»Dr Mohammed Saqr, director of nursing at Gaza’s Nasser MC in Khan Younis, said he had personally witnessed countless mass casualty incidents in recent weeks.
“The scenes are truly shocking – they resemble the horrors of judgment day. Sometimes within just half an hour we receive over 100 to 150 cases, ranging from severe injuries to deaths … About 95% of these injuries and deaths come from food distribution centres – what are referred to as the ‘American food distribution centres’«
»“The scale and frequency of these incidents are without precedent. In just over a month, the number of patients treated has surpassed the total seen in all mass casualty events during the entire previous year,” the ICRC said in a statement.
“Among the wounded are toddlers, teenagers, elderly, mothers – and overwhelmingly, young men and boys. Most say they were simply trying to get food or aid for their families.”,«
»“We are really struggling … We are running out of external fixators, which are vital for [treating] open fractures, and critical medicines including pain killers, antibiotics and anaesthetics. For some things, there is just zero stock,” Claire Jeffreys said.«
»“Staff are racing to treat an unrelenting tide of injuries, the vast majority caused by gunfire … [which] has overwhelmed Gaza’s shattered healthcare system, pushing its already-diminished capacity past its limit,” the ICRC said.«
»“In the previous rotations, we would work in the operating theatre on between eight and 10 cases. Right now, we are working on 30-40 cases per day,” said Haitam al-Hasan, an operating theatre nurse at the ICRC’s Rafah hospital.
“We have people screaming, rushing, trying to be the first in the line because, of course, everybody wants to be treated first. We have a variety of injuries, mostly complex injuries, blast injuries, but mainly gunshot injuries.”«
»1,580 doctors and medical personnel have been killed in the conflict.
On 2 July, an Israeli airstrike killed Dr Marwan al-Sultan, a highly experienced cardiologist and director of the Indonesian hospital in Gaza.
Among the healthcare workers killed in the past 50 days were three other doctors, the chief nurses of the Indonesian hospital and Nasser children’s hospital, one of Gaza’s most senior midwives, a senior radiology technician and dozens of young medical graduates and trainee nurses.«

@Carter Braxton there are different possible approaches. You may have a "use-based property" : the land's owner is whoever uses it. If you live in a house, its yours. If you till a field, it's yours. That's not unlike what the pioneers did... Of course the moment you leave a property unused, it's up for grabs, to whoever needs it.
There's also Geolibertarianism which is interesting. I had a good paper about this somewhere but I can't find it at the moment, and the geolibs website disappeared eons ago. Generally speaking I quite like Georgism overall.
State ownership is fine for unused land such as natural parks. Obviously it doesn't work well for productive uses.

Federated Services are services which many instances form a network to provide a greater whole than the sum of their parts, each participant in the Fediverse is an “instance”. A message or other item made available on one instance is visible and available on other instances.
We make these services available to all people who do not abuse it in order to promote the values of Free Speech, and those of the United States Constitution First Amendment. A free republic is not possible without free speech and commercial mainstream media do not provide it. We also get some advertisement benefit from hosting these, it is our hope that people who see how fast and responsible our ser
vices are will decide to do hosting or use other paid services here.
There are numerous federated services available, we offer Macrobloging platform Friendica, Hubzilla; Microbloging services Mastodon, Misskey, a federated search engine, Yacy, and a federated cloud service, Nextcloud.
Macrobloging services are message systems that allow long form posts similar in format to Facebook. These allow for works of fiction, poetry, technical papers, news items, short stories, and more. These formats are most useful for discussion of social issues.
Microbloging services allow only short form posts similar in format to Twitter. While you can link to larger articles elsewhere, you have a relatively short character limit and so can not post them directly.
Censorship, is handled much different on the fediverse than on mainstream media like Twitter or Facebook. On the fediverse, each individual instance is responsible for content available on that instance, but does not censor the rest of the network. Thus if you find the rules of one instance too constraining you can move to another.
Federated search engines are analogous to federated message systems in that each instance chooses what portion of the internet it wants to crawl. When you enter a search term, the local instance queries all of the federated instances, collates and sorts the results and presents them to you. As with messages, each instance can have it’s own censorship policies but no one instance can censor the enti
re network.
Given the wild-west nature of the fediverse, it is probably not suitable for children under 14, and you’re guaranteed to find some material that will offend virtually everyone. With federated search engines, material that is inappropriate will usually be flagged sensitive or nsfw (not safe for work) so as long as you don’t expand material marked as such, you can avoid this sort of material. Ther
e are occasionally people who violate these rules, we do our best to remove such individuals none the less some will get through.
We offer the following federated services:
Friendica.Eskimo.Com
Friendica is a decentralized long format macrobloging message network. It is similar in format to facebook however there is no centralized censorship. Also, it is able to federate with all other federated message systems which use ActivityPub protocol and also we have extensions that allow it to speak to several other networks via other protocols.
Hubzilla.Eskimo.Com
Hubzilla is similar in message format to Friendica in that it allows long posts. However, it specializes in it’s ability to provide connectivity to multiple protocols and so we include it in our mix of federated services primarily for the better connectivity it offers. Hubzilla provides a great deal of interoperability between many networks though ActivityPub is still it’s prim
ary protocol. Hubzilla gives you a greater degree of control over privacy than some of the other networks. You can create private channels that are served between hubzilla instances and other compatible instances.
Mastodon.Eskimo.Com
Mastodon is first and foremost an alternative to Twitter. While Twitter has Tweets, Mastodon has Toots. The format is very similar. Mastodon toots have a limit of 500 characters. Similar to the short limit of Twitter. This is why this platform is referred to as a Microbloging format. Mastodon interacts with other ActivityPub instances however when a long form blog post from another i
nstance arrives, you are only shown a short portion with a link to follow to see the full post on the originating site.
NextCloud.Eskimo.Com
Nextcloud If you are a customer of Eskimo North, your login credentials will work without a domain extension to access Nextcloud. If you are not a customer you can apply for a Nextcloud account using your choice of login and password, in this case the login should include your originating network. Some features require an Eskimo North shell account to take full advantage of.
Pixelfed.Eskimo.Com
Pixelfed is a federated pixel gallery. A place where you can share your photos to the widest audience possible, and you can view what others have shared. We now have this site also properly federated so any images you share can be viewed on any other Fediverse site by users who follow you, and you can view images posted by anyone on any fediverse site whom you follow.
Yacy.Eskimo.Com
Yacy is a federated search engine. There are several thousand instances on the Internet. Each instances crawls whatever portion of the web the administrator requested. It is also possible for the administrator of a site with relatively few resources to request a larger site to do crawls on their behalf. Unfortunately, it does not provide a method for an end user to initiate a crawl,
but if you send e-mail to support@eskimo.com and request a crawl, we will initiate a crawl on your behalf.

Shell Accounts
A shell is a command line interface for an operating system. With most shell providers, a command line interface on one flavor of Linux or Unix is all you get. Eskimo North provides access to eight different popular Linux distributions and SunOS Unix. Eskimo North also full remote desktop capabilities using X2Go with sound, and also NX, VNC, and RPD without sound.
Account Types
We offer four different levels of shell accounts: Economy, Standard, Power, and Enterprise. Background tasks such as IRC bots, Game Servers, and the like are permitted on all account types except student. IRC servers are not permitted because of their tendency to draw denial of service attacks. Standard, Power, Enterprise, and Super-Max shells include a MySQL database allowing you to run a variety of LAMP stack based applications on your website and to use non-web based applications that require a database.
Web Hosting
Web hosting under our domain is provided with all shell accounts. You can host your own domains with virtual domains or web hosting packages.
Remote Desktop
Remote desktop capability is like having a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers plugged right into our servers. Because our servers can be accessed anywhere in the world, this allows you to have a work environment you can access from anywhere in the world without risking losing your files to a laptop, tablet, or phone thief. We offer remote desktop capabilities on all of our shell servers except for the SunOS server. We support x2go, nx, vnc, and rdp protocols. X2go is the best choice as it provides extremely efficient compression and X round trip removal as well as sound.
Applications
Applications include Office Suites such as Libre Office and Caligra (which can read and write Microsoft Office file formats), Web and Program Development tools such as Bluefish Editor as well as many other editors, compilers, interpreters, scripting languages, debuggers, profilers, and online documentation.
E-mail
Our e-mail system offers unprecedented flexibility. You can access your mail via shell mail readers including graphical mailers like Thunderbird, or via Web mail, or via pop-3 and imap mail protocols, complete with TLS encryption. Our mail system includes Bayesian filtering with Spam Assassin which can be individually configured for your needs. Procmail allows you to sort and process mail automatically. Smartlist allows you to maintain mailing lists.
Security[color]
Access to all of our servers is available via strong encryption. The shell servers all support ssh access. All of the remote desktop protocols tunnel via ssh. We maintain all of our servers up to date keep with the latest patches. Backups are made weekly.
[color=darkblue]Eskimo North has been providing Unix timeshare services since 1985. We have been providing Linux timeshare, shell access, web hosting, e-mail, and Internet services since 1992. Please take a look at our services as they support our free Federated services including Friendica, Hubzilla, Mastodon, Nextcloud, Pixelfed, and Yacy Search.
We have a variety of Linux Servers with a variety of Linux Distributions and Desktop Environments. Linux servers in use here are of three basic lines, those derived from RedHat, such as Fedora, Centos, and Scientific Linux, and those derived from Debian such as Debian, Ubuntu, and Mint. Ubuntu is the most current and feature rich. Then there is Manjaro, derived from Arch Linux. Arch is more often broken because it is a real “do it yourself” Linux, an excellent learning platform, a good development platform, not a good production platform.
All of these servers are available if you have a shell account here. You can use them to learn various versions, decide which to install, and as one place you can develop applications for all versions. We install a wide variety of development tools on all of our publicly available servers.
Our servers listen to port 443 in addition to the standard ssh port of 22 to provide a means to connect from behind a firewall that blocks non-web access. You can also utilize Guacamole on our website (login public, password public).
Alma.Eskimo.Com
This server is running Alma 8. Alma Linux replaces Scientific Linux after it’s discontinuation. Presently we are running Alma 8 because Alma 9 does not support NIS out of the box although there are ways of hacking it in. It is unfortunate that Redhat chose to piss on the infrastructure so many organizations depend upon. This is why we tend to favor Debian derived flavors. None the less as Redhat derived software goes Alma is pretty solid.
Anduinos.Eskimo.Com
Anduinos is a Debian derived distribution that defaults to a Gnome Desktop themed to look like Windows 10. At present though this Desktop is not working over network connections, instead Mate and Gnome are presently available. I am working on some others.
Debian.Eskimo.Com
Debian Bullseye has a rich assortment of software installed, including hundreds of Games, a huge variety of Office Productivity software, many Educational and Scientific applications, a variety of Integrated Development Environments, and many programming languages. All of the documentation available online these applications is also loaded.
Fedora.Eskimo.Com
Fedora Rawhide can be accessed graphically using x2go and the Mate desktop. It has the most applications of any of the Redhat derived servers. I install just about everything I can get to work on this machine so it has a huge variety of applications installed.
Kali.Eskimo.Com
Kali is a special purpose shell server designed for penetration testing. It is primarily here to test our own internal security, and as a result, egress is extremely limited, however upon request, proof of IP space ownership, and permission of the owner and agreement to hold us harmless because it is possible some of these tests may be destructive, we will allow outbound for testing of other sites.
Manjaro.Eskimo.Com
Manjaro is a good choice for a Linux user who wants to just install and go. There is a pleasant user interface and a good choice of software in the Manjaro repositories. It is a less technical Linux than Ubuntu, you can do most things through graphical interfaces and the default xfce interface is extremely light in terms of memory footprint. Like most modern distros, a variety of Windows systems are available and we have Gnome, Mate, KDE, Xfce, LXDE, and LXQT installed.
Mint.Eskimo.Com
Mint is another recent addition to our shell servers. It is running Mint, although we have the Mate Desktop installed for graphical access. This is necessary because Unity and other compositing Desktops are incompatible with x2go and really work very roughly with VNC. If you like games, this is a good server to use and there are many installed. Mint is a derivative of Ubuntu which in turn is derived from Debian and this server thus follows the structure and layout of Debian and Ubuntu.
MxLinux.Eskimo.Com
MxLinux is an excellent choice for a computer with limited resources. Before the overhead of a Desktop is considered, MxLinux uses 200MB less RAM out of the box than does Ubuntu. If you’re not a fan of Poettering and Systemd, you’ll like this OS as it still uses a System-V init with Systemd shims to allow packages requiring systemd to function. You can also run systemd and in fact I am doing so because it boots faster. The default Desktop is LXDE which is also small and efficient. But if you like eye candy you can install any Desktop you like and as with other servers I will install all that I can get to work on this OS.
PopOS.Eskimo.Com
popOS is a modern appearing OS based upon Ubuntu, and not just indirectly, it actually utilizes Ubuntu’s repositories in addition to it’s own. The Desktops presently available on it are Gnome and Mate, though Gnome is a special edition known as Sparkle, and it does not operate properly with X2go. Presently X2go and ssh are the only two access methods. I am working on the others.
Rocky8.Eskimo.Com
Rocky8 is a RedHat derived operating system very similar to Centos before Centos was absorbed, and ruined, by Redhat. While Centos support, with the exception of Centos9 is going away on June 30th, 2024, and CentOS9 is not usable because of the deletion of NIS by RedRat which is necessary to our organization, Rocky8 will be supported for security updates through May of 2029, thus provides us a means of continuing to offer a Redhat based environment for another five years.
Ubuntu.Eskimo.Com
Ubuntu can be accessed graphically using x2go and the Mate Desktop. The native Unity desktop is a compositing desktop which is incompatible with x2go. This machine is equipped with many applications including a huge number of games, a rich assortment of development tools and computer programming languages, a huge assortment of Office productivity software, many scientific, electronic, and educational tools. This server also has open post quantum encryption compiled into openssl 3.6 available for your use.
Zorin.Eskimo.Com
Zorin is a Ubuntu derived operating system. It combines the eye candy of some other Ubuntu flavors such as Mint, with the security awareness and up to date nature of Ubuntu providing a really superb server environment. This machine is our best equipped server. It has the full Ubuntu Studio Suite, a very large assortment of development tools, language packs for all supported languages, many games, both Libre and Caligra Office Suites, and much more. X2go is supported on this machine.
Crontab access, batch, and background jobs are allowed on all of our servers. Most have unrestricted outbound access with the exception of kali owing to high abuse potential for tools that exist on it.'
We also offer web hosting, e-mail, and virtual private servers.

The transformation of waste plastic into naphtha is a process defined by intricate molecular reconfiguration. At the heart of this conversion lies pyrolysis—a thermochemical reaction facilitated in an oxygen-deprived environment. Within a pyrolysis plant, polymers originally designed for durability and resistance undergo a fundamental decomposition, reverting to simpler hydrocarbon forms suitable for reintegration into the petrochemical value chain.
Most post-consumer plastic waste comprises thermoplastics such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene (PS). These polymers are characterized by long, saturated hydrocarbon chains with high molecular weights and strong covalent bonds. When subjected to plastic pyrolysis machine, typically between 400°C and 600°C, these macromolecules fragment into smaller hydrocarbon compounds via random scission, β-scission, and depolymerization reactions.
The absence of oxygen prevents combustion and facilitates controlled bond cleavage. The result is the formation of volatile hydrocarbons, which exit the reactor in vapor phase. The extent of chain breakdown depends heavily on residence time, temperature profile, and feedstock consistency.
As thermal cracking progresses, intermediate compounds such as alkanes, alkenes, and aromatic rings are generated. The molecular weight distribution spans a broad spectrum—from C5-C12 fractions to heavier waxes and gas-phase C1-C4 alkanes.
Polystyrene, for instance, primarily decomposes into styrene monomers and aromatic derivatives due to its phenyl-rich structure. Polyethylene and polypropylene, on the other hand, yield a wider variety of linear and branched hydrocarbons, owing to their aliphatic backbone. These intermediates are the precursors to the final liquid products, which can include fuel oil, wax, and most notably, naphtha.
Once vaporized, the hydrocarbon stream must be condensed and fractionally distilled. This step occurs downstream of the pyrolysis reactor in the condensation and separation units of the plastic into fuel machine. By controlling cooling rates and column configurations, operators can isolate naphtha-range compounds—typically C5 to C11 hydrocarbons with boiling points between 30°C and 200°C.
The recovered naphtha exhibits similar properties to fossil-derived light naphtha and can be further refined or directly used as a petrochemical feedstock, particularly in steam crackers to produce ethylene and propylene.
Plastic-derived naphtha is predominantly paraffinic but may contain varying levels of olefins, isoparaffins, and aromatics, depending on process parameters and input resin type. Its hydrogen-to-carbon (H/C) ratio, viscosity, and sulfur content are critical for downstream integration.
To meet the stringent quality demands of refineries or petrochemical plants, further hydrotreatment may be required. This step removes unsaturates and stabilizes the naphtha, reducing gum formation and enhancing storage characteristics.
Advanced pyrolysis plants integrate catalytic reactors to enhance product specificity and quality. Zeolite-based catalysts, for example, promote selective cracking, favoring the formation of naphtha-range molecules while minimizing heavy tar formation.
Catalytic systems not only lower the required activation energy but also improve the control over isomerization and aromatization reactions. This results in a more consistent naphtha yield with a tighter carbon number distribution and fewer contaminants.
By reverting complex polymer chains to their hydrocarbon origins, pyrolysis enables true molecular circularity. Plastic, once destined for landfill or incineration, is molecularly deconstructed and reincarnated as a feedstock for new polymers, synthetic fuels, or solvents.
This closed-loop process not only diverts waste from the environment but also reduces dependence on virgin fossil inputs. The deployment of a pyrolysis plant thus bridges the gap between environmental responsibility and petrochemical demand, turning plastic waste into a resource with strategic industrial value.
Plastic pyrolysis plant is used to process various waste plastics. Nowadays, waste plastics are increasingly harmful to the environment.Beston Group

Quoting Rogel Alpher on Israel’s plans to establish a “humanitarian city” in Gaza:
[…] They say – don’t say Nazis, don’t make comparisons. It’s no longer shocking. It’s clear to me that from my current position on the margins of Israeli society, I can only be shocked, not shock others. Most Israelis don’t see a connection between obsessive education about concentration camps from the Holocaust era and establishing a concentration camp for another people under brutal Israeli military control. What can even be done in the face of this tragic pathology?
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced plans to establish what he termed a “humanitarian city” in Gaza to house the entire population of over 2 million people. Katz clarified that there would be no exit from the camp while promising an “emigration program” would be implemented.
Alpher acknowledges this is actually a concentration camp - a fenced compound of tents where the only way out would be through emigration from Gaza entirely - a moral horror that facilitates forced displacement and ethnic cleansing, noting the tragic irony that Israelis who were educated about #Holocaust now support creating concentration camps for another people under Israeli military control.

Israeli journalist Arad Nir faced backlash after describing the Israeli-planned “city of refuge” 🙄 in #Rafah for Gazans as a "concentration camp". He later apologized on social media, clarifying his intent was to criticize the plan as immoral rather than to offend. Other broadcasters present during the original remarks suggested the comparison was inappropriate and historically insensitive.

What’s really disgusting here is the fact that Israeli media now refers to the proposed Rafah concentration camp as a “city of refuge”, a facility being built to shelter and provide food to Palestinians whom they intend to isolate from Hamas. Interestingly, the same people who up until recently claimed that “there are no uninvolved” in Gaza... Gaza has been a concentration camp with severely limited food supply for the past two decades, since Israel withdrew and imposed a relentless blockade. The blockade has created a cycle of poverty and dependence on the underground tunnel economy, which Israel then used against the Palestinians after October.

• Fixed regression: Since we switched the h() render function to return a generator (for seamless async support in html templates), two other methods that were calling h() directly – `kitten.safelyAddHtml()` and `kitten.js()` – had begun to fail. This was also affecting the fetchiverse, streamiverse, and kitten-chat family of examples.
Enjoy!

Socially-acceptable forms of social change entail:
1) Refusing to question structures of power, leaving them exactly as they are
2) Asking those with power within those structures to behave a certain way.
3) When that fails, then adhering to the (rigged) rules of the game, to try to acquire official power oneself, which is costly, time-consuming, and likely to fail.
That's it. And given the fascism of the 2020s, those forms of social change will fail.
So there are two ways forward:
Colonialism 3.0, where we try to patch the whole thing together yet again.
Or we could actually build a new system which emerges from the wreckage of the old, which pulls people and resources in, electively, as nation states fail further.
This, however, would require imagination and a historical and anthropological lens on how humans could organize themselves, and how they have organized themselves.

Es kann aber auch sein, dass es ein Problem beim Löschen gibt. Stichwort: foreign key constraints - dann siehst du aber entsprechende "DB error" Meldungen im Log.

Musst du was manuell in 'post-engagement' löschen. Ist nicht ganz trivial rauszufinden, was genau.
Grundsätzlich betrifft es die id 5468731 in der Tabelle contact. Dieser Datensatz kann nicht gelöscht werden, weil er noch eine Referenz in post-engagement hat.
Ohne jetzt nachgesehen zu haben, hat wahrscheinlich der 'contact' mit id 5468731 auch eine owner-id. Die musst du per SELECT ... FROM contact WHERE ... rausfinden. Diese owner-id müsste sich auch in der Tabelle 'post-engagement' wiederfinden lassen.
Dann musst du erst in post-engagement die Datensätze löschen, die diese owner-id haben. Dann löst sich der Rest von selbst.
Das Ganze ohne Garantie. Bitte doppelt prüfen, ob du auch den richtigen Zusammenhang zwischen beiden Tabellen erwischst, sonst löscht du was falsches. 😀

Starting a small business or startup means facing a barrage of costs—rent, supplies, marketing, and more. A website is a must, but it doesn’t have to break the bank. With the right strategy, you can get online quickly and affordably.
Affordable web design is a smart choice for new entrepreneurs. You don’t need a custom, high-end site to establish your presence. A cheap website, built with focus, can connect you with customers and keep your budget in check.
A low-cost website needs to hit a few key points. It should work seamlessly on mobile, load fast, and clearly communicate what your business offers and how people can reach you.
Custom web design is pricey and often unnecessary for new businesses. Platforms like WordPress, Shopify, or Wix offer templates that are modern, responsive, and easy to customize. They’re a key part of affordable web design.
With your logo, images, and text, a template can feel unique without the custom cost. Plus, you can launch in days, not weeks, which is crucial when you’re starting out.
When your budget is tight, prioritize what your site needs most. A booking tool? A product catalog? Or just a homepage with contact info? Many startups overspend on features they don’t need yet, thinking it’ll drive growth.
Build a minimal site with only the essentials. It’s cheaper to maintain and easier to manage. You can add more features later when your business grows.
Some designers offer affordable web design that’s high quality, while others might deliver rushed work. Check their portfolio—look at their standard projects, not just the best ones. Ask what’s included and if they’ve built sites for businesses like yours.
Be upfront about your budget. A reliable designer will work within your limits and be transparent about costs. If a deal seems too cheap, ask questions to avoid surprises.
You don’t need premium hosting for a small site. Basic plans from trusted providers cost under $10 a month and handle most startup needs. For domains, pick something simple—your brand name with a .com or .co—and avoid pricey alternatives.
Using one platform for hosting and your domain simplifies management, especially if you’re not tech-savvy.
A beautiful design won’t help if your message is unclear. A cheap website needs clear, engaging text to explain what you do, who you serve, and how to connect with you. Spend time—or a small budget—on writing that resonates.
If writing isn’t your strength, a freelance copywriter can make a big difference. It’s a better investment than extra design tweaks.
You don’t need to spend thousands to get online. A cheap website that’s mobile-friendly, fast, and clear can do the job just fine. Focus on the basics now and upgrade as your business grows.
Affordable web design lets you launch a site that works without financial stress. Get online today and start building your brand.

It's occurred to me that the only real application, in theory, for blockchain-enforced "smart contracts" would be something like international security guarantees.
For instance, if you want a Palestinian state to agree to be demilitarised, sure, if there's a system such that an attack by Israel would ⋅immediately and automatically⋅ trigger a comprehensive sanction regime, stop all international bank transfers in and out of Israel, invalidate all trade licences, etc.
Apart from political feasibility, it's not practical, of course. What ⋅exactly⋅ would be the triggers? Who gets to decide whether and when to roll back? Besides, whatever anyone tries to tell you, blockchain's are NOT safe from manipulation, even in principle, especially when we are talking about state actors.
Just in terms of if there WERE a use case, that's what it would be.
This was not a proposal. We can flush all "blockchain technology” down the toilet today and lose nothing, as far as I'm concerned.
I was trying to work with the premise of people who try to make the case for "smart contracts" (that are predicated on a system where, yes, certain actions are algorithmically ⋅enforced⋅) to see what might conceivably be a valid use case at least in theory.
In other words: the fundamental premise of "smart contracts" is that there are situations where you need an agreement between parties who you cannot ask to trust each other, so they can instead trust the algorithm. And I was just noting that asking a Palestinian state to be demilitarised fits that description. But since, as you correctly note and I also pointed out, it wouldn't work even then, that just shows that actually there is no use case.
