Not to do OP’s homework, but no. Both the anime & manga utterly believed Zion would still be apartheing Palestine. We are playing out a 40 year old prediction to a damned T.
And non of your parents or you did anything to deter it.
Comment on GiTS 2026 censored Israel to the fictional country of Ghorantl

Dont know the context in which Israel gets mentioned in the original or Ghorantl in the new anime. Could you maybe fill me in on that?
Besides that, my hopeful interpretation is that the creators dont believe Israel would (still) exist in tga universe

Like, do you know me or why do make such claims? Feels a little unnecessary.

It’s rhetorical. Like telling someone watching an open flame “don’t touch it, you’ll burn yourself!” and they still do it anyways.
I don’t know you. I don’t know if you are a ghost, hacker, android, politician, child trafficked slave, cop, [insert all examples in GitS], etc.. The machinations predictions in a work of fiction are becoming exceedly true. Are 🫵you going to do anything about it?

Thank you. So the manga is critical of Israel, which is a part of the original story they removed from the new anime. No place for critical art in capitalism, sadly.

To be fair they did hint who they are in the name Ghorantl or Golantoru: Israel (Golan Heights), toru means to take. Meaning take Golan Heights.
