Hasbara much?
In fact, there'd be only "Infinity"...
Yes, it's what we call "god". "god" is everything, and everything is "god".
Everything. Except for you. And except for me. Oh, and not that Baruch Spinoza guy.
That is an "engineering approximation" of a mathematical circle...

Don't be ridiculous. The dinosaurs lived long before the GNU utils were written. They would have been compressed.
Israel is a racist, fascist little hole, promoting genocide and ethnic cleansing.
Many of the Gazans are Christian. From the 2009 assault on Gaza:
"Israeli missiles hit Hamas targets but also destroyed civilian buildings in the densely packed territory, including a Christian medical clinic in Shijaiya that had provided free health care to the poor since 1968. Atallah Tarazi, a Christian surgeon at Gaza City's Shifaa Hospital, said two ambulances were hit and six of his paramedics killed, and lamented the high percentage of civilian casualties received by his hospital.
Gaza's Christian community of 2,500 suffered at least three deaths in the fighting—including 14-year-old Christine Turok, who died of a heart attack from fear—and Gaza Baptist Church and the Palestinian Bible Society were damaged by Israeli airstrikes.
A broad cross-section of Christian agencies mobilized aid to Gaza and southern Israel.

Some Palestinians have, if at all, just seconds to leave before an attack but many do leave and flee to the school buildings that under control of the United Nations. The schools are opened especially for this and the UN personnel take care of the refugees and keep both "militants" and weapons out of its buildings.
It also provides the Israeli military with the exact coordinates of the schools. So guess what happens next:
Israeli shells hit UN shelter in Gaza:
As many as 30 people have been reported killed and 100 injured in the Israeli shelling of a UN school in Gaza that was being used as an emergency shelter.
Al Jazeera's correspondent Nicole Johnston, reporting from Gaza, said the school in Beit Hanoun came under shelling on Thursday. She said sources had told Al Jazeera that up up to 30 people had been killed in the bombardment.
The AFP reported a UN official as confirming "multiple dead and injured".
In an interview with Al Jazeera, Robert Turner, the director for UNRWA, the UN's refugee organisation in Gaza, said there was no warning from the Israelis before the shells landed. He confirmed there were casualties.
He said the UNRWA were in contact with Israeli forces about a window to evacuate the school before the attack happened
"This is a designated emergency shelter," he said. "The location was conveyed to the Israelis.
"This is the fourth strike on our installations in three days."
Four attacks on well known refugee centers within three days. Does anyone still believe that such attacks are some random accidents?
You basically argue: "We have a right to violate the norm of humanity and just, moral behavior because of a military expediency."
I spoke with the head military lawyer for the IDF, Joel Zinger. And I said “It’s clear you people are inflicting Nuremberg crimes on the Palestinians. Exactly what the Nazis did to the Jews. What’s your explanation?”
He said: “Military necessity.”
Notice, he didn’t disagree with me.
I said: “That argument was rejected at Nuremberg when the lawyers for the Nazis made it.”
And then he said: “Well, we have public relations people in the United States and they handle these matters for us.”

When it comes down to it, Gaza was provoked into lobbing "Estes model rockets" into the land of their attackers, and then Israel respond with cluster munitions, flechette weapons and white phosphrous on the heads of children and cripples.
This is what I would expect from your shitty little racist country.
And are you seriously telling me if she gets an iphone 64 GB 5S it's the same price as if she gets the $20 special?
In many cases... yes. The most expensive phones have an up-front cost in addition to the two-year commitment, but if you get the most expensive phone you can without an up-front fee, then there is no price difference between that one and the cheapest phone.
Yes, this is ridiculous.
Lemme guess. YOU have a horse in this race...
Israel is an illegal colony, built on the murder and displacement of natives...
No wonder the only country supporting them is... the US. Also built on the blackened bones and murdered children of the people here before them.
On the one hand, I like my glasses. They have also prevented stuff from getting in my eyes more than once.

Saudi? Hey! And Israel! Don't forget NSA and Israel - the most moral military on earth! They bomb hospitals under UN protection with the morality of the old testament!
Chump change for these guys. The NSA spend more with Narus and Verint.
