  • It’s hard to take your questions like this in unconditional good faith when you also post like this:

    So would be kind enough to indulge me as to asking why you asked this question and what you were expecting from it? And what you’ll do with the resulting knowledge?

    I should say though, I do like and appreciate that you’ve taken to asking questions and creating a space where people discuss, or at least fire off comments into the void.

    I’m also posting down in the reply chain so it’s not as obvious a post. You’ll get the notification, but others will have to read and look a bit more.






  • So you’re arguing what exactly?

    That since they both came in an oppressed the local Arabs of the 1830s (who are in no way ever included in the definition of Palestian?) and took their land that but migration continued so the Israeli pushing of Palestinians off of the land is just a continuation of what both sides did to the definitely never Palestinian Arabs who were there earlier and so it isn’t wrong?

    I’d hope its to convince the government of Israel to get rid of corrupt leader Netanyahu, and to work towards an equitable two state peace agreement with an independent Palestine in the West Bank and Gaza.

    Or failing that, to convince people that unconditional support of the current Israeli government is bad, actually. Something many Israeli themselves believe (not to mention non-Israeli Jews).



  • I live in a town of 220,000 in the UK.

    I’m a 5 minute walk from a small supermarket.

    10 mins from a corner shop.

    5 minute drive from a huge supermarket.

    10 minute walk from a doctors’ surgery.

    20 minute walk from a dentist’s.

    20 minute walk from an opticians.

    5 minute walk from a park.

    15 minutes walk from primary and 10 minutes walk from a secondary school.

    But we don’t really do suburbs in quite the same way, and they’re much more walkable than the pictures I’ve seen of US suburbia.


  • In the UK we have smaller “urban supermarkets” that sell everything you might need at home but there’s not much choice in it, and there’s a lot of ready to eat meal options. Kinda like a corner shop plus.

    And then there are the fuck off huge supermarkets that are like THE Wallmart on the interstate on, usually, the edges of urban areas which have foreign food isles, clothes, toys, and more types of toothpaste than you could use in a lifetime of brushing three times a day.
