Did anyone else have this tradition every New Years of watching Putin’s New Years address?

Israel offers the Palestinians the foundation of a two state solution, offering the Palestinians all this land. Instead of negotiating, they [🇵🇸] launch an Intifada. Despite launching an Intifada, Israeli leaders again offer the West Bank, and leave the Gaza Strip. The Palestinians instead of turning Gaza into the next Singapore or Hong Kong, turn it into a terror base.

Me to ChatGPT: What percentage of the West bank was offered to the Palestinians in The 2000, camp david summit with Bill Clinton, Ehud Barak, and Yasser Arafat? ChatGPT: At the 2000 Camp David Summit, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak reportedly offered the Palestinians between 91-95% of the West Bank along with additional land swaps from within Israel to compensate for the annexation of major Israeli settlement blocs in the West Bank. However, the exact details of the offer remain a subject of debate, as no formal written proposal was presented. Additionally, the offer included shared sovereignty or special arrangements for parts of East Jerusalem, including religious sites. The Palestinians, led by Yasser Arafat, did not accept the proposal, citing concerns over the size and quality of the land being offered, sovereignty over East Jerusalem, and other issues such as the right of return for Palestinian refugees. The summit ended without an agreement, and the lack of clarity around the details of the proposal has fueled continued controversy and differing interpretations of what was offered. Me to ChatGPT: What was the result of this summit? ChatGPT: The 2000 Camp David Summit, hosted by U.S. President Bill Clinton and attended by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat, ended without an agreement on a final-status peace deal. The summit's failure had significant political and social consequences for both sides, as well as for the broader Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Key Results and Consequences: No Peace Agreement: The parties could not agree on critical issues such as borders, Jerusalem, Palestinian refugees, security arrangements, and settlements. The lack of a formal agreement deepened mistrust between the two sides. Blame and Controversy: The U.S. and Israel largely blamed Arafat for the failure, accusing him of rejecting a generous offer and not presenting a counterproposal. The Palestinians argued that the Israeli proposal fell short of meeting their minimum requirements for sovereignty, particularly regarding East Jerusalem and the right of return for refugees. Outbreak of the Second Intifada: Shortly after the summit, in September 2000, the Second Intifada (a widespread Palestinian uprising against Israeli rule) broke out, leading to years of violent conflict. While the direct link between the summit's failure and the intifada is debated, the breakdown of negotiations contributed to the frustration and unrest. Political Fallout: Ehud Barak's government faced significant criticism in Israel, leading to his political defeat in the 2001 elections to Ariel Sharon. Yasser Arafat's leadership was further scrutinized internationally, and his position as a peace partner was undermined. Clinton's Frustration: President Clinton expressed disappointment with the outcome, particularly with Arafat's stance. In his later accounts, he criticized Arafat for missing an opportunity to achieve peace. Shift in Negotiation Dynamics: The summit set a precedent for discussing final-status issues in detail but also revealed how entrenched and irreconcilable the positions of both sides were at the time. It contributed to the loss of momentum in the peace process, leading to years of stagnation. The Camp David Summit remains a pivotal moment in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, often seen as a missed opportunity for peace. It highlighted the deep divisions and the challenges in resolving one of the most protracted conflicts in modern history. Me: How much land was offered in 2008? ChatGPT: In 2008, during the negotiations led by then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, Olmert reportedly offered the Palestinians approximately 93-94% of the West Bank, along with land swaps equivalent to an additional 5-6% from Israeli territory. This would have effectively given the Palestinians a state with roughly 98% of the West Bank's total area. Key Details of the Offer: Land Swaps: Olmert proposed annexing major Israeli settlement blocs in the West Bank while compensating the Palestinians with land from within Israel. The proposed land swaps were intended to make the Palestinian state contiguous and address the realities of large Israeli settlement blocs. Jerusalem: Olmert offered shared sovereignty over parts of Jerusalem. The Old City, including its holy sites, would be governed by an international committee comprised of representatives from Israel, Palestine, the United States, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. Palestinian Refugees: Olmert proposed allowing a limited number of Palestinian refugees to return to Israel as part of a broader solution but did not agree to the "right of return" as framed by the Palestinians. Outcome: Mahmoud Abbas did not accept the offer, and negotiations broke down. Abbas later cited concerns over the lack of a detailed map and reservations about some aspects of the proposal, including the territorial swaps and the arrangement for Jerusalem. Olmert's legal and political troubles, including corruption charges that eventually forced his resignation, contributed to the collapse of the talks. Legacy: The 2008 offer is often cited as one of the most comprehensive peace proposals made to the Palestinians. However, like earlier attempts, it failed to bridge the fundamental gaps between the two sides on key final-status issues such as borders, Jerusalem, settlements, and refugees.

I do actually have a sincere question for those who are really empathic towards the Palestinian cause. But why did the Palestinians reject the peace deals that gave them almost everything that they wanted. In 2000, Yasser Arafat and Ehud Barak were invited to Camp David to negotiate land. Arafat was offered 90 - 95% of the West Bank (according to ChatGPT). Instead of accepting the deal, the Palestinians launched the second intifada. And again, in 2008, they were offered 90 - 95% of the West Bank, despite the intifada, and declined it. If they had accepted the offer, then with their new autonomous state, they could have passed a law allowing all displaced Palestinians to go to the West Bank, and live happily ever after. But they didn't. If they [Palestinians] accepted the offer, then there would be none of the encroaching settlements and occupation of the West Bank we keep hearing about.

I really like this subreddit, its super in depth with its live videos on the conflict. https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/ There's as well this Telegram channel. https://t.me/s/warmonitors

Currently teaching myself Calculus I with textbooks. Calculus I for Dummies and Calculus I for Dummies Workbook, for those curious.

Man... I wish I could do mathematics. For those following my forum drama for the past year.

@Leo Gura Do you currently speak to anyone in Russian, such as to your family? When you were growing up as a child, teenager, or young adult at home, were you speaking to your family in Russian or English?

So this is from my personal life. During the summer of 2023, I visited Germany. I'm Russian (half Russian-Lebanese. 50/50 split), and the family I was staying with was Ukrainian. This was because my family knew this family very intimately. The family consisted of a great grandmother in her 70's, and grandmother in her 50's, a mother in her 30's, 32 to be exact, and her son who was 6. Due to the war, they had obtained refugee status in Germany. The husband of the 32 year old, who is also 32, was not in Germany, but in Ukraine. It is illegal for men in between the ages of 18 - 60 to leave Ukraine. It used to be 25 - 60, but they're getting desperate. Men are literally getting snatched off the street and thrown into a van to go to war. https://www.reddit.com/r/ActualPublicFreakouts/comments/13ymf5u/odesa_ukraine_women_at_a_bus_stop_laugh_as_a_man/?utm_source=embedv2&utm_medium=post_embed&utm_content=post_title To avoid this, the husband literally hid in his apartment for a total of three years. Only very recently did he pay a human trafficker/people smuggler to illegally take him to Poland, where he made it to Germany. Now back to the family. Before the war, they barely had any money for anything. My family would have to constantly donate to them my old hand-me-downs, as they couldn't afford basic clothing even though they were nurses and doctors. Very recently, I gave the 6 year old boy my old Washington Redskins hat, scarf, and mittens. But the German Government is very generous to refugees, and they [the family] received a generous stipend from the Government. For the first time in their lives, they were able to travel to; Portugal, Spain, and Italy. The poor husband came to his wife and kids, for whom he has not seen for three years, only to discover that the wife wants a divorce. Why? While she was in Italy, she met an Italian man for whom she has been dating. The two elder women of the family are in tears, everyone else is perplexed and angry. It looks like she's going to divorce this poor man that she's been married to since I think aged 22 - 24? IDK. Your thoughts?

@Capital I can definitely empathize with this. I had an overbearing mother for whom I was terrified of, and still am, I feel the fear down to my bones. My Dad was not in the picture and my Mom was dysfunctional. I still bear the pathologies and a poor relationship with women. I've always wondered why do I have Red tendencies and modes of thought. I like to think of it as a mix of poor parenting and treatment for classmates. I went to schools which had a lot of ghetto people, for whom didn't treat me well.

BTW, I'm very certain that Leo was born in Russia and is half Ukrainian. Wonder if he still speaks/understands 🇷🇺.

I don’t.

I need to revise the Life Purpose Course. The problem is that I truly don't know myself or who I am. I deluded myself, imagining that I had strengths that I didn't have. I thought Math and Science was my zone of genius, but it turns out no.

I used to be super pro-Hezbollah and Russia, but then I studied Spiral Dynamics integral and Sociology, which helped pull me out of that poisonous mindset. What ultimately ended that way of thinking for me was the Conscious Politics Series. My family is Shi'ite Muslim (as opposed to Sunni), so they tend to be pro Iran and Hezbollah. I can understand that perspective, but just take a look at it from the man's point of view. He was unfairly separated from his wife and family due to geopolitics for which he has no control of, forced to bunker down in his apartment like some sort of neckbeard hermit for almost three years now. He was probably missing his wife and kids, and now he has to deal with this new level of emotional pain. This is a problem for men who go off to war. Whether or not their wives will be faithful is usually not guaranteed. While thousands of men are sitting in some trench, the women are off in Europe somewhere living their best lives.

Don’t know the specific details.

Do you dislike humans in general?

I do wonder if the creation of Taiwan as an independent country was a mistake. The Nationalists clearly lost, though not officially. Virtually no countries recognize Taiwan. But at the same time, while it is easy for me to judge American foreign policy, imagine if America hadn’t intervened in Korea? How was America at the time supposed to know that China was going to become this big manufacturing powerhouse?

It's very fascinating to see people on the lower end of the IQ scale, and how they operate in society. Their lives are dedicated to satisfying the reptilian part of their brain with pleasure, getting revenge on their enemies, etc... No sense of higher life purpose, or even any religious intuition. I've encountered a lot of shady people whilst attending High School, particularly the kids from Baltimore (City). As well as my College is located in Baltimore County, so I've seen my fare share of shady people. For some people, negotiations, dialogue, and compromise doesn't ~register~ in their minds, and they tilt their heads like confused dogs. Violence is the only understandable language. This would explain why so many countries have such brutal dictatorships. Or are governed by strict Shariah code/law, or tribal code, such as in the case of Afghanistan. But the real challenge is introspecting, and seeing in the many ways in which I personally act like these people. All the people I obsess about getting revenge on, all the times I just pig out on pleasures, my intense desires for carnal pleasures, my judgements, hatred, and demonizations of others, all the lies that I tell to others and myself, and all the delusional beliefs I cary. If it weren't for Actualized.org, parenting, and education, I would be just like them.

This soldier in the video below has the right idea.

Yeah, but most of the videos I see one Reddit and Telegram are of a single drone chasing down a single guy for whom most of the time doesn't even shoot back. Or if he does shoot back with his outdated Kalashnikov, he misses all of the shots. https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/comments/1fd2ewu/russian_soldiers_fail_to_down_drone_so_one_throws/
