Looking at the Israeli startup scene, there is a huge surge in cybersecurity investments (especially agentic security) in the last couple of months, looks very abnormal.

New comment by myth_drannon in "Spain shuts airspace for US planes involved in Iran war"

myth_drannon — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 19:52:58 +0000

It would have been a valid criticism if it mentioned US aid to Ukraine (which is far larger), or aid to Egypt or the aid by maintaining military bases in South Korea, Japan, Europe. But nothing of that was mentioned, only the Jewish state. Hence it is a good ol' antisemitism.

Nope, Israel had it much earlier.

the OP wrote that the money went to Israel instead of the American healthcare system. The argument is old, like 1500 years old, "of course the jews stole it!" Canadian health care system is garbage, but at least we don't blame jews for that (for now).

Israel has had public education and public healthcare forever, even going back when US had no colored and jews signs in their public spaces.

There are also Editions64K books https://www.editions64k.fr . But it's more Amiga scene oriented.

Yes, maybe. It's the old jewish way of dealing with being powerless in exile. You try to hit us, we smile and joke. It's not healthy.

I think it's now more about gaining power as a nation and not being at the mercy of those who seek to destroy us.

It's sad to see Canada drop so much, as much as Congo, Malawi and a bunch of other war torn places.

It had a huge drop in positive emotions due to the war with Gaza in 2023. Actually, negative emotions were higher than positive which is sad and expected. But the index includes many metrics that don't change rapidly like GDP, life expactancy.. so any short conflict will not have outsized effect.

Sending is easy, but hitting something... They are shooting at an open desert and Gaza while exposing their launch teams.

Can we just agree that the internet is broken and no amount of boutique search solutions will save it? Kagi, DDG, Google they are all trying to do a search in a pile of steaming sh*, in a hope of finding that shining diamond.

Quite possible that people will come up with a solution eventually. Like Samizdat was a solution to censorship and a broken publishing system in USSR.
