Stochastic terrorism folks.

Holy fuck that link. I guess Israel learned that Europeans (generally) won’t bend over backwards for their Apartheid (stares at USS Liberty).

car makers just jack up their prices so they make more off the subsidy

Exactly.

Really we should be subsidizing EVs from our own manufacturers.

You are. Still not doing much to corporate greed.

It does, but that’s the thing: It does either way. There should be no change due to the conversion of energy to mass.

Correct me if I am wrong, but as I understand it mass and energy is equivalent no?

Yes.

And it also still baffles us as to why rest mass and resultant mass from energy should be equivalent at all?

I don’t know about this one. I’m not an expert so don’t quote he on it, but I don’t remember hearing this before.

No no that’s a completely different phenomenon. This is the phenomenon involved in Hawking’s radiation and similar.

It’s that they’re using a more normal people term. They probably wanted to say vacuum.

So I wonder, even if it’s only appearing very briefly it’s still going to exert some small gravitational effect.

I don’t think so. Remember: This is energy being converted to mass, not mass coming out of nowhere.

Nope, they actually appear and disappear. The idea is that even in vacuum there’s a certain amount of background energy and that energy can randomly turn into matter-antimatter pairs in what is basically the inverse of matter-antimatter annihilation.

I mean true enough but that has nothing to do with preparing for war. To put it simply there’s a reason, say, Japan has an army despite their constitution denouncing war.

in the last election 70% of eligible voters voted, 23% voted for the likud (bibi).

I’m not talking about Likud alone; I’m talking about the right wing in general since they all seem to agree that they should steal Palestinian land for Lebensraum. Also I was specifically talking about his policies relating to Palestine, not as a whole.

Anyway I haven’t seen any evidence that there’s significant Israeli opposition against the genocide in Palestine, especially given that the Israeli right wing is actually growing.

And because he’s been Israel’s PM for about half the past 30 years. What I want to say is: Enough people like him that he keeps getting reelected, and even now people aren’t objecting to his policies but rather because he wants to sidestep democracy. I mean good thing they’re trying to defend “democracy” (it’s debatable how much an Apartheid state where 5 million people don’t have voting rights can call itself a democracy but that aside) but the fact that words like “war crime” or “genocide” don’t appear even once in this article (except when talking about October 7th) is very damning.

Just saying, this is the same excuse Zionists use for why Palestinians should just give up and accept their fate.

True enough but let’s not forget that there’s a reason Netanyahu is called the king of Israeli politics. His policies represent a majority of Israel’s voting popuation.

I mean in the modern Israeli Nazi-like political climate it’s the best we’re gonna get.

Now maybe all of that is baseless rumors being spread by braindead Biden cheerleaders

Yes. Israel has been obviously breaking international law, using American weapons (including the infamous 2000 pound bombs) for a while now. Many individual Israeli actions have been called warcrimes by various NGOs, up to and including the UN. If he wanted to do anything he’d have done it already. He also wouldn’t match bold-faced Israeli propaganda (like the 40 dead babies debacle).

You have no basis for your assertion that Biden is even doing worse than average, so stop trying to act like it’s an established fact.

I do: Biden is one of the few US presidents who hasn’t stopped Israel when they did something this out of proportion. Again, this man is doing worse than Reagan and Bush. Do you understand how low the bar he’s failing to meet is?

As an Egyptian, you’re overthinking it. Almost all Arabs have a very similar image of Israel because we’ve seen firsthand (or secondhand from Palestinians) how ridiculously horrible Israel is.

Iran isn’t popular with Arabs, but they’re much more popular than Israel.

Well, you just revealed your true colors. Congrats.
