Independence Day?

Why should Israel give back land they got in a defensive war? Don't wanna lose land? don't start a war

"Hey, we tried to genocide you, but we lost. It's only fair if we get to keep everything and suffer no consequences"

> The Oslo Accords do not flatly ban new settlements. They envisioned the transfer of Area C to the Palestinians over time.

Which obviously would be made much harder if not outright impossible (as we've seen today) with new settlements being constructed there. You cannot honestly tell me Israel was following the intent of the Agreement when it allowed tens of thousands of its own citizens to build settlements outside its sovereign borders and in land it had agreed would be transferred to another sovereign government

>Circumstances in Gaza caused Israel to reverse course on unilateral uprooting of settlements without a peace deal.

What circumstances justify settling tens of thousands of your own citizens outside of your sovereign territory against international law? And don't say security reasons because by God if they were that worried about security they wouldn't be settling there in the first place.

No the intent is clearly to settle permanently in the the West Bank and to fight whatever fight needs to be fought to stay there

Weren't there reports of extreme turbulence in the area?? I know there's a certain YouTuber out there talking about spatial disorientation but I think this is leaning more to the plane just falling out of the sky due to something failing mechanically. They found the tail horizontal stabilizer about 3/4 of a mile from the airplane along with part of the right wing.

Edit*

If you look at the flight data, he was flying straight and climbing before the right hand turn into the dive. It seemed to me that a mechanical issue might have caused loss of control which then caused additional breakage aka that right wing tip. There is a weird right turn left. Turn correction but at that point he starts climbing for quite a distance before the issue seems to happen. Therefore, leading me to believe that it wasn't necessarily spatial disorientation but mechanical failure. I'm no way educated to make this guess.

Israel did not establish Esh Kodesh. It was founded by a small group of pariahs acting in violation of Israeli law. But granted they are protected by the Israeli army and you could say Israel implicitly approves it by not dismantling it. Which is a fair argument.

The Oslo Accords do not flatly ban new settlements. They envisioned the transfer of Area C to the Palestinians over time. Which started in 2005 when several West Bank settlements were uprooted and a couple of years later when Olmert offered the Palestinians 100% of the West Bank with land swaps. Circumstances in Gaza caused Israel to reverse course on unilateral uprooting of settlements without a peace deal.

> He stopped himself... from being hit when the driver returned.

Demonstrably false, according to the article. The driver not hitting him was why he was able to shoot in the first place.

> He stopped... others from being hit when the driver returned.

Demonstrably false, according to the article. There were no others with them.

Millions of supporters? There are that many GOP politicians?

Yeah. But if you watch the whole video, this captain had a lot of issues with following the rules and handling incidents well.

Sure the Palestinians are all to blame.

Luckily Israel, being a supposedly democratic nation state, has not targeted local and foreign media with kill squads, they never summarily executed hundreds of civilians for no other reason than being in the way of an illegal building project, and certainly never killed Palestinians for objecting to being beaten to death by Israeli settlers.

So it's all Palestinians that is to blame, Israel did nothing to purposely create more violence for political points, like targeting schools with the most blatanly made up excuses.

Damn that’s a rough mistake to make

I've been driving for a number of years. I've seen people doing their makeup, eating, trimming their fingernails, shaving, and reading (all before self driving cars were a possibility). And of course, drunk, drugged, driving while exhausted, or texting are all a possibility.

It is unlikely that the truck driver drove into the cyclists without at least knowing that they were there, but there is a possibility that he was just unfit to operate a motor vehicle.

Edit: just to add ... as a cyclist, I've been pushed off the road by drivers, and I've had a tanker truck blow their horn at me while passing mere inches from my handlebars at 60mph ... fuck cars, but I'd like to hope that most drivers aren't out to kill us for not driving.

Different incident.

You're just going to paste this useless article over and over, regardless of the context of who you're responding to?

> Which of those countries have signed treaties with Israel?

Egypt and Jordan. Why are you asking me questions about basic facts? You're tacitly admitting your opinion is uninformed if you don't know this.

>During the War of Independence the Arabs captured land without permission, should they have returned it to Israel?

I don't know what you're talking about. Israel has control of all territory it controlled at the start of the 1948 war

If we had that option here it would create a better quality of life in the healthcare sector. Instead the Ontario provincial government implemented a bill that capped wage raises to <1% in a time of a global pandemic. This caused a lot of nurses to quit and strained the healthcare even more.

> Driver hits cyclist and in retaliation another cyclist shoots driver. Didn’t stop the cyclist from getting hit.

Nothing about this changed in the 2nd article.

> Downvote away

OK.

That’s it how it’s done.

Shit like this really drives home the fact that we need to take some serious looks at our drivers license laws and requirements.

Specifically in AZ where this took place, the standard license doesnt expire for what feels like forever. My drivers license, as an example, is good through 2060. I have friends who have licenses that dont expire until 2065.

While cars are generally getting safer, many are also getting substantially heavier, especially as electric vehicles push into the market. It is batshit crazy to me that you dont need a commercial license (or a special license of some sort) to drive something like the new electric hummer, which has a curb weight of 9,063 lbs (a ford f150 weighs about 5,000 lbs by comparison). You can make any standard car as safe as you want, but if you get hit by someone texting in a 10k lb vehicle going 50 mph, you are probably fucked.

Living in Phoenix, the amount of careless driving I see every day is terrifying. People text and drive, run reds, brake check, etc and pay no mind to the fact that they are literally operating heavy machinery.

Glad there are charges being pressed, but damn it would be nice if there was a serious push to make people safer, not just vehicles. Eye-tracking in cars to detect when a driver is texting, more stringent license requirements and more specific categories based on vehicle weight, not just application, are some examples of things that could seriously reduce the amount of incidents that happen as a result of carelessness.
