Let them buy all the defensive weapons they can afford, Iron Dome, etc.
I think US gives them the weapons otherwise, they don't even buy them? No more.
It is insanity to let them just kill whomever they want whenever they want as many as they want
Israel has a right to exist but not kill thousands of innocent people
They also have universal healthcare while US never will because we've spent $21 Trillion since 9/11 on militarization, adding another trillion this year and now have to replace all the tomahawks etc
They're import-reliant. They don't make steel, don't make aluminum, don't have a large chemicals industry, etc. They're very vulnerable to sanctions and trade restrictions.
It frames themselves as under attack, which thereby gives themselves moral justification to attack, and when those attacked attack back they fulfill their justification, and the circle of violence and death perpetuates.
Countries don't have any "right to exist", this very term is thought terminating propaganda created by Israel. Israel does not have a right to exist, countries either are, or aren't. People have a right to live.
And as it stands, Israel is a terrorist nation commiting war crimes and a genocide daily.
"Defensive" weapons also do not exist. If you give Israel weapons, or sell them weapons, you are complicit in their actions.

Are you saying Israelis should die?
That is literally what you're saying. When Israel says it has the right to exist it says it has the right not to be under missile attacks. You're saying that it's OK to kill Israelis and Israel shouldn't retaliate in kind?
The amount of misinformation in this thread is absolutely mind boggling.
Lebanon was formed by colonialist French who wanted to build Paris of the middle east and ignored the fact that it housed multiple different ethnic groups that spent the time killing each other. Then Palestinians who failed to topple the Jordan monarchy came in and formed a militia that started attacking Israel. The Suni joined in and it became a national sport to fire rockets at northern Israeli civilians for decades.
That was 50 years ago and the only thing that changed is the people firing the rockets. Israel tried everything. Negotiating. Invading. Bombing. Building their own militia in Lebanon, Negotiating again. Now, it's again out of ideas and also out of civility.
The problem is that Lebanon isn't doing anything. Their government and Army don't control the militias working in their land. Iran is funding these militias remotely and effectively lending people money to build their houses with specialty rooms to house rockets (seriously). I mean these people were so blatant that they literally built Hezbolla tunnels under UN bases...
They are popular in Lebanon since they literally give people money. Press in Lebanon present them as "resistance" to Israel even though they are literally the ones keeping the war going for Iran.
What should a country do after 5 decades of rockets fired at their civilian population?
Enough is enough. Israel has no such problems with "normal" countries like Egypt or Jordan. The problem is Lebanon and to a lesser extent Syria which is hard to trust at this stage. The Syrian problem was also related, Assad was an Iranian collaborator but had a bit more control. When Israel attacked Hezbolla it effectively broke Assad and allowed a transition of power there. Unfortunately, Syria has the same colonialist problems Lebanon has. They aren't a stable country and that's a risk.
The president of Lebanon is calling for talks with Israel now. I hope that will happen but I doubt he can do anything. He wasn't able to do anything before Israel went apeshit and I doubt he'll be able to do anything now. He doesn't run the country, Iran is running the country. Israel tried to target the real landlords but failed there.
What he's saying is that Israel itself doesn't have a right to exist based on international law, but its people - be it Israelis or Palestinians have a right to live.
Palestinians are already being hurt by israelis, Palestinian land was stolen by israelis, Palestinians are being put in open air concentration camps by israelis, humiliated, abused, starved, killed, hunted down, so excuse me for not caring much about your "problematic statement". Countries have no legitimacy to exist, however they do have history: Israel as a state is a lot more illegitimate in its existence than a Palestinian state, and considering it is the state committing a genocide right now and it doesn't seem to be sticking: Israel doesn't have a right to exist, and the state that is right now Israel is also a terrorist, genocidal one.
Israelis forced themselves in stolen, colonised land, settled with violence, used the weapons of the western colonizers against local populations and actively worked to destroy every attempt at peaceful cooperation that there has ever been, member of Israel's current government having actively called for the murder of Rabin and might very well be directly involved in it. Israel has made it so that the situation effectively ends with either Israelis dying, or the whole region dying.
>Uses the age old "hurr actually the name Palestine was Judea"
Ok Mossad. Israel attacked Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Egypt, Jordan, is a terrorist country and doesn't have the right to exist. Israel is the one killing Palestinians and Lebanese citizens right now.
(PS: you know people see through when you post 50 prepared paragraphs of Zionist propaganda, right?)
if I remember correctly the space shuttle had four computers that all did the same processing and a fifth that decided what was the correct answer if they all didn't match or some went down
can't find a wikipedia article on it but the times had an article in 1981
You do need access to a large telescope (at least 1.2m based on the wiki article), a sensitive detector (is photomultiplier tube sensitive enough??) and most importantly, access to your local laser clearinghouse so you don't accidentally shoot an airplane, blind the pilot and got arrested, or a satellite and start a war (if you believe some guy on quora). Probably the last part is the hardest thing for an amateur
What a nice vanilla view of the world. It's way to simple as an answer and lacking links to reality.
If not before but with high school kids will need access to a computer and also the internet in many schools and countries.
I get that parents are responsible but parents have limited resources. Even the best parenthood will not keep kids from wanting to engage with peers. Even the best filter or block by parents will not cover the www and their millions of websites and services.
Should society help the child, by making it more difficult for them to access harmful material, in the same way we age verify alcohol?
What if the parent is responsible, but finds themselves in a situation where they don't have the time/ability to either educate or set up robust controls? Should we make their responsibilities easier?
Instead of controlling the children, we should control the source. Perhaps we should ban harmful content from the internet. Not the government. But we, as users, need content to be reviewed by moderators. People should decide what is harmful. I’m sure we all know what is harmful, not just for children. Psychology shows us what goes on in an adult’s brain, it is exactly the same as what goes on in a child’s brain.
Before Youtube and Wikipedia there used to be a great website I liked to read about Philo Farnsworth but cannot remember the name of it for the life of me now
a 100 meter tall spaceship nearly 6 million pounds carrying nearly a million gallons of fuel for nearly 10 million pounds of thrust for JUST eight minutes
all that to escape Earth's mighty gravity well
pretty freaking amazing to watch even at that distance
The event itself was a few years before my time, but after reading about it and eventually watching the historical news footage, the phrase "go at throttle up" also seared itself into my brain, and ever since I flinch when I hear it.
Same. I watched last night, UK time, and I couldn't shake the worrying feeling. I was relieved that they got into orbit. Now I can be a little bit excited until re-entry. That worries me for the same reason.
In the UK as a kid, when Challenger happened, our children's news programme reported it before the mainstream TV.
I think you could just ship generic robot dogs in a container and have local contractors straw-purchase firearms, 3d-print cradles, and combine them. None of the contractors would need to know what they were doing.
It already exists. There's no reason anyone would know if they never ventured into the backwaters of PEDs for sport, but third-party labs are out there which will send you back a full analysis of any sample you send it, and reputable sellers anyone bothers to actually buy from will reimburse the testing expense provided you publish the results on any number of web forums that exist for the purpose of vetting these sellers on quality and purity of their products. It's nothing like buying heroin from the street or at least it hasn't been since 20 years ago.
Also US MedSpas and other boutique pseudo not-quite-medical clinics will already inject you with just about any peptide other than insulin as well as NAD+ if you feel you need it for some reason. You don't, but they'll still do it.
I would expect whomever does the certification for insulin and GLP's would be up for it. existing peptides on the market not counting all the peptides people eat daily in foods

They also have universal healthcare while US never will because we've spent $21 Trillion since 9/11 on militarization, adding another trillion this year and now have to replace all the tomahawks etc
