Memo to Barack Obama re: Israel-Palestine

| | ##

Memo to Barack Obama re: Israel-Palestine by an Israeli veteran of the 1948 war. Points 4 and 5 are right on. The Terrorist State of Israel has systematically, by the use of occupying Arab lands and Genocide by bombing and killing, made peace impossible. And the US has supported this throughout the years because of the successful Israeli lobby that wines and dines law-makers in Washington. Barack Obama come into power in Washington with the promise to respect the law and not succumb to the lobbyist in Washington. Now its time to put actions into words and call out Israel for the murderers that they are. Also: I wish the Arab world was united and hit the US where it really hurt: Oil. By coming together and forming a blockade of oil, the Arabs could demand the US to drop support for Israel and work on real peace in return for the oil. But of course it will not happen. Not ever.

Well, if you read the history, Arabs are partially responsible for this mess. The sold their lands in 40’s to Jews for money right after jews migrated when hitler kicked them out! Arabs have become greedy and selfish thus are now responsible for the consequence of Jews occupation.

Usman: Absolutely bro! Thanks for calling that out! Absolutely. Arabs are as much to blame for this as the Israelis. Especially the Saudis. Scum!

Fully agreed. As mentioned before, in this conflict there is no one the right one. They’re all fucking idiots.

No, Ingo they are not equally wrong. Israel is a bigger Terrorist than the others in this conflict.

It’s wrong to kill. For both sides. I don’t care who’s ‘wronger’.

When you live and see the conditions that Palestinians live in, you will change your mind.

I’ve never been a fan of Israeli politics regarding Palestine (and no one should think my opinion is coloured by my own (far away) Israeli origin). I have Palestinian friends here in Germany and I totally agree with everyone who says that Israelis are assholes on this topic. I even had school buddies who were Palestinian and this is 20 years ago, and we had one opinion about that.

BUT! Violence is NEVER the right way, NEVER a solution. Firing rockets towards Israel(i civilians) is SHIT, attacking Palestine is shit as well. Understand me mate: SHIT keeps being shit, no matter where it comes from, no matter how BIG the shit is. I really can’t agree to anything that deals with violence.

As I have jewish roots (from Israel directly) I can only be ashamed for what Israelis are doing, tho I have nothing to do with it. I’m very far away from an attitude Israelis have these days. And before. And most probably after …

And I don’t think our opinion is very different. Look, I can be friend with anyone in the world, no matter what religion or culture he belongs to. I just don’t care about stuff like that as long as someone is interested in PEACE.

A pair of scientists looked at the rate at which the complexity of life increases and then extrapolated back to a point of zero complexity. Its around 10 billion years. Turns out life might be even older than Earth itself.

However, if life takes 10 billion years to evolve to the level of complexity associated with humans, then we may be among the first, if not the first, intelligent civilisation in our galaxy. And this is the reason why when we gaze into space, we do not yet see signs of other intelligent species.

Andrew Hyde released a new service today called 15 things and its making the rounds on social media. Simply put, its a list of things that you absolutely need when traveling.

I created my 15 Things list but I should point out that it doesnt include life’s basic necessities like vitamins, food, underwear, socks and such…

Check out 15 Things list here.

The White House was completely gutted and refurbished in 1950. Great photo essay!

Experts called the third floor of the White House “an outstanding example of a firetrap.” The result of a federally commissioned report found the mansion’s plumbing “makeshift and unsanitary,” while “the structural deterioration [was] in ‘appalling degree,’ and threatening complete collapse.” The congressional commission on the matter was considering the option of abandoning the structure altogether in favor of a built-from-scratch mansion, but President Truman lobbied for the restoration.

The area looked different than where we trained because we’re in Pakistan now. There are the lights, the city. There’s a golf course. And we’re, This is some serious Navy SEAL shit we’re going to do. This is so badass. My foot hit the ground and I was still running [the Bush quote] in my head. I don’t care if I die right now. This is so awesome. There was concern, but no fear.

An extra-ordinary piece of journalism in the March issue of esquire on the man that pulled the trigger on Bin Laden. This is riveting, must-read!

Replace the name Obama with Bush and you could imagine the uproar.

- New York Times editorial, on how Obama’s use of drones has been largely ignored by the liberals. Something Ive been saying for years.

Imagine at some point that you go to the doctor for a physical, they do a blood draw but also a cheek swab and a few days later, you get a link to a site that shows you everything that is right and wrong with you, and can then help figure out how to make things better. Syapse is trying to do just that. Sign me up!

So while Obama was telling the world that “a decade of war is ending” and that “all souls on Earth shall have equal access to happiness” he was busy waging war and killing… Esquire takes a look at Obama’s double standards on war and how he is the first president in history to target individuals with no regard for the rule of law and UN conventions.

Sure, we as a nation have always killed people. A lot of people. But no president has ever waged war by killing enemies one by one, targeting them individually for execution, wherever they are. The Obama administration has taken pains to tell us, over and over again, that they are careful, scrupulous of our laws, and determined to avoid the loss of collateral, innocent lives. They’re careful because when it comes to waging war on individuals, the distinction between war and murder becomes a fine one. Especially when, on occasion, the individuals we target are Americans and when, in one instance, the collateral damage was an American boy.

Lets not kid ourselves here. The problem isnt Obama, or Bush, or even a “President Romney.” The problem is American society and economy that lives and thrives on war and killing.

A great lesson for those of you who want to learn more about how focal length affects your subjects and perception in photography. Ive always found the “sweet spot” to be around 5 feet and 35mm, but of course it all depends on the subject and the environment. But anything less than 35mm will make your subjects look weird.

How come I never thought of this: In the future, we will all get our mail and packages from drones. The author explains it thusly:

Here’s a simplified version of what I’m talking about:

I put package onto a landing pad at my home.
Drone arrives, takes package and flies away.
Drone delivers package to landing pad at delivery location.

Great idea, and I do think this can / will happen probably within the next 25 years. With the advent of self-driving cars, there’s nothing stopping UPS to deliver mail using those self-driving vehicles, or drones.
