That's pretty much true when it comes to Palestine as a country, but none of that excuses Israel claiming families homes they've been living in for generations. There was no such thing as a country of Palestine when Israel was created, but that doesn't mean it was empty of people. Maybe they don't have a good claim to a state of their own, but they do have strong claims on their own farms and homes. Those people rightfully don't recognize Israel's authority, especially when Israel is denying them basic human rights that they grant to Jews, i.e. apartheid

What does that have to do with ordinary Palestinians' homes being confiscated? They have nothing to do with it

Palestinians did nothing to deserve their land being stolen. It was European fascism that persecuted the Jews and caused the creation of Israel. Zionism was pushed by European antisemites to get the Jews out. The Palestinians had nothing to do with it and rightfully see Israel as a European colonial project rather than any kind of legitimate state

Countries do not have a right to exist, particularly not if they want to exist on some other people's land. Furthermore, why doesn't this apply to a state for Palestinians having a right to exist? Not that I want that, it is doomed to fail like Pakistan and India. They all need to learn to get along and give people equal rights

Freelancing rates does not mean income. Your actual take home pay would be much less, after taxes, insurance, unbilled time

I was managing a project with contractors in Ukraine when the war broke out. They had some equipment of ours on loan for around 10.000 euros. While I was handling their employees suddenly scattering all over Europe, my upper management wanted me to ask them to keep our equipment safe. I told my management to get fucked. Luckily they understood how insensitive they were being.

I continued the project, we even paid our invoices earlier to help them out. The company was so grateful. Later in that project, my coworker who is originally from Iran expressed his sympathies when Iranian drones were raining down on Ukraine, how he was ashamed his country was doing this. What a moment

This should be charged as a hate crime or incitement

 

This video shows how the Israeli hooligans misbehaved. Videos are being posted of what happened in Amsterdam between hooligans of Israeli football club Maccabi Tel Aviv and Amsterdam locals. Their later clashes with locals were widely reported, but nobody mentioned they were misbehaving already before that (they're football hooligans, after all) and that they had ample opportunity to go to their hotels or be escorted by police, but they chose to roam the city and pick fights. FAFO. Israels genocide surprisingly unpopular around the world, who would have thought
