From what I’ve understood, there’s a difference between rolling backwards, forwards, or stepping off in a big leap.
Rolling forwards off the boat will accelerate your tank in the direction of your head. As your Buoyancy Control Device (the vest you wear) is never as tight that it could keep the tank in check, it will hit your head as soon as you complete your roll.
Stepping out from the boat is completely reasonable thing to do, as long as you take a big step and the landing area below is clear. Some diving boats have special planks so the risk of hitting the boat is minimal in high waves, but you can also do it from the swimming platform. The only important thing is to hold on to your mask and look towards the horizon. This will ensure you don’t roll forward but enter the water straight as a candle.

Currently, there is a Palestinian executive under full control in the so-called A zones there. That could be considered as part of a internationally recognised Palestinian state, although very small in size.
Under Oslo, the B and C zones are also belonging to the Palestinians, but these are illegally contested by Israeli settlements and the fact that they are controlled by the Israeli military.

Next they could start boycotting you for punishing them. Or maybe their tariff contract may also cover this as legal strike action.
I’ll raise that by the time I left my car window open for 4 days in a semi big German town. After police couldn’t get ahold of me, a neighbour covered it himself with plastic so the inside wouldn’t get wet.

Securing the public space is foremost reserved for police forces for a specific reason. Placing soldier in the streets creates a dynamic that implies the citizen may be the enemy, which I feel is highly counterproductive and may lead to american circumstances.

It always cements for me that it is never about what the hair actually looks like esthetically, but that it is a predominantly “black” haircut, like an Afro or tight curls.

I always found the thought alone scary. Imagine losing one year of your life locked up. Everything around you would just ‘move past’ while you’re caged in. Now imagine eight years of your past life and how much happened in that time and what you would have missed.
I don’t think any country should have lifelong (timely unlimited) sentences, they’re incredibly cruel, maybe worse than death.

While this meme/picture is definitely exaggerated, the expansion of Israel far beyond its current borders is a political position held by members of the current government. It originates from early Zionist militias that aspired to capture these widespread borders.
It even caused an international incident some time ago. https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-seeks-to-calm-waters-with-jordan-after-racist-extremist-speech-by-smotrich/
