> gaza was both occupied by egypt and fenced off by egypt, unlike joran that annexed west bank. israel brought to gaza electricity, phones, sewage systems. built hospitals and schools. "global trends" do not make things happen.

Vice versa actually. The reputation and/or background of a source should not affect the criticism of the content. If the content of an article or video is good, the reputation of the source is not that relevant. Vice versa again, a out

The amount of revisionist history here is a bit absurd. Let us make it clear. Israel outright denied multiple partition maps. Israel had the advantage of being on the side designing the UN maps too. It is incredibly well known that most of

I want to seriously question what you mean by "History". The history I understand places blame on the British Empire and the neo Israeli State. My understanding of this situation is that terrorism is initiated by Islamic jihadists

I despise this kind of backlash. Everyone always says "Free speech, but not speech without consequence". But this kind of reactionary consequences are precisely why it's an issue. You don't actually have free speech, i

This would fall under the logical fallacy of attacking the character of the outlet, and not actually criticising the content. The content of the video that was linked, can be described as "in theory the universe was xyz so abc could ha

Ok, that is somewhat fair. My personal want / solution would simply be "everything gets an IPV6, and IPV4 gets deprecated. Everything using IPV4 gets an algorithm slapped on top to covert it into IPV6. Dynamic ips become a thing o

I've been on the receiving end of "Your" (dynamic) "IP has been blocked." I would greatly prefer not having my semi-randomized IP blocked because someone used it maliciously a year ago.

How does it not? Consider terrain such as the mountain ranges along the side of California. Or the entirety of Japan. Wheeled and tracked vehicles generally have problems in that terrain. Legged robots don't. Suddenly your troops inten

Yes actually, it would be. It would also depend on whether you have fine control over the size of the spacetime pothole. It is also possible that the larger nearby gravity well would pull on the pothole. I like to think that concepts such a

So this article is one of those pyramid scheme articles. Where they essentially say "quit your job, and just speculate on the housing market instead". What they don't tell you is that you are buying from the people who commis

The major difference here is that Amazon has major market power as an online mall. Like with the sears example, large 'mall' like organizations do outright steal designs and stonewall the original copyright holder. A random houseb

That would depend. As a buyer, you would need to decide for yourself whether you want a guaranteed working firearm or not. And in many cases, the owner will test fire the firearm before putting it on auction anyway. Old Martini Henri rifles
