"Look at Ukraine when you vote, do you want to end like them ?"
Do you condemn american natives who attacked settlers ? There are no innocents in a settler colonial project, that's like calling a card-carrying member of the Nazi party an innocent.
The native jews are a very small minority. Most of those "innocent" chose to be there and partake in this genocidal apartheid state.
Israel has no right to self defence, because it has no right to exist. If the Jews have to have a state (which isn't necessarily a good thing as it gave European countries an excuse to not tolerate them as they could always "go back home"), why not put that state in Germany ? You know, a country that actually did something to them.
On the other hand, the UN recognized the right of the Palestian people to fight against the Israeli occupation, which was explicitly described as an apartheid state on the same level as South Africa at the time.
You have no idea how history work. How do you think anti-colonial partisans all around the world were treated by the occupying press ? It's never "people legitimately fighting for their country", always "unjustified targeting of 'civilians' and 'state officials'".
Israel isn't there to protect Jews or any such fantasies. Jews lived in Palestine before the colonial project, and they will continue to live there after it.
A planned economy ideally, even if that would hardly be immediately doable for most first world countries, as they lack any actual industrial capacity. If all useless jobs were to disappear overnight, most of the population would end up unemployed. In addition a lot of the "economy" of first world countries comes from abusive monetary relationships with third world countries, wish should obviously be ended as soon as possible.
Therefore a transitionary period would be needed, during which we would reindustrialize and develop some level of self-sufficiency. That last part might be less important for the US, as they're unlikely to get sanctioned by themselves.
Eventually a planned economy allows for production for use instead of for sale, providing to each according to their needs, and requiring work according to their abilities.
There's something like that in Pathfinder. Not with a warlock, but a separate class named the kineticist. Basically an elementalist who uses CON as his spellcasting stat, and who's attack reduce his max HP. You could take a look at it for balance, but be aware that the class doesn't use normal spells, so it might be tricky.
Otherwise I also know the Blood Mage sub-class in the Pillars of Eternity game, where you have an ability to cause damage to yourself in exchange for spell slots. The amount of damage you cause to yourself equals the level of spell slot your recover. It's powerful, but not as overpowered as one might due to how the system is designed. Basically you use the same stat for single target attacks and for your special ability, meaning that if it's too high you're quickly gonna kill yourself.
I think the max HP reduction is the way to go, so as to avoid balance issues with healing. That's if you want your class to still have limited spells in the same vein as normal spellcasters, just using health instead. I seriously recommend to take a look at Pathfinder's kineticist. It's a very weird class, but I think it may fit what you're looking for.
Amazing, and the US is even gonna pay for it !
The next level is banishing the Jewish community to avoid repaying your debts as a king.
