Middle East Jordan, which defended Israel last night by neutralizing much of the Iranian attack on its airspace, has still not been officially thanked by Israel.

I'm not defending Israel, just it sounds ridiculous when they depict Soviet Union as some nice place while it was actually hell for many people there

My entire father's side lived in Lithuania in peace post-war. Granted, my father almost got sent to the gulag work camps for getting into an argument with a local official.

That the Soviet Union was a hellish place? Have you read a history book?

Why even bother reading books, when there is this great historian who has online lectures, and who also happens to be the president of Russia? He tells everything exactly how it was, never exaggerating or pushing his own agenda, cause he’s such a great and honest man. He even invited the most prominent and trusted journalist in all Americas to listen to his lecture recently, it was a blast.

Did South Africa have freedom of speech, religion and LGBT rights for its populations?

There are more than just Jews in Israel, after all. lol

nothing you said means Israel is not a a state with apartheid. But don't take it from me, here read it yourself https://waronwant.org/news-analysis/israeli-apartheid-factsheet

go ahead, read it and then reply. It's far too much to quote it here.
