            Israel has been an apartheid state for quite a while. While apartheid South Africa was under sanctions and not even France or the USA would give them military equipment, Israel supplied them with arms and gave them the equipment and training to make their own military weapons. There's a reason why the standard military service rifle was, and is, a locally produced IMI Galil, and why apartheid era fighter jets like the Atlas Cheetah (locally upgraded Mirage 3) looked identical to the Israeli IAI Kfir (Israeli upgraded mirage 5) fighter jets.

        I mean, they're also China's second largest supplier of arms.

        Israel sells weapons to everyone.

    I'm surprised India, Britain and France aren't featured.

    EDIT: A bunch of Indians replying to Netanyahu essentially saying "notice us, senpai!" jfc

      Modi definitely sides with Israel and Netanyahu. I don’t know if he’ll publicly condemn Palestine or not. Hindutva has historically sided with whoever is persecuting Muslims or will let them persecute Muslims. Doesn’t matter if it’s the British, the Nazis, or now the Israelis.

    The Mercator projection is actually helping Netanyahu quite a bit on that map.

    Apparently there are 700k Muslims in Argentina, and 1.5 million in Brazil. Plus some folks in Colombia after it was spread there via a follower of the Nation of Islam.

    Not that any of that matters, this is more or less the same map we see all the time here. I was curious how many adherents of Islam were in South America. WTF Germany and Italy, though, I expected better.

      WTF Germany

      It's very impossible to have a discussion about anything that's related to Israel in Germany for historical reasons.

      If you want to dive deeper: look up the anti-Deutsche-movement, an "left-wing" counter-culture current in Germany which basically advocates that everything Germany does is wrong and Germans should all kill themselves, and Israel is the best country in the world. I'm not making that up, it's very weird.

        That explains the shitty Covid situation there. Seems like every right-wing government suffers from a worsening pandemic
