Toye is Middle English for Toy, and Tey is Old English for a length of rope.

2 AnswersPsychology10 years agowhy does people confuse Capitalism with State Capitalism?
People always confuse Pure Capitalism aka Capitalism With State Capitalism aka Socialistic Capitalism.
(n) capitalism, capitalist economy (an economic system based on private ownership of capital)
(n) state capitalism (an economic system that is primarily capitalistic but there is some degree of government ownership of the means of production)
(n) state socialism (an economic system in which the government owns most means of production but some degree of private capitalism is allowed)
(n) socialism, socialist economy (an economic system based on state ownership of capital)
(n) individualism, laissez faire (the doctrine that government should not interfere in commercial affairs)
(n) Keynesianism (the economic theories of John Maynard Keynes who advocated government monetary and fiscal programs intended to stimulate business activity and increase employment)
(n) collectivism (a political theory that the people should own the means of production)
Capitalism is Individualism
Socialism is Collectivism
State Capitalism/Socialism is Keynesian Economics
Monopolies is Keynesian
Bail Outs is Keynesian
Government involvement in the economy period is Keynesian; discounting socialism.
So why does people contribute Keynesian economics to "Pure Capitalism", when really it's "State Capitalism", and combines socialistic principles with Capitalist principles?
2 AnswersGovernment10 years agoWhy do people harass Israel, but not the other countries?
As a result of the 1st World War, The Ottoman Empire, had to Give up Ottoman Syria.
Ottoman Syria was split in 3.
1.) Turkey
2.) The French Mandate for Syria
3.) The British Mandate for Palestine.
Today there are now 7 countries where Ottoman Syria use to be.
1.) Israel
2.) Palestinian Territories
3.) Syria
4.) Lebanon
5.) Jordan
6.) Turkey
7.) Iraq
Today there are now 3 countries where the French Mandate for Syria use to be.
1.) Syria
2.) Lebanon
3.) Turkey
Today there are now 5 countries where the British Mandate for Palestine use to be.
1.) Israel
2.) Jordan
3.) Palestinian territories
4.) Saudi Arabia
5.) Iraq
according to the Preamble of the British mandate for Palestine;
"Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have also agreed that the Mandatory should be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 2nd, 1917, by the Government of His Britannic Majesty, and adopted by the said Powers, in favour of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing should be done which might prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country"
in other words Palestine was formed for the purpose of creating a Jewish state.
So why do people harass Israel, and not the other countries formed from the British Mandate for Palestine? Or even the Other Countries where Ottoman Syria use to be?
