what with all these white jewish people in the imperial core who suddenly just NEED to go live in the middle east and commit war crimes and genocide along the way? Just... go buy a house in Arizona or something if you REALLY want to live in the desert? These people who are moving into Israel presumably had a place to live before moving across the planet. Why do they specifically need to move to Israel of all places? Who the fuck is waking up in the morning thinking "I need to murder brown children so I can live in that very specific bit of desert on the other side of the world"?

    I thought Israel was a fairly comfortable place with air conditioning and other amenities you would expect in an imperial core area. Though come to think of it, I honestly have no idea what day to day life is even like in Israel, I just assumed it was rather cushy

      Comfortable but under tension and possible counter attack. You pay extra for DISTANCE from that in the west and Israel. Listen to real estate agents when they sell you stuff on youtube or whatever, they sell you distance from tension.

        With those pictures surfacing the other day of Israeli citizens watching Palestine getting leveled by artillery fire in fucking lawn chairs cheering it on, I didn't exactly think your average Israeli citizen was that fearful of how far they are from danger

      It is but it also has an insane cost of living. Rents and real estate costs in Israel proper are crazy high right now. The new settlements being thrown up in Palestinian land are cheap McMansions for people who can’t afford anything near Tel Aviv.
