That's a neat phrase. Did you come up with it?

Both reported numbers that were nowhere close to what Qualcomm promised. How not close? Above 50% this time but one used the term “Celeron” to describe performance.

There is no harsher way to describe the performance of a CPU. Ouch.

Israel isn't a dictatorship. Yes, I know that Netanyahu is trying to erode democracy, but he hasn't been successful.

Looks like China only sold reproduction antiques to Israel:

Which makes sense. China isn't producing any weapons systems that Israel would want - they can either make far superior ones themselves, buy them or get them from the US.

Given how much they are still whining about other Western sanctions, especially those covering high tech China cannot reproduce, I don't think they'll be all that relaxed about it.

They didn't bomb the Iranian embassy. Consider reading into where the bomb fell and who was killed.

There's not even remotely a consensus within Israel for new settlements in the strip. I consider this highly unlikely. Yes, some extremist settlers and associated building companies are hungry for it, because of course they are, but this doesn't mean things will be going their way.

You can't be seriously asking this in good faith.

Merci.

Hamas went all in hoping that once all of the other Muslim nations saw their merry slaughter of Jews, they would happily and immediately join in and attack Israel from all sides to complete the attempted genocide. They forgot about or chose to ignore a few things:

Israel has nukes and would use them if they felt fundamentally threatened, Israel has conventionally defeated every army that has ever attacked them (if sometimes by the skin of their teeth), has made reluctant, but reliable allies out of some of their former enemies and crippled others. Hamas didn't consider that Biden would protect Israel and fully commit to it, they kept the preparations for their attack so secret that only Tehran and Moscow knew about them, but crucially not Hezbollah (which ended up being muzzled by the American carrier groups anyway) and they gave nobody the necessary heads up for the months of buildup required for a full on war, because that would have given the whole thing away. While Hamas skillfully (with Russian and Iranian help) overcame the border defenses, they wasted the element of surprise on random carnage instead of overrunning the same airfields that have since been launching thousands of sorties that are, day by day, obliterating their organization.

And so on and so forth. The entire idea was foolish from the start and had no chance of success. Not that Moscow and Tehran expected any. They just used Hamas as pawns, hoping to weaken the US with this conflict. It's the standard zero sum game that autocrats love to play so much.

Would you mind providing the source of this visualization so that I can read further into this? Thanks!

That's not what I said and you know that.

Hamas killed soldiers so that they would free to go on their rampage against civilians. Israel accidentally kills civilians as they are trying to fight an enemy that hides behind them and camouflages themselves as civilians precisely to blur the lines between civilians and soldiers. That's the difference between the two.

I've watched that beheading and worse things. I wish I hadn't. Imagine having the audacity of calling Hamas saints by comparison. What a despicable and inane thing to do.

Hamas have repeatedly demanded security guarantees for their leadership, not just a prisoner to hostage exchange. Hamas have demanded that captured October 7 terrorists be returned. It should be pretty obvious that Israel can not do either of those things. Hamas have also admitted that they don't even know the whereabouts of all of their hostages. Survivors have described routine sexual abuse of female hostages in particular, which Hamas is particularly hesitant to release. Hamas have continuously made smaller proposals, which were then accepted by Israel, only for Hamas to then suddenly refuse to agree.

But continue blaming Israel on this war that Hamas started and continues to escalate.

I'm not American. You criticized me for making an assumption about people by making an assumption about me.

Also, is it really that unreasonable to ask of people to look up what they are shouting? To have even a passing knowledge of what they decided to protest for or against?

Hamas was also not in power back then, in no position to accept or reject any solution.

Here's a fun game: Ask people who shout "From the river to the sea" which river and which see are meant and what this statement implies. The results are unsurprising.

That's why they have almost five times the population now compared to 1960. Contrast this to to Israel, which has only four times the population it had back then.

Notice how population growth is accelerating. How does that make any sense?

What is it with your constant attempts at whitewashing Hamas? There were four alerts in Israel due to rockets launched from Gaza on that same day.
