Twitter want vertical integration. They're not quite sure what they can do with it, but they know any hope of monetization is lost if all they are doing is providing a backend for third party clients.

The business model is broken, the monetization prospects aren't there, and ultimately, Twitter is a fad.

Is there a humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip? No. Israel provides the residents of the Strip with food, water, electricity, medical supplies, etc. The residents respond with rockets aimed at Israeli civilians.

The comments about how easy it is to avoid targets are in response to those making farcical claims about the density population of the Gaza Strip, and suggesting it is impossible for civilians to escape the conflict. Israel are engaged in a

This isn't carpet-bombing. Israel are only engaging in pinpoint strikes on legitimate military targets. Where should citizens run? Around 100m away from any rocket manufacturing, storage or launch site should be sufficient. That means most

It's a large-scale armed conflict. Civilians are going to get caught in the crossfire. Alas, it's a strange sort of conflict in which one side deliberately targets civilians, while the other does everything humanly possible to avoid them.

There are both dense and sparsely populated areas of the Strip. Israel are not carpet-bombing the area, they are performing pinpoint strikes on legitimate military targets. As a civilian, it is not difficult to avoid those targets.

by aes256 14y ago
Heavy bombing of densely populated areas? It's rather simple. As a general rule, civilians in the Gaza Strip know if they are near a target. You don't live next to a rocket manufacturing, storage or launch site without knowing about it. The
