If your idea of winning an argument is to pretend I said things I never did, why even bother joining the conversation?

MrNaz claimed Israel supporters often make arguments based on starting "halfway through the story". So I asked him where the story's start point really is. I know what his answer likely is, but unlike you, I refuse to assume the worst about people I'm debating.

The only thing I think that the whole Palestine / Israel issue needs is a pretty simple exposition of the facts and history. It's not complex. It's just that the facts are deliberately smeared and obfuscated to make the whole thing LOOK complex when it's not.

It's as simple as Apartheid South Africa was.

At least, it's not complex if you decide to filter out pertinent facts. If you decide to actually get the context, complex it is, and no side turns out looking particularly nice.

Submission + - Samba gets funding from the German Sovereign Tech Fund.

Jeremy Allison - Sam writes: The Samba project has secured significant funding (€688,800.00) from the German
Sovereign Tech Fund (STF) to advance the project. The investment was
successfully applied for by SerNet. Over the next 18 months, Samba developers
from SerNet will tackle 17 key development subprojects aimed at enhancing
Samba’s security, scalability, and functionality.

The Sovereign Tech Fund is a German federal government funding program that
supports the development, improvement, and maintenance of open digital
infrastructure. Their goal is to sustainably strengthen the open source
ecosystem.

The project's focus is on areas like SMB3 Transparent Failover, SMB3 UNIX
extensions, SMB-Direct, Performance and modern security protocols such as SMB
over QUIC. These improvements are designed to ensure that Samba remains a
robust and secure solution for organizations that rely on a sovereign IT
infrastructure. Development work began as early as September the 1st and is
expected to be completed by the end of February 2026 for all sub-projects.

All development will be done in the open following the existing Samba
development process. First gitlab CI pipelines have already been running [4]
and gitlab MRs will appear soon!
