People always say “Israel is the one that stopped the self determination of Palestinians” which is true in the modern sense but almost no one talks about the fact that modern Palestine probably would not exist either if Israel never existed.

Before 1948, there was no independent Palestinian state. The land was controlled by the Ottoman Empire and then the British Mandate. After the Arab israeli war Jordan took the West Bank and Egypt controlled Gaza. Neither country created a Palestinian state there.

That is the part people avoid discussing. Palestinian national identity became much stronger internationally because of the conflict with Israel. If Israel disappeared tomorrow and history played out differently, there is a real chance the territory would simply be absorbed by neighboring Arab countries instead of becoming an independent Palestine.

I am not saying Palestinians don’t deserve self determination (i am pro 1 state solution). They absolutely do. I am saying that the idea of a globally recognized Palestinian national movement likely would not have developed the same way without Israel existing as the opposing state.

Would you watch such a movie?

And if any exists please tell me about it bc it has always been a dream of mine.

Imagine a slasher wearing the zombies skin like the Alpha and beta from TWD.

Do you think he would have gained power earlier?

And how different would "islam" be?

I swear some horror movies in 2026 still have CGI gore that looks worse than cgi from 15 years ago. I am not even anti-CGI either like a good mix of practical effects and CGI can look amazing when it is done right like in terrifier movies But lately I keep watching movies where the gore completely takes me out of the experience because it looks so fake.

Like why are decaptated heads still looking like rubber dolls floatng in the air? Why does blood sometimes look like a bad YouTube intro effect? The second a scene switches to CGI limbs or bodies, all tension literally disappears and I just start rolling my eyes.

Practical effects had texture, weight, and grime to them. Even older movies with smaller budgets managed to make gore feel more real because there was actually something physical on set. Meanwhile some modern movies spend millions and somehow deliver PS3 cutscene gore 🤣.

Again i am not saying “CGI bad" Great CGI exists. When it’s blended subtly with practical effects, you usually don’t even notice it which is the whole point. But studios seriously need to stop rushing unfinished VFX shots into horror movies, especially when gore is supposed to be one of the genre biggest strengths.

Honestly some of the most effective recent horror scenes where the ones using mostly practical effects because they actually felt tangible and disturbing instead of looking like a video game cinematic.

Anybody else getting pulled out of horror movies lately because of bad CGI gore?

I genuinely miss straight forward slasher movies I miss the 1980's campy movies and the movies where it's not that deep and it is just fun horror.

It seems like nowadays for a movie to be popular or liked it needs to be a complicated psychological horror.

Basically not every society can handle democracy and some countries need strong rule not democracy and function better under strict governments.

You can't build a tolerant society by empowering intolerance bc if a society's dom culture is already extreme and intolerant democracy can sometimes amplify those views by allowing people to elect regimes thay reflect and reinforce them.

Societies emerging from conflict and tribal divisions corruption or weak institutions need strict and very harsh governance and laws to Basically function bc freedom fails in some cultures.

Just because Israel is bad it doesn't make islamists any better as these people opress tens of millions and kill thousands and spread terrorism all around the world.

Believing they are the good side as a leftist,liberal,secular is genuinely suicidal just like the leftists who supported the irgc and got killed and exiled when the Islamic republic took power in iran.

It seems like TikTok and Instagram reels have brain rotted many people to always seek instant gratification.

The show is great and the low review for every episode that doesn't answer mysteries in the show is just ridiculous and is harming the show as it can lead to it's cancelation.

The whole idea of the show is being a slow burn mystery horror.

I oppose zionism and islamism and Christian nationalism.

I oppose Hezbollah Iran Irgc hamas and houthis etc...

I believe Hezbollah participated in massacres in syria Lebanon and iran.

I believe Hezbollah is immoral just like any other fascist and religious extremist groups.

If you wanna discuss it in comments and dms I would love to, I won't reply to anyone who calls me صهيوني او عميل او anything disrespectful.

I woke up from a call from a relative who evacuated in an arae called معشوق bc of a strike and when they saw the hezb rockets and people started filming hezb thugs attacked them and called them 3omala w sar mshkl kber.

I don't even have any energy anymore lol hezb really destroyed Lebanon and we will never recover from this at all.

Good night raye7 nam a7sa shi.

I am so sorry for what Hezbollah did to syrian people.

There's alot of us who hated assad so much and we hate Hezbollah so much.

We were so happy when assad fell and seeing people rescued from their jail.

We may disagree about the new president but at the end of the day it's not our business bc we aren't syrian.

I hope one day every Hezbollah member who committed crimes against syrian people get sent to syria and thrown in jail inside syria.

I wish you the best I wish every syrian sunni alawite druze Christian yazidi etc to live in a prosperous syria.

Love you all and please do not fall for sectarianism because not every sunni is isis not every alawite is assad not every shia is hezb.

I spent many years around Hezbolah supporters and members, and one thing became painfuly clear to me: they do not care about Lebanon or Lebanese. Their loyalty is to Iran and its regional agenda before it is to the Lebanese people. تكليف شرعي قال ههههه

I know some people will call this propaganda or say I am exaggerating, but many Shia Lebanese quietly feel this way too. We just don not speak openly because we know how intimidation works, and we know how dangerous these people can be when challenged publicly.

Lebanon has paid the price for decades and the Lebanese shia community we are their biggest victim Lebanon paid the price economically, politically, and socialy. We are exhausted from living under the shadow of an armed group that operates above the state and drags the country into conflicts most Lebanese never chose.

I hope one day the Lebanese government and army fully control all weapons in the country. I hope those responsible for crimes committed in Syria are held accountable and sent to syria to be punished for their crimes againstSyrian people. And yes i hope Lebanon eventually reaches real peace and stability with all its neighbors, including Israel, because endless war has destroyed generations here.

People outside Lebanon or Shia spaces underestimate how much fear and silence exist here.

L3ama b3yon hezb tl3o mn byotna!!!! THEY ARE HIDING IN CIVILIAN HOMES AND NEIGHBORHOODS ya jame3a r7 nf2a3 btl fina nt7ml 2rfnaaaa.
