Feel free to chime in with the resolution.

Just put your cursor within the quotes and hit enter twice, my dude I'm not saying that Palestine is necessarily the ones to offer a solution, but they should come to the table and engage in discussion. I am also certainly not saying they should "accept their current situation", they should have many things given to them in a negotiation. Also, while they aren't in a position to make demands, there would certainly be extreme international pressure on Israel should serious talks begin. Israel has given conquered/taken land back in the past (not Netanyahu, who, I must reiterate, is a turd). I'm talking having discussions, not just blindly accepting whatever is thrown at them, and was mostly talking about the original resolution (which we both agree was not good). The main issue Palestinians had with it, IIRC, was that Israelis had slightly more land given than them - that was something, IMO, that could've been discussed and a solution could've been found... instead of war. (EDIT: Or was it that the Palestinians wanted it all and didn't want the Jews to have any of the land? I can't remember) Bruh: Sermon delivered by 'Atallah Abu Al-Subh, former Hamas minister of culture, which aired on Al-Aqsa TV, April 8, 2011: "Whoever is killed by a Jew receives the reward of two martyrs, because the very thing that the Jews did to the prophets was done to him. "The Jews are the most despicable and contemptible nation to crawl upon the face of the Earth, because they have displayed hostility to Allah. "Allah will kill the Jews in the hell of the world to come, just like they killed the believers in the hell of this world. "The Jews kill anyone who believes in Allah. They do not want to see any peace whatsoever on Earth." I strongly disagree with this and it goes back to the "it doesn't matter now with fixing things in 2023" comment I made. Stating that Israel doesn't have a right to exist, after it's existed for nearing 80 years, is just a bad take, IMO. In 1950 the argument held more water, but it's been a nation for too long for the argument to make sense now in any way that actual matters or helps anyone. Yes, it is unreasonable when you're not even making attempts at peace and your "anger" turns into killing civilians. I cannot nor will ever empathize with that. To reiterate, I'm in no way stating that Palestinians come up with a peace deal and offer it, I'm saying they should be at the table and willing to talk, not to blindly accept a terrible deal. I already called him a turd multiple times and have said that this wasn't okay, though? You know that not all of the land given to the Jews for Israel in that solution was where Palestinians already were, and that not all of the land given to Palestinians was were Jews weren't, right? Both were giving up land that both were already on. Except for the Jews that already lived there...? I never said nor implied any of this. Also, how can a peace deal happen if both sides don't agree to one? Israel can't sign a peace deal that's not accepted by or discussed with Palestine. An unauthorized invasion of people who were coexisting for 70 years prior to a name change. Killing and kidnapping civilians is "fighting better"? Hamas has ~60% support from Gazans. At best, they support ones who do want death to all Jews. The average Palestinian doesn't if we're counting the West Bank, though, but as I previously mentioned, that's not a 1:1 comparison. Israel doesn't purposely target civilians, they just don't care about civilians in the collateral. Both are bad, one is worse. Fatah was on the ballot and won in the West Bank. There's only two viable political parties here, there were multiple to choose from (who all won seats) in that election in Gaza. The history comment wasn't necessarily directed at/towards you, it was more venting at the shit I've been seeing people say elsewhere. The Palestinians I mentioned living within the Israeli boarders have equal rights with Jews/Christians/other Arabs and are full Israeli citizens. The ones that are (well below) second-class citizens are the ones living in the West Bank and Gaza. And, the thing is... from my perspective, land is land - it was a name change more than anything. Neither group had full independence when it was under the British Mandate or even under the Ottomans, did they? Look, if you've been following my posts ITT then you should know I do not think Israel is innocent in any way/shape/form, however, I reject the idea that Palestine is somehow some poor innocent victims that did nothing wrong. Both sides are culpable in all of this.

When did the Palestinians offer a peaceful resolution? The PLO (not even Palestine as a whole) has only recognized Israel has a right to exist for less than a decade. Freedom/no more ownership of land/Independence. I did say "real" peace offers in my post. Sure, there are ones that "fought back", but not ones that literally don't think the other has a right to exist. Tibet's stance has never been that all Chinese must die and China does not have a right to exist, The Native American stance was never "all Europeans/Americans must die and you don't have a right to exist". I am not doing that at all, I fully understand they are, at best, beaten down (understatement). However, I'd argue that you are insinuating that the Palestinians are incapable of offering any type of peace deal or attempting to work with Israel to find a tenable two state solution, which is kinda odd. Jewish settlements were already there for 70 something years before the U.N/British proposal. It's disingenuous, at best, to ignore that. Which brings me back to "the Palestinian response was not to find a solution that did work but to try to kill and drive out all Jews in the region three days later." Why should either group give up their homes and land for some two state solution? The lack of sympathy to how the Palestinians tried to literally kill every Jew three days later is crazy. The Palestinians had no right to just take the land by force because they didn't like a proposed resolution. It really, REALLY, works both ways. I literally called Netanyahu a turd (though mentioned it's an insult to turds) and said how the bullying that has happened since has set back any possible peace by decades, but okay? They wanted to do this before they were oppressed, though, as well as every surrounding nation. Tibet is shooting missiles into China on a daily basis? Kidnapping and beheading Chinese citizens? Killing 100+ teens at a music festival? I think you greatly misinterpreted what I was saying if you think that was in some way "crediting" Israel. The point is that they want all Jews dead, as do the not subjugated neighboring nations. Please don't bring god awful movie debates that aren't worth debating into this. .. so you're cool with terrorism as long as it's against "a very powerful nation" that they're "fighting back against"? I'm really blown away with this statement, but I seriously have no other way to interpret it. The way Palestinians have been "fighting back" has been to target civilians. You're saying "good on them!" to that? There are more than two political parties in Palestine. This reads as an excuse for actions and an attempt to remove culpability. Again, there were more than two parties to vote for, 44% (a large majority lead) went to Hamas, the most extreme one to vote for at the time. It doesn't matter today when trying to find a solution. It's just a lot of pointless noise. What do you want Israel to do? Get up and leave? It absolutely does not matter and is just holding on to complete BS that ends in more war and death. I didn't say that history doesn't matter, I said that history doesn't matter to find a solution today. HUGE difference. It's even more unfair to not expect Palestinian leaders to come to the table and attempt realistic solutions. BTW, there are Israeli citizens that are Palestinian, living in Israel, voting rights, and all that: there's over 3000 who are currently serving in the IDF, all volunteers. As I mentioned previously, the issue Israel has isn't with Palestinians, or Muslims, it's with people who think they shouldn't exist.

Fun.

A maximum of 3 people here will get this reference, and I’m okay with that number.

Sorry (not really, but) one more thing: the obsession over who was wherever first is such a shit argument on both sides. No matter which side you’re on with that nonsense you’re drawing arbitrary dates and/or timelines to give one side or the other the “right” to the area: 500 years back? Too far! 300 years back? Not far enough! Been back for over 130 years? Not long enough! Not in the area for 70 years? Too soon! Just absolutely fuck off with that, it serves absolutely zero purpose in fixing things in 20-fucking-23. Peace can only be achieved by forgiveness and education on both sides, and moving the fuck on and dealing with today instead of obsessing over the past constantly with who started what and who did what to who.

Something I want to add is that talking about Palestinians as a whole when discussing the current Gazan situation, to me, is either bad faith or a lack of understanding of the areas. The West Bank =/= Gaza. It would be like discussing Alabama but including the sentiment of California (yes, I’m purposefully being hyperbolic).

I feel like they just raised price a couple months back

I’m prefacing this by saying that I’ve been going back and forth on responding to you on this, as you’re one of my favorite people here and I do not want to “fight” or cause bad feelings. I’ve also been seeing a lot of absolute nonsense and BS on my favorite sub-reddits and elsewhere that has been deeply bothering me (some people, liberals, outright cheering Hamas, which I know you are not doing). Probably because the Palestinians response throughout this entire debacle, in all but a small handful of times, has been “fuck you, Jew, die” rather than any attempt to peaceful resolution. Your other examples really aren’t apples to apples. All of those other groups simply wanted to exist and were pushed around, killed, subjugated, and oppressed without any real peace offers. The Palestinians were offered co-existence multiple times throughout all of this and the response has always been “peace comes when every Jew in the middle east is dead”. Hell of a side to root for. You can make arguments that prior attempts at peace and two-state resolutions were untenable, even the original one proposed by the British and U.N., but, again you should take into account the fact that the Jews in the area were willing to co-exist, while the Palestinian response was not to find a solution that did work but to try to kill and drive out all Jews in the region three days later. They lost, and they lost land. More battles, more lost land. At this point Netanyahu (and, calling him a gigantic turd is disrespectful to turds, IMO) does just bully them out of land now, and has set back any possible peace by (likely) decades. The thing with Israel that truly gets people’s ire is their response to any/all attacks or even potential threats; “10x what you do to us”, “never again”. Those mottos lead to shows of force and high scale destruction with a ton of absolutely horrendous fallout that is absolutely appalling, and it’s certainly a reason why some take the other side. However, if Palestine had the military capability of Israel, how much of Israel do you think they would destroy? Would they warn non-combatants to get out first? And, with those last questions, let’s remove Hamas from the equation in terms of them being the ones leading the charge, let’s just talk about Gazans. Nearly 60% of Gazans support Hamas and their actions as of July 2023 according to polling, 75% support the PIL and Lions Den which are even worse than Hamas. This is not the polling you’d want to see from a group that wants peace.

True, but as a Patreon subscriber you’re also required to keep a spiked buttplug in your anus, so, pending your kinks, it may not be worth the $20 discount!

Yes.

Yes, PureDark is charging $120 for it and you have to install a microchip in your brain that makes your dick explode if you even think about pirating.

Around 10% of the IDF are Arab Israelis and that’s with conscription being voluntary for non-Jews in Israel. There are also multiple Arabs who hold seats on the Israeli Parliament. It’s almost like the issues are solely with people who don’t think they have a right to exist and not Arabs or Muslims in general.

I’m just here to mention that over 20% of Israeli citizens are Arab Muslims and around 10% of the active IDF are Arab Muslims (that’s 10% of the entire military, not 10% of Arab citizens)… and Arab Israelis aren’t required to serve in the IDF like the rest of the population, that number is all volunteers. Take from this info whatever you will.

Well that's good that they're trying to implement them, but regardless they won't be a magic fix for this when a 4090 can't even get 30fps at 1440p, and that fps is too low for FSR3 or DLSS3 to help via frame generation.

Apparently it cannot use DLSS or FSR2 due to some rendering techniques they're using or something. It only has FSR1 for that reason.
