Hamas is a terrorist organisation. Does it need to be condemned? Is Hamas a legitimate, recognised state and member of the UN? Israel is a sovereign state and member of the UN; it is therefore subject to higher standards. It should leave the UN or withdraw its staff, incl. its ambassador, if it does not like the UN.

In Metro Vancouver, Los Angeles and the state of Washington, my experience with Apple Maps has been far better than Google Maps; the latter seems to have stagnated completely.

Apple Maps provides me with more accessible info. e.g. "turn right at the next traffic light", "stay in the second lane from the left" vs. "In 200 metres, turn right onto 1st Avenue" (where it's always off by 50m) and nothing about lanes

"Western morals"?! Those same western morals which awarded the recent soccer world cup to Qatar in spite of pre-existing, regular, un-changed trend of deaths of labour workers? The entire Gulf Arabia has had a long-established culture where labourers, "… workers or nannies are treated like literal slaves, sanctioned or not…"

Thousands died over the course of the construction of the entire infrastructure for the World Cup. Every country that participated in the World Cup played on the graves of the dead.

Is it "western morals" to patronise death by physical abuse, to play on the graves of the dead?

By the way, many countries and peoples are still waiting for the "western morals" to bear forth apologies and compensation for the African/Atlantic slave trade.

I thought this was fairly obvious. Imperfections would only compound over time. Does anyone remember recursively inter-translating between two languages?
