Thats a very interesting case example. I will have to learn more about Turkey, altho it seems like the Democratic part is doing a lot of heavy lifting relative to what I’ve heard about Turkey being like Hungary in terms of democratic realities. It is impressive that they don’t have the usual antihomosexuality laws and hangups other Muslim nations have.
Then again, they probably couldn’t be part of EU with something like that on the books, no?
Best answer
The other point I want to throw out there is that Omega 3 is essential, it cannot be endogenously provisioned, and I’m not sold that ALA sufficiently stands in for EPA and DHA
I’ve watched videos with Palestinians lamenting the good old days when they had a job that was either in Israel or with an Israelli firm that paid much better and it makes me really question whether this is about religion or past stuff at all. I wonder if all Palestinians who are offered a better life thru gainful employment and modern peaceful lifestyle with the modern amentities wouldn’t warm to the idea of a pluralistic and perhaps closer to 1-state solution altho I also understand where the Israelis are coming from in terms of not wanting the muslim baggage and ongoing concerns that creates.
Religions that create such a conviction that there’s another better life you can arbitrarily access if you do violence in your god’s name are inherently antithetical to modern life and cohesion so I get that they would be reluctant if it came to that. There would very likely be a non-zero number of civillian deaths and incidents that would immediately be blamed on any unification
I figure that’s the only thing stopping her from tearing me to shreds when I clean her eye boogers
A two-state solution? Palestine is objectively less-developed and economically-developed than Israel, I don’t think its realistic there’s going to be a “river to the sea free of israel” type situation. Not sure whether thats what is actually being advocated for but it also seems like a point that keeps coming up over and again as I read about this.
If Israel had a far more moderate government where the leader wasn’t criminally compromised, do you think it would be possible to come up with some good enough good-faith joint effort to relieve some of the tension points and allow for change?
I swear to god, my oldest (“my old lady”) literally pesters me at “bedtime”. A cat dictates my bedtime lol
Can you give a recent example?
I’ve read that population-wise, Palestine is over 50% young people/children. Do you think that might be key to a generational refresh that allows for compromise in producing a solution at some point if all the pieces can line up?
I think its fair to ask an objective “what would a free Palestine look like”
I’m interested in what life would be like for folks there.
Young people seem so different when they don’t have a physical or emotional gun to their back, I actually entertain the idea that young Palestinians (with aid and world collaboration) could work towards—I dunno, like Pakistan or something. I don’t know a lot about all the geopolitics but Pakistan is seperate from India, thats an achievement that seems similar
Thanks for this answer specifically ;) I have to remember it all makes me a better thinker (“i’m in my hapoy place”-style)
Edited post, what other different arab nation?
Is it a fact that ALA is interchangeable with EPA/DHA, basically everything I’ve read on the matter talked more about those two than ALA
I hate seafood and I won’t start eating it. What do?
If you don’t have heart disease, eating two servings of fatty fish weekly or following a vegetarian diet rich in healthy oils, nuts, and seeds is a far smarter strategy than buying fish oil supplements.
I don’t do either of those things. They are essential. What do?
Thanks, I appreciate the correction. Good to know for real
