Don't worry, an MS13 member and a school shooter once walked across that border together so it's okay because it's definitely for everyone's safety.

I'm not an Aussie and I'm not following this in particular, but from what I've seen that's how bad ideas work: you don't want to start a dialogue where the noes point out all the flaws in your ideas. In the US the extreme of this is legislation passed in a specially coordinated session at midnight with an absolute minimum of debate.

With that said, why the hell does a budgeted program belong in a constitution and not in a regular legislated budget? And why the hell does one specific group need specific recognition defined at the level of a constitution, as opposed to broad rules changed in such a way that their specific exclusion is forbidden with a catch all that also benefits other minorities?

Yeah shielding. Totally passive.

mobsters did that in their houses, people who buy them often only learn about the previous owner after realizing that one or two rooms are faraday cages - zero wifi or cellular.

Thank heavens, children could have been hurt!

I think one key difference is that Israel has compulsory service for everyone. Like if in the 1770s the Torrey soldiers on leave held a music festival and they all got gunned down, I'm fairly certain the history books would not change substantially. It's abhorrent, but if you were in the same situation - occupation by some analogous group to wherever you live who have overwhelming military superiority - would you give up your Identity and assimilate, or try to make them hurt? I'm absolutely NOT saying Palestinians are the good guys, I'm just saying I understand where they're coming from.

"I would love to live here"photo looks like a typical suburb - with a population density that is at a level where everyone still needs to own a car. I'm thinking European cities like Bern. Most people don't need one to get to work but basically every household still needs one for non-work use.

Car-free population density should be more like minor Japanese cities (like Kanazawa, etc), or old towns in Europe (downtown Bordeaux).

I know we only ever see a handful of rooms, that's fine, but with over 100 crew they always all have personal quarters that are probably the square footage of 3/4'ish containers.

150m in diameter is one way to think about it. But then it's also 8 containers long, or 25 containers circumference at the largest point down to no more than a few in circumference at the bridge.

You know, that seems tiny, it's like there's no volume left for the hardware that needs to be between every room and all over the hull

Both sides paint the other as the enemy of democracy and freedom.

That's just what happens when you have two authoritarian parties. They just lob Accusation-In-a-Mirror attacks at each other.
