It is the paradox that Israel was meant to be a safe haven for the Jews of the world. Now, conversely, Israel's actions are creating insecurity for Jews in many countries.
The Israeli army's actions provoked counter-demonstrations in many countries, from New York to Berlin and Istanbul. The Israel Paradox is at work again.

Get the Complainer's Paradox mug.The Poe Paradox is a corollary to Poe's Law. It states that:
"In any fundamentalist group where Poe's Law applies, a paradox exists where any new person (or idea) sufficiently fundamentalist to be accepted by the group, is likely to be so ridiculous that they risk being rejected as a parodist (or parody)."
The term was first used by RationalWiki editor The Lay Scientist to describe an apparent paradox in the management of editing rights at Conservapedia:

The 968 Paradox originates from the devil’s number "666" and resembles how the opposite of it "999" (the positive) and itself come together (when overlapped) to create “8” : the number of infinity as respected in many cultures worldwide.
The 968 Paradox represents the paradoxical nature of positivity and negativity, and how they provoke and complete each other in the universal balance of life.
