For all the people still in denial, that is a genocide slogan.

All you need to do is listen to actual Palestinians in Palestine instead of anonymous blogs.

Like a survey conducted by Palestine’s Birzeit University’s Arab World for Research & Development (AWRAD)

Literally 75% of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza choose it as the explicit genocide option on a survey that Includes one state for two people as an option. This is a poll done by a Palestinian university in the west bank after the start of the war, claiming its Israeli propaganda would be pretty stupid. All the US congress did was assert to the public what the meaning is to a super majority of Palestinians in Palestine. The diaspora pushing a different narrative never speaks up when the crowds chant the Arabic version that ends in “Palestine will be Arab” (or “Palestine is Arab”).

Here’s a very real lived experience for you: anyone can go to the Western Wall in Jerusalem, the 2nd most holy Jewish site with a security check. Anyone can go to the major Christian sites. Only Muslims are officially allowed to go to the Temple Mount, the first most holy Jewish site.

Most schools are integrated. There’s no seperate busses or restrictions.

America has issues with home owners associations too. It also has religious schools. Ever hear about redlining or looking at a ethnicity map of a city like Chicago or Detroit?

Israeli Arab travel is not restricted inside of Israel. You are probably thinking of the west bank.

Btw Israeli jews aren’t allowed into parts of the west bank and Jerusalem either.

The gas lighting is intense. The charitable take that people are ignorant just says a lot about their knowledge of the region and the conflict.

'48 Palestinians in Israel also are full citizens https://www.timesofisrael.com/amid-war-poll-finds-arab-israelis-sense-of-kinship-with-state-at-a-20-year-high/ their situation has vastly improved and labeling it apartheid is ignorance. That label can only apply to Gaza and the West Bank and arguably then even when compared with actual apartheid. There are Arabs in parliament, on the Supreme Court, and in the highest ranks of the IDF. Like fuck, Benny Gantz, one of the three ministers in the war cabinet, was shit talking in Arabic during the ceasefire because Israelis learn Arabic in school too. A significant number of the troops killed in Gaza are Druze, another minority Abrahamic faith that speaks Arabic with a large minority population in Israel. Highest standard of living for their minority in the region. There’s a movement since the war started to enshrine them in Israel’s Basic Law (constitution).

Two five star hotels isn’t something you find in a prison.

Also 70% of jews in Israel, half the population are native jews not Europeans of any kind.

Of the 20% Arab population, as many that live in Gaza, 70% identify with Israel over Palestine. A historic high that increased after weeks of war. Calling them colonizers is inaccurate and insulting levels of racism.

The life expectancy in Gaza was actually 75 years, whatever 40 number you saw is misinformation. They had an average amount of hospitals and medical clinics per capita. There’s a lot of kids because people have a lot of kids. Why the population has ballooned.

They also managed to get phones and other resources in. Almost like it wasn’t really a full blockade. Lots would go to work in Israel before the latest war.

I don’t know of anything that documents it as well as reading the literal mailing list responses at each time it became relevant.

But the actual development story isn’t that interesting other than when some extremely unprofessional behavior from a lot of parties occurred.

Like actual piss baby anti social nerd shit.

It’s a bit old, but Bcachefs did get merged into 6.7

They can actually issue stock at the market rate to finance shit.

I can’t get an electrician and contractor to come install one (as an AC mainly) inside of 6 months, and I’ve been trying to find one for 6 months.

The heat is actually killing me I can’t sleep and have other health problems. I brought a dual hose unit from the US with me I’m running on a voltage converter and it’s the only thing keeping my apartment livable.

It’s functionally a way to communicate happiness with the service.

The restaurants I am a regular at know if I don’t leave a fat tip I wasn’t happy with how they performed. Waiting 20+ minutes just to pay is unacceptable to give a recent example. They were understaffed and some old dude In the attached hotel insisted on print out copies of his reservation details that he then argued about. I could have paid, cash or card, and been out in under a minute while this dude was reading his papers but instead I just sat there for almost half an hour after finishing my meal.

Should they still get paid unlike in the American system? Yes. But I’m fine with tipping as a general concept. In Germany we call it Trinkgeld and it’s usually 10%, and not exactly a thing you are expected to do every time you eat out, but I usually do 20%+ if I was satisfied.

I moved to Europe, grew up in New York near the City and decided to get a moped here to commute. It’s roughly equivalent to an Ebike but was actually cheaper than one and has a 100km range. It’s not highway legal as it has a top speed of 45km/h but can go on bike paths as long as I watch the speed.

After 3 months since I got the moped I am going to get a car because FUCK going to the office in the rain with that thing. The trains and/or busses go on strike about once a month, maybe a little less, and between delays and cancelations I can’t rely on them for my commute. I’ve literally been waiting for the bus and the driver just decides not to stop to pick me up too. Also packages don’t get reliably dropped off at my front door so I need to go into town or to the supermarket next to the highway to pick up my things which becomes untenable when they are bulky. Instead I’m taking taxis at a cost of €30 each way just to pick up shit that should be left at my door.

The dissonance is strong, I still need a car, and I still need one big enough to move bulky crap at least once a month if not more.

And before someone says rent a car, it’s €70+ a day to do so here and I have a preferred account through my employer. I need to book it in advance so it’s not a “same day” thing. Oh and the places they drop the packages off have weird fucking opening times and are often closed when they should be open so I’ve literally spent €60 on taxis to come home with nothing. That time the seller did me a solid and refunded me the €60 as an apology (it was a €350 item).
