What dictatorship? I don't follow. Also the offers were extremely fair. The last one Olmert made was so good I doubt they will ever get anything even close to it.

Very stupid of their leaders, but you can always count on the Palestinian leaders to fuck up their people ever since the 30s.

> But yeah part of the issue is that there is no offer that "makes sense" to both sides. It doesn't make sense to Israel to vacate settlements they annexed decades ago, and it doesn't make sense for Palestine to become the only country since WW2 that accepts the legitimacy of losing territory by military conquest.

Israel has already agreed to dismantling settlements historically, as it actually did in the Gaza strip (And only got tens of thousands of rockets in return) and as it offered to do in many of the suggestions to the Palestinians. Again, your comment is factually not true.

Regarding the Palestinians losing territory: Hey buddy, you declare a genocidal total war attempting to (Actual quote) "Annihilate" the other side? Better be prepared for a total lose as well.

The Palestinians are extremely lucky that Israel is not even 1% as cruel as their leaders, or there would be exactly 0 Palestinians in the WB and Gaza ever since 67.

Israel has already made any concession that makes sense, including 5 different offers of sovereignty to the Palestinians. All refused in favor of violence.

The fact that redditors have an extremely short memory and are ignorant on the issue, does not mean Israelis forget this senseless and endless violence.

I agree settlements are bad. But the PA denies its own citizens from starting businesses keeping them poor and then pushes them into being terrorists as their only option to escape poverty.

Since the 90s, the West has been trying to help build up Palestine economically. This then gets stripped and sold for scrap to pay for the lavish lifestyles of the leaders and to pay terrorists.

Israel could disappear tomorrow and Palestine would just be a failed state because of the PA's kleptocratic "governance".

Beware of unintended consequences. My guess is that the local recycle industry which employs thousands of local people will be replaced by low cost imports from Bangladesh and Vietnam. If high import duties are enacted to support local clothing manufacturers then costs go up to the locals and benefits go up to smugglers and corrupt border officials.

yes but it s uncertain for how long it will stay this way. most country since the pandemic realize they couldn't built those and start investing into fab. us just give 50 billion for Intel and others while tsmc announce the gonna build fabs in the us. at the same time china Russia and the ue start massive effort to lift this dependence. in 10 year even if taiwan is a main hub it will be easier to do without. specially since we are at the end of Moore law and that we can t go tinier with the actual silicon it will let ample time for other to compete but that s not going to happen quickly but it s something to be aware

If they outsource the hacks or send their hackers elsewhere in the world then cutting the cable isn't going to work. That doesn't even get into how easy it would be to reroute the traffic to another location that isn't "cut off", they could just reroute through China if they wanted to. China being their ally they could just use the cables that run there. To stop the hacking it would require people to actually follow the best practices for IT security and let's be honest here, the vast majority of people don't and it only takes one mistake to leave your network open.
