Geopolitics

I've recently become interested in geopolitics and international relations after doing some reading into the Israel Palestine conflict (Spoiler, I'm very sympathetic to the palestinians), and I'm curious if anyone else shares this interest? If so, what do you read to stay up to date?

Not directly addressing your point, but I am glad to see more conservatives questioning the current regime of Israel and their war in Palestine. I genuinely don't understand MAGA's isolationism but unbridaled support for Israel.

A lot of this shift towards increasingly anti Israel stances is being driven by right wing youth, who generally speaking have no sacred cows. The older generations seem to be the only ones still stubbornly holding on to zionist myths.

What do you think about Amrica's activity in the Caribbean?

Not a huge fan. We should no better than to try the regime change playbook anywhere at this point.

Thoughts on hamas?

It's an organization that uses violence and terrorist tactics to resist a genocidal rogue state that they can't negotiate with.

W take

When will we develop the intellectual maturity to stop conflating Hamas with Palestine? And when will we also develop the maturity to realise that things don't happen in isolation, and there is always the cause of something?

Real

Are there even any hardcore Israel loyalists left at this point? I'd be interested in having a discussion with one of them.

When this conflict started and I've proclaimed my support for Palestine, many of my conservative so called friends from the Us were surprised at my stance and said things like, "Well I thought you are a conservative!"
Does being conservative now come with a list of options to tick and labels to follow?
I have never been a fan of Israel for various reasons, including the fact they often try to blame us for what happened during the second world war and some of them even seem to be partially suggesting that Poles were responsible for their extermination in concentration camps, along with the nazis, when millions of Poles died from the hands of nazis, so that notion is disgusting itself, plus many Poles risked their lives and the lives of their families to try and save/hide Jews, so suggesting otherwise is just vile.
Then comes what is happening now, which is the conflict. An ironic paradox, because they are murdering civilians now, but in Palestine and Gaza.

Personally I've grown out of identifying with the label of conservative, in part because of false dichotomies like those.

Agreed, better to live in harmony with your values than to be stuck in boxes.

Labels are fascinating, in the sense that they mean different things depending on where you are. Like for example, in America or Canada a Liberal is a leftist, whereas in Australia their Liberals are conservatives.

Joking right now, but just imagine if Australian liberals are conservative, then how liberal must their far left be :D

Yeah, their so-called conservatives are as far left as the American liberals.

I have no simpathies whatsoever for the so called, non-existent nation of the Palestinians. In every war, every conflict, they were against Serbs. In 1940s, they cheerfully supported Hitler, along with their now dead and rotting mufti Hosseini. In 1990s, they sent their people to Bosnia to help their Muslim brothers. Even before that, Jews were always with us, and they against.
There are even more reason why I am glad they're getting a good spanking, but it would be too long a post to write.

Also, in israel you can freely criticize the government, chant for netanyahu to be hanged, burn the flag, do whatever, no single hair follicle will be missing from your body, tells you that the israeli society is mature. Plus, most of them don't support the war and killing of innocent people. But at the other side, palestinians chose hamas, democratically. Even nazi german society was more mature than hamas, there were millions of anti nazi people (SpD, old school conservatives, the old prussian aristocrats) who were firmly against hitler. We don't see such movements within the palestinian homo sapiens in name only. They're muslim nazis. same rhetoric, same tactics, same goals. I can't understand how can liberals support a regime that would destroy everything liberal if they were in power.
I'm in germany now and nowadays, jews aren't endangered by the germans, but by the muslim immigrant antisemites. They all love western money and standards of living, but if they were in power they'd recreate the same shithole from which they were running away.
If europe would firmly embrace it's pagan roots, there would be no room for absolutist religions such as christianity and islam. Out of those 3, jews are the only ones who mostly abandoned the literal interpretations of their sacred books and are the only truly post religious society.

Gaza last held elections in January 2006. I was born in February 2006. They've literally held elections longer than I've been alive. Meanwhile, my own country held elections on at least 5 occasions since then, the US similar, Australia 7, and the UK 4.
Trinidad has had 4 Prime Ministers in that time. The US 4 Presidents, the UK 7 PM's, Australia also 7 and Germany 3 Chancellors. You get the idea.
