    this joke doesn’t really make sense to me. even if Israel didn’t exist in 2025, why would everyone have just forgotten about it, especially when it was such big international news in 2024, and furthermore, for the time traveller to be able to pinpoint the year as 2025, that would imply that in 2026, there also exists Israel. and if 2025 is the only year that someone would not know about Israel, then why would the time traveller ask that question, when it only serves to distinguish between 2025 and not-2025. like, just ask what year it is, what the fuck.
