Yes, opposing the establishment of a new state with a new population where someone else already lived would have been appropriate in the late 1940s.
Unfortunately it’s 2024 now, Israel does exist and time is linear.
So the only thing that can be done now is to recognize neither Israel nor Palestine should be erased.
(Though pointing out that the latter doesn’t seem to get mentioned here would be appropriate.)
and the houses will not go on the market
I understand the other arguments but I’m confused about this one.
If houses that were used to house tourists are no longer allowed to do so, why would they not become available for either rent or sale?
What else is there for the owners to do with them?
Not to weigh in on one side or the other but the Nazis claimed a lot of things.
That they were socialists, that Poland had attacked Germany…
I wouldn’t rely on what they said.
Barcelona still has plenty of regular commercial Hotels that are purpose built to house many tourists.
somehow an even bigger clusterfuck
I agree that rejoining won’t magically solve all problems but I don’t see how it would make things worse.
austerity measure after austerity measure and somehow made our budgetal deficit worse
Not surprising.
Reducing government spending means reducing the money that is in economic circulation.
Companies earn less, people earn less and ultimately taxes go down.
Ah, I see.
So the water is not too warm for cooling, it’s too warm to absorb the backfeed, which is a necessary result of the cooling process.
Which effectively still means that they can’t properly cool the plant because the river water is too warm.
Besides providing verbatim records of who said what, there is a second can of worms in forming any sort of binding agreement if the two sides of the agreement are having two different conversations.
I think this is what the part about the missed nuance means.
This principle is called Richtlinienkompetenz (directive competence). He or she can basically order members of his cabinet what to do.
It should be noted, that this doesn’t allow the Chancellor to micromanage the Ministers.
The Chancellor can set the political agenda and make high level decisions but Ministers have some degree of constitutionally ensured independence in how exactly they implement policies.
Tbf, it sounds like neither side did a stellar job here.
Poland not reacting “for several hours” makes it sound almost deliberate.
Then again, I wonder how German police “informed” Poland for there to be no reaction. Did they fax?
If they think the situation requires an immediate reply, why not call them? Surely a dedicated border patrol unit would have a contact number.
Also, despite Schengen I don’t think police can just cross the border to another state unless in pursuit of some fleeing criminal.
And just dumping these people in some random location without any involvement of local authorities doesn’t seem like proper protocol.
It doesn’t “rely” on that.
France doesn’t rely on river water to cool power plants?
Where does the water come from then?
That’s half the explanation.
The economic and social decline makes people susceptible to populists.
But the other half is this:
They’re not the only populists.
To vote for outright, obvious Neo-Nazis you also have to ok with Neo-Nazis.
Inflation “going down” doesn’t mean there is no more inflation. It only means that there is less inflation than before
Keep in mind that “inflation going down” is usually shorthand for the year-on-year inflation rate going down.
If the yoy inflation rate goes down from one month to the next, then prices are still higher than previous year but may very well have fallen since last month.
That’s why the button says “purchase” instead of “buy”
First off, they’re synonyms
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/purchase#synonyms
Now, I’m certainly no expert on the US legal system. It certainly seems silly if you could circumvent entire laws just by using synonyms but what do I know.
However I have been talking about other countries where that is not the case and where the language is not English.
So It really doesn’t matter whether it say “buy” or “purchase” in English when it’s “kaufen” in German or “acheter” in French.
First Robot President
Is Nixon available ?
I think they’re talking about ovens in the kitchen, not heating with gas.
Yes, one can argue that more fossil energy could have been shut down if the nuclear plants had continued operating.
That said, Nuclear was replaced by renewables. Coal was also replaced by renewables.
Maybe more coal could have been replaced but claiming that nuclear was replaced with coal is a rhetoric trick but it is literally not true.
Also these assumptions about replacing coal always seem to come from people who have no idea about the power of the German coal lobby.
Coal is just about the only natural resource Germany has and is a massive industry.
The coal exit movement is decades old as well. But as the graphs show it is also glacially slow due to massive lobbying.
You original comment was that someone “turned on coal/oil…”
That statement is factually and demonstrably incorrect.
Gas was not even part of that original claim but whatever.
Building capacity as a reserve for peak times is not the same as the plants actually running and producing emissions.
As the graphs show, the actual production and therefore emissions from fossil sources have gone down. This is what matters in he climate change debate.
The mere existence of buildings has little to do with the topic at hand.
You mean “Installed net power generation capacity”?
Because that measures how much could theoretically be produced, not how much is actually produced.
For actual production, you might want to look at the two graphs below.
Particularly the 4th one shows that gas peaked in 2000 and has not gone up during the nuclear phase-out.
Unfortunately that’s exactly how it works.
Look at any country’s border and tell me which ones weren’t established by violence.
The actual question is, what alternative to accepting Israel’s existence would you propose. Because forcefully removing them would just be one more crime.
