Is it possible that quantum entanglement could play a role here? Is travel actually necessary for information transfer? Obviously I know little to nothing about such things.

I assume this is fresh water pumped into Gaza. What of the desalination plants? Cutting off all fuel surely ensures that that water source is also cut off. I would not be surprised to learn that this infrastructure has been targeted for des

I think the comment you replied to was pointing out that Iran had a democratically elected government until the 1953 coup instigated by the U.S. and Britain. Their paranoia is not without reason.

They can win just as so many others have in the past - outlasting the resolve of the U.S. I think that the best that can be hoped for here (from the U.S. perspective) is to diminish the Houthi's capacity to launch missiles and drones u

That won't stop the hostilities. Israel has two stated objectives: free the hostages and eliminate Hamas. The Israeli government is very unlikely to agree to a ceasefire in return for the hostages.

I may have missed it, but the failure of any western leaders to publicly acknowledge the Houthi's stated reasons for their actions (and by extension their demands) is conspicuous.

Sailed from Africa? I always thought they crossed the Torres Strait. On a related note, something that has always intrigued me is why there is no historical record of Polynesian arrival on the east coast of Australia.

> Hamas is a terrorist organization You seem to be making the mistake that many do and conflating Hamas with the Palestinian people. The article is not about posts in support of Hamas.

A thoroughly interesting (and at times very funny) presentation about modern urban design in North America. Does a good job of highlighting how regulations essentially ensure poor design choices. This was recorded over 30 years ago.

I appreciate your good faith here. I'd just like to add that this highlights an issue that comes up again and again in highly charged topics: impressions so easily overshadow facts and many people put a lot of effort into propagating i

I don't think this is really relevant when we are talking about over 20,000 bombs. Not to be facetious, but if I were to drop 1,000 bombs on a village of 100 people, killing them all, it hardly matters that I can claim my 'kill ra

Thanks. The assumptions I am working on: - 18,000 Palestinians have lost their lives - Gazan health authority figures are in the realms of reality given numbers reported compared with numbers confirmed in past conflicts (my inclination here

Given that you're in NZ, one place that I could recommend doing this would be the Abel Tasman track. It gets very busy during peak season but there are definitely times that it is much less crowded and the weather is still good (the la

The Rafah crossing is one of about half a dozen border crossings in Gaza. Is it really so out of the question that Israel allow civilians to seek refuge within Israel while they wage their campaign? I am fully aware that it would be politic
