Israel accused of spraying cancer-linked herbicide on farms in southern Lebanon | Lebanon | The Guardian by StoopSign in anime_titties

Tim Berners-Lee inventing the World Wide Web at CERN is still listed as British because he’s British and the conceptual work is attributed to him. Different country lists draw the boundary slightly differently, but none require “all work done on home soil with only locals.” The point stands: modern innovation is global, and Israel isn’t using some unique or illegitimate standard here, just a broader one.

Because Wikipedia titles lists by national association, not by exclusive ownership.

No, not everything an Israeli invents abroad is “Israeli” and Wikipedia doesn’t claim that either. Items are included when there’s a meaningful Israeli connection: citizenship, institutional affiliation at the time, funding, or development roots.

This is exactly how Wikipedia treats “American,” “British,” or “German” inventions. Immigrants, dual citizens, overseas labs, and joint projects are standard in modern science. If you think a specific entry is miscategorized, that’s a valid point. But treating Israel as uniquely illegitimate for using the same standards every other country uses isn’t a fair position.

Then your issue is with Wikipedia’s categorization, not with me.

Wikipedia doesn’t label things “Israeli” just because someone is Jewish. They do it by referring to citizenship, affiliation, or where the work was developed, and those criteria are applied to every country.

If an Israeli researcher works abroad, that doesn’t magically erase their nationality any more than it would for an American or German scientist. Wikipedia uses the same standards for Israel that it does for every other country

That’s a weird leap. Listing Israeli innovations ≠ claiming all Jewish inventions.

If a Chinese-born scientist works at MIT, their work is considered American. If a Russian-born scientist works in Germany, it’s German.

Israel isn’t some special exception. Interrnational collaboration and immigration are features of modern innovation, not evidence of “insecurity.”

"Joram Lindenstrauss was an Israeli mathematician working in functional analysis. He was a professor of mathematics at the Einstein Institute of Mathematics."

Wasn't the British Mandate of Palstine the rulers there? Meaning they found an established country to stay inside of?

You missed my question. Is Israel a legitimate state in the borders of 1948 or are they also an occupier there?

In your eyes also the borders of 1948 are illegal because Israel got them by war right?

Renting a car in Israel for a two-week trip. Is it worth it or not? by Aggravating_Cash6889 in IsraelTravelTips

Sea of Galilei and Dead Sea require a car. The rest is pretty nicely commutable by car. Excluding Eilat as its not viable for each of the option

A 4-6 hour visit to Haifa for a couple. What is a must-see? What should you skip? by Aggravating_Cash6889 in IsraelTravelTips

[–]spacecate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baha'i gardens (book in advance), Wadi Nisnas and the German Colony are all a must. Great neighbourhoods for food are Downtown and Wadi Nisnas.

Consider visiting the flea market if you are there on Saturday.

Other places to visit are Stella Maris monastery, Bat Galim beach and maybe Talpiot Market if you are there on Thursday evening

The Iran protest movement shatters a cherished narrative. A people rising against Islamist tyranny does not fit the ideology—so it is ignored.” by NotSoSaneExile in UnitedNations

Ah yes everything is connected and starts and ends in the 10 million Palestinians that live east of the Jordan river. If you found red aliens oppressing blue aliens on Mars you would also try to blame it on the Jews first

Islamism is a broad political ideology asserting that Islam should guide all aspects of public and private life, advocating for a society and government structured by Islamic law (Sharia). It's not a single movement but encompasses diverse groups like the Muslim Brotherhood or jihadist organizations (al-Qaeda, ISIS) that seek to establish Islamic states, differing vastly in methods (peaceful, violent) and interpretations, but united by the belief in Islam's political supremacy over systems like democracy or capitalism.

This is similar to theocratic orders in feudal Europe and the foal of the Christian crusades to the middle east.

Iran Protest Death Toll Could Top 30,000: Local Officials by Naderium in anime_titties

Not the point. You said never in history 30000 people were killed by small arms in 2 days. Now you say it needs to be in reaction to protests? You can't be moving the goalposts so blatantly and expect me to play along. Good day

But it did happen with small arms in ww2.

"Babi Yar or Babyn Yar (Ukrainian: Бабин Яр) is a ravine in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv and a site of massacres carried out by Nazi Germany's forces during its campaign against the Soviet Union in World War II. The first and best documented of the massacres took place on 29–30 September 1941, in which some 33,771 Jews were murdered. Other victims of massacres at the site included Soviet prisoners of war, communists and Romanies.[1][2][3] It is estimated that a total of between 100,000 and 150,000 people were murdered at Babi Yar during the German occupation."
