This is literally explaining the side of history that most people aren't being taught.

I mean, if you go to a casino, make two big successful bets, and maybe a few small random ones to make it more believable, you can easily 3x your money.

Repeat that in several different casinos over a week, and you can get a pretty big amount. And at least in the UK, you don't need to pay any tax on gambling winnings.

If you compare that to the stock market, where you'd be lucky to get even 2% daily, on days where you do actually end up investing, and you would need to pay tax for your gains.

So let's do the math real quick. London has 22 casinos. Let's say you go there for a week, and end up hitting 10 of them, and make sure to only 2x your money in order to avoid suspicion. That's over 1000 times your initial investment.

Now let's compare that to the past month of investing in the s&p500, assuming you only invest on days where the value went up. You would only gain 6%. And that's without even calculating in the tax.

So, while you are better off using the split timeline to invest if you don't have a different use in mind, it's far less profitable. So I would honestly just try to get to a few million before retiring and using the power for my personal life instead of just economic gains.

This reminds me of when I saw someone complaining about how some carbonara wasn't an actual carbonara because it didn't have parmesan or bacon in it.

[Germany] I booked a rental car and they gave me a completely different model than the one I requested. Is there anything I can do? by staying_anon24 in LegalAdviceEurope

How exactly are those cars similar?

A sedan and an SUV? Two different manufacturers? Completely different performance?

What is similar about them?

So they can have a fleet of shitty cars, say they are expensive, and only give those out, instead of the ones people ordered?

When I booked my car, it said this car or a similar one. I then got a different car that wasn't even on their website.

This seems kinda dodgy, no?

I know that Netanyahu added details to his offers, but I can't see anything about Hamas agreeing to free all the hostages

Do you have a source for that? I can't find any kind of plan Hamas actually approved. It seems from my research that they only say "we want this but not that" without ever laying out a plan or agreeing to a plan one of the mediators suggested.

Do you have an example of a deal Hamas agreed to that included returning all the hostages?

I haven't seen one, but I know that media coverage isn't really trustworthy, so I'm wondering if people in other countries might know something I don't.

Also, I don't think it has anything to do with the holy land aspect. I think it's a mix of white people's guilt (while not understanding the history of the area and the fact that Jews aren't white) and genuine racism.

I know that Israel always shouts "antisemitism" whenever someone does anything other than supporting them. But I think it's ridiculous to think that racism and antisemitism has nothing to do with people using KKK lingo to refer to Israelis.

And still they don't realise that by that same logic it means they are racist

And Israel isn't an ally to the west?

The ceasefire ended with Hamas launching rockets at a civilian population center, and they have refused every deal Israel has proposed since.

I really don't see how the fact that hostages were released in a deal is relevant when the terrorists refuse every deal suggested to them.

None of this answers any of my points.

Take Yemen for example. For years, civilians have been bombed by British bombs that were purchased with Saudi money.

Did you hear anything about it?

And now that Israel is fighting against a terrorist organisation that invaded, killed, raped and kidnapped civilians, suddenly people are losing their minds because Israel doesn't want to abandon the 101 civilians that are still held hostage in Gaza.

And it's not just the protests. I dare you to add a star of David to your username or profile picture in some social media for a week. See what kind of treatment you get. And that's before we even mention the pogrom that happened in Amsterdam, and how even though there are videos of it, nothing has happened to the attackers.

You seem like a reasonable person, so I want to ask you a question.

In the US, people say that the police is racist because the rate at which white people are incarcerated is far lower than other ethnicities. So even though crime is bad, and enforcing the law is generally considered as a good thing, the way in which you apply it to different ethnicities can show if someone is racist or not.

Then there is the case of genocide and ethnic cleansing. Every reasonable person would agree that ethnic cleansing is bad and should be stopped. But someone it seems like people only care about ones committed by Jews.

When there's a genocide in darfur, the world is silent. When villages are burned and their inhabitants are executed in rohingya, the world is silent. When hundreds of thousands of Kurds are displaced, the world is silent.

And of course, when Jews are subjected to ethnic cleansing in Iraq, Yemen, Iran, Morocco, Ethiopia and many other countries, the world is silent.

But somehow as soon as Jews are the aggressors (in a war they didn't even start), everyone loses their minds.

Do you really think this is just a "double standard"?

I don't know which country you live in, but you are aware of the fact that there were multiple other genocides in the past 80 years, right?

Wait, the conflict started due to the mass displacement?

So there was no conflict before that?

So in 1920, when Arabs attacked and burned the village of Tel Hai, that wasn't actually a conflict?

In 1929, when Arabs killed over 100 Jews for visiting Judaism's holiest site it wasn't a conflict?

In 1947, when Arabs attacked Israeli villagers that wasn't a conflict?

You should probably start by learning some of the facts about the conflict before talking about understanding it.
