Sounds like we've got a clanker lover over here

Netanyahu came before Congress in 2002 to strongly urge the invasion of Iraq. What universe are you living in?

Ariel Sharon was the prime minister of Israel in 2002. Netanyahu was a civilian. You seem to be unable to tell these two very different people apart. I suggest going easy on the green stuff.

Current prime minister, former and future prime minister, that's an irrelevant distinction here. Clearly the Israelis thought the Iraq war was in their interest, which is the original claim here, and is clearly evidenced by Israeli attempts to lobby in favor of the invasion.

This is demonstrably false. Ariel Sharon lobbied against the invasion.

Netanyahu’s role is extremely relevant. There’s a big difference between a civilian’s personal opinion and official state policy.

Your original claim is false. End of story.

I don't think they're stupid and i don't fault them. I made extraordinary claims and it took me 20 years of seeing extraordinary evidence to face reality.

Every day you decide not to donate a fraction of your income to medicine in Africa. How many deaths are you responsible for?

having the power to destroy a government agency that provides aid and actually going through with it is not morally equal to not donating a few dollars of your income

1 - the moral calculus is different if you were already doing so and then suddenly shut it off

2 - i was happy with the arrangement of the government doing it on my behalf, and in doing so making the united states stronger and have allies around the world

3 - elon musk did this illegally

4 - elon musk also caused additional deaths by virtue of supporting trump, rfk, and these other lunatics which he was definitely affirmatively a part of doing

You are. We are. With our powers, and money is one of them, comes responsibility. We can decide how and if you respond, but it's still ours.

Ridiculous. Most of the world has a negative view of Zionism, as they should, and ethnosupremacy in general.

There's nothing supremacist about Zionism, it's just the support of Jewish self-determination. Efforts to twist it into something nefarious are just propaganda with no etymological basis.

Think about what you're saying. Zionism the idea that a particular ethnic group (the Jews) will have the authority to determine what happens in their country (Israel). That is a textbook case of ethnic supremacism. And that's not even mentioning the violent expulsion of the Arabs that this de facto entailed.

Most Zionists have a goal of preserving a Jewish majority for pragmatic reasons - history has shown that it's the only way to ensure the safety of Jews. That's not a supremacist ideology at all.

Moreover, no country is perfect, and we shouldn't have double standards just for Israel. Can you identify any other Middle Eastern country that compares favorably, in terms of diversity and tolerance of all religions and ethnicities?

If I were to say:

'I believe whites need to hold all authority in the United States, and must have a permanent demographic majority (for practical reasons, of course)'

then you might call me a white supremacist. I might reply:

'I'm not a supremacist, we must secure self-determination in order to secure the future of our people.'

You would gently remind me that this is exactly what a supremacist is.

So yes, please, no double standards. Also, the rest of the Middle East is just as bad, no arguments there, but it's beside the point.

Zionists aren't indigenous to Palestine and have no right to that land.

Zionism is a political view; a Zionist can be from anywhere just as a socialist can. Jews are indigenous to Judea though.

Others have a right to live in the region too, hence proposals to share the land, such as the partition plan or the 2000 Camp David offer.

Judaism is a religion. Jews are from all over the place. Almost none from Palestine.

"Judaism" sometimes refers to the religion, but many Jews are not religious. Jews are a group of people from Judea, hence its historical name. Some dispersion to other regions doesn't change where a group of people is from.

Judea does not exist. If you’re talking about Palestine, very few Jews are from there pre-dating Zionist invasion.

Most of the world has a positive view of self-determination for every other group; Ukrainians, Palestinians, the Irish, etc.

Hi! I'm sure this is very cool, but want to know what this does before I try it. I typed in the chat: what does this do? Will you build me an agent behind a phone number I can chat with? And it tried to open up iMessage which I denied because IDK in the first place what this is.

None of these things are the most likely reason. The national security establishment doesn't want a Chinese-allied socialist state with a regime perceived to be hostile in South America, especially if its resource-rich. But the timing is very convenient for burying the Epstein stuff.

Mistral is pursuing pursuing B2B use cases. Thats because they're releasing open models and the big thing about B2B is they HATE sending their data off-prem. OCR'ing and organizing old docs is a huge feature in B2B. Mistral's strategy seems smart to me.

Why did they make this model only available though their API then?

That is a good question, I don't know.

Does anyone actually not realize this was to stymie criticism of Israel? You Netanyahu bragging about how this is central to winning the propaganda war. Ellison is the biggest private donor to the IDF. Put it together.

Jonathan Greenblatt (CEO of the ADL) was on record saying "TikTok is Al Jazeera on steroids" before the ban bill got a lot of wind.

What's ironic is that ultimately their suspicion that TikTok was influenced by the PRC to push an anti-Israel agenda was most probably incorrect. Israel lost the narrative in the West because it simply did a lot of shitty things in the war, and everyone from homeless people to war refugees carry around an HD camcorder in their pocket now. I still see shocking videos of what the IDF is doing in Gaza on a monthly basis, on Instagram of all places.

Scaremongering about the PRC was just the public facing justification for the ban bill. Its not like they can just come out and say "The Israelis have me on tape violating children and so I need to pass this bill to let them take over the biggest social media platform they don't control already so they can face less criticism for their genocide".

+1 - the timing of the bill makes this extremely clear.

That and to promote the regime’s white supremacist agenda. (Expect to see a lot more nauseating propaganda along the lines of the memes that official Administration accounts have been posting.)

Did you create this account just to say stuff like this? Incidentally, TikTok is still as anti-Israel as ever.

Yeah, that's why they are trying to censor it and they are doing it actively, now they will do it more effective
