Since you have been competing have you tried switching back to an omnivorous diet as a test to see how your performance changed?

Blaming insulin is like blaming the cement for breaking your nose when I trip you on a sidewalk.

Israel is the greatest impediment – it literally holds all the power in the dynamic, and continues to refuse to engage in negotiations because it knows that offering any measure of sovereignty to Palestine will prevent the construction of future settlements

Except they negotiated for over a decade and the Palestinians didn't agree to anything even when parts of Jerusalem were offered. And Israel already offered sovereignty to Palestine and the West Bank and Gaza formed the Palestinian state and held elections. But they kept sending suicide bombers anyway so Israel built a wall to protect itself. And as crappy as the settlements are Israel has shown itself willing to remove Israelis from settlements to accord with peace negotiations.

Is Hamas' charter justified in calling for the murder of Jews? Certainly not. But is it understandable given the fact that Palestinians have essentially been under a 70-year occupation by an ethno-state? I think so. Besides, since 2017 Hamas' charter has openly stated their willingness to find a two-state solution. When you're denied basic human rights and your own sovereignty, is it surprising that people turn to extremism? That's not an endorsement of Hamas' violence, but acting as though the Palestinian perspective is completely unreasonable is deeply dishonest and dehumanizing.

So you think having a goal to completely wipe out a people is reasonable? Israel at least works with the PLO so you know there is understanding and willingness to work with people who haven't had a charter dedicated to killing all Israelis for decades.
