Shimon Peres is remembers as a dove, but was one of the originators of the Israeli settlement movement in the heart of the West Bank:
> "Shimon Peres was among the first in the Israeli leadership to promote the establishment of provocative Jewish settlements in the northern heart of the occupied West Bank, the area Israelis call Samaria."
> "Gershom Gorenberg in his book on Israel’s settlements, The Accidental Empire, details how repeated efforts to establish settlements near the Arab city of Nablus were rebuffed, until Mr. Peres quietly allowed a group to set up facilities at an old railway station named Sebastia and alongside an army camp in a place the settlers called Ofra."
I understand that brotli is incredibly slow as compared to LZMA when using these high ratio settings (q11, w24), so slow as to be impractical in production even in a write-once, read-many scenario if you have any non-trivial amount of data being regularly produced. I do not want to have a farm of machines just to handle the brotli compression load of our data sets just because it is 10x slower than LZMA.
