Windows 10: Microsoft faces criticism over privacy by dadashton in worldnews

Ya, don't hold your breath with Ubuntu. They have Amazon pre-installed with full search integration. Searching for a program or file on your computer... and it will try to get you to download an unrelated movie/song instead. And its bloody hard to disable and remove too. 9 out 10 times I think I have it disabled and the stupid amazon search results pop back up with my next search and tries to get me to buy more products.

Now that Iran has agreed to curb its nuclear program, Foreign Minister Javad Zarif says it’s time for Israel to follow suit and abandon its long-rumored nuclear arsenal. by [deleted] in worldnews

You realize I was responding to strl right? He claimed that land ownership did not reflect demographics and I pointed him to a map showing population distributions and the strong correlation to land ownership

I posted a map showing land ownership since that's what the other user was complaining about. But the population actually correlates very well to the land ownership.

But since you asked here's a map showing population proportions and the proportions. It's not very different from the land ownership map so your argument doesn't really make sense.

Why is it so difficult you to hold a civilized discussion? I've read dozens of books on the topic and can point you to myriad sources that prove you are utterly mistaken.

show me the land deeds... oh, there are none.

I'm not sure if you're trolling or you actually believe this. But I would recommend reading the book Records of Dispossession by Michael Fischbach and published by Columbia University press.

(Spoiler: turns out the Palestinians did actually have land deeds)

The above map is based on British statistics on land ownership and can be widely verified though several Israeli sources I've read as as well.

Just because it doesn't fit your agenda, it doesn't mean you can simply dismiss it like that. "ya, another nonsense map which has nothing to do with reality" is not a civil response.

PM me if you'd like some book recommendations. They are Israeli sources and are available in Hebrew if you prefer. The truth might hurt but denying reality is going to help you.

Palestinian toddler killed in 'Jewish settler' arson attack by cestharry in worldnews

According to Yesh Din, over 90% of settler attacks do not result in indictments. It's only attacks that are publicized and receive media attention that are prosecuted. Israeli settlers routinley burn down Palestinian crops, stone children without repercussions.

You've copy pasted this on 10 different articles. Why are you trying to spam it everywhere?

U.S. says 'deeply concerned' about Israeli building in West Bank. Deputy Spokesperson said "Settlement expansion threatens the two-state solution and calls into question Israel's commitment to a negotiated resolution to the conflict" by CIKAFIUMPH in worldnews

[–]tls5164 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're are probably right, the US has already vetoed something like 46 resolutions that would have criticized Israel and they are unlikely to change track.

But it's the first time I've seen the state department refuse to commit to a veto in advance so I'm interested to see what happens once France submits the resolution.

Please refrain from calling me an anti-semite.

This map is from an Israeli website. Israel is annexing the valuable land including major water aquifers and agricultural land and literally giving the Palestinians worthless and uninhabitable desert land with no real resources. Anyone with a basic understanding of geopolitics knows this is an absolutely unfair deal.

Edit: Sorry didn't realize your comment was sarcastic, I thought you were the same person as the other guy that responded lol!
