Look up Hebron massacre 1929 for starters.

Where was Jerusalem Mufti Al-Husseini during WW2?

Farhud in Iraq ring a bell?

Valve will do with SteamOS what’s good for them and their profits. They aren’t in this for idealism.

It’s not a no brainer. If they want to run x68-64 games on it, they need good tools like Apple’s Rosetta. It would definitely decrease performance and lower the number of compatible games.

Valve is interested in controlling the software they use on their hardware and not being dependent on Microsoft or license costs. They are a for profit business. More games running on their machines help their sales.

RISC-V would be a terrible architecture for them at the moment. There are zero chips available with somewhat competitive performance. The number of commercial games that natively run on it is also small if not zero.

Combatants tend to violently fight back, when you try to round them up. They also tend to hide among civilians in case of terrorist militia like Hezbollah.

Send enough money to Ukraine to buy off all Russian soldiers.

Ukrainians are far ahead of you. There are several mine clearing tractors operating already.

That was not the US government, but private initiatives.

The funds, raised through pub collections and testimonial dinners by the Irish Northern Aid Committee (Noraid) of New York City

 

Reports emerged on 17 September 2024 that, from about 15:45 that day local time, a large number of pagers used by Hezbollah personnel in Lebanon exploded spontaneously and virtually simultaneously. At the time of writing, nine persons are reported to have died and 2,750 persons reportedly suffered injuries.

Two key questions now need to be considered. First, are these weapons, weapon systems or methods of warfare lawful? The weapon system in the present case will comprise the fake component including the explosive content, the detonator, the arming mechanism and the equipment that is used to generate and transmit the relevant signal. A method of warfare is a way of conducting hostilities. Second, do these attacks comply with targeting law? I consider these questions in turn.
