NVIDIA just came out with a new chip platform called "Vera Rubin", and four of the six chips involved were developed chiefly by their Israeli team.

This has massive implications for the US-Israel relationship going forward. Now that AI is becoming a national security issue, and several departments of the US government are paranoid about being overtaken by China in the AI race, we'll probably be seeing MORE US-Israel cooperation in the coming years, not less.

What this war has taught me is that our regional enemies are about as delusional as I thought, but not as dumb as I thought, but also not nearly as deviously ingenious as some Israelis make them out to be. Yes, they really thought that they'd be able to conquer all of Israel - with the help of the "Axis". This was delusional.

But their tactics for doing so were logical, and had their allies come through for them, they would've hurt us far worse than they already did on 10/7.

There's a lot of genuine criticism to be had about public coed education, but an adult speaking like this is just whiny and cringe.

There has never been a time in history when schools let boys be boys. Up until fairly recently, that meant male teachers publicly spanking, switching, or paddling male students. Often for petty infractions like "being distracted".

That is what RETVRN would look like.

The truth is, a lot of Sunni Arabs DO consider the Druze to be "settlers", just like how they accuse the Assyrians of being settlers.

More and more, "settler" is being used to mean "non-Arabs" or "non-Muslims". I suspect the Palestinian Christians have been spared only because they're so politically useful.

Palestinian Jews. Do they exist?

A thread: There are many people, especially on the political left, who insist that Palestinians Jews exist. Often as a means of trying to downplay the hatred of Jews that permeates Palestinian society.

"No," they say. "Palestinians hate Zionists, not Jews. What about Palestinian Jews?"
