The Data Decoded

It's part of a mentality that seems to be prevalent in many non-Western societies (especially in the Middle East), whereby any semblance of self-criticism is viewed as a sign of weakness that deserves immediate exploitation and derision. Unfortunately, this very same attitude is why it becomes virtually impossible to fix anything. When you constantly delude yourself that you are winning and everything is fine, or you blame everything on the evil Americans and Jews you end up building nothing. Another example is the difficulty in tackling the worst parts of the Quran, the Hadith, etc. There is such a dearth of open and honest discussion at a societal level in most Islamic countries, as well as doctrinal reasons (Quran is the word of God), that do not allow for any criticism of the contents of the tradition, nor a critical examination. The only recourse is creating police states of varying rigidity. @DanBurmawy Would you agree with this general assessment?

In all the wars Israel has fought since its independence in 1948, its enemies broadcast that they were beating the Jewish state. Every time the war ended, it turned out that Israel had given its enemies a beating. Wait and see what will come out after this Iran war stops.

@soul_of_germany @crocoduck_king There is a problem with the Muslim community but you don't need to say all Muslims are this or that. That is a very low-IQ thing to do. If you don't want this to be turned on you one day, don't do it.

@crocoduck_king because Moslems are evil. every single one. how long will it take Mandami to blame White supremacy?

Why don't we see constant stories about Jews in America assaulting Muslim children? Why is it always the other way around?

A lot of Muslims nowadays and throughout history seem to have been unaware. Of course Prophet Muhammad's own history seem to contradict the aforementioned Surah. Either way, to say that something is forbidden by the Quran therefore it can't happen is as disingenuous as saying that murders don't take place because there are laws against them. Well, people do indeed commit murders and m, similarly many Muslims throughout history and still nowadays think apostates should be murdered and the infidels converted. To deny this is to live in la la land.

@hahussain That's forbidden It's literally in the Quran if you cared to read it. Surah Al-Baqarah 2:256: "There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion." Surah Al-Ghashiyah 88:21–22: "So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. You are not over them a controller.

Every non-Muslim and non-Arab community in the Middle East must have its own state, or it will vanish. This is Bethlehem, the city where Jesus was born. Its population was once 100 percent Christian and remained around 90 percent until 1950. Since the Palestinian Authority took control in 1993, the Christian share has fallen to just 16 percent and continues to decline. Christians cite these reasons for leaving Jesus’ birthplace: violence and coercion to convert to Islam, religious and legal discrimination, desecration of holy sites, and social exclusion. A Palestinian state, if established, would mark the end for Christians, Jews, Druze, and all other non-Muslim and non-Arab communities.

@RangeWolf2229 @VividProwess Meaning, killing civilians is ok if your side does it. The perhaps you have no moral standing to be pontificating against the actions of the IDF. If anything goes, what's the problem?

@VividProwess You must behave better in the future

Yuval, a survivor of the Nova Music Festival on October 7th: “I saw my husband dead. I covered myself with his blood so they'd think we were dead. We saw point-blank killings. The hardest thing we witnessed was the rape. I never heard cries for help like those from that woman."

@Dario111002515 @Reuters They've been making weapons since before WWII. It's a significant industry

@Reuters Switzerland? Weapons exports? 😂😂😂. Chocolate a watches.

Switzerland halts weapons exports to US due to Iran war, citing neutrality reut.rs/4rKI10i reut.rs/4rKI10i

@LeftJab4 @nxd1979 By no means is it a uniquely Balkan phenomenon. Based on data I saw years ago the Balkans and the Middle East have the highest rates of conspiratorial thinking, but I imagine the rest of the World is now not lagging far behind sadly.

@TheDataDecoded @nxd1979 Not a uniquely Balkan susceptibility but a symptom of post-communist transition, structural adjustment & the anomie produced by economic polarization, corruption & lack of opportunities. Ahem, Alex Jones? Info Wars? Joe Rogan? John Birch Society? QAnon? Satanic panic? C'mon, man.

pseudohistory is huge in serbia. here's a best selling book positing that the etruscans are actually serbs

So the fact that all large gatherings, including those at Jewish religious sites, have been prevented due to the Iranians strikes is not relevant to mention in your view. You just present this fact s discriminatory when everyone has to abide by the same rule. You just hate Israelis.

@uricohenisrael Israel Occupation Force prevented Muslims worshippers in the holy month of Ramadan. You are a hypocrite.

Where is all of the rage over Iran almost hitting the Al Aqsa Mosque and other significantly important religious sites???

@TheMindScourge Why are young Serbians so happy?

Israel is the 8th happiest country in the world, and 3rd happinest amongst those 25 and under In general, the happiest countries for the young would be very hard to predict; for example, Serbia is world-leading here, and Romania is 7th

At this point, even if you are completely opposed to everything Israel is trying to achieve, you must worry about the almost complete normalization of anti-Jewish hatred and threat of violence seen everywhere around the world. We are sleepwalking into another pogrom if we continue down this path. It is especially worrying how the left has brought itself to a position where its reproducing both Nazi and Islamic tropes about Jews without the tiniest hint of irony. This is all dangerous and it's likely to get worse due to generational differences.

Really starting to feel like all the anti-semitism out there is turning me into a Zionist

@simonmontefiore Why does the Australian PM need to appease the country's Muslim community? Where is this coming from?

Australia’s PM called a ‘putrid dog’ and chased out of mosque: Morning of prayer turns into high-speed exit for Anthony Albanese as his attempt to appease and garner the ‘multicultural vote’ was met with boos telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…

@Alfonso84611658 @AdinHaykin1 Yes yes, it's the Jews. The other 99.5% of non-Jewish politicians and policy makers cannot be expected to have any agency in their country's policies and general direction. The Jews dictate everything.

@AdinHaykin1 It's actually left wing jews that push for muslim and african immigration in these countries.

Pray for Iceland

@ClemCarroll @gra_dEirinn Yes, blame the Jews for the fact that there's people out these who will justify attacking civilians in their place of worship for something happening in a different continent. It's only normal, right?

@gra_dEirinn Thank Bibi for that,

It's jarring to drive past a synagogue with visible Gardaí patrols and private security. A sad reflection that our tiny Jewish community, with deep Irish roots, now requires this level of vigilance just to gather for prayer.

@ilicmladen @GadSaad What traits for example?

@GadSaad I don’t know man.. I’m currently reading Two Hundred Years Together by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and some Jewish behavioral traits keep repeating themselves throughout history that almost always makes the local population very mad

It's as though Jews are being hunted down throughout Europe. Do we know who is doing the harassment and hunting?

@BOSANSKIKODIAK @DanBurmawy It's like telling a ballet dancer they have no career without dancing ballet. Well yes, that is their job and they stop doing it it's not.

@DanBurmawy You have no career without Islam The moment you dont talk about islam you will homeless

An algorithm simply means a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem. Ancient Babylonians used systematic procedures for solving equations. Greek mathematicians like Euclid described the Euclidean algorithm for finding the greatest common divisor. Indian mathematicians developed rule-based arithmetic methods centuries before al-Khwarizmi. So the concept of algorithms predates him by over a millennium. He didn’t invent algorithms, he popularized structured computational methods and gave his name to the term.

@ixtland @mishtal I'm sure we don't agree on the Israel-Palestine topic, but I appreciate you for double-checking and correcting yourself. Either way, Smotrich is as despicable as they come from what I know of him and both sides would be better off if he didn't hold an influential position.

@TheDataDecoded @mishtal Thanks! I checked it out. You're right, he didn't say those exact words. It seems like these words are an implication of what he said about Palestine and Palestinians. I'm gonna delete that. I hate them so much, but I also hate to lie. The truth about them is horrific enough.

Lots of sick people on here celebrating tonight, because Iranian missiles managed to kill a couple of Israeli pensioners in their seventies, and damage a Tel Aviv railway station and a commuter train. Then in their next post, they will pretend they care about international law.

@MikhailW84192 @Israel2252 Then why is it bad for Israel to cluster bomb anyone?

Like literally every single incoming Iranian missile is loaded with cluster bombs. The world doesn’t just ignore it—in many cases, it celebrates this war crime against Israelis. But no worries—this isn’t me whining about bringing the Iranian mullahs to the ICC or playing the victim card . It’s a warning: come for us, and we will make sure your great-great-grandchildren shudder at the thought of attacking ours.

Why do people think a tiny Middle Eastern country with a GDP of $130 billion in 2001 could make the U.S. do anything? Apart from the fact that Israel did not want Americans to invade Iraq, isn't it much more likely that the U.S., as the most powerful country in the history of the World, can do what it wants? If its geostrategic interests align with Israel's, sure, Israel will provide the political and military support and vice versa. But a confluence of interests in no way means Israel has some shady level of influence on the U.S. What we are seeing more recently is again a confluence of interests between the two countries in an environment where Israel is more determined than ever to resolve several of its geostrategic problems and the U.S. sees this as an opportunity to work with a strong ally to do the same. This is independent of the wisdom in any of these decisions. All I'm saying is it's weird to say Israel controls anything. It's just that they are a very competent actor in a part of the World critical to U.S. and others' interests.

The canard that the US went to war in Iraq because of Israel is the giveaway here. Anyone who knows anything about that time knows that is not the case. In fact Israeli security officials were skeptical about the Iraq war in part because they thought Iran was the bigger danger

@LeinadFre @chico_ray I think your last sentence says it all really. You are not making a moral argument against what Israel did in response to being attacked. You are just sad the side you support isn't strong enough to do kill indiscriminately to stick it to the evil Israelis.

@TheDataDecoded @chico_ray The kibbutzim are armed to the teeth and those settlers often engage in violence against Palestinians with the protection of the state. As for the Nova festival, many were armed, I assume all IDF given universal conscription. Don't see a problem. It was on the way, why not?

1 - Hamas builds infrastructure under homes, schools and hospitals. 2 - Hamas booby traps homes—making going door to door costly in lives and time. Instead of getting blown up, it was easier to blow up the infrastructure. 3 - Israel lets civilians know before a strike takes place. 4 - Hamas took hostages and hid them amongst the population. This is how you get such a massive level of destruction. And yet, there was no “genocide”. Maybe don’t attack a militarily superior fighting force—rape and butcher civilians—take hostages, and fire endless barrages of rockets.
