why are those people called refugees 3 generations later and their proper neighbourhood a refugee camp? that's also an issue... the fact that they're use just in a political game by either Arab countries or their own leadership.

that's a big size actually. and let's not pretend they're doing due to lack of space. you don't put your HQ under the biggest hospital due to lack of space. you don't stash your rockets under a school due to lack of space. they know exactly what they're doing and civilian casualities is just another weapon in this conflict. for one side at least.

and what is your solution? stand back and wait for it to happen again?

is not like that water stays within the animal. most of it is back into the natural circuit very quick.

most women have options. the number is more about self control.

most Garmin watches give you at least 1 week of battery life with 7-8h of GPS activity during that week. if you do less than 8h, you can get 1.5 weeks of battery life.

I think that depends on the city. In very international cities like London or Brussels you usually start the conversation with "so what brought you hear?" knowing that most of the time is the job. So you try to understand what someone is doing. I find that a very common opener with someone you're just meating.

Banhovsviertel but not only. You really want to say the city doesn't have a massive homelessness issue?

I live in Brussels. I walk/run throughout the city every day. There's tents next to the rail station, there's tents next to large supermarkets, next to parks... everywhere. 3 years ago that was not the case. Metro stations are also overwhelmed with people passed out on heroin or whatever drugs they use. The difference is more than noticeable.

I visited Frankfurt just 1 month ago and was shocked to see the situation being even worse.

I believe a lot of it is a post-effect of covid where some people fell through the craks and now are just lost to drugs or other addictions.

Visit Brussels, Frankfurt, Paris, Cologne, Rome...

Managed to avoid recession yet the cities are full of tents and other homeless encapments... things we were seeing only in US in the past are in every major EU capital now. The homelessness is out of control.

Ethnicity is irrelevant actually. Don't be associated with trouble makers.

Most Arab Israelis get a 2/6 on security profiling... meaning they pass through w/o even extensive bag check. Same as people with family in Israel.

In Israel you could go with full bottles of liquids for years. BTW, the opening of the suitcase is just in case of higher security concern (after the screening). If you check your passport you got a 5 on that sticker. Israeli citizens, people with friends or family there, couples at first visit don't get their bags open.

in almost any election in every European country the voter presence is 50% or below. I think that's what the comment was about... is just a small % of people that participate in voting and even smaller percentage that votes for the winner.

that's what most people in Europe refuse to see. is common for even left-wing Europeans to hate on certain ethnicities, on other nationalities, to be very nationalistic in general.

That's because we (in Europe) didn't know anything else and people are reluctant to change seeing the negative PR coming out of US. I'm pretty sure majority of people in Europe hate how our massive taxation is for the most part wasted.

Europe is not that left leaning. While it has common agreement on certain topics that in the US are still a big left-right debate on other Europe is way more radical than US. For example hating a certain minority (eg. gypsies) is pretty much mainstream in Europe and has little blowback. There's far right parties with quite a strong base in pretty much every European country.

All the prosperity in the non-liberal World is just a gift from the Western Liberal world. There would be not much prosperity in India or China w/o Western companies outsourcing operations over there. Once a middle class is built things start rolling by themselves but til then let's not kid ourselves that the prosperity in these iliberal countries was home-built.
