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.

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.

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.

Damn, maybe palestine should have accepted the two state plan in 1947 instead of trying to eliminate all Israeli Jews at the time.

Israel accepted it. Palestine started killing civilians. Then got their asses handed to them repeatedly.

Israel accepted the original plan to have an independent Palestinian state. Palestine rejected it and started the 1947 civil war in an attempt to exterminate the Jews living there.

Palestine wants the extermination of Israel. There’s no just leaving Palestine alone while Israel exists.

Israel agreed to the UN proposal for a Palestinian state and Israeli state, with Jerusalem being internationally administered.

Palestine rejected it, and the second the British mandate expired, attacked the Israelis with the help of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Iraq with the goal of exterminating them entirely.

About 3000 years of constant bloodshed and conquering.

It’s literally only Palestine that doesn’t back a two state solution.

Israel accepted the two state solution originally that gave Palestine all the territory they currently claim, and made Jerusalem an internationally controlled territory not owned by either state.

Palestine rejected it and started murdering civilians.

That wouldn’t be a body. A body is a corpse.

They would just say an unconscious woman if she were still alive.

There is no such thing as “their land” in that portion of the world. The little chunk of land has changed hands, extremely violently, hundreds of times. And Palestine was never a country to begin with. It was part of the Ottoman Empire for a few hundred years before the Brits took it after WWI and ruled it under mandate from the League of Nations.

The ottomans took it from the Mamluk Sultanate, who took it from the Ayyubid Dynasty, who took it from the Kingdom of Jerusalem, who took it from the Arabs in the first crusade, who took it from the Byzantine empire in the Muslim conquest, who took it from the Roman Empire, who took it from the Greeks, who took it from the Macedonians and Alexander the Great, who took it from the Persian Empire, who took it from the Babylonians, who took it from the Jews under the Kingdom of Judah, who was ruled by the Assyrians as a vassal state. With about 1000 different wars in between those where it changed hands.

The entire Levant has been conquered, divided up, split apart, conquered again, been part of empires where the entire levant was one region, and changed hands over and over and over again violently. Israel and Palestine have been part of Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, and Arabia over the years.

There’s no such thing as “giving them back their land”. Because there’s never really been an independent state there to begin with. Everyone that’s ever lived there took it by killing the people that lived there before them.
