I am trying to understand why thinking with completely different moral standards when considering the foreign policy of countries is so normal for US Americans and Europeans? On second thought, these different standards also apply to domestic policy, don't they?

It's not just normal you are generally considered crazy if you apply the same standards to Israel or US Americans as to everyone else. Have you ever replaced Israel or US America with North Korea, Russia or China just as a test in news articles? Or, conversely, replaced North Korea, Russia or China with Israel or the US?

The double standards and extreme bias is so obvious that I find it very irritating that most people don't seem to realize it.

Imagine North Korea, Russia or China blowing up girls' elementary school? How would the media report it?

My answer is, who control the media is always right. Human right, justify works just if it serves interests of western world.

People should be able to write software for Android, and distribute it outside Google's Play store, without having to:

• pay Google
• give government ID to Google
• agree to Google terms and conditions

People should be able to install the software they want on their phone, from sources other than Google's Play store, without having to jump through Google-imposed hoops.

e.g. via F-Droid.

We've got until September this year to stop Google squeezing the open Android ecosystem.

"Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Tuesday addressed the 2026 Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations in Jerusalem, warning that Turkey under President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan poses a new strategic threat to Israel. He described Erdoğan as “a sophisticated and dangerous adversary who wants to surround Israel” and cautioned that the country must not “turn a blind eye again.”

Bennett highlighted what he described as a growing axis of concern in the region, linking Turkey, Qatar, and the Muslim Brotherhood with Pakistani nuclear capabilities, saying the alliance is attempting to incite hostility against Israel, including influencing Saudi Arabia. He said, “While certain Israeli officials are on Qatari payroll, Qatar and Turkey, which is based in Syria, and with Israeli consent in Gaza, are feeding a new monstrous axis of the Muslim Brotherhood similar to the Iranian one.”"

Modern oligarchs like Musk, Bezos, Gates, and Zuckerberg are exactly like medieval lords. The top 1% controls all resources, and it is almost impossible to buy an apartment today. We own nothing and just pay rent or subscribe to their platforms. These billionaires have total power to fire thousands of workers anytime and buy politicians for their own interest. They say they work for humanity, but it is just fake marketing. For example, they are silent on wars in Palestine and Ukraine. Majority of ordinary people and developers are too naive. They believe these lies and fail to see the real system
