I'd like to see a tracking of the eyes of the guy who runs the server, are they darting furiously or are they just staring blankly into the distance?

Before reading the parent's post I was seeing number 2 going in a totally different direction.

From Wikipedia:

Historically, selective enforcement is recognized as a sign of tyranny, and an abuse of power, because it violates rule of law, allowing men to apply justice only when they choose. Aside from this being inherently unjust, it almost inevitably must lead to favoritism and extortion, with those empowered to choose being able to help their friends, take bribes, and threaten those from they desire favors.

You know, Israel actually tried getting into the fighter-aircraft business once.
And I hear it was a pretty good plane, but in the end the US and Israel came to a mutual agreement that's it would be for the best if Israel didn't export a competitor to the F-16 and Israel continued getting subsidized planed from the US.
So I doubt Israel would want to get into the fighter-aircraft business now, and anyway, Israel is doing pretty well on the UAV side of things.

More like $1100 if you'll want 128GB and the keyboard cover.
But I for one actually do want one.
I just did a comparison with a similarly configured Thinkpad X230T which would cost $1,470.60 with the coupon they're currently offering.

The differences that I couldn't configure for are:
Resolution: 1366x768 on the Thinkpad vs 1920x1080 pixels on Surface Pro.
Weight/Size: Surface Pro has nearly half the weight and under a third of the volume.
Battery life: The review I saw of the default battery pack for the Thinkpad does around two and a half hours, if the Surface actually does four then that's a pretty big win too.
Build quality: Thinkpad is not quite as good as it used to be and I can't really speculate on Microsoft, I guess the whole Red Ring thing could be used to argue against it.

It also remains to be seen if the stylus is any good.

You'd probably find different specs/prices from other manufacturers but I'm just used to using Thinkpads and I think the surface has a similar aesthetic.

So I guess it isn't for everyone, but for my needs which include drawing with a stylus in Photoshop, mild use of 3D applications, some typing, internet use, not being too much of a burden to take with me, it seems pretty great and I'll probably get one as soon as all the reviews are in if there's nothing fatally flawed with it.

Yeah, just the other day I was out on da streets minding my own business and suddenly a harras (had to look that one up) of horses sporting butterfly knives come out of nowhere and takes all my valuables with threats to my person.
When will this horsepower on the streets ever stop?

I don't know what you would consider going out of its way but Israel does provide electricity to Gaza, humanitarian aid does goes through, Palestinians in need for specialized medical attention go through to get it in Israel, all this even during the rocket attacks on our cities.

And what you've mentioned are political goals, not military goals, worsening your own population's conditions and getting your headquarters targeted is not a military goal.

When I said 'vandalism at most' I was referring to their actions, not to their being there.
As far as I know Israel doesn't in any way actively 'import its population into occupied territory'.

I do know that Israel used its own armed forces to remove all Israeli settlers from the Gaza strip and all it got in return was a bunch of angry settlers and some more rocket launches closer to the border.
And it does use it's own armed forces to dismantle new settlements in the west bank that these people keep trying to put up.

I agree that you could consider not evacuating them and providing military protection as tacit agreement but it's not the same as importing and ethnic cleansing and I'm sure that at least some of the settlers have legal claim on their land which would have to be worked out in an agreement between the two sides.

Here's my perspective as an Israeli (and not a particularly nationalistic or right wing one):

Hamas and their affiliates specifically target civilians.
They shoot rockets at random into civilian population, they bomb buses.
Last year there was a case where an anti-tank missile was shot at a school bus specifically marked as such.
In another case last year two Palestinian men infiltrated a settlement and killed an entire family, they literally slit the throats of and eleven year old, four year old and three months old children.
And when an event like this happens there is dancing and giving out of candy in the streets of Gaza.

These actions have no military purpose, as far as I understand it they are motivated by hate, religious indoctrination and the need of groups like Hamas to gain prestige to perpetuate their rule.

Now, on the Israeli side, rockets are shot into our civilian population and buses explode and the duty of the government is to protect its population, if a rocket launcher in operating from inside a civilian population that's unfortunate but to the government the safety of our population has priority over the safety of theirs, and if it's deemed that a high-level planner of attacks must be killed then an assassination will be planned to minimize collateral damage but you can't wait indefinitely.

I won't deny that on the individual level you won't find soldiers who get off on the power trip of humiliating someone going through their checkpoint or maybe steal in iPod while going through a person's stuff but that does not express the values of the IDF and if they are caught they will be jailed and they will be expelled from the army.

On the Palestinian side, if you perform a suicide bombing, if you're sitting in the Israeli jail for an attack, your family will receive a stipend, you will be considered a hero, there will be pictures of you on billboards and you will get streets and schools named after you.

As for the Settlers, I think they're assholes, my friends who serve in the army and come in contact with them generally express the sentiment of 'Why do I have to come here and protect these assholes for their fucked up ideology?'.
But except for very few cases their actions amount to vandalism at most.
And these actions are considered criminal, there's even a special department in the secret service dedicated to infiltrating them, arresting them, expelling them from the territories an generally thwarting them.

Now if you look at the numbers you'll see more the death ratio in every conflict heavily weighted towards the Palestinian side (due to their methods of attack being less accurate, our side having early warning systems, bomb shelters for every person) but I do believe that one side specifically targeting civilians with the other side trying to avoid civilian casualties doesn't make both sides morally equal.
There's this quote that goes "if the Arabs lay down their arms there will be no more war, but if Israel lays down its weapons there would be no more Israel." .
And while this is a pretty simplistic cliche that ignores historical, geopolitical and what have you claims in the region, I do believe that it is in essence true.

In 2012 , a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum-security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem...if no one else can help...and if you can find them...maybe you can hire...Seal Team Six.

But then discussing Sauronsaur on Sauronsaur violence would be rendered utterly silly.

Plus, if you have a magic wand that turns all existing cars into electrics overnight you might either want to try using it on the energy industry as well or call your DM a dick for coming up with such single use item.

Can someone please mod offtopic?
This clearly has nothing to do with apostrophes.

Apophis 2029!
Eco-climatological change you can believe in!

You mean 'Liberated'.
