Yep - really silly - as the name was applied in 1927. Since then, however: "After the 1948 war, most of the Palestinian Arab-owned orange groves were taken over by the new Israeli state. The orange-growing industry was presented as a 'pioneering Labor-movement project which was 'void of any Arab presence'. ...In the 1950s and 1960s, Jaffa oranges became emblems of the Israeli state."

So, how about that new movie Top Gun: Maverick?

(We are discussing the movie.)

(The role of the military industrial complex is important, as is the concern that this may be a superfluous matter - albeit not - and the irony that there are many who will claim that this is superfluous while not noticing that they've been duped into thinking that the matter is superfluous. In short: many do not understand that they've been duped by a military or a BigCorp narrative, and the reviewer also thinks that this is not in the movie, whereas it certainly is, though not in a way he expects.)

A moment ago it was Israel.

It's really weird, it's like multiple posters are coordinating behind the scenes to derail the conversation here.

1st I read that the relevance of comments seems to escape you

Then I read an example of paranoid schizophrenia

What's next, I wonder....

    The role of the military industrial complex is important,

    Yes, but can I not just enjoy reliving my childhood dreams of being a badass fighter pilot? Thats all Top Gun was to me as a kid
