  • Israel has more than just US interests on their mind. Proxy wars aren’t neutral battlefields.

    Iran’s allies unites the nonrecognition of a) the Israeli people and b) the state Israel. The Israeli electorate and thus by extension the IDF doesn’t trust its neighbours (Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran) to recognise Israel (a, b) anytime soon, which translates to them as ‘peace was never an option’. Occupation didn’t work, because internationalised guerrilla warfare muddies the waters of combatant status.

    The binary nonrecognition is thus a recipe for wars to come, because the Israelis are highly motivated by what they see as an existential threat. Gaza has the same problem, but the 7. October translates to the Israelis as mutual agreement of almost anything is allowed now.










  • A deported rapist isn’t going to rape any of the natives and citizens anymore.

    So if I understood you correctly, “natives and citizens” symbolises people in Germany in context.

    Deporting unwanted behaviour doesn’t lessen its effect in both societies, which are likely connected in some way anyways (ie not North Korea). Rape is still bad for a society if it exists in other societies, because the non-prevention (not working on perpetrators/would-be perpetrators) and subsequent normalisation of rape harms everyone.

    Deportation of unwanted behaviour is a bit like exporting toxic waste; don’t expect the poison not to come back in some way.


  • Deportation as reaction to crime or deviation is a failure of the justice system: a) Deportation to current Afghanistan for rape is not much of a penalty. b) Deprivation of liberty (jail) allegedly serves social rehabilitation; jail is thus supposed to display Täterarbeit, work with/on perpetrators to achieve accountability. Deportation of criminals deprives a society of justice.
