Ben-Gvir wil 30 tot 40 Palestijnen per nacht doden. Het maakt niet uit of die Palestijnen een bedreiging vormen of niet. "Het zijn niet eens mensen".
Waar kennen we dat toch van, ontmenselijken van een bevolkingsgroep, hen het recht om te leven ontzeggen, ingeplande vernietiging van mensenlevens?
Juist ja, van Hitler en zijn holocaust.

Can someone enlighten me as to why multi-port ganged SMPM connectors are so expensive per port vs single-port ones?
e.g. Amphenol SV Microwave 9311-00071 is 8 ports for $286 (digikey qty 1) while Amphenol RF 925-197J-51PT is $6.85 for 1 port and $58.20 for ten of them. It takes up a little bit more space, but $46 vs $286 for 8 ports is a huge cost increase
