I used to love playing breakout, solitaire, and the other games included in the old black and white iPods.

Extremely innovative design with great features.

Also interesting for podcasts accessible by subscription only.

Now try reading what’s written in Arabic.

macOS is a great app for that too but I think it’s a bit more of a hassle to use it for a desktop application.

Could you elaborate a bit?

People make and take illicit drugs all the time. What’s the difference here?

Negative Karma on a post means people cared enough about your writing to downvote it.

no matter what happened in this single incident

Who cares about the truth.

Sure the settlers violence has to be stopped. Israel used to be much better at this. The voluntary disengagement from Gaza demonstrated that it’s able to do it. They dragged settlers from their houses. The current extremists in government Smotrich and Gvir are the problem. They will be out next election.

Yes, during the Nakba around 700,000 Palestinians fled. It was a war and people flee during wars from fighting and danger. If you compare this to other wars from that era it was minor. Have you ever considered what would have happened to the Jews if the Arabs had won Israel’s war of independence? It certainly would have been worse than moving 50 km inside the same country. Did the Zionists seize the opportunity to change the demographics in their favor? Yes.

Irgun and Lehi were always a tiny minority of the Jewish militias. The Haganah always stressed defensive operations before the war started. If you want to go back to the Mandatory days, please also mention the Hebron massacre and Arab revolt among others. Hamas has been the major political party among Palestinians since Fatah became more moderate. The approval ratings for Hamas are very high as you can see on PCPSR polls. Irgun/Lehi we’re fringe like PIJ maybe.

A huge part of the land assigned to Israel in the UN partition plan was the Negev desert. So yes, the Jews got more land, but also the worse land: mosquito plagued swamps and empty desert.

Instead of accepting a Jewish state as a neighbor, the Arabs chose war, which they then lost. The 1949 armistice line (green line, aka 1967 borders) was explicitly not a recognized border because the Arabs didn’t want to accept Israel’s existence. This pattern of not being able to compromise or even negotiate and wage war then repeated over and over. As a reference see the three Noes from Khartoum: no peace, no recognition, no negotiation.

Palestinian political leadership has been terrible since the grand mufti Al-Husseini, who was Hitler’s buddy. His legacy of antisemitism can still be seen in Abu Mazen, who wrote his thesis on holocaust denial. Palestinians are now at 100 years of bad political decisions and are still on a trajectory to make it worse. Their cause might be just, but they suck at execution. Every chance at peace is discarded because of unrealistic goals and inability to let the past go.

The side effects you list are common for stimulants. Over time your body and mind gets used to them. It varies a lot between people what they can tolerate.

You have to make a trade off between desired effects and side effects for every medication.

Hmm, it seems to a bit unclear how the damage and risk is.

I don’t see a slippery slope here.

It could be argued that even drawn imagery can inspire and encourage later real world abuse.

October 7th does ring a bell, no?

Also several Israelis died due to rocket and small terrorist attacks.

Having a claim doesn’t mean they should get it, no questions asked. Germany has a claim to Alsace, East Prussia, Danzig, and so on. Competing claims over the same land or resource are a foundational issue in politics.

I don’t think Palestinians want a piece of Germany. They tried to take over Jordan, which was part of the British Mandate for Palestine for a while. Palestinians have a good claim to Jordan because of this history and the fact they they’re the majority population of Jordan.

I never talked about justice. The obsession with “justice” (destroy Israel) in this case only leads to more violence and suffering.

Making peace with your enemy and finding coexistence and reconciliation is the better goal.

You can look up polls here as to what Palestinians support politically. https://www.pcpsr.org/en

Funny how you think a genocidal Islamist terrorist group is somehow the good guys. Of course your reason is that Israel is the most evil country in the world.

You and what army?

Israel is less of an ethnostate than many other European and Asian countries.

Sharing the land in some kind of two state solution, federation, Emirates/Kanton system, is possible.

Israel would leave Lebanon alone if Hezbollah didn’t regularly attack. The Lebanon war in the 1980s only came about because of constant attacks against Israel from Lebanese soil.

Palestinians get more support than any similar group. Billions have been spent by the USA and Europe to build a state, economy, and peace. However Palestinians prefer to spend the money on pensions for terrorists instead of economic development and cooperation with their richest neighbor. The amount of support Palestinians get from the west is without equal.

Of course you go straight to an antisemitic Nazi comparison.
