Formerly @PortsmouthBTC on The Dead Bird. Used to do some stuff. Finally started doing stuff again. Possibly the only Bitcoiner to have *actually* lost everything in a boating accident. 🟠2013 🟣2023 #photography & #boatlife & #growstr #fishing amd #vibecoding fan and reforming church goer.

So what difference does it make who backed them? Keep in mind they also kicked Britain out then declared independence and were recognised as a country by the US and the USSR. Britain sought to restrict migration of Jewish people to the area. Yet you make out like they're absolutely responsible for what happened. Why didn't the Arab people living in that area take advantage of the league of nations offer to found a nation independent of the British and the Ottomans and the Mamelukes before them?

Under the British mandate, which occured because the Ottoman empire was smashed during ww1, both the Jewish people and the Arabs living in the region were supported to create a nation state.

NATO didn't kick the arses of the Arab armies in '49 or '68, that was the people of Israel.

Gaza was taken from the Egyptians, along with Sinai. Sinai was returned and the Egyptians turned down Gaza during the peace talks they held long after that second war. Why didn't the Egyptians want them back? Why do they still lock them out and destroy the tunnels Hamas build?

No, I have no skin in the fight. I just recognise that there will be no peace until there is a victory and a defeat. I'd rather they all just got it over and done with.

People like you that just want ongoing violence are the problem humanity must deal with.

You misunderstand me. Not surprising. The same thing would apply which ever side of the conflict I was on.

Which is why I understand there will never be peace there until there is a victory and a defeat, for one side or the other.

An ongoing conflict serves only those who sell the weapons.

Yeah, it's only for the key and I would love to find a way to make alby work on mobile since I want to use the wallet option but nos2x works well enough

I've not been able to "connect" my alby wallet to any nostr app through kiwi - nos2x works for the key but not the wallet

The original, home of the Royal Navy, loading point for the D-Day landings and where I keep my humble boat ⛵

That could be a good way to get back on the circuit

May be able to arrange something for Portsmouth then - looks like there's going to be quite the list

Challenging lol 😆 the temps have dropped and when I wake up in the morning it's typically about 9 or 10c now, so I need to be prepared and ready for the real cold times 🥶

That'd be brilliant - I know there's at least one or two nostriches geographically close enough to me, there's also the bitcoin people I've known for years who I do t believe are on here yet, it'll be a great opportunity to purple pill them

I just realised it's almost 2 years since I've been to a #bitcoin conference. Sad, but true. Had to miss a number of great events because of life.

2024 will be different. May even get back to organising meet ups.
