the CEO actually posted in twitter that leaving Italy is one of the options (as stopping all free services for Italy and stop offering support and free service to the Italian Winter Olympics)... other option is complaining to Trump, so he "talks" with the Italian Government

Notice that a full court order is not the problem, that they would accept, they are refusing a DMCA like request that some groups (usually football related) do, that were allowed to do by a half-ass law, without any court order or verification... So those groups can say slashdot.org is bad, everyone have to block slashdot all over the world, without any fallback, challenge, approved by any judge, anything at all. The law may have been pressured to stop football IPTV, but can be applied to anything

The problem here is that cloudflare is asked to remove the pirate DNS not only from Italy, but from all world!
and it is not a court order, is a half ass rule that some groups can make the request just because they want to... think in to the DMCA USA requests, but with even less oversight and trying to apply to all world, not just the country

cloudflare contest the DMCA, of course they would also contest this Italian version

The radicals in PLA want Israel gone, just like most muslin around Israel (even against their own government/kings)
The moderated PLA and surrounding governments know that is impossible and accept that Israel do exists and is there to stay

The problem is exactly that, radical actions from Israel power the radicals in the muslin side (groups, countries, people) , stealing strength from the moderated people. ISIS exist because many muslin people feel they are being ignored and discarded. On the Israel side, radicals also gain more power from hamas actions, but in much less extend, as even without Hamas crimes, Settlers think they have the divine right to take over whatever they want.

>The PLA won't accept a two-state solution, they want Israel gone. Given how much you are defending the PLA, I think you want Israel gone, too.

Hey, don't play the Anti-Semitic card here, i defend both moderated sided and i dislike both radical sides exactly because they keep ruining any peace attempt!

Just because someone points a finger when someone do bad things , doesn't make that the first one hates the second and wants it to die or disappear. That is the radical view. People point fingers to try to improve the other person actions!

Most people know what is bad and good, the grey zone is always harder and personal, but almost everyone in the world think that BOTH Israel (leaders, radicals and army not exactly all Israel people) and Hamas ( globally, there are too few moderated there for any good thing to happen) did bad things.

everyone is waiting to see the next steps... but RIGHT NOW, everything is the same, minus the president and several soldiers dead

don't kid yourself, maduro had many supporters, not everyone disliked him... if it wasn't the USA embargo, economy would struggle so hard and he would have probably much support... but with the economy down, he lost many supporters, but there are still many left

again, for what will happen, everyone is waiting to see... locally, people want to find food and keep doing business and will not do any revolution until they have more info

that base is useless to start any attack, it is mostly radar station
on the other hand, Greenland have so few people that a few helis and naval unload are enough for a military take over

Now calling NATO to respond to one attack could be possible, it could require USA expulsion first... but the UK nukes are really controlled by USA, i suspect UK would never vote for it (UK is really a vassal of USA at this point)

Also, central/south america is USA playground, just as old URSS countries are Russia playground. Ukraine would never happened if Europe and USA didn't see Russia as fragile and weak... but they were not that weak after all (and also not as strong as they imagine themselves too)

With Russia busy, Europe economically dependent of the USA, we have China... that is also expanding their influence but will not risk the profit they make in the USA just because a country on the other side of the world... they are reserving themselves for Taiwan first

right now the control is still in the same people, it just changed the president...
Even if the USA manage to change the government, without troops in the ground to control it, that also do not match a invasion, that is just pressure to a peaceful government change (or a civil war if it is not that peaceful)

so i'm on the Polymarket "side" (not that i support betting, i actually think it is the most dump thing to do and everyone that bets deserve to lose their money always)

i say exactly the same to you, just because you don't agree in everything do not make the opposite automatically false

>>but probably now are much more open to the 2 states...
>Why do you think this? Go do actual research and find out what they think. It will be a much better use of your time.

hey, the facts show that, you are the one ignoring them! PLA have been trying to get recognitions all over the place, they join several UN organization (where they have been accepted), they welcome international recognition of the Palestinian state and open embassy were they can. That doesn't look they are rejecting the 2 stated... again, what they rejected was the all package (the extended borders that Israel wants... of course PLA wants all land, so Israel, the acceptable solution is getting a middle ground but the OSLO still gives way too much land to Israel, specially due to the settlers issue)

>It is easy to point fingers and say they rejected the 2 states
>Yes, because they rejected the 2 states many times, and continue to do so today.
As Israel reject dismantling the settlers in west bank and release control of "security areas", in fact, both continue expanding
Even talking with Israel made PLA weaker, imagine if they agree to a 2 states where they get a small corner of gaza, a few cities and a few rocky hills in west bank. Palestine need also to see something improving, not being forced to accept any bad deal

>> but the problem was that what was offered was not good enough, that is why OSLO was the start, not the full peace treaty.
> Stop imaging things. If you don't look for facts, you will always be wrong. What was offered?

i can give you facts, go read:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

look to the maps, look to this with special attention:

Use of Area C

OCHAoPt map of Area C. More than 99% of Area C is heavily restricted or off-limits to Palestinian development, with 68% reserved for Israeli settlements, approximately 21% for closed military zones, and about 9% for nature reserves. Construction permits for residential or economic purposes are, according to World Bank, "virtually impossible" for Palestinians to obtain.[19]

Area C, 99% of which is excluded from Palestinian use, contains most of the West Bank's natural resources and open spaces, access to which, according to the World Bank, would enable the Palestinians to halve their budget deficit and lead to an expansion of their economy by a third.[20][19] According to Danny Rubinstein: "Much land in Area C is undeveloped. Israel, however, does not permit Palestinian construction for residential, commercial or industrial purposes."[21]

everyone knows that the map will be one of the hardest thing to negotiate, that is why i believe in small steps as a big one is almost impossible to get support from both sided, specially now

>>I know that many Israel people do want peace, also in the Palestine side.
>How do you know this? Go search and do research. Find real facts and stop making things up.

yet, i'm the one that show some facts and you only reply with "stop making things up" and give no facts in return... i don't know, looks like you simply do not accept facts that are against your opinion... i do not want to change your opinion but have you ever consider that you may not have the all truth and are blind to the other side. I try to read about both sides, but if you have different facts that i'm blind, please post them (other than the land is Israel or Palestinian by God right, that is a weak argument when both religions praise peace and sharing)

Of course, i also blame Hamas and other Palestine radicals, but they are actually the end result of the Israel actions.
Everyone knew that the radicals of both side would make things hard. But instead of reducing their influence on both sides, the Israel actions gave power to both side radicals. Looking back, there was little that PLA could do to stop the Palestine radicals from growing, yet on the Israel side, more and more actions were done that fueled both side radicals. The only way for the Palestine radicals be weaker would be PLA be stronger and stop/contain Israel bad actions, to drain the radicals arguments that talks would not bring peace
