  ...make a demo about it...

  
  I am not a Platon, i.e., I do not have the knowledge and talent to
  create such technically well-made demos. But even if I had the skills
  I would be reluctant to deal with political / historical topics in a demo
  since I (personally) would always be afraid of that I might have
  missed, misunderstood or left out an important and crucial point -
  regardless of how much I read up. Call me a coward :-)

  ...as long as it doesn't imply there is an equivalence between an atrocity...

  
  I thought about it and somewhow I don't feel comfortable. To me it
  sounds a bit like it is more tolerable and less bad if atrocities are
  committed by terrorists. I would prefer to say if a state is commiting
  those crimes then the state is not any better than the terrorists.

  ...to water it down...

  
  I understand what you mean. But still I (personally) have problems
  and do not want to separate the one from the other (see also bsp's
  comment, 2024-01-22 00:08:43). My (imaginery) demo would have
  had a split screen showing the murdering, killing, and suffering of
  both sides. But with that, I guess, the statement would be a slightly
  other one than in "is real".

  The best chance for peace came to a sudden end when Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated...

  
  I fully agree with that.
  
  Final words:
  It was very interesting and informative to read through the
  comments and to discuss with you. Made me thinking. Peace.

  It's not about a conflict in the past

  
  Thanks for pointing this out. I know. And you are right, most of my
  thoughts were not strictly demo-related and rather a (superficial)
  pondering about the conflict in general. But what I wanted to say
  and is important to me was:
  
  
  Quote:

  One must not forget what preceded and led to the current outrage.

  
  And with that I mean what happened on 7 October 2023. These
  victims should not be forgotten.

• I am not an intellectual nor I am a historian and on top that I have
  difficulties to express my thoughts but despite all of those
  shortcomings I would like to leave a comment:
  
  One must not forget what preceded and led to the current outrage.
  Atrocity, hatred, and innocent victims can be found on both sides. I
  reckon the majority is sick of this everlasting conflict but a minority
  of radicals and fundamentalists seems to be sufficient to fuel and
  keep the vicious circle going. The parties have to recognize that the
  "opponent(s)" will not disappear and - easier said than done - the
  past and hatchet has to be buried and a compromise must be found
  (the whole thing is awry and conflict-laden right from the
  beginning). But i) as long as the Palestinians are not respected and
  no agreement on an own state will be found (there have been
  negotiations and offers over the last decades but all of them were
  turned down by the Palestinian leadership if I am not mistaken) and
  ii) as long as the terroristic attacks on Israel will continue and the
  eradication of Israel is on the agenda of certain groups, I really do
  not see a change for the better.
  
  Thoughts of a back-seat driver. Thanks for your attention. Amen.

• 40k Amiga OCS/ECS Desire FM by Desire [web]
• What, no one has commented on the sphere yet? It rocks like the other
  parts of this "I have to rub my eyes and look twice! Is this really
  OCS?" demo; it feels more like OCS++ :-)
  And all of that in just 40k. Thanks a lot for this impressive and exciting
  release. I like!!!
• rulezadded on the 2024-01-24 10:15:53
• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Ordo
• That is a very, very nice and different first release - also noteworthy it is
  a one-man show. I really do like the gfx (in particular the bears) and
  how it is being presented. Definitely more than a slideshow. I like :-)

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Hot Dots by Coma
• I can recall this one because it looked so much better and mature than
  the previous releases. Never heard of the coder Jackie D. before, but I
  really got impressed with his nice and swift dot effects. Moreover, it was
  the first time I got aware of Virgill's work :-)

• demotool Windows AmigAtari Bitmap Converter by Oxygene [web]
• Only had a quick look at github so far. Looks like a versatile and helpful
  tool; thanks a lot for sharing! Do I see it right that it is also capable of
  converting HAM images to 12bit true color data ($0RGB.w)?
• rulezadded on the 2024-01-01 15:06:56
• demo Atari ST Dotummin Vitsei by Extream
• Nice. Can the dots also change their ypos? The number of >8000
  makes me think of TLB's Punish-Your-Machine-Reset-Screen. Hello
  to the ex-Schoofmoor comrade Mr. Inflagranti (=Oxygene) wherever
  he may roam.

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Blitter Pine by Quackers
• I like what I see but what struck me - as being a cloning expert?! - is
  that this release pretty much resembles Green Ground by
  Spreadpoint. Very interesting. Pure coincidence? Would have been
  funny if the Quackers had called their release "Blue Ground" (or
  Spreadpoint theirs "Blitter Fir") ;-)

• intro Amiga OCS/ECS Green Ground by Spreadpoint [web]
• Never seen this beauty before. The scroller is really nice for 1989(?) and
  so much green (-> my favorite color). Conclusion: I like :-)
