That Israel is not a colonial state. All it's founders defined it as a European colonial project. It was and is allied with all the colonial powers and projects like Britain, the US, apartheid south Africa, and Rhodesia. Its funding association was called the Palestine Jewish colonization association. It's bank was called the Jewish colonial trust. The Jewish national fund and the Zionist project at large was from the beginning concerned with building segregated colonies.

First, lands were bought with foreign funding from feudal land lords, and their inhabitants were entirely dispossessed, kicked out. Then when awareness of the ultimate goals of the Zionist project crystalized and resistance against Palestinian dispossession mounted, the lands were ethnically cleansed by force and the people massacred. 700 to 800 thousand Palestinians were ethnically cleansed in one continuous military operation that spanned two years from 1947 to 1948.

Zionist leaders fully acknowledged that Palestinian demographics were a core issue to the Zionist project, that the Palestinian population had to be removed at any cost, which is exactly what Israel did. What lead to the Palestinians being defenseless in this situation? Colonial Britain abetted the formation of heavily armed Zionist militias with soldiers numbering in the tens of thousands. The arms of Britain's colonial military presence were inherited by the Zionist forces that it supported. All this while Britain summarily excecuted any Palestinian found in possession of a firearm.

This is not to mention the enthusiastic support of european antisemites for the Zionist project, or its strict early opposition by antifascist jews.

The idea that Israel has any right to exist on Palestinian land is a lie that has been so heavily proliferated, it has to be debunked when it should be paid no consideration at all.

Traditional with mice, natural with touchpads.

Interesting story, I used traditional scrolling with touchpads all my life until I spent three years exclusively using a desktop. Came out of it suddenly rewired to scroll like I do on my phone.

Indifference about genocide is not just unacceptable, it's evil, you piece of shit.

The US has decided to militarily occupy the coast of Gaza.

Here in Palestine people drive bikes the most in the hottest city, Jericho. It reaches 40 degrees there. An ebike would make you get less hot from exertion. In combination with good urban planning with small streets and trees and buildings creating lots of shade it's workable. It's not sustainable to have air conditioned cars transport people everywhere. This is what living in a hot climate means.

Wrong. The only source for that claim is the idf. Doctors who received the wounded said 80% had gunshot wounds.

Streaming allowed me to discover 1700 songs that I love. It gave me the opportunity to enjoy countless genres. Now I export my liked songs to a spreadsheet so I never lose them. I wouldn't be able to do that otherwise. It's done great things for my music listening.

with microsoft fonts installed I actually found that libreoffice displayed the docx file I wanted to edit better than onlyoffice.

Israel didn't ditch or disobey America's commands in any meaningful sense. The idea that America is trying to keep Israel under control while it's commiting this genocide is propaganda. That is not what's happening. The US is not issuing commands that Israel is disobeying. What it's doing is directly giving Israel the tools to commit this genocide. It wouldn't be able to without the US's current actions.

Yep, I'm working through the review. He's a contributor though not a maintainer.

Fortunately they can't do anything about it.

Actually it means raping brutalizing and killing civilians in territory where you are not welcome

Cycling as a societal mode of transport deprives capitalist automakers, oil companies, banks, and insurance companies of immense income. The right wing is extremely fervently capitalist and defends the capitalist class maniacally. That is why they defend harmful societal planning that funnels wealth to the capitalist class.

For me this is Gnome with the pop shell extension. It's so much better than plain i3 in usability and just as good with tiling. Using i3 for years made me appreciate the value of a proper modern desktop environment.

They do see it. They know. They're enacting this genocide because they want to. The US government is and always has been genocidal.

Hamas offered the release of the prisoners in exchange for permanent ceasefire ages ago. Israel refused because it would rather genocide Palestinians than get its prisoners back.

This is not to mention that what you are describing is a crime against humanity and an act of genocide.

What do you think that video shows? It does not show Palestinian fighters shooting civilians indiscriminately. It does show a scene of the aftermath of israeli fire on its own civilians' vehicles. It does not show Palestinian fighters doing anything outside of their legal rights.

Snapdragon is a type of flower. It's a lovely name in my opinion.
