Can the legislature be forced to follow the people’s mandate by law enforcement? We seriously need to pass laws that jail legislators who fail to act in a timely manner on the peoples will

98% of Palestinians are Sunni Muslims who support Sharia law. Show me the government of Palestine that doesn’t. They elected Hamas.

People like you easily blame all Americans for the actions of american government. You easily blame Israelis for the actions of Israel government. But you want zero responsibility for Palestinians for Palestinians government. Get over yourself, self-righteous hypocrite.

Sounds very cool. Thanks for sharing your experience with it.

This has the same energy as someone who says they want to drive a car less because it has seatbelts installed.

Like fine - its a useful tool that might prevent you being scammed which just displays information you can easily ignore- better run away.

I really like it, I got excited. But …can we please build some for sale units in walkable areas and not just rental units? This live-by-subscription bullshit is out of hand

Thats pretty interesting. Do you mind telling us rough numbers on time spent building and sale price? Did you set out to make something you thought you could sell or just end up selling it?

Kind of. I saw there were marketplaces like Xpiece, GitMarket, etc popping up and I’m wondering if anyone tried those or something like it. They don’t seem to be exactly branded as ‘template marketplaces’ like a lot of the old source code sites were, but maybe there’s no difference.

You can fuck off first, no one is forcing you to talk to me.

So pre-Nakba counts, but also doesn’t count.

Israel is to blame because they formed a state, which ‘set the stage’ for these events, and made them ‘colonizers’, but violence against jews pre-Israel was fine because they didn’t have a state so that violence was in the name of nationalism, not colonizing, so its ok violence

I have a ‘hateful little brain’ for bringing up events that happened in the time of ‘great-great-grandparents’, but Palestinians are justified in hanging on to land ownership rights from the times of their great-great-grandparents.

I’m a ‘hateful atheist’ for pointing out that people who identify as fundamentalist followers of violent ideologies are statistically more likely to kill not only each other, but secular people like me. I should do my best to elevate these people so they can have the opportunity to force their religion and culture on me next. (Real paradox of tolerance test there - also, did you read this as applying to only Palestinians who support Hamas? it also applies to Israelis who are zionist. )

I get that Israel is kicking the shit out of Gaza recently. I think you get that if Palestine had all the power, they’d be kicking the shit out of Israel. Its just that you think that would be justified because you’re a racist/bigot/insert one of your insults here.

I also get that Israel is shitty for killing kids in Gaza. Thats why fuck zionists / fuck Israel - they got the land they wanted, and they wouldn’t stop.

Religious bullshit never stops.

Lol all my comments make it clear I hate zionists. Fuck zionists.

So you admit there’s no single starting point for the conflict if pre-nakba events are taken into account, you just like to make an incredibly complex issue black and white to make yourself feel smart then? Its fine for Palestinian nationalists to take actions to expel jews from the region that became Israel, but because Israel formed a state to defend itself, they are in the wrong?

If neither side were fundamentalist shit heads trying to destroy their neighbors way of life, they wouldn’t have these problems. When Arabs were the majority with the power the killed and drove the jews out in the name of nationalism, now the Israelis do the same

And both groups disgust me, and would hurt and destroy my way of life if they had the power to do so. If pslestinian Arabs wanted to use the dhemmi system when they had power, what right do they have to insist equal treatment now? Bunch of hypocrites

The world would be better off if Jerusalem were wiped off the planet. Then no one gets it. Problem solved.

Sorry its just so rare to find someone who completely understands every aspect of a 100 year war and has all the answers.

So nothing that happened pre-Nakba matters, Amin al-Husseini and the attacks in the 1920’s don’t count because reasons?

spoken like someone who has never had religious nutjobs take over their government.

Then please point to the original aggression

When do you start the timeline though? The Palestine / Israel conflict has been going for 100 years right? Are you comfy saying Israel is the original aggressor?

Full disclosure: I dislike all fundamentalist religious societies. I don’t believe in holy land, and I think people on both sides are reaping what they’ve sown by insisting they are gods chosen people. So I’m not defending Israel, but I’m not defending Palestine (and especially Hamas) either.

I think calling it a socioeconomic war strips away all the context of the last 100ish years. These groups are fighting over who gets Jerusalem, because they believe it’s holy. The socioeconomic conditions in Palestine are the result of a long holy war that they are losing. Tell me I’m wrong.

They used to just say they were in favor of a Jewish state. Now that they have it, they say they need more Palestinian land so they take more land and say that when they do it, it’s holy.

Fuck zionists

steps down with a golden parachute, all the richer.

We need real consequences for greed that is ruining everyone’s lives.

Seriously, the news prints the headline as if the rest of the article doesn’t make it really clear this is a claim from nowhere.

Ironically, Finland uses an election system that was once proposed by Thomas Jefferson, ‘American Founding Father’ - the ‘Dhondt method’ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D’Hondt_method. (it was also independently re-invented by D’Hondt in Belgium)

I would think Americans may want to emulate that
