Not only are the tariffs still around, but he's added to them:

No one is "afraid" of it. We're just not letting you deflect.I think youre afraid of it.
A nothing that has apartheid within it borders a not free anything.
You can have a problem with the IDFs handling of Palestinians and Gaza/The West Bank but the Palestinians arent Israeli. The 20% Arab Israeli minority have the same rights as the as any other citizens in Israel. Which is a hell of a lot more than you can say for anywhere else in the region.

Sounds like the Arab minority is utilizing their freedom of expression to call bullshit. Which once again, is a progressive concept far ahead of any other country in the vicinity.
Really, I give you a literal example of the thing that you said wasn't happening and you write it off.
you linked to a news article about some mostly symbolic legislation that means nothing as an example of Arab Israelis being discriminated against as proof that their living in an apartheid state.
So yeah, really. Israel is the most progressive country in the region by a fucking mile. You can criticize their handling of this war and the Palestinians all you want but thats a stone cold fact and you know it.

The funny thing is, those tariffs just come back on the buyers, because we still import because it's still cheaper for companies to outsource to China. So when they have to pay more, why not push that cost onto us?
Yeah, people like to think it's hyperbole but it isn't. Trump and his cronies are literal nazi's. As in, if they were in WW2, would gladly be worshipping hitler, and defending death camps. They claim it's a buzzword and people calling people they don't like "nazi's". This isn't that. We are talking about how Trump and his biggest followers are literal, actual, nazi's.
And? Apartheid South Africa was also more "progressive" than most of its neighbouring countries then, which were mostly dictatorships, but that means jack shit.
You sound like one of those who randomly bring up Israeli LGBT rights whenever their policies towards Palestinians are criticized.
Irrelevant. If an Israeli and Palestinian commits the same crime together, which goes as low as sharing a joint, then the former would be punished by Israeli civil law but the latter would be punished by the harsher Israeli military law. That is a form of apartheid.
No, its not irrelevant. Palestinians arent Israeli citizens, and they dont want to be for the most part. Once again, be critical of that conflict and how the Israeli government is handling it all you want. But its not a reflection on the civil liberties and rights of Israeli citizens."sure, they're committing a genocide, but not against their own people!"

And? If you're a white man living in the USA in the 60s you'd have plenty of political rights, whereas North Vietnam was an impoverished communist state. Claiming that "at least I can vote in the USA" is not a very good defence of the Vietnam War. Rinse and repeat with the Iraq War.

Stop.
Stop what? All I said is that theyre the most progressive country with the most civil liberties in the Middle East. I didnt say its a utopia free of racism(obviously not true anywhere btw) or that theyre doing an awesome job handling Gaza and the West Bank.
If any of you really wanted to refute that you would tell me what country it is you think theyre lagging behind in that regard and back it up. Which none of you will do because the divide is so vast theres no real argument to make. Its a stone cold fact that you all know is true. If voicing an almost universally agreed upon truth upsets you this much thats a you problem.
