False, zionists first slaughtered over 600 unarmed villages before Israel born.

Nope. As you say, Israel wasn't born yet so there wasn't the central planning and control nor a controlling authority, That said, in that chaotic period the general behavior was to aggressively counterattack those who attacked first. The villages completely destroyed pretty much attacked a Jewish village first and failed. Also the unarmed villagers were generally driven off not killed.

IDF uses human shields, even children.

Nope.

Your kind of lies don't fly any more, the who world sees what Israel is.

Yes, they are seeing an Army doing more to minimize civilian casualties during combat operations than pretty much any other Army in history.

Israel has more human rights condemnation resolutions than all other nations of the world combined.

Politics plus a healthy dose of preexisting hatred. The only thing preventing humanitarian relief today is Hamas and the continued holding of hostages.

And those residents you mention complain of discrimination and harassment, they are 2nd class citizens.

Yes, true in some aspects. Yet they have Arab political parties, members in parliament, a Supreme Court judge is Arab, they have jobs in the civil service, state run companies must have at least one Arab on its board, Arabs serve in the IDF - including as generals, Jews and Arabs have exactly the same civil rights, however Arabs cannot be drafted into the IDF, they must volunteer. Does defining Israel as a Jewish State make some feel second class, yes. The same as Jews and Christians living in Islamic countries. Are some Jewish Israeli's suspicious or hostile, bigoted, yes. Does less government money go to Arab neighborhoods, yes. And the largest grievance of all is with respect to the right of return, here Arabs are absolutely discriminated against. However most of these Arab that fled did so after fighting and losing, or were removed by Arab forces who then went on to lose. Did some innocents who were not engaged in the fighting get caught up in that, sure. And it's harsh to assume guilt without evidence, but that's what happens in war. Again, the villages that remained peacefully were generally left alone. And they live in peace to this day. The PLO, Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, etc are what brings the true pain and misery to the Palestinian people; they are what prevents peace and development of Gaza and other regions.

Israel is a racist ultra-right state, white Ashenazi jews the preferred and master race

Nope, Neither racist nor ultra right. As mentioned above Arab citizens have the exact same legal rights. Politically they have a typical left, center, right sort of split.

Comment Tik Tok will be OK with US servers & without C (Score 2, Insightful) 96

Reality is that they don't want to kill Tik Tok, what they don't want is Chinese Communist Party involvement. They don't want Tik Tok used as a CCP propaganda and disinformation tool, nor as surveillance tool for the CCP to profile Americans. Remove connections to the CPP and keep servers and data in the US and Tik Tok will be fine.

Comment Graph of lifetime prices may be 'U' shaped (Score 4, Interesting) 80

This is a common misconception with mature processors, they aren't all that cheap.

A lifetime graph of a device's price is not necessarily a descending asymptotic line. Its often 'U' shaped, after some optimal point the price starts going up. Declining use leads to a loss of efficiency of scale..

And before that it was called Canaan. Should we bring the Canaanites back to displace the Israelites?

Bring them back? The Palestinians are Canaanites.

And anyway most European Jews are Ukrainian origin.

Interbreeding with others during the diaspora does not change their Jewish origins. Neither does the Canaanite interbreeding with invading Arabs change their Canaanite origins.

The Khazar khaganate in the Donbass converted to Judaism ...

The Khazar Khaganate was multiethnic, pagan, jewish, christian, muslim, and others. As I said, there was interbreeding during the diaspora. Religious conversion is common when people of different origins marry.

... and most Ashkenazi Jews dont look like anything in the middle east.

That happens with interbreeding. What is more important than looks though is keeping the faith, literally, during hard times. Are the pales skinned blue eyed muslims of the Khazar Khaganate not muslim?

Most of the Jews from ancient times converted. Their descendants are the Palestinians.

Some stayed and converted, some stayed and maintained their jewish identity, and some fled and maintained their jewish identify and their descendants decided to return. And those returning descendants were content to live in peace with those who did not flee. Each believing as they wished. Again, Palestinian residents of Israel and Palestinian citizens of Israel live in peace in Israel.

So European Jews are not really coming back to an homeland.

One does not lose jewish identity because one parent was a convert, again its more about keeping the faith through the centuries.

It would be like Indonesians coming to Arabia and kicking the Arabs out and claiming they are just coming back to their Islamic homeland

Indonesians do live in Arabia, peacefully, like the Arabs living in Israel, peacefully.

Zionism is the terrorist death cult, committing ethnic cleansing, war crimes and atrocities for decades.

Nope. Israeli Jews have lived in peace with other peoples who lived in peace with them, as numerous Palestinian residents of Israel and Palestinian citizens of Israel have done for decades. Israeli soldiers do not use civilians as human shields, they do not send out civilians as suicide bombers.

If Zionists believed that Jews and non-Jews can live together in peace they would have just stayed in Europe instead of trying to create a Jewish homeland in the middle East.

What we call Palestine in WW2 days was once called Israel in biblical times. The main principal of zionism is that jews are returning to their original homeland.

Today's ACM is based on the limitation of having a human pilot. A lot of space and weight in today's aircraft is for a human pilot.

Entirely new tactics would be developed for unmanned aircraft.

We don't need 11G capable aircraft because everyone else is limited to human capabilities. If a machine is developed that can precisely maneuver, aim and fire while at 11G everything changes. And the precision of control is probably more important than speed itself.

BVR was not a failure in Vietnam. It was a political mandate in Vietnam not to use it.

BVR was a failure in a 1960s Arab-Israeli war, in particular I think against the Egytians.

With sufficient radar intelligence, I think AWACs in Saudi watched aircraft take-off in Iraq and tracked them, or sufficient rarity of US aircraft in a region, ie parts of North Vietnam, BVR works just fine. The failure in the Sinai (?) was due to the confusing number of outbound and inbound aircraft from both sides. A returning Israeli sortie being mistaken for an inbound Egyptian (?) strike.

Comment Original F-16 exceeded human capabilities (Score 1) 69

They would hit the airframe limits before the human pilot limits, just as human pilots of F16's have done many times, to the annoyance of the maintenance crews.

The original F-16 exceeded human capabilities. It was original designed outside the Pentagon's control by a rouge group. This group hated the concept of multi-mission aircraft and wanted a pure fighter. If a proposed capability would require a compromise to air-to-air performance it was rejected. The aircraft could survive sustained maneuvers the pilot could not.

Once the Pentagon got control they evolved the F-16 into a multi-mission aircraft, trading off some air-to-air performance.

If your statement is accurate it would apple the the latter, not the original pure fighter.

It was Palestinian beach-front real-estate. Google some photos of Gaza from before Israel turned it into a prison, it was a nice place.

Israel left Gaza decades ago, the Palestinian people there had international support and could have returned Gaza to it magnificence. Instead some chose the PLO, Hamas, and other terrorist groups as leadership, others forcefully dominated by these terrorists groups and caught in the middle -- often intentionally by these terrorist groups -- and suffering.

Today, Palestinians suffer for one reason. Hamas and other terrorists will not return the hostages they kidnapped.

And Israel was founded by Holocaust survivors.

Nope. Native Palestinian Jews, pre-war Jewish emigrants, and post-war Jewish emigrants which include Holocaust survivors.

The survivors who survived by turning Judenrat and helping the Nazis to kill other Jews.

Nope. While such jews did exist, as did other who participated in other crimes against prisoners, they were few in number. When an Israeli government was initially created one of the first things it did was establish laws to prosecute Nazis and Nazi collaborators, including prisoners who acted as camp kapos or ghetto police.

Zionism and Nazism agree that Jews and non-Jews should not stay together in peace.
