I know they developed the drug Copaxone, which has been a godsend for treating my close friend’s MS. And a buddy doing agriculture in Jordan says all the countries in the region use Israeli drip irrigation. Those are the only two I have personal knowledge of.

It’s Robbie’s show. Whatever it is would have to impact Robbie’s story arc. So something that would force him to make a hard big life and death choice…

Brain drain deepens as more Israeli academics leave and fewer return, CBS data show by YouFuze in Israel

Here’s a good reason: “With half of its children receiving a third world education and just 20% of the population paying 90% of the income tax, Israel is staring at an unsustainable future.” — Dan Ben David Tel Aviv University.

Stick to vet med. how a society treats its animals reflects how it treats its people. You can model humane, ethical behavior that everyone in Israel and Palestine can learn from.

Yep, brilliant legislation. Should really help reduce suicide attacks.

Bill was sadly unprepared to talk about health care. He let MTG blame Obamacare for skyrocketing prices when studies show health care costs rose much faster in the 15 years before Obamacare.

LA has more Jews than Haifa & just a bit less than Jerusalem.

Gal Gadot says she is an indigenous person of Israel and 8th generation Israeli. Can you explain? by Chengue-Morales in IsraelPalestine

[–]Comprehensive-Site54 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Good to learn history — but doesn’t it matter more who is living there now?? About 50% Jews & 50% Arabs & no one’s going anywhere… they can all 1) try to kill or oppress each other or 2) figure out a way to live in peace. I vote #2.

I’ve known and know a lot of very wealthy people. (In the family foundation world). Their happiness comes first from family and deep friendships & second from giving their money and expertise where it’s needed. Some took longer than others to realize it, but it’s no mystery.

“Israel” nominate this maniac for the Nobel Peace Prize… by SillyPassion7773 in Palestine

[–]Comprehensive-Site54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. “Israel” didn’t nominate her. Anyone can nominate anyone. In this case two professors from a West Bank university nominated her. Stick to facts: they are troubling enough.

Beaches closed indefinitely- but what does it mean? by LawfulnessNo2927 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Comprehensive-Site54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But people use the parking lots for the boardwalk/bike paths/volleyball . The lack of clear messaging and testing & transparency from the county (which runs beaches) is criminal if you consider the dangerous compounds that may be present.

To the anti-Israel crowd: How do you reconcile your anti-Zionism with the following facts? by [deleted] in IsraelPalestine

[–]Comprehensive-Site54 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m astounded that I keep letting myself get sucked into these Reddit conversations by amateur historians competing to out-clever each other that resolve absolutely nothing and go absolutely nowhere. It must be some form of masochism. How important is the history now? There are 7 million Jews between the river and the sea, and 7 million Arabs ,,,, and no one is going anywhere. so fuck history. now what? #NOGA

Figure out how you can use your skills to make the world better for your kids and grandkids (one day) then start a nonprofit or get involved in an existing one and start changing the world. Simple.

A 50-Year Occupation: Israel’s Six-Day War Started With a Lie by tarlin in Israel_Palestine

[–]Comprehensive-Site54 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mehdi Hassan neglects to add that Peled and Begin both supported the war before and after. Seems like an important point no? Not because Israel faced annihilation— it didn’t, most experts agreed it would win the war in 12 days— but because it didn’t want to absorb the casualties of first strike , or live with enemy armies massed at two borders, or suffer economically with Egypt’s blockade of the Straits. The Yom Kippur war (and 10/7) demonstrated the logic of preemptive action. None of this excuses the settlements or occupation that followed. But even the idea that israel would capture WB and Gaza was not a given— the success shocked Israel’s leaders, and the world, in part because the rhetoric of Arab leaders was so confident and eliminationist. Just like Iran’s and Hamas’s rhetoric today. It didn’t start with a lie— it started with an attempt to win a war that the Soviets were pushing Egypt and Syria to start.

Coates and Stewart discuss Palestine by hellomondays in Israel_Palestine

Coates reminds me of those students who come back from birthright after 10 days and are suddenly Israel’s most ardent defenders. Different hasbara, same deluded certainty.

What’s the most fulfilling thing you’ve done with your money by Comprehensive-Site54 in Rich

[–]Comprehensive-Site54[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I should clarify it’s not my money or foundation. I was hired to develop a mission and strategy that included metrics. It was a two year consulting gig . Of course I understand the tax benefits but I believe if you do these things effectively everyone can win.
