You mean the Jewish people who were there from the time of the Second Jewish Revolt on? Or those who came back and bought their lands back from the Ottoman Empire? Or the ones that settled there during the Mandate? Or the Holocaust survivors who fled from British concentration camps and Eastern European pogroms following the Second World War?
An independent Jewish state, one they tried to get with negotiation, isn't the problem, the real problem is that Jews have the audacity to not let themselves be eliminated from the planet.
Take that mentality to the American Indians, how much better off the American West, southern Mexico and Central America would be if the goddamned Indians had the common sense to just let themselves be thrown off the land mass.
Yes, in the British Empire and Commonwealth slavery ended quicker for most, but look at the plight of the Australian Aboriginal people, are you telling me that their oppression by the British and Australian governments and people were just fine? That they'd not have been better off if they'd been able to resist and fight for their territory and rights?
While the American Indians were defeated, being able to resist and fight, sometimes winning a battle and even a war like Red Cloud's War, lead to positive outcomes and stronger positions. American Indian tribes didn't suffer from Stolen Generations like the people of Australia did.
American Blacks did get the right to vote with war, the end of the American Civil War gave the Blacks the right to vote, the end of military occupation eroded that right and lead to Jim Crow, which was a regional and state issue, not a Federal one. Near insurrection in the 1960s, not peaceful protest lead to the Voters Rights Act and Civil Rights Act.
The 13th Amendment was politically viable and enforceable precisely because of the American Civil War, not in spite of it.
Warfare kept the Jewish people from being cast out of Palestine in 1948, not negotiation. Remember negotiation failed there when the Arabs decided to push the Jews into the sea.
Likewise revolt, insurrection and revolution lead to the end of serfdom in Russia, negotiation with Czars didn't end serfdom in Russia.
Israel has always been an industrial spy on the US and Western Europe, but their big focus is Iran right now, so they test it on the US, UK and Korea but the main focus is Iran.
Wouldn't be surprised to find it in Saudi systems too
1999, first couple nights of the Serbian War, the Serbs were out numbered and out matched, but they fought hard and since it was such a small theatre it was a struggle.
War ended the systematic murder of Jews, Roma and Homosexuals in Europe.
Explain how the Nazi government was going to rationally treat the Slavs, Jews, Roma, Homosexuals, mentally ill and genetically defective people in Western and Central Europe.
By advocating isolation of Germany, Finland, Italy, etc, you'd condem millions of people to terrible fates just because.
The idea that "there are always ways that all parties can resolve their legitmate conflicts to the greater benefit of everyone," was thrown out the door and stomped on by Hitler following the partition of Czechoslovakia.
Would Blacks in the American south have been better served by decades more slavery?
From your link - "In most areas of the United States, Class E airspace extends from 1,200 feet (370 m) AGL up to but not including 18,000 feet (5,500 m) MSL, the lower limit of Class A airspace."
There are no classes of airspace that match your definition from that link
The US Civil War was the first "modern" war with the might of industrialization and machines pushing the destruction and casualty rates.
Machine guns, repeating rifles, giant mortars, spotting aircraft, submarines, armored warships, siege warfare, total war, concentration camps for prisoners, the Civil War had it all.
Were there to be an uprising in the US, nuclear weapons would never be used, like in the Civil War the large segments of the military would splinter off into the rebelling faction and the nuclear sites would simply be sat on by forces loyal to the Federal Government or Pentagon.
UAVs would be less effective in a US civil war now than they are in Iraq or Afghanistan, simply put the revolting faction knows where the UAVs are and could strike at their basing airfields. The UAV airfields are all in "Red" states (North Dakota, Arizona, Texas and Nevada) and the US is big, theres alot more territory with terrain less conductive to recon from the air.
Or Player of Games, theres nearly as many pages devoted to life on the Orbital in Player of Games as there was in Consider Phlebas.
The time on the island and the time at the game of Damage don't really have anything to do with Vavatch, they could be anywhere, but the first chunk of Player of Games talks about the Orbital.
Disaster aid, mass evacuation, anti-piracy, regional stability (sending carriers to the Straits of Taiwan to keep China from attacking in 1995), and good old fashioned war fighting.
Lets count Quebec as French, just to piss off the Quebec nationalists and the French, so it's the second closest country to the US;).
France almost got the US to invade Mexico to help the Mexicans, thats saying something right there. As it was the US pushed a bunch of arms and gear across the Rio Grande for the Mexican rebels to use against the French.
ITER as others have pointed out, is not a French reactor, it's a reactor being built in France by international partners
France is also on the leading edge of stifling religious freedom among the Islamic community, to hell with a controversy with a multi-use building, they are banning Islamic clothing
They aren't that good. It's been over a year and they can't figure out where the Muldoon Gamestop is in Anchorage or where anything in the tikahtnu commons are.
You see the pictures of him? He looked like a juvenile maniac.
Buddy of mine applied and interviewed at Google Kirkland, he isn't the business-pro type and is a little feral as a bachelor, but he shaves and doesn't stalk boys. He wasn't impressed at all with Google's corporate culture or the people who interviewed him.
Had he gone to work there he would have been working with this joker.

Service celling of a 777 is 43,000, same for A-380 and 787.
My cousin is an airline pilot, CRJs and now A-320s and they generally fly at 41,000

It's not?
They have a .gov, http://americansamoa.gov/
The CIA says it's an American Territory
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/aq.html
"unincorporated and unorganized territory of the US; administered by the Office of Insular Affairs, US Department of the Interior"
And the Chief of State is President Barack H. Obama (since 20 January 2009); Vice President Joseph R. Biden (since 20 January 2009)
And Federal Courts seem to have jurisdiction there

So it's pretty much technically a part of the United States
When a Nimitz or Ford class finally does get sunk someday, boy thats going to be a mess.
More people than who died at WTC or Pearl Harbor, nuclear weapons, nuclear reactors and god knows what else is in those things.
They are blocking some other big solar plant because of a tortoise species now.

American Samoa is officially part of the United States.
The U.S. formally occupied it's part of Samoa in 1900, Samoans are US citizens and serve in the US military.
Hell 30 of them play in the NFL and over 200 play in division I college football.
US got American Samoa in 1899, Wake, Hawaii too, Johnson Atoll in 1858.
Samoa is independent and was part of the British Empire and New Zealand up till 1962

They are very valuable for bringing aid to disaster struck places and for bring bombs and missile to places that are about to be struck by disaster.
Aircraft carrier. They have one and it's a pretty crappy one too, they built it too short for flight ops, something they learned when they tried to conduct flight ops on it, it has a balky reactor, it breaks propellers, etc.

France has territory outside of western Europe.
So even if France was a smoking crater in Europe, there would still be a nation of France.

His reply to the media was "You must have heard some pretty wild things if you think me getting fired is newsworthy,"
He also has a history of pulling this kind of thing, so I doubt he has learned a damn thing.
