You are correct and incorrect at the same time. It’s a nerdy joke. Please see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romani_ite_domum

Interesting read, too. Thanks! To bad we have to fight about “who came first”, which becomes a “chicken or egg” question in my humble opinion. Instead of just living together and share the space. Like we do in most parts of the world.

;-) Or maybe we have to “give back” the area to the Greek (sea) folks?! But there is always the problem about where to move all the people to …

Oh, ok. Sounds bad, sorry for you! - I am not using OneDrive. Neither paid or unpaid.

Right, I am totally aware of that historical bias. Thanks for the reminder anyway!

And I agree with most of your description. - Just making it clear: I am especially not basing my point of view on “the Bible stuff”, but the broader historical information. So, the basic knowledge which is generally accepted by historians holds for me. Hence the reference on Wikipedia. (It’s science. You trust the facts. And the cross-checked information. Until proven otherwise by new discovery.) About the details we can (and have to) discuss.

PS: Your image link is not working.

Intrigued by your newer posts, I had to see what your parents said earlier. - Wow, this definitely sound like a hard conspiracy theory! Difficult to believe.

But I want to mention, that if you look up different news outlets (even from Israel itself), that is has been established for months now: The Israeli intelligence/military and a bit later Netanyahu had some knowledge about the upcoming attack.

This is still being investigated. And sure, many details are hard to trust and the actions very doubthful. - I am unsure, if this will ever be cleared to the full extend. Unfortunately.

Well, as far as my history knowledge goes, the term “Palestine” for the region was introduced by the Romans. I thought, that was more well known? - Here, quoting from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine_(region)):

Roman authorities renamed the province of Judaea to “Syria Palaestina” in c. 135 CE to punish Jews for the Bar Kokhba Revolt and permanently sever ties between Jews and the province.

Ah, right. The article also states that the term has been used by the greek Herodotus in the 5th century BCE. So it was probably known and used some time before the Roman conquest of the area, I suppose?

So I guess, the statement from your parents seems mostly right. Maybe just framed bad. Unclear why this is a Zionist take, if it’s just the documented history.

Unexpected Monthy Python reference. Nice.

Really? What apps in particular? Asking, because I have not come across “extra payment for unrequested AI” yet.

Interesting feature, surely possible. I have seen that on “Threema”. Of course, secured by two layers of passwords/-phrases and strict connection procedure.

Well, as for many topics, also “privacy” in detail seems to be very different to many people. Personally I like the “auto-expire” feature in every messager app. But I also know people, who get angry about deleted chats. Because they forgot, what’s been said in the past or they want to look up stuff months ago, or … I else don’t know.

Hmm … are you talking about the original Signal app or the Molly app? Because I don’t really understand your news here.

For me, as far as I am aware, Signal has always been synchronising the chat history. The only condition being, that you have connected your device before in the past, which I think is a good privacy feature. (Although, I haven’t checked, how far back it goes. Never needed that.) - You don’t want any random new device read all our history, or do you?
