Scams are widespread, especially on social media.

There’s also a long tradition of smaller organizations collecting money for Palestinian children, and then the money is funneled to Hamas.

If you want to donate, great, but be careful where you send your money. There are legitimate aid organizations as well.

Cadus does fantastic work in Gaza, Ukraine, and elsewhere. They don’t have such a huge overhead of promoters and admin like other organizations.

That’s not a credible human rights organization. HRW or Amnesty are credible.

Where did they get the information from?

Obscure self styled human rights organizations are often used to launder information and give it more credibility. This isn’t HRW, Amnesty, or B’Tselem. They aren’t perfect either, but more credible.

Mac Studio is a Mac mini with better cooling and better all around specs.

The trash can MacPro was kinda cool when introduced, but then they never bother to upgrade it.

You need the newest Qt alpha to compile it from source.

Apple would use a minimalist and confusing name like: Task

Overcomplicated is when you have a thick book for rules and spend an hour just to sort and setup all the different tokens, figures, cards, dice, etc.

That’s one of the better ideas in the paper. It could lead to lower willingness to go to war.

The user experience and user interface has suffered.

The MacPro line has been finally canceled after being neglected for years.

As a gesture of good faith Iran gets to keep the Uranium.

a whole generation of disposed Indians being ethnically cleansed.

Are you aware of the partition of India and how many people were displaced?

My parents received a lot o financial support in order to afford to buy an apartment for our family.

Neither my sister, nor myself has received similar financial support to buy a place to live in.

My parents instead live in a gigantic place they don’t use fully, and own several houses and apartments they rent out for profit. Of course none the real estate they own is anywhere near myself or my sister’s family. They also love to go on fancy expensive vacations all the time and complain about the younger generations. Of course they also get pensions from the companies they used to work for. Something that just doesn’t exist anymore.

There’s a lot of overlap between generational and class war.

The light blue splotches are lakes.

Probably related to dark winters, cloudy weather, low melanin levels, and genetic isolation on islands.

I’m just guessing the following:

Trade and shipping from the British isles across the North Sea to the Baltics also moved people along those routes.

The red center in Russia might be due to Viking settlement and establishment of Rus.

Blond and blue eyes have a high distribution around the Baltic Sea mostly due to similar reasons.

20% of Israeli citizens are not Jewish, most of them Palestinian Arabs (self identification and labels vary). They have equal rights, vote, have respected professions like judge or doctor and are doing well economically. Sure, there’s also some discrimination, however overall Israeli Arabs are the most free and among the most prosperous people in the region.

Israel is okay with an Arab minority. They can’t annex the West Bank and Gaza and give everyone citizenship without losing the majority. Having a country that’s majority Jewish is the whole point of Israel.

Many of the Palestinian Arabs immigrated at the same as the Jews.

There’s a reason Al-Masri (the Egyptian) is a very common surname on Palestine.

Zionism was proven correct by history.

Assimilation failed all over Europe pretty badly. Jews were expelled from Muslim countries after Israel was established.

Zionists were a minority among Jews pretty much until the non Zionists were killed in the Holocaust.

Many Jews were also into communism because of your idea of equality for all. That didn’t work out either. The Soviet Union persecuted and oppressed Jews. They even created a Jewish Oblast as a homeland in the middle of nowhere in Siberia. In the end they didn’t follow through with deporting all Jews there.

Everything you propose was tried repeatedly. It lead to further oppression and death for Jews.

Zionism was correct in its pessimistic analysis of the situation.

The Zionists accepted the Peel Partition Plan of 1937 and the UN partition plan of 1947. The Palestinian Arabs refused it.

The Zionists declared a Jewish state in 1948. The Palestinian Arabs did not declare a state of their own.

The West Bank was occupied and then annexed by the Kingdom of Jordan and it gave citizenship to all Palestinians living there. Gaza was occupied by Egypt, but not annexed.

Israel offered a state to the Palestinians several times in Camp David, Olmert 2008, Taba, etc. The Palestinian leadership refused those offers without a specific counter offer.

The Palestinians had several opportunities to get a state, but chose otherwise.

It’s necessary because people develop software with Macs.
