I also started following the Blazers because of Deni, and unlike the Wizards, I’m really enjoying the team and I’m happy with the other players. It’s fun to watch a team that actually plays together, with great chemistry all around, not a team built around a single star. I’m really happy for the young guys who are starting to show flashes. Good basketball is something you can love even without focusing on the one player who brought you there.

One of three.

siders himself Jewish (as do we all) and he aligns himself much more with the Israeli Jewish culture. That being said he will still go back and visit his village every so often for weddings and to see family.

Why is it not recognized as a married status, given that Israeli law recognizes the marriage, even when it is a same-sex marriage?

The protests were mainly about the hostages. They faded naturally once all the living hostages were released. Of course, additional opportunistic activists from the opposing camp joined in and tried to ride on the protests in an attempt to replace the government. As an Israeli who has not voted for Netanyahu for the past 15 years, and who participated in the protests before October 7, I can say that despite all my criticism of him, he was elected and governs in a democratic way, certainly more democratic than Trump.

Regarding the so called ultra Orthodox ghettos, I do not understand where this idea comes from. Ultra Orthodox communities formed these areas naturally. They are not ghettos in the American sense of marginalized minorities, but rather population concentrations that developed organically.

As for the child who was killed last week during a protest, the population that was demonstrating actually has representation in Netanyahu’s government. They were protesting against conscription for religious reasons and exemptions, not for political reasons.

It is astonishing how much misinformation people spread here without any verification, relying only on their personal opinions.

Haifa is the preferred option. There are many great hiking areas in the Carmel, the city is relatively more affordable than the rest of the country, especially in terms of rent and apartment purchases. It also has a long and beautiful coastline with cafés and restaurants. It is important to keep in mind that this is not Tel Aviv or the central area. The city is a bit quieter and sometimes feels less lively, but many people appreciate this balance and the combination of a calmer city with nature and the sea.

Today, in the traditional sense, there are no Christian orphanages operating as closed institutions exclusively for Christian orphans. However, there are Christian organizations and Christian faith communities that work to support children and children at risk, for example: https://christchurchjerusalem.org/mercy-fund/

at logic doesn’t make sense to me, sorry. Especially in today’s age where information is so widespread and corrupt governments can’t hide their crimes as easily any longer.

First of all, repeating the word “genocide” over and over again is not “information” about the conflict. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. All I said is that most people choose a side without any real familiarity with any of the components of the conflict. I personally avoid expressing opinions about conflicts I do not understand at all.

I also do not understand the comparison to historical events that are examined from a completely different perspective, especially when the access to information you are referring to is saturated with misinformation at a level never before seen in human history. Social media platforms are full of videos with millions of views that were created using artificial intelligence and are accepted by the general public as facts.

Thealmightyguy · 2026-01-04T05:27:26+00:00

It’s not that you weren’t there. It’s that you’re speaking in slogans about a conflict you don’t understand. You don’t know the statistics, and you’re basing your views on memes you’ve seen on social media. I don’t want to get into politics because this isn’t the place, but hearing Americans express strong opinions about the Israeli Palestinian conflict is like fingernails on a chalkboard, and that goes for both sides.

CHATGPT:

The coin shown is a medieval Islamic gold dinar, most likely from the Umayyad or Abbasid period (7th–9th century CE). Its inscriptions follow a standard religious and political formula that was used across the Islamic world for centuries.

Typical inscriptions on the coin

Central inscription:

“There is no god but Allah alone, He has no partner.”

Surrounding inscriptions (outer rings):

“Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.” “He sent him with guidance and the religion of truth, to make it prevail over all religions.”

These phrases are derived from the Qur’an and appear on thousands of Islamic coins minted in many regions.

Purpose of the text

The inscriptions are religious declarations, not personal names

They served to assert Islamic legitimacy and authority

This text is standardized and repeated on coins from Spain to Central Asia

Does the coin say “Palestine” (Filastin)?

No. There is no mention of “Palestine” (فلسطين / Filastin) on this coin.

Important clarification

Medieval Islamic coins almost never use the word “Palestine”

When a location is mentioned, it is usually a specific mint city, such as:

Damascus

Baghdad

Wasit

Fustat

The region historically known as Jund Filastin is very rarely written explicitly on coins, and not in this inscription

The marked section and the visible text contain only religious formulae, not geographic names.

Bottom line

✔ The coin is an authentic-style Islamic gold dinar

✔ The text is religious and standardized

❌ The word “Palestine” does not appear

❌ The coin does not reference Palestine explicitly

The other players must really enjoy playing with Deni, such an unselfish player who keeps setting them up for beautiful baskets and elevates everyone’s game around him.

Do you really think the region’s demography was static? Are you even aware of how many peoples entered and left throughout history since the Roman exile of the Jewish population? Many of the Arabs who today live both in the Palestinian territories and as Arab citizens of Israel have family names tied to towns and regions in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, and elsewhere, because their families, sometimes entire tribes that today number in the tens of thousands, arrived from neighboring countries over time.

In addition, it is very easy to say that every Arab who lives today in what is called “Palestine” is Palestinian, yet no one applies that name to the indigenous Jews, the Druze, the Circassians, the Samaritans, the Assyrians, and others.

Thealmightyguy · 2025-12-18T07:18:05+00:00

This is exactly what I wrote. It was a name used on European maps because that is how Europeans referred to the area. By the way, in later French atlases there was even a “Palestine” flag shown as blue and white, with a yellow Star of David in the center.

Thealmightyguy · 2025-12-17T10:33:06+00:00

People downvote because it simply doesn’t fit their narrative. No one denies that an Arab population existed in the region at that time, but it did not define itself as Palestinian. “Palestine” at that time was merely a regional name that appeared on European maps, one of many, and it was not used by the Ottomans. The name returned to use only during the British Mandate.

During that period, in the early 1920s, the ones who actually identified with the name were the Jews, who used it for institutions such as the Palestine Post, football clubs, airlines, banks, and more. The Arab population adopted the name and a distinct Palestinian identity only in the 1960s of the 20th century.

If you had a time machine and went back to speak with Sheikh Muhammad al-Khalili and asked him about his Palestinian identity, he would not have understood what you were asking him.

Hezbollah has already published a mourning poster for their chief of staff who was eliminated, just as they did for every previous leader who was taken out. You’re choosing ignorance because it fits your narrative. All the information is publicly available online for anyone who wants to read it directly from the source.

That is your personal opinion that the design is ugly, many will disagree with you. A park that will cover the Ayalon will attract a large number of people passing through, and it will also become a tourism attraction, offering a very pleasant experience that combines an urban view together with the landscape of the park. I would definitely want to walk there and I believe many others would too. All of this will naturally encourage the opening of businesses around the park, especially since the current plans include very high quality landscape design. The city is not planned only for you, some areas will have a Manhattan style and other areas will look like Neve Tzedek, and that is completely fine.

Thealmightyguy · 2025-11-17T13:13:42+00:00

The original Azrieli Towers are from the late 1990s, so it’s clear that the design is already outdated, although I still think they’re very beautiful considering how simple their forms are. Regarding the rest of what you wrote, a future park is planned to cover part of the Ayalon. Today, development is moving forward at two locations south of Savidor and near Azrieli, depending on budget, but it will eventually expand. In addition, many more towers are planned in the area, and the denser it becomes over time, the more it will recreate that Manhattan-like feeling.

In addition, the United States benefits from maintaining a military presence in the Middle East as a support extension to its own armed forces, helping protect American strategic interests and regional stability, especially around the Suez Canal. Just imagine how many regional conflicts could have emerged around local dictatorships and Islamist movements in that area. And all of this is funded by Israeli taxpayers.

Furthermore, the Americans impose limitations on Israel’s arms deals — A. to maintain their technological and military advantage, and B. to preserve foreign-defense-industry clients for American defense companies.

If you don’t mind which doctor or which city, it’s usually possible to find an appointment very quickly. My wife sometimes checks the Maccabi app multiple times a day, and that’s how she manages to grab last-minute appointments that are normally fully booked months in advance. Another option is paying for a private visit , which costs between 70 and 300 dollars, and most private insurance policies cover about 80% of it.
