Also there has been funding cuts to all agencies where Musk is currently under investigation. NHTSA is getting cut so they can't get in the way of Tesla.
that's true, maybe Russia should offer a 200km buffer zone along their border to avoid accidentally invading their neighbours. They are known to make mistakes after all.
I find it a bit hilarious that I, living in the reddest state in the union, have member-owned cooperative power [1] that is 100% wind while my parents in California pay 6x my rate for mostly natural gas [2] and wildfires.
That too. But since we're in this situation where it's a public company, it's just funny to me that people's finances are both being helped and harmed by PG&E, probably canceling itself out.
That's an english translation of the charter position in 1988. Sure.
A disputed translation.
What were the concessions in the 2006 election that Hamas made to form a unity government with Mahmoud Abbas (ie. the declaration by Hamas prior to the election that saw them gain a majority number of seats)?
As I said above, this issue is fraught with problematic framings.
People like to say it does, but this stance is largely based on a single line (up at the very top) which is frequently mistranslated, as in the version you are unfortunately citing.
In particular it mistranslates a key verb as "obliterate". When you yourself can verify, right now, that that verb pretty much only translates as "nullify" or "abolish". It is also clear that this refers to the State of Israel, not the Jewish people.
This far more correct interpretation being much more consistent with Hamas's ideology, which holds that Zionism simply lacks legitimacy, and will eventually be seen as irrelevant.
There's also that line about the Gharqad tree. Say what you want about it, but it unambiguously refers to Islamic eschatology, and Islamic scholars at least say it should be interpreted allegorically (as in a conflict will come between right and wrong, those who defend the truth and those who oppose it and all that).
In any case it doesn't refer to the State of Israel, or present a literal call for extermination.
Pre-Israel Palestinians are mostly of Jewish origin.
Not the 97 percent who were non-Jewish.
Who were a diverse group of folks, including a significant minority (20 percent or more seems a good estimate) whose recent ancestors were non-indigenous migrants in the latter (but still pre-Aliyah) stages of the Ottoman Empire. Including a good chunk from Egypt and other places nearby, as well as from far-off places like Bosnia, Circassia etc.
The long-term resident (i.e. "indigeous") component in turn had also steadily mixed with other populations over time. DNA evidence does suggest that a good chunk of their ancestry pool would probably have been classed as Jewish/Israelite way back when, before converting to Christianity and other religions before the Islamic conquest. A fact which the myth-making industry in modern Israel painfully ignores.
In sum they make for a complex group with a mix of influences. To say that they were "mostly of Jewish origin" smells strongly of overstretch.
And in any case they definitely were not "Jewish" by the time the Nakba rolled around. So what this (or footnotes about the origin of the term Palestinian) has to do with the Israeli government's continuing to hoard their stolen ("abandoned") posessions is unclear.
You'd be spending precious compute and power to use any kind of encryption. It doesn't seem worth it for something that isn't of significant strategic value.
