My guess is that they’re calculating that it’s better to capitulate than to have to rehome the millions of Israeli citizens if Israel ceases to exist. They’re trying to keep Israel as a containment zone, because if Israel falls, where the Jews go? I can’t think of a single country in the region that would take them willingly. They’d have to migrate to the US or Europe.

Your comment only makes sense if you have no idea what the NK regime is. Since the 50s, all the other ethnicities would’ve left.
I don’t speak Polish, but I learned about the language in linguistics at some point.
They weren’t constantly rotating those positions though? I’m not saying the colonies became fully integrated like how France’s modern colonial empire.
The point I’m getting at with colonial powers was that English/French was forced onto the locals in one way or the other. Also, British/French citizens moved to the colonies and maintained a permanent presence there, which had lasting impact all over the world.
A lot of these actually make a lot of sense. All of these countries make it incredibly hard to integrate into society as a foreigner either because of domestic policy or straight up the language barrier.
In the case of Tunisia, it’s the most liberal Arab country, which is remarkably close to France because of colonialism. Many Arabs wouldn’t want to move to such a place. I don’t think Tunisian Arabic would be the barrier there.
Polish is fucking difficult to pronounce with its 4 and 5 consonant clusters (if I had to guess, most languages max out at 3), and it’s not found anywhere else in the world because Poland didn’t colonize anywhere. They were lucky to get their own country if you look into their history.
Armenia is incredibly socially, religiously, and linguistically dissimilar to everywhere around it. Good luck wanting to move there; 2/3’s of ethnic Armenians live outside the country.
Egypt is the most surprising, because it was colonized and bothered by both the British and French, but it doesn’t have that diversity anymore?
Jordan is a theocratic strong monarchy. Makes sense that non-Jordanese wouldn’t move there.
Bangladeshi people were packed into the country with the partition of India. It’s super ethnically dissimilar to Burma and India. The partition really amplified that.
If I had to stab at it, maybe they consider north/south related families separately? There can’t possibly be Chinese living there outside of government contracting.
The problem is that it’s just fundamentally not compelling. They failed at selling VR/AR as a non-gaming platform. I can’t imagine wanting to use VR for anything but gaming, and it was especially handicapped for that purpose not being able to be optionally tethered to a MacBook for games.
My lightning AirPods Max don’t wake up on their own if they’ve gone into deep sleep while plugged in. I have to unplug them and plug them in again every single time I use them (I have them plugged in on my desk in the case when not in use)
My M2 iPad Pro hitches every single time I enter the App Library when it didn’t do that prior to iPadOS 26.
The background in MacOS turns black when swiping over spaces with fullscreen apps while in Mission Control.
Latest software all around.
Dammit, he’s a billionaire… I thought he did the best in this piece on homelessness
Link please!
It’s genuinely insane to me that he’d want to be in that role for so long. Like what do you even need past 10M$ of net worth lmao.
As a non-veggie (no mammalian meats though), Indian food is absolutely the best introduction to vegetarian food you can find.
That’s why I said he’s lucky to be alive
The principal should’ve been shot in the head there. Dude’s lucky to be alive.
Edit: I’m not saying he should’ve been killed, but he was lucky that he wasn’t…
Your casually picking a country to move to based on internet speed is nuts lol.
Just keep in mind, the better cell carrier heavily depends on where you are. Verizon in Tucson is the worst cell provider, and T-Mobile has been better than AT&T overall (except in the desert).
Are you texting someone on T-Mobile by chance?

It’s not my view that they’re unwelcome. It’s the reality of NK…
