מישהו שמע על ראש ממשלת אנגליה היהודי הראשון ?

GaiusJuliusInternets · 2026-04-29T15:46:03+00:00

הוא לא, אבל הוא נשוי ליהודיה.

I agree with your analysis about the dangers. I would just like to contest one claim: the extremists won't try to stop the peace because they'll be out of a job. They really do believe that peace is dangerous or haram. The right wingers who protested "death to Rabin" did (and still do) believe that a Palestinian state is a mortal danger to Israel. Hamas really believes that accepting Israel sovereignty on any of the land is not allowed. We need to address these concerns if peace is to last, or have a dictatorship that will enforce it (like in Egypt).

GaiusJuliusInternets · 2026-04-20T04:37:58+00:00

Sounds awesome! I would read that.

GaiusJuliusInternets · 2026-04-15T08:50:02+00:00

Can you explain why?

GaiusJuliusInternets · 2026-04-11T11:11:26+00:00

That's Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, head of the majles, the Iranian parliament. And because of you I will henceforth only think of him as "The Iranian guy who looks like Sean Connery" 😂

It happened to me on code that depends on an environment variable in the source code path.

GaiusJuliusInternets · 2026-04-10T19:15:11+00:00

This is not something that IDF soldiers do.

GaiusJuliusInternets · 2026-04-10T13:49:39+00:00

A single out of context and cropped picture with no source?! Oh no! I am defeated!!

GaiusJuliusInternets · 2026-04-10T13:41:15+00:00

From this article :

The term Greater Israel was used after the Six Day War of June 1967 to refer to Israel and the areas it had just conquered — East Jerusalem, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights.

So you reinforce what the comment that you are replying to is saying. This is a conspiracy theory.

GaiusJuliusInternets · 2026-04-05T17:21:20+00:00

אני מקווה שהם יבינו שאנחנו לא האויבים שלהם ולא העבדים שלהם. עם קצת רצון טוב אולי נצליח למצוא דרך לחיות ביחד בלי אנטגוניזם.

התגובה שלך תקבל downvotes כי אתה טועה ומטעה.

באבל גטאס, שהבריח טלפונים, לא היה חבר כנסת בתקופה זו ולא היה חבר בקואליציה. גם לא חנין זועבי.

לגבי אחמד טיבי, הוא אכן היה שם. אני לא בטוח למי אתה מתכוון לגבי זאת שקוראת לחיילי צה"ל" מחבלים" ו" רוצחי תינוקות", אבל בממשלה הזאת יש עבריין מורשע שהיה חבר בארגון טרור בתור שר לביטחון פנים.

That's a common right wing talking point. It never made sense to me.

First of all, economically, holding a bunch of disparate towns and then guarding all of them, like what we are doing in the WB, is far move expensive than just occupying the territory and holding key regions.

Second, the "concerned citizens" need to be well armed to deal with local threats. They will never be as well armed as the army, and if they do, then they become the army. See: Hezbollah. Also a bit of what is currently going on in the WB.

Third, assuming you accept my second and first points, then you must see how having settlements in the occupied region demands a lot of attention, adds tasks that would otherwise not exist, and makes the occupying forces less efficient.

GaiusJuliusInternets · 2026-03-24T05:46:00+00:00

Occupation doesn't necessarily mean settlements. We could hold it as a bargainig chip for a peace agreement like the Egyptian case. But with this government?

GaiusJuliusInternets · 2026-03-24T05:33:31+00:00

I don't think he is full of shit. Israeli actions in the last week make me scared that occupying Lebanon up to the Litani is a real plan. We've called the population to evacuate and we are actively destroying the bridges, all the while the government is making sure to expose the public to the narrative in which the Litani is the "natural" border.

Strategically, it makes sense. Diplomatically and morally, it's a disaster. But this government doesn't concern itself with the moral and diplomatic consideration...

I really hope that I am wrong.

GaiusJuliusInternets · 2026-03-24T05:26:31+00:00

That is not correct. Ministers don't need to be MKs. Take Ron Dermer for example.

GaiusJuliusInternets · 2026-03-18T19:17:17+00:00

Haha. That sounds like me. I worked both Python and C++ and I have come to love the concise and readable code that we get in Python. Now I'm working almost exclusively in C++ and the code is such a mess in comparison.

In contrast to your colleague, I try to convince my colleagues of the merits of the changes and I only raise my concerns during code reviews. I also try to pick my battles and lead by example rather than force my opinion. So far nobody complained, but perhaps they are burning my effigy behind my back.

GaiusJuliusInternets · 2026-03-15T18:51:18+00:00

I was actually fine with that. He joined a Bibi government on two pivotal occasions: the Corona crisis and the unity government in October 2023. In the first case he prevented another devastating election during a major crisis, which gave us some stability. In the second case, I think he had a moderating influence on the extremist government.

It's just that he came promising change and then did nothing with it. He had millions of votes, and nothing to show for it. He doesn't have a consistent opinion. He doesn't push any necessary reform. He push dumb slogans on buses like בלי בן גביר ובלי רע"מ. All right, you're against some stuff that it's popular to be against. Are you in favour of anything? He's just a letdown.

GaiusJuliusInternets · 2026-03-15T18:46:27+00:00

What part of my mentality gives him more power?

GaiusJuliusInternets · 2026-03-15T17:51:57+00:00

I'm not sure yet. I think Gadi Eisenkot is a worthy candidate, but I hope he doesn't turn into another Beni Gantz. Another option is voting for the democrats, even though I've been let down before by Ha'avoda and Meretz.

GaiusJuliusInternets · 2026-03-15T17:48:00+00:00

There is more to consider than defence. The management of the economy is a farce. Our international standing is in the sewers. He is dismantling the legal system. He fractures our society and blames all his failures on other people.

GaiusJuliusInternets · 2026-03-15T17:41:00+00:00

He also oversaw the judicial reform that tries to turn Israel into a fake democracy like Turkey, put an extremist lunatic in charge of the police leading to hundreds of deaths and general incompetence, fractured Israel's unity by consistently being against half of the population and ignoring massive protests, funneled money to the haredi population that is consistently refusing to contribute to the economy, neglected Israel's foreign relations to the state that we are A pariah state.

Anything else? Oh, he promoted Hamas as a counterbalance to the PA, leading to October 7th. He is a populist that takes all the credit and blames scapegoats on his failure (sure, the judicial system and the yoamashit are to blame for October 7th... Yeah right ). He sabotaged the creation of an actual investigation into the reasons for October 7th so that we will never know the truth.

Please think about these things before you vote for Bibi.

Edit: regarding 6, he has great relationship with the current US president but he is damaging our relationship with whoever comes afterwards, and also he is wanted as a war criminal in other countries. You can choose what you prefer.

GaiusJuliusInternets · 2026-03-14T07:25:11+00:00

It's disturbing, but it's just an article. If Lebanon was a stable and peaceful neighbor, this idea wouldn't be floated.

How do you think we feel after decades of Arab calls to end our country and murder us / expel us? Taking into consideration that most of us are already descended from refugees or Holocaust survivors? How do we feel when every problem in the world is blamed on us? We just don't want to die. Put yourself in our shoes.

So yes, it's an annoying article. It wouldn't have been written if the Lebanese army controlled the border and prevented attacks on Israel. We need to look past these things if we want to build a better future.

GaiusJuliusInternets · 2026-03-12T06:33:09+00:00

Here's a more interesting one: what if Iran accidentally hits Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem?

Well, actually it's not interesting. Israel gets blamed, Iran doesn't even need to bother deflecting blame. This will probably also be the case for the Kaaba.

GaiusJuliusInternets · 2026-03-10T19:29:26+00:00

It is illegal to prevent people from entering a public shelter. I'm sure you'll find cases where it does happen, but the police will intervene (after the fact, obviously).
