  • I’ve been following this and am intrigued, but the combo of the high price, crowdfunding, and lack of even a functioning prototype to show off has me skeptical enough to not throw down money in advance for one.

    If it actually comes out and they don’t go bankrupt during the design/manufacturing process, and if the phone is actually good, then I’d definitely consider buying one. I like the concept a lot.





  • You’re acting as if the Israeli’s gracefully gave Palestinians a home in Gaza. The conditions in Gaza are abysmal purely due to Israel’s actions.

    Palestinians were forced into Gaza after the slaughter of over 200 Palestinian towns in 1948. The survivors of those attacks, refugees, were forced into the area we now call Gaza.

    Gaza is effectively the world’s largest open air prison. They are fenced in by what Israel so lovingly calls the “iron wall”. Gaza citizens are not allowed to leave. They are prisoners of that strip.

    Their trade is severely limited. They face militarized border crossings on both ends with Egypt and Israel.

    Israel even built a sea wall to prevent fishing boats from being able to “go too far” and they patrol that sea wall with warships and will sink any boat that gets, what Israel deems as, too close to that sea wall.

    That isn’t a life. That isn’t living. The Palestinians in Gaza face unemployment rates of over 50%. They’re completely cut off from the world.

    Of course they’re going to fight back. I don’t know what anyone else would expect. You can’t treat people that way and expect that they’ll just lay down and take it.
