8·1 year agoExcellent write up! Israeli here. Everything you wrote is spot on. There’s obviously a lot more you didn’t cover, but it’s a good intro :D
14·1 year agoThe system is rigged against you. Any “gameable” aspect of the system which could be used to even the playing field is either regulated (ie you need a specific license) or billed in such as way to make it unprofitable (or at least transfer all the risk to you).
37·1 year agoor maybe they just believe in “from the river to the sea”.
The day the Palestinians puts down their weapons will be the day peace begins. The day Israel puts down their weapons will be the day all Israelis are massacred. That is the difference between the two sides - coexistence vs “from the river to the sea”. Don’t forget who started this war. Jews were already genocided once, so STFU while we defend ourselves after this latest attempt. Nobody else will protect us, so we’re doing it ourselves.

yeah nobody calls to “step in and end” anything for a sovereign country. Good luck trying to “step in” to China, Russia etc. Same for Israel. If you want to dissolve the military then you are welcome to go over there and give it a try.
1st of all, Hamas terrorist attacks also fall into that definition. Secondly, IDF has not targeted any "national, ethnical, racial or religious group”. IDF goals are to eliminate Hamas militants inside the Gaza strip. The general Gazan population was given weeks of advance notice and provided safe/r places to evacuate to. If 100% of the civilians had chosen to cooperate, and Hamas had not forcibly used them as human shields, then there would be no casualties. Clearly that is not a realistic scenario, but it’s important to understand the genocide definition requires intent . IDF is actually attempting to minimize casualties whenever possible. Unfortunately it often isn’t.
Israelis are disturbed by such behavior, the soldiers will be investigated and prosecuted if necessary.
Contrast that with the Gazans who danced in the streets and handed out candy while the dead bodies of Israeli children were being mutilated in front of their eyes by the Hamas terrorists
37·1 year agoLaptops are not long-term investments. Hardware innovation makes them obsolete almost as fast as phones. Whenever some new OS security feature comes out that depends on BIOS or chip capabilities then you need to swap motherboards (and often memory) which is the bulk of cost. Or when a new USB format comes out. Or whatever is the “flavor of the month” improvement in GPUs, Bluetooth connectivity etc. The only scenarios in which extensibility really makes sense would be SSD size, maybe battery or RAM. But if it costs double then you would be better off buying a new laptop now and then another in a few years, instead of paying up front for in order to “maybe” be able to swap some of the components later…
Atheism. Most of the atrocities in the world are driven by religion. As the saying goes “good people will do good, bad people will do bad. When good people do bad, there’s probably a religion involved”
Correction: escape routes are targets of Hamas who want to keep the civilian population in place as human shields.
Heartbreaking indeed, but just for the record- The road bomb which killed 70+ was from Hamas. They are literally bombing their own people, putting up roadblocks inside their cities, and confiscating people’s car keys to keep them in the area as human shields.
22·1 year agoIncorrect about the Israeli territory expansion - Gaza borders have not changed since 2005 at least. That is definitely an huge issue of contention in the west bank (I totally agree that Israel is out of line there, although many of the activities are in the gray area due to various legal issues complicating the land ownership definitions). The “creeping” settlements have all been there (same location and size) for 50 years or more. For example, Re’em (the kibbutz that hosted the music festival) was founded in 1949.
And it’s well documented that Hamas fires rockets from public buildings:

- https://www.timesofisrael.com/finnish-tv-rockets-fired-from-gaza-hospital/
Also, you put “music festivals” in italics as though that is some extreme example of… what?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli–Palestinian_peace_process - it’s pretty long, sorry. Lots of history, lots of failed negotiations
If you know enough history to be familiar with the “previous ones” then you know that that they could have gotten half of Israel’s territory in 1947 but instead they (the Arab nations) preferred to go to war to take it all. And they failed. And then again in 68, same story. BTW Israel has repeatedly offered to transfer control of Gaza to Egypt, the Egyptians have no interest in helping them out in any way. It’s more expedient for all the Arab world that Gaza remains a festering sore in Israel’s side - of course at the expense of the poor Palestinians who are stuck there. Even now, Egypt is unwilling to open it’s border for Palestinians who wish to flee the area. But it’s obviously more fashionable to blame Israel for creating a “concentration camp” even after all of that. No-other country in the region is willing to lift a finger to help them, yet you expect the most from the country which Gaza has sworn to destroy and attacks at every opportunity?
I doubt that you will be swayed by facts, but just for the record: in 2000 Israel offered Hamas to become a fully sovereign nation on 100% of Gaza’s territory (and 95% of the West Bank) with East Jerusalem as their capital. Hamas declined. In 2005 Israel voluntarily disengaged from Gaza and enabled self-rule, hoping this would be a step towards peace. It wasn’t. In 2011 there was another offer for a “two states for two peoples” solution, Hamas once again rejected it.
None of this is surprising since the Hamas is a fanatic Muslim group following the most militant tenets of Islam. Their publicly-stated charter is to utterly destroy Israel (“drive the jews into the sea”) and create a Muslim nation on the entire area of Palestine. So anything less than that is a non-starter. Any Jew left alive in Israel means that they haven’t finished yet.
Note that there’s nothing in the charter about the Palestinian people - The Hamas takes no civic or sovereign responsibility for the population which they govern. In other words, Hamas sees the Palestinian people as a consumable resource in their fight to bring Islam to 100% of the territory historically referred to as “Palestine”. So building tunnels under schools and hospitals is allowed. Diverting humanitarian aid to the military infrastructure while the population starves is fine. Indoctrinating children from kindergarten about the glory of killing Jews is standard procedure. etc. Using the Gaza residents as human shields is valuable both for reducing Hamas casualties as well as increasing collateral damage which makes Israel “look bad” in the international community.
Compromise is difficult because when negotiating with someone who wants you dead, how do you meet them halfway ?

Translation:
That’s it, the information is out. It’s so macabre that no one wanted to reveal it until they had 100% confirmation. Infants and children under 2 years old were beheaded by Hamas in the Kibbutz of Kfar Aza. It is a horror, a massacre. For those asking for the source. They are multiple: Israeli army, internal intelligence service and atrocious images which reached me and which I was able to cross-check. **But the best source remains this: courageous journalists from the foreign press who were able to see / agreed to see with their own eyes the bodies in Kfar Aza. **
But who are we kidding, you clearly aren’t going to let a few pesky facts get in the way of your agenda.
Its you who is straight up lyong brah
