Remember when Germany lost the second world war, lost a third of its territory, had millions ethnically cleansed from said territory and then proceeded to not maintain a goal to wipe Poland off the map (again)?

If I recall correctly this was in direct response to British citizens being kidnapped and held hostage inside Gaza. These were intelligence sorties with the express aim to help locate UK citizens.
Literally hilarious.

I think experienced programmers underestimate how tricky it is to sort the deploying to cloud platforms bit for beginners.
Yeah. I'd say about 1/4 of my time on my new app has been spent on deployment-related stuff, rather than the app itself. And I'm not inexperienced with servers and cloud. It's a pretty big deal to integrate that stuff.

"Robot boots 30,000 feet above the ground" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
I guess those Russian drones in Ukraine aren’t military combatants then?
The UK might be flying spy planes outside it's airspace when it's citizens were kidnapped. That's not a "combatant". Was the UK a combatant when flying spy planes near the Ukraine border?
I think you are way off the mark based on reporting, I'm not even sure how you are coming to these stated opinions.

Returning land to the people it was brutally taken from is not “ethic cleansing”. The right of return is still valid.
While I agree that the land has been taken by force, unfortunately returning the land is no longer an acceptable option. The land of Israel has been developed in such a way that it has become completely different from what it was one century ago, and there is no doubt that its previous owners could have never succeeded to do a similar development, due to a combination of lacking both the financial means and the skill…

> Do you have the name or names of the person accused of 'attacking police with sledgehammers'? You should be less flippant. The accused's name is Samuel Corner. He and his friends are still on trial for their actions. Here's the bodycam footage where you see Samuel Corner attack police seargent Kate Evans with a sledgehammer while she was on the ground, fracturing her spine. Watch from 3m05s to 3m10s: https://www.yo…
The quote from the article continues. You cut it off. "It was me not really knowing what I was doing, I was trying to protect Leona, or Zoe. I couldn't tell who was screaming." "My friends were in danger and they [the police] were getting quite hands-on. "I remember just feeling like I had to help somehow. I would never think to do that to someone, I was just trying to help," he said. I don't have any opinion on this…
They were petulantly resisting arrest (it looks on camera to scream instead of just complying calmly) while committing destructive/violent crimes. The police were very restrained here. There was no danger from the police, at all.
Now a police officer doing their job has a spinal injury. Palestine Action says they will not stop doing 'direct action' (sabotage, property destruction, violence). They deserve the proscription.

At some point, all land has been taken either by direct force, or by the threat of force. All land, everywhere. It is NOT a natural right that anyone owns any land, nor that any countries exist. That is something everyone's ancestors fought each other for and created as a system of human society. Of course that's written in the past tense. Facing reality rather than the fantasy presented in history books and document…

Ashkenazis are Europeans.
> Ashkenazis are Europeans Okay? So are most American Jews. Most humans can legitimately claim ancestry to the Levant. It's the coast closest to the cradle of civilization. There is absolutely evil happening in Gaza. But pretending this is black-and-white, from an ocean away, is just alienating. It turns what should be a broad political discussion into a niche issue.
