The apartments are also mixed in with amenities, such as a grocery store, restaurant, yoga studio and bicycle shop, that are usually separated from housing by strict city zoning laws.

Wait, it's actually forbidden in (much of) the US to have grocery stores etc. close to where people live? WTF?

Not even Hamas themselves are saying they were doing it in order to prevent loss of lives during the evacuation.

Meanwhile Hamas is telling people to stay and is actively stopping people from leaving. source

Yeah, that you posted an article from August to WorldNews only two days after the rapes and mass murders is just a coincidence.

So according to you, Palestinians have no more intellectual capacity, morality or self restraint than dogs? That's not racist at all. Also calling rapes and mass murder "not good behavior, but" is fucked up.

Isnt that also super important to include in this discussion?

It definitely is. I am arguing against comments that simplify a complex situation.

Sure Hamas is reacting violently, but that’s the only option they’re provided

I doubt it's the only option, others have had success against colonizers using different methods. And I also doubt that this violence is improving the situation of the Palestinians in any way.

You make it sound as if there wasn't any violence from Hamas & Co during all this. I don't think that's helpful in a discussion.

Where in this thread did someone "condemn the oppressed without regard for their oppression"?

Sometimes yes.

No one is denying that.

And idoubledo did not say aggressor. So what do we gain by fixating on this word?

At least in Germany many do.

So if Native Americans fired rockets on e.g. Corpus Christi, Texas, they would have no responsibility at all for this action?

I am not denying the responsibility of "the colonizers", I think other people can also have some responsibility.

I think the tragedy is that this goes both ways: if a group of people that just escaped a genocide, gets attacked by all its neighboring countries as soon as they have a state of their own, are explicitly threatened with extinction and are attacked over and over again by military actions and terrorist attacks... sometimes people will try to assert absolute dominance in order to try to ensure their own physical safety above everything else.

Note: I am very much not justifying any of the above. I just think that it's not very surprising that people act this way, and that Hamas & Co of course know this - just as the Israeli government & Co know how people react to their actions. In my opinion neither the Israeli government (and orthodox settlers etc.) nor the Hamas (and similar groups) are honestly trying to unfuck the situation.

Do you think only one side can be responsible in a conflict?

I love how it recommends paying Netflix, Disney etc. but does not mention libraries at all.

In 1995, Flux magazine ranked the game 39th on their Top 100 Video Games writing: "Without a doubt, the best platform game for the pc ever created." (Wikipedia)

Doesn't really sound like shovelware.

Like I said in my other replies: I am not attempting to skirt around JS. If TS is a superset of JS, it would obviously make no sense to try to avoid JS. What I'm looking for is a book/tutorial/... that is structured in a way that it teaches the most important parts the way they are used in TS (including JS) first.

Example: when functions are taught it would explain the basics of JS functions along with the parameter type annotations of TS, because that's the way functions are used in TS.

Please see my other replies.

Yes, and I would like to learn the tightened up version rightaway ;-) When I want to learn e.g. about functions, I want to have a chapter "Fundamentals of functions" or something (and probably another chapter for advanced stuff about functions, edge cases etc.). Right now it seems like I would have to first read about functions in a JS book without knowing how they will be used best in TS). And then I would take another book and read about the modifications that TS makes to them.

I get that in order to "fully understand" TS I need to "fully understand" JS. But in the beginning I would like something that explains the core concepts of TS (which of course may and often will include JS concepts).

I know TS doesn't remove that much from JS, but I expect the typing, structuring etc. to prevent some behavior that can occur in JS - otherwise what would be the point of e.g. the typing system? So that are the parts I don't need to learn (at least not at first).

I think an important point for me is that I'd rather learn "from a TS perspective", that is starting with best practices and common use cases as they appear in a TS environment. Right now it sounds to me that the usual way would be to read some JS book, where I learn e.g. about functions or objects. And then I would read another book with all the modifications that TS makes to e.g. functions or objects.
