Also, in your analogy, these people are somehow magically just moving in as if space and housing is freely available
This is exactly how Jews immigrated to mandatory Palestine. They bought houses or land and moved in.
Also, why should the original neighbors have to negotiate with a group of people who moved in against their will
They have the choice to negotiate or not, but if they choose war and lose, then their lot is to reckon with the consequences of their actions. Vae victus, as the Gauls said to the Romans.
Besides all of that, if we just take the history out of it completely, and just look at the last 8 months: does Israel seem to you like a sane nation
Not entirely. It seems like a nation which has been radicalized by decades of failures at peace initiatives and the same decades of unrelenting violence directed at their civilians. But at least they didn’t start the war in Gaza.
Countries aren’t houses and your analogy is fatally flawed. I’ll write you a better one.
Let’s say I live in a neighborhood. New people move into this neighborhood, people who say their ancestors used to live here. Fine, whatever, the HOA let them in and I’m fine with it.
Enough of these people move into this neighborhood and have a different enough culture that they decide they want to form their own HOA.
What is my appropriate response to this situation? Should I negotiate which houses belong to the new HOA and which to the old? Or should I decide that the best thing to do is to violently kick all those people out of the neighborhood and shoot anyone who wants a new HOA?
Because the second thing is 1948. Arabs declared war, lost and lost badly, and have been trying to unwind the consequences of their belligerence ever since - usually with more belligerence.
The current situation mostly has to do with the consistent history of Arab aggression regarding any possible Jewish state.
If they don’t like the efforts of the US to give aid to a people who hate us, then I guess we could stop

Yes, when you combine a flammable substance and an oxidant, you can get an explosive. But hydrogen is flammable. It isn’t an explosive. Explosives have their own oxidants.
Hydrogen isn’t explosive, it’s flammable. Just like jet fuel.
LOTR would be better. But remember, they have separate teams for historical and fantasy TW. So yeah, maybe Medieval or Empire II will happen still. Probably too early for Rome III because II is still new enough to still be worth playing compared to the most recent games.
Bro your CPU is almost a decade old. I get that you’re annoyed but c’mon
I think it is the Lost problem. He’s got all these hints and foreshadowing going and no idea where they’re actually going. Disappointing and evidence of lazy writing, so I’ve stopped reading his works overall
10, actually, is what he said
What happens when grifters generate a billion AI knockoffs and an artist can’t protect their intellectual property
I don’t think he even knows how to finish it
some book series take longer than that to finish
Games should be public domain after 25 years, everything else at 50.
I’ve always seen the same tax rate on land value as improvement value. And yes, I do know how property taxes work. I pay them in three states, you arrogant child.
I’ve never seen a property tax scheme which isn’t partly based on the land value. So…
His lawyers have had lots of time to make that argument in court. I’m not in jail because I haven’t gotten into a shootout with the FBI. And I note that you’re still here, in our imperfect country, ignoring my entire point and trying to pretend that you don’t have free speech. Yet, still speaking.
