      No, this guy will.

      Janeway’s been sent to “monitor” the situation with 2 starships though.

    Does Bajoran come before or after Brazilian? Hundreds, thousands, millions, billions, trillions, Bajorans, Brazilians, bajillions?

    Is there even anything after a bajillion?

    Equating Israelites to the space Nazis is a bit harsh and also ironic, isn’t it?

      The intent was to portray Netanyahu as Dukat, not to disparage a nationality. But yes, the irony is dangerously sharp.

        I see. I agree that the middle east would very very likely be far better off without Netanyahu. It’s just that so many people seem to oversimplify the situation -for one side or the other- and I’m somewhat wary of that.

          Risa is a safe place. I would hope that a Star Trek fan is capable of understanding nuance.

      DS9 writers modeled the Cardassian occupation of Bajor (in part) after the Israeli occupation of Gaza. The book A Different Trek goes into detail if you want direct sources and a fuller discussion of how the Jewish-American writers and actors involved with the show didn’t think it was “ironic” as you put it.

        Interesting, I’ll have to look into that. So far, I have rather identified Bajorans as the “space jews” and Cardassians as the “space nazis”.
