Right? Thats what “falling demand” should be attributed to. It’s a computer which will last years because of how capable it is. I’m not sure expecting people to upgrade computers year over year is the right metric for how well a product lineup is doing.

Apple Silicon chips are game changers, the rate of adoption is going to different compared to phones or a different product category however.

Al Jazeera is disagreeing and stating that it’s Israel. Sorry, Israel has the onus to disprove the claims considering they’ve bombed hospitals in the past.

No it doesn’t.

Oh I absolutely know what Israel is capable of if the last year alone (not even counting from the start of the occupation) an indication of how low they can go. I was just giving them the benefit of the doubt to try and maintain some sense of neutrality.

The shooting of Shireen Abuakleh, the killing of the Reuters journalist a few days back, the “settlers” killing and torturing people in the West Bank, the Al Aqsa instigations and “raids”, I mean, we’re not even at the tip of the iceberg here.

Was catching up on Al Jazeera English live stream on YT just now and apparently a bunch of Arab foreign ministers are saying the same thing with references to those deleted tweets before this whole Hamas blame game situation started.

I wouldn’t put this past Hamas, but IDF aren’t exactly saints either considering the fact that they are now blocking humanitarian aid from the Rafah border crossing, and are aiming for collective punishment.

Calling out Israel for its blatant disregard for human life isn’t a “pro-Hamas” stance.

This war uncovered the conventional one sided “reporting” by most big media outlets especially here in the US which was in favor of Israel, turning a blind eye to the blight of the Palestinian civilians. People called them out because of social media and media outlets changed their tune to be more “neutral” as a consequence.

Social media sucks and but one thing it’s extremely good at is disseminating information, good and bad, and it should be used with that in mind.

By comparison, that Atlantic “article” is paywalled and can’t even disseminate its point beyond the headline.

Lol.

Gotta agree with the other guy here. You’re sort of talking out of your ass. The ME en masse is allied with the US or can be an ally to the US if the US didn’t support Israel and took a neutral stance on the Palestine issue. Iran is the only place that is openly against the US but even they have shown the willingness to come to talks were the US had a policy more favorable to peace and stability in the region (ala Obama’s deal with Iran).

Look at all that Israeli money flowing in…

*IDF loves to murder.

600 children dead… and the warnings are still private… jfc.

Maybe if the governments capable of speaking up and de-escalating the situation in Gaza actually did so, people won’t be driven to extremes.

It’s not easy to do the right thing. It is however, easy to oppress those that don’t have power, and this is an example of it.

I’m not justifying anti-semitism, those people should absolutely be punished, but we can’t be tone deaf about how most governments allied with the West have become silent and aren’t willing do anything, let alone de-escalate the killing of innocent civilians.

Oh look another “enlightened” nation walking back on the right to free speech and protest when it doesn’t suit their agenda/political goals.

Honestly, what the fuck? Might as well be living under Russian or Chinese regimes at this point.

This is absolute defeatist hogwash and/or deflecting complicity in a genocide. The US can absolutely step in and de-escalate the situation. There’s nothing holding us back except our alliance with Israel. If the US moves to de-escalate, the rest of the West and the world, will follow.

This is fucking sickening. I don’t know how anybody and particularly our governments in the West can justify supporting Israel when they sort to tacts like these knowing full well they (Israel) have the upper hand, in terms of military arsenal and access to advance weaponry.

The West cannot call itself the bastion of human rights when all of that is ignored for people that need it the most in Gaza and Palestine.

Bunch of fucking hypocrites. It’s shameful and it’s pathetic.

That’s what Israel wants. They want Iran to get pulled in and then further justify asking the West for more military aid and “support” to launch another “war” in it’s “defense”. Fucking terrorist regime in power unfortunately for Palestinians and Israelis.

“Somebody doesn’t know how to use the three sea shells”

That was the point. When it impacts the West directly, the we in the West decide to make things about right and wrong and morals and cook up excuses to throw more and more money because it serves our interests. When it’s Palestine… we decide to throw all of that out of the window and decide fund Israel (the aggressor) instead.

Right, this was never a “war”, just atrocities and genocide.
