They have been reluctant to give up their homeland, you mean. Yes, resistance to occupation and genocide is usually to some extent violent, because the occupier is extremely violent to begin with.

Sharing the land with another group of people who are also from the region would not be "giving up their homeland".

Sharing the land with european colonists that used terrorism and ethnic cleansing to remove and to a lesser extent subjugate the native population? Why would they?

If you're suggesting that a peoples' right to live in their homeland is forfeited as a result of immigration, terrorism or ethnic cleansing, that would be bad news for Palestinians. Gaza and WB Area A are Jew-free zones, and there were around 30k rocket attacks from Gaza alone.

Would you please stop posting flamebait and perpetuating flamewars? You've been doing this a ton lately and your account is crossing over the line (https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...). We've repeatedly asked you to fix this and your latest run has been one of the worst. That's not good.

A: it looks like this article is no more than an ad B: Oh noes, it can't be, they have specific policy against that! A: That policy actually does not have anything about this. B: Ah, that's because they are so ethical that they didn't even think to mention this in their policy! Sure, this sounds extremely convincing. (and of course, nobody ever ignored or tiptoed around a written policy, ever)

I think an important piece of media literacy is being able to tell if a publication is likely to follow journalistic ethics or not. SF Standard pass that test for me.

What is the value of this piece? Who benefits from people reading it?

You are the one who proposed birth estimates and casualty claims suggest population increased. How do you think population estimates work? There is no census scheduled for 2027. Gaza (much like Israel) does not conduct full censuses on a regular schedule. Neither Gaza nor Israel have scheduled their next full census at this time. The most recent census for Gaza was 2017 (for comparison Israel's most recent was 2008).…

> There is no census scheduled for 2027 2027 is the expectation, since it's supposed to be at least every ten years. > Numbers of deaths aren't being estimated from WhatApp chats. Unfortunately they are. [1] was based on messages in "X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Telegram". An example of content they scraped is [2], but they also included non-public chats in WhatsApp etc. > The most widely…

I recommend you actually read the first source you cited.

Palestinians rejected the UN offer of their own country and tried and failed to destroy Israel. That is pretty violent.

They have been reluctant to give up their homeland, you mean. Yes, resistance to occupation and genocide is usually to some extent violent, because the occupier is extremely violent to begin with.

They never actually had sovereign control over the land. It was controlled by Romans and then by the Turks and then by the British and when the British left it was basically up for grabs.
