Do something fun and nourishing in your free time.
Complex work projects will always suck in one way or another. Just accept it. Do what good you can. It’s all you can do.
Be kind to yourself. No need to hold on to unrealistic expectations.
Fossil scm does that
a whole generation of disposed Indians being ethnically cleansed.
Are you aware of the partition of India and how many people were displaced?
The light blue splotches are lakes.
Probably related to dark winters, cloudy weather, low melanin levels, and genetic isolation on islands.
I’m just guessing the following:
Trade and shipping from the British isles across the North Sea to the Baltics also moved people along those routes.
The red center in Russia might be due to Viking settlement and establishment of Rus.
Blond and blue eyes have a high distribution around the Baltic Sea mostly due to similar reasons.
This part isn’t mentioned much because it’s irrelevant fringe. Several locations were discussed at the time, only Palestine was practically viable. It has the huge advantage of having core historical and cultural significance to the Jewish people. “Next year in Jerusalem” is said at Passover and Yom Kippur, their most important festivals. There had also been a continuous Jewish population in the land.
Ethnostates are the default in Europe and there are many around the world. A common ethnicity, language, and culture creates cohesion and solidarity.
The multi-ethnic empire that came before that had their own issues.
People have a right to self determination. That includes the Jewish people.
It’s a fringe group. The author is also American and not a persecuted European Jew.
Most countries at the time didn’t want Jewish immigration or restricted it heavily. The USA sent ships full of Jewish refugees back to Europe during the Holocaust.
20% of Israeli citizens are not Jewish, most of them Palestinian Arabs (self identification and labels vary). They have equal rights, vote, have respected professions like judge or doctor and are doing well economically. Sure, there’s also some discrimination, however overall Israeli Arabs are the most free and among the most prosperous people in the region.
Israel is okay with an Arab minority. They can’t annex the West Bank and Gaza and give everyone citizenship without losing the majority. Having a country that’s majority Jewish is the whole point of Israel.
Because of antisemitism. The USA had strict quotas for Jewish immigration. There were ships full of Jewish refugees, that were refused entry and had to turn around. Many of those on the shops died later in the Holocaust.
The British also had put restrictions on Jewish immigration to the mandate of Palestine during the 1940s. Ships filled with Jewish refugees were forced to Cyprus where they were kept prisoner in camps.
During Israel’s war of independence in 1948, the USA had an arms embargo against it.
Yes, Palestinians are very close to Israeli Jews genetically.
Many Jews in Palestine converted to Christianity and later to Islam. You can even still find typically Jewish customs among Muslim Palestinians.
Many of the Palestinian Arabs immigrated at the same as the Jews.
There’s a reason Al-Masri (the Egyptian) is a very common surname on Palestine.
Zionism was proven correct by history.
Assimilation failed all over Europe pretty badly. Jews were expelled from Muslim countries after Israel was established.
Zionists were a minority among Jews pretty much until the non Zionists were killed in the Holocaust.
Many Jews were also into communism because of your idea of equality for all. That didn’t work out either. The Soviet Union persecuted and oppressed Jews. They even created a Jewish Oblast as a homeland in the middle of nowhere in Siberia. In the end they didn’t follow through with deporting all Jews there.
Everything you propose was tried repeatedly. It lead to further oppression and death for Jews.
Zionism was correct in its pessimistic analysis of the situation.
The idea of settling Jews in the land of their murderers is preposterous. How could Jews feel safe living right next to their killers?
It would also completely validate the antisemitic thoughts of Hitler, that he had fought the war against the Jews. Jews literally getting German territory after the war proves this.
The Zionists accepted the Peel Partition Plan of 1937 and the UN partition plan of 1947. The Palestinian Arabs refused it.
The Zionists declared a Jewish state in 1948. The Palestinian Arabs did not declare a state of their own.
The West Bank was occupied and then annexed by the Kingdom of Jordan and it gave citizenship to all Palestinians living there. Gaza was occupied by Egypt, but not annexed.
Israel offered a state to the Palestinians several times in Camp David, Olmert 2008, Taba, etc. The Palestinian leadership refused those offers without a specific counter offer.
The Palestinians had several opportunities to get a state, but chose otherwise.
It’s necessary because people develop software with Macs.
macOS just makes you jump through a hoop every time you run an application that’s not notarized.
In practice that means cross platform open source projects don’t want to pay money to join apple’s developer program and set up code singing and deal with certificates.
So after download an unsigned app, macOS refuses to start it until you go to system settings > security > and allow.
You have to do this again after every update.
It’s very annoying and does very little for security.
Scripts and aliases make this easy to set up.
What do you mean by natural? Do you want stateful APIs?
Systemd is more important than GNU.
