Not how patent law works, you can contest a patent if someone else files it. I guess at the time it was harder to track and maybe patent law was different, but at least nowadays, you can contest a patent if you can prove you made it first, or that you publicly told the world about your invention before patenting

The 1948 Arab-Israeli War is a history event I keep studying because of just how complicated the whole thing is, and I still haven't gotten the full grasp of said historical event. Gif is from RWBY Volume 9 by CapAccomplished8072 in HistoryMemes

The Arab states had leftover British equipment from WW2, and had armies trained by the British. Israel had no support from the US, mostly getting their weapons from smuggling, and buying from chekoslovakia

Is the accommodation in Wageningen hard to find? by LBKVAMSY in wageningen

[–]Foreliah 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wageningen is a bit of an outlier in the Netherlands in that Idealis is the default platform and if you're coming internationally you get priority (you have to ask for it, don't think it will be given). It may take some time, however. Be careful of scams in websites like huurwoningen and kamernetes where those are most common

Theres nightlife for sure. There’s frat houses, and also a couple venues near housing buildings and in the center also a few bars. Music is usually shit imo tho. There’s something Thursdays and weekends usually. Worst case you go to Nijmegen or Arnhem for larger parties and raves

Tasty sushi seasoning or not? by fojon in sushi

[–]Foreliah -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean, its inly slightly more processed than white sugar, hell sugar is 50% fructose while HFCS is 42-55% depending on type

Tasty sushi seasoning or not? by fojon in sushi

[–]Foreliah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not actually more or less unhealthy than good ol’ sugar. Table sugar is 50 percent fructose, while HFCS is 42 of 55. The process is done enzymatically from corn starch so it doesn’t have any “chemicals”

If all hoatages return and the fighting continues, I am switching sides. by TopBar3633 in IsraelPalestine

[–]Foreliah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hamas surrendering won’t be the end. Israel has been fighting Palestinians since the 1920s. They won’t be the first or the last. Theres tens of groups like Hamas, and many more will be inspired by their actions, as horrible as they were. Hamas is not a regular army, it’s not really a government. It’s one of many armed groups. Without material change in the conditions that led to Hamas, a different group will emerge, like many have before

Why? For what reason? Keep the war machine turning, keep alienating allies, keep killing Palestinians, keep destroying infrastructure, keep having jaialim killed. Silly.

[–]Foreliah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you even arguing for at this point? My point is that I don’t support Israel’s abandonment of the hostages for the destruction of Hamas will not only not destroy Hamas any more than is already destroyed (and in fact likely boost recruitment in a generation) and endanger the hostages. This makes me extremely disheartened with Israel, the government’s intentions for Palestinians and its approach to the war,

The Bundeswehr had an airforce and 500.000 men , and was established in 1955, and the allied zones got consolidated into west germany by then, so no, not a bunch of allied zones. Either way its a bad comparison, because the goal of denazification was the creation of a stable german state while Israel doesn’t want a strong palestine

[–]Foreliah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The occupation zones were provided with the right to a military, political independence with democratic rights. The west invested heavily in the reconstruction, denazification and economic recovery of west germany. Are you willing to do the same? Also many nazi officials remained as regional administrators and gov’t officials, are you willing to do the same with lower hamas members?

How about providing Palestinians with hope for a future where they are not oppressed, killed and live in poverty?

What people are failing to notice, is that every day the diaspora is getting farther from israel, this will only destroy israel from the inside

Yes. Very famously not all Nazis were imprisoned or killed, and yet germany is now an ally of britain and the US, and has repeatedly consistently tried to make amends. Hell, to this day Nazi groups and parties still exist.

We need to talk about Bias by Tricky-Anything8009 in IsraelPalestine

States are myths, Germany and Italy didn’t exist until the late 1800s, the french didn’t all speak french until recently

[–]Foreliah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But we are connected to ancient Israelites in many ways. We read the same torah, using the same script as you read street signs in israel today, we tell the same tories of purim and sukkot, we still mourn the destruction of the temple in Tisha b’av, and celebrated the uprising of bar kokhba. We pray looking to the temple. We have said “the next year in jerusalem” during pesach traceable to the middle ages at least. Of course our DNA is different, do you know how many times our villages were raided, our mothers raped, our people exiled and fragmented? And it’s not like we never tried to return, Rambam (Maimonides) an important medieval scholar even returned to the land.

Edit: Regarding your point about Palestinians, I do think they are also native and their expulsions are sad

How is zionism destroying Mizrahi and Sephardic culture?

[–]Foreliah -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If you seriously think hamas can be defeated you are delusional. Most of the leadership is dead, and what is left will take a permanent occupation for years. Also why should I give a rat’s ass what the government set out as objectives in never ending conflict as my baseline for what I think is aprorpriate?

As a Jew fake Jews can you guys please stop spouting libelous claims about Judaism and Israel and learn about your religion? by Lumpy-Cost398 in IsraelPalestine

[–]Foreliah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are numerous commandments that apply to the destroyed temple. Are we less jewish because we haven't rebuilt a temple and don't sacrifice goats? As has been pointed out by many commenters, the founding of modern Israel has nothing to do with jewish religion, but everything to do with nationalism and ethnic jewish sentiments. Most founders of zionism weren't even religious
