Israel-Gaza war: only a two-state solution can bring real peace, China president says in first public speech on conflict
  • Pretty much the point I've reached.

    Two states only "works" with the dissolution of Israel such as it is and the creation of an entirely new second state alongside Palestine. At which point, why not just have one state?

    You get one wish, but the genie always tries to curse it. What do you wish for?
  • I wouldn't wish. Shit always goes bad. Best cass scenario I learn a "valuable lesson" through some kinda hackneyed adventure. In the worst case scenario I'm cursed for eternity or some shit

    Does it not pierce thine very heart?
  • To my knowledge, most of it from antiquity was lost. Whish is what Ibn Khaldun was speaking about, not the scholarship for the Islamic period.

    Does it not pierce thine very heart?
  • “In a way [my undertaking] is an entirely original science. In fact, I have not come across a discussion along these lines anywhere. I do not know if this is because people have been unaware of it...[but] perhaps [people] have written exhaustively on this topic, and their work did not reach us... The knowledge that has not come down to us is, after all, larger than the knowledge that has. Where are the sciences of the Persians...the Chaldaeans, the Syrians, the Babylonians...the Copts and their predecessors? The sciences of only one people, the Greeks, have come down to us...as for the sciences of others, nothing remains.”

    Ibn Khaldun, 1332-1406 (as translated by Rosenthal)

    Hawaii economists say Lahaina locals could be priced out of rebuilt town without zoning changes
  • How's this dumb? They're correct. The US is illegally occupying Hawaii and persecutes the indigenous to that end.

    I get the feeling you just like licking imperialists' boots.

    Ukraine tells critics of slow counteroffensive to 'shut up'
  • Then why do you think they're gathering intel? Surely the situation is very different in Ukraine. A weapon system is context dependent, it doesn't exist in a vacuum.
