The chronological order is:

1. 1967 war, Israel captures Gaza but doesn't annex it, assuming it will be traded back to Egypt for peace with the rest of Sinai and trying to avoid another refugee situation.

2. 1973, settlements are built in the strip.

3. 1979, peace accord with Egypt, Gaza remains under Israeli control.

4. 1993, Israel starts peace negotiations with the Palestinians based on a 2 state solution. All peace talks brake down and the 1st and later 2nd intifada start, thousands of Israelis die in terror attacks. In 2001 rocket fire starts from Gaza to Israel and is stopped by ground operations.

5. 2005, Israel unilaterally cedes Gaza to the Palestinians, based on the assumption it is politically impossible for them to sign a peace accord but they really would like to live in peace. To do this, every Jew is removed from the strip, many by force by the IDF; every settlement is removed, every military base abandoned, many agricultural tools and lands left untouched for Palestinians to use (these were burned down by cheering Palestinians). Israeli presence in the strip is completely removed, and many agreements are signed that aren't peace accords that would allow for a "cold war, silent peace" type of existence side by side - about access, about water, etc.

6. 2006, Israel votes in Ehud Olmert as PM on a platform of doing the same in the WB. The Palestinians vote in Hamas on the platform of killing all Jews, seeing the retreat from Gaza as a military victory. The PA suspends future elections and refuses to give power to Hamas. War for gaza breaks out, Hamas kills all PA members in Gaza and takes over, cancelling all previous agreements with Israel. Israel, aided by the European quartet, starts the siege.

2nd Lebanon war breaks out; Olmert says this is proof that the world would side with Israel if Israel will deal fairly with the Palestinians and that Israel's right to self defense will be honored. During the war, Hamas fires rockets on Israel, putting a final end to the idea of a unilateral end to the occupation in the WB. Olmert turns to peace talks with the semi-legitimate Abbas.

7. 2008, peace talks go on and on until Olemet quits - he has several corruption charges pending and quits to deal with the trial. No peace is achieved. Netanyahu win on the platform of not being stupid enough to give more land to the Palestinians, since they don't seem to be interested in peace and are constantly shooting rockets at Israel. Basically status quo since then.

There's much more, but this is an overview of the situation. You can read more on any part of this, but the gist is that Israel tried your way honestly and got war in response. The occupation ends when the Palestinians choose peace.

Not Kratos, but pretty well muscled.

I wasn't so muscular that women approached, at least not that I noticed - it was still me doing the approaching, to the same general type; the women I was approaching were more receptive the more I lifted.

My point is mainly that men think that women like strong muscular men because that's our lived experience; it's not some random noise from the internet, it's just we see throughout our lives.

@xwanyex This pro-hamas, pro-terrorism, pro-october 7th account is right - he doesn't care about other people and it is impossible to explain to him that you should.

[Jesse FPV @JesseFPV]

@estherzelda0514 One of the reasons I bounced off hard off of GOW was how ugly Kratos is; it's just not fun being him. Fey in the new one is a huge improvement.

@xwanyex In America, the poor go without ozempic; the US is so rich that the poor are fat and the wealthy pay for a drug that makes them eat less.

[Jesse FPV @JesseFPV]

@DaveyPicture That's the version of him we like - petty, snippy, needlessly sarcastic and offensive. That's the persona, that's why people like House in the first place. He's just playing into it. Or is actually like that, who knows.

Still, all in good fun.

[Jesse FPV @JesseFPV]

@Rongwrong_ Yeah, it's a procedural - but instead of a police procedural it's a medical procedural. It's a type of show that doesn't really exist when you stream bing it over 3 weeks, but works VERY well when you watch it once a week for 8 years.

[Jesse FPV @JesseFPV]

No they don't. Israelis WANT to live in Israel because they have a cultural link to the land, but that doesn't grant any land rights.

What granted Israelis land rights was buying the land during the ottoman empire, and then organizing politically when Britain got the mandate to be a part of the mandate system, in an effort to create a democratic nation at the land, and fighting for it.

[Jesse FPV @JesseFPV]

TLJ's almost explicit message is that SW sucks and you suck for liking it. Kylo literally looks at the camera and mocks the viewer for daring to be engaged with TFA and thinking Ray is of some importance, as TFA hints very heavily. It's throughout the movie at every point - it hates SW and tries to convince you to do the same.

This is why people either hate it or think it's the best one - those who think it's the best one simply dislike everything else and think TLJ's is great for cutting the rest down, for mocking the tropes, for humiliating Luke. "What did you think is going to happen, Luke Skywalker would stop the invasion with a laser sword? Ha ha, stupid fans. This is more realistic".

We didn't want that, actually. We wanted him to be a Yoda like side character that teachs a new main character, because his story is over. He didn't need a new arc that starts with him somehow being a loser and ending with some sort of redemption for things that happened off screen that we are no invested in. But if you hate SW, that's what you want - to see him mocked and failing, you are already invested in that.

[Jesse FPV @JesseFPV]

@Average_NY_Guy The US's power over Israel stems from the security council veto, not the aid. Israel needs the US to veto action against it, and the US used that to strongarm Israel into the aid situation that mostly benefits the US.

[Jesse FPV @JesseFPV]

There's no financial incentive here - if you create a cool new character and attach it to Batman, DC owns it and you get nothing. If you save your good ideas for yourself while making a name for yourself with already existing characters, there's a chance you'll own your own characters and story and make bank on it.

@mightydudbolt "I know you like posting about movies you enjoy, but just admit you don't enjoy them!"

[Jesse FPV @JesseFPV]

@bloodoftheland Yes, but also 60y/o used to look a lot different in the 70s and 80s than they do today; we live better and age less visibility today, so a 60 y/o man doesn't look like that anymore.

Here's a picture of 55 y/o Ewan McGregor, for comparison with the 62 y/o Alec Guinness.

Yes, it is tiresome to be a carbon based lifeform, and eating really does never end, at least until they replace our stomachs with some sort of charging port.

But as long as you are human you are indeed going to eat 2-3 meals a day, and in the modern world that does mean deciding ahead of time what meals you are going to make. That interval can be once every 2 weeks when you go to a megastore, or twice a week when you go to a grocery store nearby, but you still need to plan all of it and there's no escaping it.

[Jesse FPV @JesseFPV]

@estherzelda0514 I've been talking about this for years. There is a basic misunderstanding here between why Jews WANT to live in Israel, which is a deep cultural and religious affinity to the land, and why Jews GET to live in Israel, which is political action.

[Jesse FPV @JesseFPV]

You do not understand the Zionist and Israeli position here.

The Zionist position is "Jews WANTED to live in Israel because of historical and cultural ties to the land, but they GET to live in Israel because they legally bought land since the 1850s, legally built on it, worked politically to gain independence and recognition world-wide, and fought against genocidal oppressors who wanted to conquer and kill them."

The indignanty of Jew, the promises of god in the bible, should only matter to Jews and doesn't grant any legal or formal right in the real world. This only comes up because Palestinian insist that they are indigenous and that it gives them the right to murder Jews and try to expel them from the land.

The article also glosses over who is buying these girls. A single unnamed relative is mentioned, but who is it and how come he has money be refuses to help the girl unless she becomes property? Who are the rest of the men who are buying children? Where do they come from, where do they get the money? How do you even know people who will buy children?

The only villain according to this story is the US government that refuses to foot the bill for the Taliban's failed economy. Every other person involved is either invisible or treated as a sympathetic poor man who just happened to fall into fathering 5 children and having no job prospects, ever. Go work for the bakery, go open a bakery, you lazy slob. Selling his daughter off instead of working is monstrous.

@MaxNordau "Shouldn't the rapist also have mace?"

[Jesse FPV @JesseFPV]

What is this "get"? Who is supposed to provide it and why..?

This isn't a video game where there's a designer balancing factions, making sure it's competitive. Israel has an Iron Dome because Israel invented the tech because Hamas and Hezbollah were shooting rockets at Israeli civilians for decades. No one gave Israel an Iron Dome, that's not how anything works.

@dilanesper No face in Hollywood would launch a thousand ships - they are all plastics and have the same interchangeable look.

There's maybe 1 barista in tel-aviv that has that kind of face, but otherwise that's not a kind of beauty that even exists anymore.

[Jesse FPV @JesseFPV]

@bendreyfuss He should have used Worf as an example - did you know it's a human in makeup and not an actual Klingon?
