from hiding in their homes & Israeli troops are now hunting for Muslims hiding in attics of Christians.
These Are War Crimes.

Fingers crossed for their continued incompetence!
Trying to reset the bad faith gained over the past three years, the problem isn't Netanyahu, it's Israel.
