Not So Fun Fact: If a flight wasn’t delayed by 40 minutes, the White House or the Capitol would’ve been destroyed in 9/11.

Not that I'm particularly educated on the subject, is there any particular reason why we are proposing to construct an embassy with a Zionist region?

No definitely I agree but the consequence of Zionism has been devasting for the Palestinian people

I mean Zionism by dictionary definition just means an ideology supporting a Jewish state, but I do agree that the current state of Israel has been devastating for Palestinians.

My opinion also is that we shouldn't construct an embassy with a zionist Region. Zionism is jewish Fascism and we are an Antifascist Region. What Israel is continuing to do to Palestinian people is horrible! It would be very embarassing for me to have a zionist Region as an ally of ours.

While I agree Israel’s current ideology is terrible, and what they are doing is devastating.

Zionism’s dictionary definition pretty much means an ideology that supports a Jewish state. So while I agree Israel’s current ideology has been devastating to the Palestinians, I don’t think Zionism itself is the ideology that supports this.

Yes but constructing an embassy with a region that supports Zionism, which is the ideology that means we now have an Israeli State where Jewish Citizens have more rights than other Citizens is devasting. In practice Zionism has been used as a justification for these crimes; the creation of the apartheid state, displacement and marginalisation of Palestinians and worse... And the reality of this is many Jews don't support Zionism because of this very reason...

I agree with Partisan Italy this is hypocritical of an antifascist region.

Definition of Zionism in the dictionary is reductive. It fails to consider the historical developement of zionist ideology. In origin Zionism was merely the request of a jewish country somewhere. But in 1948 the jewish homeland was built and the original ideology became useless.

But there were two variants of Zionism that advocated proposals for the post-nation-building phase: Labor Zionism and Revisionist Zionism. Labor Zionism advocated workers cooperatives and workers collectives (kibbutz system), but for jewish workers only, excluding palestinian workers.

Revisionist Zionism is the dominat ideology now in Israel and was theorized by Ze'ev Jabotinsky. Revisionist Zionism advocates colonial and violent domination of Arabs and sees jewish people as superior to Arabs, which they have to civilize.

Labor Zionism was excludent, Revisionist Zionism is openly racist and fascist. The first was the ideology of Israel Labor Party and the second is the ideology of Likud

Was looking through the ole TST party dispatch and my goodness my political views have changed quite a bit

Well now I guess the dictionary meaning is meaningless. But does that region support that extremism?

On behalf of our Culture Minister I am sharing these dispatches with this region.

It's that time already! The judges of the Forest Interregional Writing Contest 2021 have considered each entry and have chosen a deserving winner for each category. I'd like to take this opportunity to extend to them my sincerest thanks for taking the time to collaborate with me on this project; they not only assessed each entry but also provided a substantial amount of carefully considered feedback on each piece.

So, without further ado, you can find out the winners of this year's contest in the dispatch below - as well as the winning entries, feedback from the judges and a personal message from me to all of our entrants.

I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone and publish the August edition of the Voice of Forest at the same time. This issue tells the story of Dame Dr Jane Goodall, the primatologist who became the first (and only) human ever to be accepted into chimpanzee society. Happy reading!

A very good question. I'm really not sure either.

Aya Democratic Republic wrote:Assuming everybody looking at this is left-wing, what is your most right-wing opinion?

Hmm

Well I suppose that'd have to be my opinions on Scottish independence. If you count nationalism as right-wing anyway

However the independence Party in Scotland is also pretty social-democratic

Other than that I really don't know...

I used to believe in deterrence over rehabilitation and the death penalty though.

Now I've done a full 180 and am EXTREMELY in favour of rehabilitation.

Nationalism doesn’t have to be right-wing, in many countries like the United States it typically is, but in other countries it is left-wing.

On the UK version, I most sided with the Liberal Democrat Party

So that was interesting

I’d prefer if we had a more complex discussion about the embassies instead of having a simple 3 option poll.

I have messaged the WA Delegate of Israel the following questions:

I want to ask many things, I am the Provisional Governor of The Region That Has No Big Banks, which our Founder and WA Delegate, Yodle has made embassies with your region Israel, it was a bit of a controversy in my region as the actions of Israel has been devastating for Palestinians, I have a few questions so I can report back to my region.

1. Does the region of Israel recognize Palestine as a country?

2. Does the region of Israel recognize that Jerusalem is not only important in Judaism, but also in other religions like Islam, and Christianity?

3. Does the region of Israel believe Jerusalem can be a place for many religions not just Judaism?

4. Does the region of Israel condemn many actions of Israel taken against Palestinians, like expulsion of Palestinians from there homes, responding to peaceful protests with violence, and airstrikes killing many Palestinians?

Based off stats from the recruitment telegram, it looks like the four consecutive joins in the last 5 hours were puppets, and the others were legit. Weirdly enough, summertime is a lull for NationStates and people start getting back into it in droves during the school year
