-Ich war lange Fan von politischer Satire. Heute sehe ich es mit gemischten Gefühlen. Denn Satire über den politischen Gegner ist selten zielführend, sie bedient die eigene Echokammer und verhärtet Fronten. Satire, die "die Anderen" nur als dumm darstellt, sie verlacht und verhöhnt, kann keine vernünftige Debatte anstoßen und Konflikte lösen.
+Ich war lange Fan von politischer Satire. Ich sehe mir die Sendungen immer noch an aber manchmal mit gemischten Gefühlen. Denn Satire über den politischen Gegner ist selten zielführend, sie bedient die eigene Echokammer und verhärtet Fronten. Satire, die "die Anderen" nur als dumm darstellt, sie verlacht und verhöhnt, kann keine vernünftige Debatte anstoßen und Konflikte lösen. Mehr noch, diese Sendung laden ein zum "für-sich-abhaken", Position konsumiert, mental abgespeichert, "das Thema ist dann durch". Glücklichweise gibt es Veranstaltungen, auf die das kaum bis nicht zutrifft und sogar Edutainment-Charakter haben. Stichwort "Tafelnummer".
 Meme wars. (Meinungskriege, bubbles of truth, gesellschaftliche Entfremdung)

-* Israel critical discussions are also often treated as antisemitic. It's a mine field where you are in danger of getting your legs ripped off as soon as you enter.

+* As for Israel critical discussions - there is a good chance that their mere existance is judged as antisemitic.

-(Ger.) "Nazikeule", you get battered by the "nazi bat". It's a term used to express your diffamation as a nazi no matter your arguments and then the discussion ends due to self-censorship. Such political climat - because felt as unfair - is contra-productive, it fuels frustration and anger. For things you cannot say you needed Amos Oz, a Jewish critical thinker, utterly respected by his own people - however he died by age and similar voices supporting a two-state solution get more and more rare.

Making it even more complicated the term can be said by any political color. Anyway, this political climat - because felt as unfair - is contra-productive, it fuels frustration and anger.

 * Netanjahu, Israelic premier minister, himself of the right spectrum, rejects international critic as antisemitic. (Ermittlungen des Internationalen Strafgerichtshofes in Den Haag, obwohl auch gegen Palästinenser.)
 * '''The Isreali state is seen as a survival guarantee for Jews worldwide.''' This makes it easy to promote a hard line and defend status quo.
-However, the Islamic world views Israel with concern for strongly isolating Palestinians which are in turn attacking the Israelis by the forces of Hezbollah.
+However, the Islamic world views Israel with concern for strongly isolating Palestinians which are attacking the Israelis by the forces of Hezbollah.
 Israel is defending itself through counterstrikes. Meanwhile settlers are "creating facts" by build houses and ignore Palestinian interests. So the spiral of escalations and cheasefire goes on and on. However, it's unwise to continue this course of confrontation for all time. Israel is basically surrounded by enemies. But can you really demand other countries to not have nuclear bombs when you are having them yourself already? Eventually Iran will have a nuclear bomb. Israel should aim for a two-state solution and not continue to give radicals forces the arguments to fight them. It's in their own interest.
