Topic: Israel Bitcoin Conference July 28-29, 2014 - page 2. (Read 6899 times)

I'll admit no such thing. We do business in Tel Aviv and Israel just like everywhere else.

We've also had many Bitcoiners travel here (see for example some guest lectures we've had) and they always love it here.

It is usually very safe here. True, once in a while we have more troubled times, like now - but even then it shouldn't be blown out of proportion, the risk isn't bigger than what you're taking when driving a car. And of course, the fact of the matter is that people do have conferences and all kinds of other business here.

The airport wasn't closed - flights are still allowed (and encouraged) from our side, and I do believe many flights are still happening.

Now that this thread is about kittens, I'll allow myself to join the mudfight.

There are facts and there is propaganda. It's usually pretty clear which is which. The facts are:

1. The status quo is that the Palestinian leadership is using the available funding for combat measures rather than building civilian infrastructure, causing their population to live in terrible conditions.
2. Hamas has, without provocation, abducted and murdered 3 teenagers.
3. We've retaliated to clarify this is unacceptable. Hamas is deliberately putting civilians at risk during these attacks.
4. We're constantly seeking a truce, and Hamas constantly rejects it.
5. We're handling everything with velvet gloves. Our restraint is the paragon of countries everywhere. If someone did to the US what the Hamas does to us, they'd be crushed into little cubes.

Could we do the Jesus thing and turn the other cheek? Maybe... But there is such a thing as being too nice.

Are you fucking crazy?  Those Hamas assholes killed 3 teenagers.  I don't care how fucking much you don't like Israel, there is going to be a serious backlash when you decide to take lives like that.  I say, let the Jews open fire on the sons of bitches.  Everyone has a right to defend themselves - even if you don't like Jews, they sure the fuck don't have to stand by and take that shit from Gaza.  Time to bulldoze all of Gaza.  The place is a nothing more than a raging hell hole dump anyway.

That would be a dream...carpet bomb all of Gaza once and for all! Maybe Israelis could live without constant terror for a little while.

No 3 teenagers were killed thats false info. And even if they were bombing and killing 1000 because of that is what only a retard state can do and thats israhell. They live on american aid and waste american citizens hard earned tax money on bombs and weapons.

I know right. Heres the link http://www.middleeastmonitor.com/news/europe/11451-sweden-refuses-israeli-presidents-plane-entry-into-its-airspace

It makes sense the airport was closed for a while because of the rocket strikes and right now a war is pretty much going on
Another time

Link!? that's pretty cool

woohooo

Thank God it cancelled Israhell is a bloody war zone which of course they themselves have turned into a living hell by attacking innocent civilians with rockets and what not. what you reap is what you sow and isahell will never be able to become a state acceptable by anyone. The funny thing is today Swedish government did not let the president of israhell fly by Sweden or even use there airspace as the israelis are scums.

sorry to hear about it Meni - but you've got to admit, you're a fucking wierdo trying to hold such an event in a war zone.  TelAviv just isn't suitable for business.  That's a fact.  Won't be for another 50 years.  If you guys don't smash every last one of those Palestinians, they are going to come back at you like cockroaches over and over again.  Maybe move to TelAviv West (Manhattan)?  At least they haven't had a serious attack in 12 years.

Regrettably, the conference has been postponed. As of yesterday I still believed we were able to make a great conference despite the situation, but the developments today with regards to flights, and the resulting cancellations, pretty much put the final nail in the coffin.

The official announcement is at http://bitcoin.org.il/files/Israel%20Bitcoin%20Conference%20Cancellation%20Notice.pdf.

I am truly sorry it turned out this way despite my earlier outspoken optimism.

Lots of people are engaged into Bitcoin for sociopolitical reasons (Who's funding Israel (and its colonization process) other than the US Dollar?). So don't be surprised to find other people "polluting" your little toy with menial considerations like that.

You people have turned a Bitcoin conference announcement into a sociopolitical religious debate! Seriously? Seriously?

yea.. and then there is this;
go ahead, call them anti-Semites! go ahead!

Greetings fellow conciencious objectors !

Here is a prime example of how bias and dishonest the lamestream zionist run media is.

I'm a human against occupation.

Jewish identity is related to one's maternal relations. Meaning if your wife is jewish, your children are jewish.

Obviously Einstein didn't really say that. See for example http://skepticaesoterica.com/debunking-fake-albert-einstein-quotes/. Everyone loves to put words in his mouth, without any sort of reliable source, to gain credibility.

Anyway, you are all entitled to your own political agenda (even if a bogus one), but please leave Bitcoin out of it. Bitcoin transcends all this senseless hatred.

If your mother is Jewish, then you are Jewish.

I am sure both sides of the conflict give a shit about you or any 'activist' or 'supporters' bleeting from the comfort of the 1st world living room.

HAHA you can't make this shit up. Check yourselves you are getting embarrassing.

We should not ban anyone. I'm just not going to support
