In general I think it's ultimately irresponsible to centralize ideation on one stakeholder.
Wrote a piece with a similar opinion here: https://jonathankorn.substack.com/p/your-teams-relationship-...
If you live in the country the law is the same for everyone. No? Don't know what the obligations are. I'm not the "you" , clearly you're super knowledgable, go for it.
> But a nice attempt to frame the conversation. [Do they send you on courses?] Errr thanks?
Humanity has tried the whole "jews living under arab rule" before and it sucked. You can bash the israelis all you want but they're doing a much better job than anything a palestinian/arab rule would do to jews.
Almost that entire sentence exists today in israel. Rights are the same for all israeli citizens. Israeli muslims and israeli jews have the same rights inside the state of israel. Muslims are the third largest political party (and are part of the current coalition), they are supreme court judges (heck, a muslim judge sentenced the jewish president to prison).
On Aliyah: Im not too familiar with how different it is to Aliyah as a jew then as a muslim, but it's more likely to be easier as jew. The general idea is that it's a jewish state. Most people here will be opposed to a jewish state, that's fine. Humanity has an awful track record with the jews, might be best to finally let them be autonomous.
"Rather than just a first world playground for one faction." Not entirely sure what this means.
> You did ask.
Yep :) and glad you did. Personally I think a two state solution is more viable. What I don't think is constructive is assuming that the entire onus is on one side. Takes two to tango, right? WestBank palestinians have had two leaders. Ever. Arafat was adamant about establishing power, while Abbas is eager to keep it. That's why he's completing his 14th year in his 4 year mandate. He keeps cancelling elections because if Hamas wins (like they did in Gaza) he will at best be exiled. Just recently he had an opposition leader assassinated.https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/palestinian...
Fatah is hell bent in keeping the status quo.
Hamas is hell bent in destroying Israel. It's in their charter. They're way more extreme than Fatah.
Plenty of mosques in Israel, 2 million muslims there living peacefully. Can't say the same about palestinian territories where jews and synagogues are not allowedd.
It seems you'd just like Israel to take all the responsibility for the conflict, cease to exist and roll over. Hopefully I'm wrong.
That place is over the top contentious. Of course I agree that attacking worshippers is wrong. No one should be cool about that. Nonetheless, worth checking the "attacking worshippers".
"Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan speak for themselves" Do they though? Sheik Jarrah is a private citizen dispute. Literally two groups of citizens deliberating on who owns what.
"Rockets don't just come out of nowhere for a recreational activity."" Yeah they do. From here it looks like you're defending sending thousands of rockets (unguided) pointed at civilians. Hamas has nothing to do with Sheik Jarrah. Hamas only wants to create more conflict so that it can justify it's existence. Have you read their manifesto? It doesn't want peace, it want's the destruction of israel. Doesn't seem very negotiable.
The entire movement is predicated on struggle and conflict. Not peace and harmony.
Unfortunately for Hamas, the rocket launches are a recreational activity.
IDF's responsibility is to keep Israeli citizens safe(jews, muslims and christians). If someone across the border is using firing thousands of rockets at civilians then the IDF is going to step in.
Unfortunately the retaliation which will lead to the fewest civilian deaths will be bombing the launch site ( a civilian building).
What's the alternative? Mount a massive land invasion into a booby trapped hell hole?
Going back to the AlJazeera aspect: Qatar funds Hamas (one source cites 400m USD in 2014) AND provides the "right media coverage" through AlJazeera.
From where I'm standing it doesn't look like there is one sided propaganda
They've been doing it for years. The odd ones are the one's who aren't reporting it.
Everyone here is so smart and inquisitive, but when the issue is middle east the gang seems to take a shallow, dogmatic take on something they absolutely do not understand. For so many independent thinkers there's a lot of knee jerk group think
I don't think they've ever produced anything remotely truthful about the region. ever.
That's why it's curious
seconds later the scope has become "everything israel does is wrong, look at gaza, something something apartheid"
Also, I'd take HRW with a grain of salt when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Even their founder has expressed concern: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Human_Rights_Watc....
Might be interesting: https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/palestinians-accuse-hamas-...
I'd liken it to something like Country X giving special immigration privileges if you have ancestry from country X.
They don't deny citizenship if you're palestinian, granted it's as difficult if you were trying to get citizenship coming from any other country
Gone are the days where threatening to wipe jews off the planet was considered rhetoric. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
Like others have mentioned, of course there's an element of luck. It helps to have a product that fits the zeitgeist.
But in my experience, the remaining 99% is all working smart and understand what and the "why" of the problem at hand.
The Google Ads technique is good, but only if you're working on a product with a known problem. For anything new... it probably won't be much help on it's own. It's useful though if you use to see how people try to solve known problems.
Best resources hands down IMO for understanding 0 to PMF are: The Lean Product Playbook by Dan Olsen. Gives a good view on how products fit with the market. If the problem space is wobbly, the solution space will suck. The Mom Test by Rob Fitzpatrick (my favourite). Excellent book on user interviews. It's so good that I made a primer out of it: https://gum.co/DeSxL The PMF Engine by the founder of Superhuman: https://firstround.com/review/how-superhuman-built-an-engine... It's a more quantifiable way of approaching it.
If you're looking to build an online store so you can get a deeper understanding of Python: go ahead.
If you're actually looking for the most efficient way of putting up something online and start selling, you're better of hitting WooCommerce, shopify, etsy or looking at other solutions on ProductHunt.
Best :)
Not delegating parenting to the app hehehe
Although the brazilian federal police has been working nonstop, we'd be hardpressed to expect a .csv journaling political shenanigans.
This project has my support nonetheless :)
Entertaining read.
