No, no they could not lol. Not even remotely close.

The US spends $2 Billion a year on aid to Israel.

They spend $105 Billion a year in direct payments to SNAP (food stamps) recipients.

And $32 Billion a year on section 8 housing vouchers.

This one specifically is not real. It’s a composite.

But there are pictures like this taken from aircraft.

Idk about that. The jobs I get hit up for are all 225k-300k across various states.

The amount of tech recruiters I have calling and emailing me daily would indicate otherwise.

Right?

Seems more like a case of survivorship bias. AirTags get the news because they get caught more often than something like a Tile that does not alert people.

Republicans have funded the Green Party for a long time now at least. I wouldn’t be surprised if Dems were funding the libertarian party.

Lemmygrad and lemmy.ml we’re both started by the Lemmy devs themselves.

Samsung has 0 credibility here because they just use Google messages and Google’s Jibe implementation of RCS.

If Google drops Jibe for something else, it means Samsung is as well.

RCS isn’t really a standard anymore either. Once Google put out their own proprietary Jibe implementation, everyone just adopted that instead of putting in the work to implement it themselves. All the carriers in the US use Jibe as their RCS backend, and Samsung moved to using Google Messages as their default messenger. And all RCS messages go through Google servers.

If Google decides to do something else and drop Jibe, like they have with every other messaging service they have had, that’s it for RCS.

Yeah that whole 6 month difference in release between the two.

Hamas has already said it was directly backed by Iran.

Which isn’t really relevant because that fairy tale is the common thing that ties them together. That’s what a fucking ethnic group is. It’s not a race or anything.

An ethnicity or ethnic group is a grouping of people who identify with each other on the basis of perceived shared attributes that distinguish them from other groups. Those attributes can include a common nation of origin, or common sets of ancestry, traditions, language, history, society, religion, or social treatment.

Religion, ancestry, and tradition are the big things that join Arabs together as an ethnic group.

Depends on how long you go back. It was Israel/Judea for over 1000 years before the Arab Conquest forced Jews to be scattered to the winds in the first place.

Prior to the UN proposal it was a British territory. Before that it was part of the Ottoman Empire.

Palestine has never existed as an independent state.

According to the Abrahamic tradition, Arabs are descendants of Abraham through his son Ishmael.[73] Islamic sources state that Abraham brought Hagar and Ishmael to Mecca.[74] The 14th century Arab historian Ibn Kathir mention that the pre-Islamic Arabs considered Ishmael as their patriarch.

Tracing their lineage to Abraham and Ishmael is literally the common element that ties them together as an ethnic group.

It gets really into the weeds.

As an ethnic group, Arabs trace back to Abraham through his first son Ishmael from his concubine Hagar.

Jews trace back to Abraham through his son Isaac and grandson Jacob, who was renamed Israel.

Well it was WWI in the first place, and the levant was part of the Ottoman Empire which was part of the central powers and did take part in the war.

Palestine was never a country…

The entire levant was part of the Ottoman Empire.

New Jewish country? It was a Jewish nation first and Jews have lived there FAR longer than Arabs.

This is more like if the US lost WWII and the axis decided to give the Native Americans back their territories.

Palestine as a single nation didnt exist before the British mandate. It was territory owned by the Ottoman Empire after the conquered it from the Arab Mamluks in 1516. It was divided into 5 different sanjaks under the ottomans too, not a single district.

It’s a lot more like the division of Germany after WWII than anything. Or the breakup of Yugoslavia or the Soviet Union.

Jews have been living there for thousands of years, even during the periods of Muslim rule, and have as much right to call it home as well.

Maybe they should have accepted the two independent state proposal instead of attempting to eliminate all the Jews in the region.

Israel accepted the two state proposal by the UN which gave Palestinian Arabs all the land they currently claim and made Jerusalem a neutral territory. Palestine responded by having Egypt, Syria, Jordan, and Iraq invade and try to exterminate all Israeli Jews like they did in the Muslim conquest.

They all got their asses handed to them. Over and over again every time they’ve started shit.
