@wikileaks Well, those cables are old news. Netannyahu has since acted very differently. Netanyahu has actually showed (in actions, not words, mind you) that he prefers a separate government in Gaza, even if it is a Hamas one. After the war in 2014 it was quite possible to use diplomacy to force a unification of the two Palestinian governments. But Netanyahu prevented this.Yet another clueless expert?

@edgeoforever @inkican @Some_Emo_Chick Is it really important who founded the company? Musk bought himself the right to claim so. But anyway, Musk has been a "manager" of sort of the company since 2004. By 2009 those two were no longer involved in the company (pushed out?)So by now, the success, failure, reputation and wrongdoings of Tesla Inc. are much more the work of Musk than theirs.

@oatmeal @theceoofanarchism @Sherifazuhur @israel If that is your opinion then feel free to accomodate for Smotrich. He's no different than those evil folks at the Left, right?

@oatmeal @histodons @palestinian @israel BTW: according to Israeli copyright law of pre 2008 (basically the British 1911 copyright law with patches), any picture published more than 50 years ago is in the public domain. Were those pictures published in any way?There are various groups (e.g. Wikimedia people) who tend to get such old pictures released for thoe grounds.Disclaimer: IANAL

@agx @nieral @postmarketOS @signalapp Just some feedback: I was about to ask the same question:Flare (or the official Desktop client, or others) probably work. As long as you can register an account. So far I have failed to find a method to register a phone number / account with Signal.

@KarunaX @oatmeal @histodons @israel @palestine You mean: as in the killing of Jews and Christians in Jerusalem, Hebron and Zefat time of the Peasant Revolt of 1834?

@oatmeal @KarunaX @histodons @israel @palestine Right. Everything was good under the Ottoman (an empire of Turks from Mid-Asia). That period is simply not as well documented, but you have some stories of how this village came to be after a group of people had to run away from a vendetta in another place. Peaceful it was not.

@oatmeal @WahbAllat @palestine @israel @wikipedia Never? I took a random pick of Lajjun . It seemed more comprehensive than other articles I remembered. So I checked three others whose names I did not remember. Three of the four mentioned attacks as the cause (in one of the three: abandoned after Tiberias was taken).There is quite some activity on those articles in hewiki.Articles:* Lajjun* Ghuwayr Abu Shusha* איסדוד / إسدود* Al-Mirr

@oatmeal @WahbAllat @palestine @israel @wikipedia I checked the edit history for the article of Lajjun:https://he.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D7%9C%D7%92%27%D7%95%D7%9F&action=historyInitial work was done by an editor (Left-leaning) on Apr-25 2023. A while later you naturally see other editors working on it, as it is a new article. One of them is a known Right-leaning editor. So the article got the attention. And so far so good.Note that on hewiki there is distrust for some Palestinian historians. In this case a major source is Morris's book.

@oatmeal @WahbAllat @palestine @israel @wikipedia Note that the Hebrew and the English articles provide completing narratives. The English article completely misses the Jewish forces' motivation of the time: the road to Jerusalem. The Hebrew article notes that the village was a base to several Arab military units at the time and notes the fierce battle there. It notes that the village was abandoned, but as part of a paragraph that describes an attack on it.

@oatmeal @WahbAllat @palestine @israel @wikipedia Hmm.... some facts in that Hebrew article seem to be based on non-optimal sources. Maybe this could be improved.

@oatmeal @israel @palestine There's much misinformation floating around about Deir Yassin, so just to note:* Some 1,000 people lived in the village. Of those a few more than 100 died (107? 110?).* The village had Jewish lands to its East, but Arab villages to its South West and North West.* There was an attempt to avoid fighting with them, but that was gradually collapsing due to the war all around.* The attack on them was indeed pointless and served no strateic need....

@oatmeal @israel @palestine People of Deir Yassin were generally well-prepared for an attack. They fended it off as well as they could. The battle there lasted well until late noon when the defenders ran out of ammo.So did the attackers, but they were resupplied by Haganah forces and also got an extra machine gun unit. And a force of the Arab Liberation Army in Ein Karem not only did not join the fight but didn't even resupply them ammunition.

@oatmeal @israel @palestine After the Deir Yassin attack practically everybody had an interest in portraying in as a massacre (including Palestinian deliberate misinformation).But this version mostly agrees with quite a few Palestinian researchers. For instance, a book by Walid Khalidy counts a list of 100 people who died in the battle.The myth is heavily entrenched in Israeli politics where the traditionally leftists ones sided with Meir Pa'il's unreliable testimony.

@faab64 @palestine Reminder: destruction of roads is because Palestinian freedom fighters hide explosive changes under them to be detonated when the right vehicle drives there.

@faab64 @palestine War isn't a fair game.Undermining roads to stall / stop attackers was a neat trick: it worked quite nicely in Jenin at the time. It turned out that there's a simple trick against it.

@CosmicTrigger @faab64 @palestine Note: I was not referring to Gaza. I was referring to the militants in Nur Shams (an UNRWA refugee camp in the West Bank. See the OP).@roland indeed, that's the problem with such tricks (both of them).
