The terms of service doesn't matter in the context of anti-competitive practices; if scraping becomes a key requirement for the development of certain services, Google can undercut all of its competitors by using its own system.

This may seem 'fair game' to you, but it's not, it's anti-competitive, and for the same reason the Supreme Court ruled against Microsoft with regards to the competitive advantage it had with Internet Explorer before Firefox and Chrome came around.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft_Corp.

And that wasn't about forbidding--that was about merely inconveniencing.

Edit: It says it was 'partially overturned', that doesn't refer to the ruling that Microsoft was doing something illegal, it was referring to the order to break up Microsoft into two companies. That part only was overruled.

The landmark ruling resulted in the ability to develop browsers like Firefox and Chrome through Microsoft being forced to open and document its APIs, which crushed Internet Explorer.

It's a capital crime to sell land to a Jew in Palestine. Unlike Israel, Palestine is apartheid, so you have no worry on that account. Bulldozing and permits do absolutely nothing for settlement expansion, especially considering only, what, 30k or something Palestinians live in Area C, which is where Israel was given by the PA civil responsibility to handle things like permits.

what is this nonsensical strawman, he said for Israeli settlements. 3 people in a row intentionally misconstruing his statement, is this a raid?

and he's right. find one (1) palestinian home that was bulldozed to make way for an israeli settlement.

because it doesn't exist; forget Israel's justifications, you think settlements and arab cities? that destroying palestinian homes will somehow 'make room' for the settlers? lol. No Jew is building homes in Nablus, you can be sure of that. Palestine has already ethnically cleansed all of its Jews well before Israel took the WB in '67, and no one wants them for a neighbour again.

No, you can't. You perhaps can get things scammers call Torah scrolls, but you can't buy a Torah scroll from Amazon. It costs tens of thousands of dollars and is purpose made for synagogues. Perhaps some rich connected Jewish dude can order one, but the anti semite can't get one unless he stole it, and you can't order it online

I'm curious to know what the solutions proposed are? Which issue are you talking about? The only one I can imagine having a proposed left-wing solution is the U.S-Mexican illegal immigrants one, but what solution is exactly proposed? I am only familiar with 'head-in-the-sand' solutions and hail-mary solutions that do not stand the test of ever working in history.

The book fair has Holocaust denial, Mein Kampf, and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion in it. I'm surprised it was removed at all.

The left has no solution to the aforementioned 3 problems. The right-wing don't have solutions either. Both sides just have feel-good solutions for their demographic--for the left, since they're targeting a more educated crowd, it's less of a 'feel-good' and more of a 'feel-superior' as it employs policies that make the demographic feel good to 'know' that your side is good and the other side is evil.

Both sides not only politically benefit from the problem, but also a real solution--addressing the core of the problem--would be quite unpopular for both left and right.

Who in Britain wants to invest in infrastructure and economy of Poland? Neither left nor right. Who wants to dismantle the corrupt PA and take responsibility of Jenin, Ramallah, and so on? Neither left nor right. Who wants to get involved with Mexico's cartels? Neither left nor right.

So no answer on voting or about whether the West Bank is a part of Palestine or Israel. Worse, you're just here to preach your ignorance. This is me out of here.

When will Mexico get a vote in US elections in your timetable? Or, if you prefer the occupation angle, how come Iraq and Afghanistan got no vote? Or do you believe the State of Palestine doesn't exist and all of the West Bank is Israel?

Lower income, lower education, inevitably leads to simple-minded thinking that veers to the right. Right-wing strongmen say things that 'make sense', that 'we've all been thinking', and whatever, and that attracts the layman that thought about those things but lack the mental acumen to think about how the proposed 'solutions' will play out.

Too many non-English speaking people in Britain? Leave the EU, I'm sure that'll curtail immigration. Terror attacks against civilians? Send more forces into Jenin, terrorism will decrease next year for sure, this year was a bust, but yeah, for sure next year. Brown people stealing er jerbs? Build a wall, wow, I'm a fucking genius, nobody else ever considered that, problem solved!

The sad thing is that the left-wing are clueless on how to actually approach the problem, too. Oh yes, let's simply ignore or otherwise create some excuse for why non-assimilating/non-integrating foreigners are perfectly okay and will have no long-term repercussions like every century of history has taught us. Oh yes, of course raiding Jenin wouldn't help, so let's just leave the West Bank, I'm sure unlike Gaza this time it will work out, I'm sure even though there was terrorism before '67, before even '48, for some reason terrorism will stop if we just end the occupation. Of course the flow of illegal immigrants is perfectly fine and has no socioeconomic consequences, you're just racist.

Both sides are utterly clueless. It's not a universal truth, but most things, including all aforementioned issues, come down to socio-economic problems.

Foreigners will have no reason to come to your country if they have no reason to leave theirs. Palestinians wouldn't dare join jihadist organizations if they actually had something they cared enough about to fear losing. Illegal immigrants would have no reason to go to the United States if Mexico's situation was peaceful and stable, wrt the drug war and cartels.

The solution to the first isn't leaving the EU: the solution is the EU. The solution to the second isn't increasing forces or leaving them, it's proper state-building and control of education, religious, and financial institutions a la post-WW2 era occupations that created the modern states of Germany and Japan. The solution to the third is solving the Mexican cartel problem, not building a decorative wall.

When did I say Palestinians aren't victims too? Can you reply with something other than strawman?

I'm left-wing; being against racism and religious bigotry isn't exactly a hallmark of right-wingers.

Regardless, you speak of reality, yet pointedly choose to ignore the fact that it is explicitly, lawfully, illegal to sell land to Jews, there is a religious fatwa in Palestine against selling land to Jews, and the punishment is death.

Your only possible response to this absurd reality is to rant about right-wingers and how they ignore reality?

The settlements do nothing to prevent a two-state solution. They only do so in the sense that Palestine is an apartheid, ethnonationalist proto-state that wants a judenrein Palestine.

Ostensibly they can get those territories, with those settlements, and have a 20% Jewish population, like how Israel has a 20% Arab population and is just fine.

But that is acceptable to jihadists and their sympathizers: not one Jew is allowed to remain in Palestine, despite millennia of presence.

Correct. It is illegal to be a Jew in Palestine; selling land to Jews is a capital crime. This is a fight against Palestinian apartheid and their desire to wipe out all Jews.

I understand your comprehension of political ideologies is single-dimensional and tunneled, but please at least try to educate yourself.

You may start your reading here on socially left ideologies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_liberalism

And here's socially right ideologies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_conservatism

As far as politically left or right, that means in reference to the state's notion of left/right politics. In Israel, politically, alternative left is reserved for jihadists and other anti-Zionists, the left is reserved for the Zionist peace-optimistic camp, the right is reserved for the Zionist peace-pessimistic camp, and the alternative right is reserved for the pro-settlements camp.

As you may guess--or not, considering your comment leaves little hopes in that respect--this spectrum of left to right in no way corresponds to the ideologies professed by social liberalism or conservatism. A different order is required in order to redistribute those camps across a social liberalism/conservatism spectrum. And, indeed, split them up into new camps completely, as there are communists in the same camp as the jihadists, which are very much incompatible ideologies.

Many 'left-wing' politicians are socially conservatist and many 'right-wing' politicians are socially liberal.

> while slowly ethnically cleansing Palestinians

Building homes built on land purchased legally (though through shell companies that pretend to be Arabs, because it's illegal to sell land to Jews in Palestine) is just harder to make it sound villainous than shouting about "ethnic cleansing" over and over using the firehose of falsehood

Netanyahu is not a right-wing extremist. Israel is a parliamentary democracy, so parties must create coalitions that encapsulate as many parties as needed to take a majority of parliament.

Netanyahu is being boycotted by his traditional partners, the center & center-right.His partners are the religious parties (which aren't politically right or left, they are socially right) and the far right parties (which are politically hard right and socially not necessarily left or right--usually left).

So the problem is Netanyahu is selling out the country by creating a government consisting entirely of political fringes of society (except the Arab parties) + Likud, which is a center-right party. As far as politics go, it is equivalent to the Democrats in policy. Parties to the left of him are simply much more left than the Democrats.

How? I'm talking to you just fine here. It's only that particular comment of yours that is shadow-banned/hidden. I can reply to it (blocks stop you from making the comment at all, doesn't make it hidden.)

huh? where? I don't seem to see anything that seems to be missing

edit: oh wow, it was, opened with a private browser. I still see it. Since no mod contacted me and I definitely didn't break any rules, guess I'll repost it.

Edit2: I think it's just impossible to reply to him? Anything I post doesn't appear when I look at it at a private window

/u/PublicFurryAccount are you alive?

Saddam Hussein? Ayatollah Khamenei? Vladimir Putin? Xin Jinping? Boris Johnson (as far as Brits perspective goes, destroying British influence and economy and possibly the union)? Donald Trump? King Saud? Gaddafi? 90% of African leaders? Anyone on either side in Myanmar?

Absolutely ridiculous

> it's is against rabbinical law.

I don't know where you heard it, but this is wrong. The Temple Mount is a large complex and the school of thought that the Holy of Holies could've been anywhere on it is fringe. There are countless places to worship that are considered safe.

More people think the Dome of the Rock is where the Holy of Holies stood (and that's controversial) than people who think it could've been anywhere. Israeli governments in the past have amplified these voices in order to convince mostly secular Jews who didn't know better to not go to the Temple Mount as tourists. Those who actually might be interested in praying understand the situation.

you need to quit with the moonshine, or otherwise leave /r/worldnews for /r/conspiracy

I can find Americans that want to militarily conquer and annex the whole of Europe, that doesn't mean America or Americans want to conquer Europe.

left-coded? I have never heard this term, what do you mean by that?

It won't ever push it to war. If Jordan scraps the peace treaty, Israel will seize the Temple Mount from the Jordanian Waqf, and give it to the House of Saud in exchange for peace.

Hussein would need to be out of his mind to give Israel such a sweet casus belli to change the caretaker of Al-Aqsa and secure peace with Saudi Arabia, which is much more useful than peace with Jordan. Jordan is on the receiving end in every way, including their water crisis which is entirely saved by Israel.

Ah yes, building settlements is now genocide.

Palestine is one of the world's fastest growing populations, you may call settlement building 'genocide', but it's almost as effective a form of genocide as charities. Settlement industries are overwhelmingly filled with Palestinians. About a third of all Palestinians work in Israeli settlements or industries.

So, sure, somehow building settlements and stimulating the Palestinian economy (though that isn't their goal, obviously) is genocide. I'm sure another 30 years of settlement building and unsustainable Palestinian population growth will fulfill the Zionist agenda... which is...?

wtf is this propaganda?
