Because they were driven from their homes at gunpoint by the Zionist terrorists back in 1948!

LOL, history lesson from Iranian propaganda and gaslighting handbook. You don't know how to read wikipedia?

Why is it called a war and not a Genocide?

Because decent human beings are not driven by hate. They saw that terrorists attack Israeli civilians, committed and still comitying heinous acts against civikians. The IDF has a duty to fight terror, whether it be against Israeli or Palestinian civilians.

A Gazan poll reveals 90% don't even want Palestinian Authority rule.

IMHO, they (USA, UK, EU) must all be squirming now that they let leftwing bit players dictate their foreign policy. The Saudis had re-taken Aden and reinstated Hadi by July 2015, but they were told to stop just because there were evidence of UK supplied cluster bombs in Yemen.

No need to prove who used it, how it got there etc...the Saudis were told to just stop.

Defenseless?? You think israel is defenseless??

there you go, you can't even see for yourself. Hamas attacked a civilian music festival and defenceless women and children.

What a stupid stupid comment. Just because I don't support the Genocide in Gaza I have to support Hamas? How stupid.

LOL, you posted 5 days after October 7th that Israel should keep borders open so Hamas can continue its terror campaign but you can't admit to supporting Hamas. LOL, and BTW Israel did not launch a response until October 27th, so all your posts crying for Gaza is really support for Hamas.

Because it isn't. Its killing women and children. That's why I'm against it.

LOL, this all started by Hamas launching a specific attack on women and children. Have you no shame you can't see it?

Another stupid comment. 1. I don't support Hamas. 

But your old posts certainly say you support Hamas.

Do you know how many Palestinian children are languishing in Israeli prisons?? That above comment applies very neatly to the IDF

Keep this issue independent of Hamas terror, and using of women children and the sick as human shield and you will see everyone cares for civilian casualties on BOTH sides. It's just you that can't.

So again, I'm ashamed to be living amongst such .....You say you care about Palestinian but you can't acknowledge the fact Palestinian under Israeli rules are the safest, and happiest, whilst Palestinian living under Hamas are the most exploited and oppressed, similarly Palestinian living under the Palestinian Authority are also having to navigate all the corruption and exploitation that holds them back.

Zelenskyy said on Monday China, one of Russia's key allies, played "a big role" in the world, and he wanted Beijing to take part.

There you go Mr Biden, you give em $150 billions and they ignore you, meanwhile China gives Russia billions, and military aid flow through NK to Russia, and he wanted Beijing to take part.

China's own propaganda has printed that China organised this meeting. Mr Biden, I believe you have been played.

Time to fire Blinken, he can't negotiate, he can't read signals, and totally susceptible to being played.

I think its only a matter of time before that happens.

I read this^^^ and am totally appalled by your lack of care for the defenseless. Your attitude of my enemy's (Israel) enemy (Hamas) is my friend is so confounding it beggars belief a seemingly adult but devoid of morals is living amongst civilian in a free democratic country.

If you care about escalation, why go against a regime that is fighting terror? Why support Hamas, who are still holding and executing civilians today? The same terrorists who thinks that holding the neighbours' children at their compound will shield them, like Qasim al Raymi (Yemen), Osama bin Laden (Afghanistan).

Posted in: As diversity, equity and inclusion comes under legal attack, U.S. companies quietly alter their programs See in context

It's the same group of rich, conservative think-tanks, foundations and trusts as you would expect

Bingo! You can politicise it, like ESG was politicised, all that would do is divide the population into left/right political drones, forbided from individuality and self determination, instead leaving all the decisions to the controllers of politics.

I would rather celebrate diversity, equality and inclusions, take care of one another and nurture us all so we could all be and contribute our best to the community we live in. Not doing so, especially with AI looming is going to give the likes of Microsoft, nvidia, etc a free kick against humanity.

You cannot remove the "politics" from DEI because the purpose of DEI is political activism. Actually breakdown the acronym.

I disagree, this ^^^ is how the holders of power in the left do it. It doesn't mean apolitically inclined institutions have to do it. AND, this shouldn't be the only way for the right to see it.

Musk and SpaceX is a perfect example of this. He's not perfect, nor the most qualified, but investors still nurture him to success.

Not a good times for Boeing..

At the same time, very good for Boeing investors. The records associated with lawsuits, CEO's attitude etc says Boeing is almost there in terms of restoring its past reputation for excellence. Calhoun is a breath of fresh air.

On the other hand it would not surprise me in the least if Spirit Aero will be facing FAA scrutiny and personnel having to answer for much of Boeing's pain.

Along with Google and Meta too

Yes google deleted its 'don't be evil' employment contract clause since 2018.

IMHO, until regulators enforce existing laws, and introduce new laws to ensure social media is not exploited by corporations to undermine democracy, corporations like Meta, MS etc., will try their best to exploit and lobby vigorously to keep things as they are.

Posted in: Autonomous driving is 'happening', but slower than expected See in context

Autonomous driving was largely a con pushed by Tesla so that it could compete against the major makers.

How can it be a con if it hasn't been formally declared ready?

It's a work in progress, it's officially still beta. However, progress is marching along in spades, I can't say my experience with FSD is the same as your experience with YT vids, FSD to me is amazing, miles ahead of anything else out there, but I concur, it's still learning all the time and I doubt there would ever be a time where it can achieve perfection, obviously - because environmental conditions are unpredictable, eg flooded roads, accidents, power outage etc. can never be learnt.

IMHO, the next step is for Tesla to develop conditions where FSD can be enabled or have to be disabled. But by and large, Tesla FSD is a lot more ready than everything else.

That is the darkness that those who are not themselves white and Christian face in the US.

USA has a lot of darkness yet to be dealt with in the clear light of day. But that does not mean DEI should be the ONLY criteria for relationships (business, social, political).

On the other hand, IMHO those who oppose DEI appears to be beneficiary of the same policy. Eg, Elon Musk, he certainly wasn't the best rocket engineer, the track record says his investors provided him with lots of opportunity for learning and progress (despite very public failures), so why not provide the same opportunities to those who are not at the top of their game so they can be?

When I first came to Japan, I had just been laid off, but a Japanese manager said my current skills would be appreciated elsewhere. I got a contract position in Indonesia working for a Japanese company. I wasn't fluent in Japanese, had no experience working with Japanese, certainly not the best qualified. However I am enthusiastic and appreciative of the nurturing given to me, and it has worked out for all concerned.

IMHO, DEI is a force for good if politics is left out.

Posted in: A defiant Netanyahu says no one can halt Israel's war to crush Hamas, including the world court See in context

Israel will pursue its war against Hamas until victory and will not be stopped by anyone

IMHO, he better be careful what he says, Victor Davis Hanson predicts that the Democrats will force Israel to withdrawal just as they're about to eliminate Hamas entirely. They did it to the Saudis just as the Saudis were about to eliminate the Houthis, and look at the situation now. They will use the same excuse, civilian casualties. The Democrats is NOT about standing with allies, they're about standing above allies, above democracies.

Despite all the Iran funded terror campaign, Robert Malley was put in charge of resurrecting the Iran deal by Biden shows the Democrats puts themselves above USA, and the democratic world.

Posted in: Ruling-party candidate strongly opposed by China wins Taiwan's presidential election See in context

My Taiwanese friend opined that the CCP has sabotaged their own objectives even before the election started. They have isolated Taiwanese culture and distanced it even further from traditional Chinese culture. They did the same in HK, Xinjiang, Tibet. There is no assimilation or integration, it's CCP supporters or second class citizens, and the gap is widening even with Han Chinese.

Many Taiwanese thinks the CCP will be rolled sooner rather than later.

Boeing vs Airbus narrative makes ALL flights less safe.

It's amazing how supposedly equipped adults resist employing their brain.

The FAA, and counterparts throughout the world (except may be China and Brazil) apply the same rules when certifying planes, which means engineering is pretty much standard across the board.

The 737 (not Max) has been around for decades, cracked windows is a maintenance or inspection issue, not a maker defect.

Those who argue against trade, against NATO and against the EU

meh, you're gaslighting everybody. Trump wasn't against NATO or the EU, he just wanted them to pay their fair share, which they haven't been in a long time.

As for trade, he also wanted them to play trade fairly. The EU's subsidies of Airbus has done nothing but make air travel unsafe for the entire world. Why does it take an unpopular president like Trump to finally end the subsidies dispute?

I'm surprised they agreed to meet with him.

Posted in: Blinken seeks Palestinian governance reform for postwar Gaza as deadly Israeli strikes continue See in context

Blinken just can't process information beyond feel good wishful outcome.

There's Iran, who will never stop trying to shore up its power based on hatred of Jews. There are terrorists who need funds, then there's corrupt government all over the Middle East like Lebanon, then there's terrorists like Hamas who fills power vacuums where ever it can.

Sure all these guys will just roll over because Blinken is so handsome and charming and persuasive (cough cough).

The next step in this process has got to be making more Palestinian feel safe, the ones living in Israel proper are safe, nothing to do here.

The ones living under the PA is oppressed but otherwise safe, end the corruption and their lives will be 100% better.

The ones living under Hamas are used as human shield and bait for foreign aid. The UN has a specific refugees agency just for Palestinian, this agency need to step up and resettle these people to a more safe jurisdiction instead of leaving them there and asking for aid, which Hamas takes and use for their private jet travels and lavish 5 star hotel stays.

Posted in: Trump told EU that U.S. would never help Europe under attack: EU official See in context

I wouldn't vote for Trump, ever, but the fact is, without NATO there wouldn't be a Ukraine war, and there wouldn't be sufferings in Ukraine and massive inflation that causes all kinds of sufferings in developed and developing countries.

Blinken and Sullivan has a lot to answer for with their foreign policy which on the surface appears to be nothing but the opposite of Trump, regardless of the outcome. The least they could have done was to look at Obama's anti-American Exceptionalism, in which case NATO can exist for the EU but without American involvement.

The 757 also has an incredible safety record

...and the 757-300 has a door plug too.

I think we're at a point now where it's rather obvious this CEO is tasked with mopping the blunders of previous CEOs. Calhoun took responsibility immediately, Muilenburg previously blamed pilot errors for the two losses of Max airframes. Day and night, so Calhoun ought to be supported and applauded. Boeing is being resurrected under Calhoun leadership.

Not sure about it's future.

I am unsure about its entertainment aspect as it relies on content. But, for business application - unlimited opportunities.

I am involved with control systems in transport and industrial industries. We used to visualize/test using large monitors, but we could never merge physical with generated environment. This solve it. Think in a fire, you put it on and it leads you to all the controls with labels and instructions, and receive instantaneous status update. Or pressure build-up alert, you put it on and proceed to applicable controllers, in the correct sequence, at the moment it's a guess, you run around, shouting with control room staff who are equally panicking.

I can see logistic warehouse using it to help with locating lines, stocks etc. also.

Game changer, if current reports are accurate.

I'm totally impressed with the current Boeing CEO, he has taken responsibility, even before NTSB investigation is complete. Breath of fresh air.

Even more important, the loose bolts discovered by United and Alaska does not refers to the retaining bolts, it refers to the bolts clamping the hinge mechanism to the plug. This mean it could possibly implicates Spirit Aero, and absolve Boeing and Airlines staffs.
