Can you elaborate on what genocide means here? I usually think that means to wipe out some race but in this case they aren't targeting based on race but on who wants to displace or kill them.

Isn't it the case that Palestine could have sovereignty if they made a deal with Israel to split up the territory? My understanding was that they refuse to make deal as they demand to have have all the land and to expel the Jews.

You mention that Israel is genocidal, maybe some of them are in secret, but mainly they are interested in taking control of the land and stopping their enemies.

You say that Israel displaced Arabs but I thought many of them just left because they oppose Israel not because the Israelis actually told them to leave? Many Arabs stayed in place and they were not kicked out if they were willing to live in peace is Israel.

Israel and many others send aid all the time to Palestine in the hopes of bringing peace but it's not been effective in making them seek peace.

Palestinians in general still think they should hold out for getting the whole region back, and more or less support Hamas because they have been taught to think this way.

I find it interesting that there are few complaints about how a huge part of Palestine was turned into "the kingdom of Jordan" by the British yet Palestinians did not have a violent rebellion against that decision and Palestine is not demanding that land back today.

There are already tax discounts on primary residence, there's a capital gains exemption. Doesn't matter because housing prices still go up too much. And why do they keep going up? Hmm... maybe something about a shortage of housing?

Speculators can't single handedly increase the price because they still need someone to buy or rent the property for a worthwhile price.

There are areas where housing prices stagnate and it's not like some speculators can just go in there and force prices to go up.

Sorry no, landlord still means anyone who rents homes, even a single one. Even a single room or a basement suite. Just ask any renter what they call the person who they pay for the space. They call them the landlord. You're stuck in a dark bubble.

Everyone is always profiting off the hard work of others, that's the whole point of civilization. Yes, many landlords are exploitative. But not all, and probably not even most, are.

I bought a new PC recently and put Linux on it. It didn't work with the on-board Bluetooth until I did some research and digging through the logs and compiled and installed a kernel driver and edited some config files as root.

Also the fps on my Nvidia graphics card is really bad in games.

So it does still have driver issues, I'd say.
