Current prime minister, former and future prime minister, that's an irrelevant distinction here. Clearly the Israelis thought the Iraq war was in their interest, which is the original claim here, and is clearly evidenced by Israeli att

Netanyahu came before Congress in 2002 to strongly urge the invasion of Iraq. What universe are you living in?

I think you're completely right, and the fact that most people don't realize this makes me think that even most 'smart' people are pretty stupid when they have to think outside of what the media tells them.

If I were to say: 'I believe whites need to hold all authority in the United States, and must have a permanent demographic majority (for practical reasons, of course)' then you might call me a white supremacist. I might reply: &#x

Think about what you're saying. Zionism the idea that a particular ethnic group (the Jews) will have the authority to determine what happens in their country (Israel). That is a textbook case of ethnic supremacism. And that's not

Ridiculous. Most of the world has a negative view of Zionism, as they should, and ethnosupremacy in general.

Hi! I'm sure this is very cool, but want to know what this does before I try it. I typed in the chat: what does this do? Will you build me an agent behind a phone number I can chat with? And it tried to open up iMessage which I denied

None of these things are the most likely reason. The national security establishment doesn't want a Chinese-allied socialist state with a regime perceived to be hostile in South America, especially if its resource-rich. But the timing

Scaremongering about the PRC was just the public facing justification for the ban bill. Its not like they can just come out and say "The Israelis have me on tape violating children and so I need to pass this bill to let them take over

Mistral is pursuing pursuing B2B use cases. Thats because they're releasing open models and the big thing about B2B is they HATE sending their data off-prem. OCR'ing and organizing old docs is a huge feature in B2B. Mistral's

Does anyone actually not realize this was to stymie criticism of Israel? You Netanyahu bragging about how this is central to winning the propaganda war. Ellison is the biggest private donor to the IDF. Put it together.

Yes, the tyranny in Iraq was the US occupation, though I am merely using it as an example that an armed, civilian populace can resist military control, not commenting on the morality of the occupation. FWIW, Iraq was already well armed befo

Yes, because the idea is to establish an armed populace before society succumbs to tyranny, not in response to it. The central tenet is that even if a society is run by Quakers now, it won't always be, because in the absence of prope

All populations should be armed. The current democratic, liberal order in Europe is just a side effect of America's dominance, the same America that is the product of the revolution of a well armed population. Your counterpoint might b

by _menelaus 10mo ago
Don't you think the populace needs to be armed though? I think its a given that eventually the government will be intolerably corrupt and a revolution will be necessary. Nobody denies that less guns -> less shootings. The logic is t

If we can eliminate any hereditary diseases then this is great. Do any of you complainers understand how much misery this could save? Have you ever had a family member with a terminal, congenital disease?

That's great! What I'm talking about is a bit different though and might be a lot easier to deploy and work on much younger subjects: Put a tablet in front of a baby. Left half has images of gears and stuff, right half has images

I've done a ton of mobile gaze tracking. We never went for the most important application here: babies will preferentially look at different things on a screen if they predisposed to autism. A screening tool is the easiest thing to mak

I disagree completely. Its important to condemn terrorism and genocide on both sides. I have no tolerance for that. Its absurd to try to convince me to ignore this, or to try and excuse the IDF because the other side is bad too. Hamas is ba

The point is that Gaza receives a lot of attention because we (the West) are involved. And its especially emotional because our politicians have been corrupted and blackmailed into complicity by people like Miriam Adelson and Jeffrey Epstei

Yeah good catch on the first Prime Minister bit. But let's hear you try to whitewash the Deir Yassin massacre. Irgun were wicked.

Did you know that Menachim Begin, the first prime minister of Israel, was the leader of Irgun? 'As head of the Irgun, he targeted the British in Palestine,[3] with a notable attack being the King David Hotel bombing. Later, the Irgun f
