And yet it looks outdated in its UI and UX, not to mention slow in MacOS I was a huge supporter of both Firefox and thunderbird in the early 00s but their UI/UX became so bad and so old (not to mention insecure) that forced me to go safari and Apple Mail. Both not great, but def much better than the Mozilla offerings. I wish they just rewrite the app from zero, with a modern architecture and UI, and supporting modern hardware.

Oh, you want history...

The "indigenous Arab" populations stole it from the Romans, who stole it from... Oh, the Jews!

But OK, I guess then the UK should be blamed from stealing the land from the Native Americans in the US and Canada, and Spain from Latin America... Oh, and BTW, before Israel was "created" as you said, Jordan didn't exist, so, wait, do you want Jordan to also stop existing? What about Tibet? Can we speak with Chinese at the same hatred level you speak of Israel? And also, please learn your history. When the partition happened in '48, the Palestinians got a bigger piece, and they decided NOT to take it and attack. Israel was ok with having a small state to grab the survivors of the nazi atrocities, but no... And then the Palestinians began attacking non-stop, so, after 100+ years of Palestinians attacking Jews, all coming from a specific area of the country, then, what would you do? Look at 1993, 1995, 1997. ALL territories were going to go to the Palestinian Authority, and the master terrorist Arafat declined. So, please don't. Israel return ALL of Gaza WITH infrastructure to support the population... And what happened? The asshole Hamas took over and subjugated their own people. How is that Israeli apartheid? I can go on and on. Yes, there are bad things on the Israeli side, I agree. But look at the numbers. I'm done trying to explain things to people that barely understand the conflict at all.

My point exactly.

Alright then. Let's create a Palestinean state, ask all the Palestinians inside of Israel to move there, to be governed by their own elected government, and stop attacking Israel. Oh, wait... Yeah, no. You do understand that the so called "Apartheid" doesn't exists, right? If you ask the Israeli Arabs if they would move to "Palestine", the majority would tell you no. The Arabs living inside of Israel, not Gaza, and not the west bank, have the same rights, votes, representation in the Knesset (congress), free education, free healthcare, and the same rights to work than jews, Druze, christians, and the Bahai. If you have 90% of the terrorism coming from a specific place, you will monitor that. It has nothing to do with apartheid. And you saying this, specially as a jew, shows a complete ignorance for the subject at hand. I lived in Israel for 20 years. I lived in South Africa during the apartheid, I saw what that is. I also lived in South America during the Juntas and military governments. Israel is neither. People don't spend the time in Israel understanding this, or at least reading about it. Sorry, but it doesn't matter how much you scream or how much you can call me anything, truth is truth. Have a good one.

That's a different conversation. And yes, I agree with you.
