I think there’s plenty of room for peace though. I think the Muslim block is terrible and Israel is right not to bend to their will, but fire + fire doesn’t = peace. The Israelis could do a lot to improve their global position, such as getting rid of that criminal Netanyahu. The police/army could also try diplomacy with the Palestinians (not Hamas, the Palestinians). The problem is that neither side wants to make concessions, and concessions have to be made for peace to exist.  

Yes there is plenty of room for peace, there are some problems with in the country but there is always attempts to solve them the situation with the Palestinian is complicated as there are tons of differences between the west bank areas and the Gaza strip. about the world position problem it has a lot about one sided and even false media coverage and interest groups . promise you that visiting here will surly make you see that most of bad thing written is wrong and that the BDS movement by their action cause thousands of Palestinians to lose their jobs so yeah come and see for yourself (after the COVID 19 ofc..) meanwhile corey gil shuster have some videos that shows the real nature of our tiny area:yes

Again I disagree here, it was very much needed to establish a goverment no one wants 4th elections therefe Gantz made the mature descion and has basically secure his position starting in 2021 Netanyahu will go to court and the descion about him will get from the judges it was very much needed to get a working goverment the only F' up thing here is the timing, since it's the Holocaust memorial evenig tomorrow will be the day itself which i got to be honest it's a Hard and emotional day here and it's got to get the respect it deserves

Yep. This is probably the best explanation of why most people in my generation either swing hard left, hard right, or have a total lack of belief in any form of public services/offices/etc.

For many of them, the coronavirus pandemic is the latest in what has felt like an endless list of American crises.

 

Yeah there they go, thinking the world revolves around them and them only (as far as there is a 'they' when it's about these age-based samples they call 'generations').

Yeah, at this rate, Gen Z appears even more self-centered than the millenials. Who knew that could be possible. :p

 

And what's with this Z? What comes next? What are media and generation-thinking people going to call the people born a year later? Gen AA, followed by AB and those born this year are roughly called Gen AP or something? :p

    • yeah, however, Zorzi is a good name for Italian sportsmen   we had the top scorer of the '90s Volleyball NT (he is from Noale, Venice...the same place of the Motorbike factory Aprilia) and we have more to come, as there are 3 brothers playing Kitesurf, 2 of them being youth European and World medallists in the last years   and there's also a TV presenter with that Family name, but that's another story

    • Ok, that's interesting. So often winter sports are village sports & so everyone with these rare patois names are family.
    • AFAIK, no they're from 2 different regions (Christian is from Trentino, Edoardo from Lombardy, Bergamo province) Zorzi is not an uncommon Family name in North-East of Italy
    • I will definitely vote on Sunday evening as well. This time for real.  Need to fill my final ranking, as i have a couple of clashes, but will be traveling on the weekend, so will finalize things when i get home.
    • I guess, it´s normal. If you look at it from the international federation view Relay quotas goes usually to powerhouses of the sport, countries where the sport is popular, followed by TV viewers etc... means money back, while a bunch of single quotas given for countries which will not even notice the athlete and almost majority of inhabitants do not even know there such sport at the Olympics may be a waste at the end   Not saying I am in favor of it obviously. But I can understand the point, me personally, I will be surprised if I will have time to catch a minute of live watching Shorttrack in Milano for example, quite sure our TV will not make it in its main channel live screen. I guarantee you that already 
    • Biden had no idea, and neither does Trump. Each for different reasons: Biden feared World War III, while Trump wants to do business with Russia. It would take someone like Reagan to put more pressure on Russia, and that would also be a strategy for years, not 1-2.
    • Maybe they should but they clearly don't based on how the document is written, D.2.2 makes it clear that the fifth relay quota (for teams w/ 8 or more starting position) has pririty over individual quotas.   The fact that there is a gender imbalance in how the quotas are allocated is weird, but it does sort of make sense because of how D2.3 is written. Quotas are handed out in rotation, and it just so happens that if you go through the process the three missing quotas are all in the women's 1500m. It's a badly written document (like every single ISU Olympic qualification document always is >.> ) but I don't think there is another interpretation of it that could be valid. You award quotas in this order, going from 1st to 32nd (or 36th) in the ranking until you hid 112: Men's 500m Women's 500m Women's 1000m Men's 1000m Men's 1500m Women's 1500m They would not have included both genders on the same rotation if the intent wasn't to allow an inbalance in gender quotas after completing D2.3.
