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?

Arabs moved there from elsewhere also.

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?

It's clearly access journalism - the Replit press team set this up, and the SF Standard took the opportunity.

For Replit it's a good way to raise the profile of their founder, important for this phase of the company.

The SF Standard get an interesting profile out if this because Masad is an unconventional shape of founder. The Palestinian angle is a great hook to build a story around, especially right now. The Standard's editorial brand involves presenting tech stories from their own unique angle which makes this a good fit for them.

This is their best performing story on HN in a long time, so it clearly resonated with an audience that they presumably want to reach: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=sfstandard.com

In your opinion, if an American converts to Judaism, at what point does America cease to become their homeland?

One can similarly become Palestinian by immigrating to Palestine (and "fitting in", which involves speaking Arabic etc). Arafat was born in Egypt, for example.

Does this refute the notion that Palestinians are from Palestine? I would say no. Similarly Jews are from Judea, despite the existence of a small number of converts with "impure" lineage.

I recommend you actually read the first source you cited.

I did, can you just spell out what you're trying to say?

I accept US responsibility for a great many of the civilian deaths caused in Vietnam. I don't accept US responsibility for Islamists of different varieties blowing up each other's markets and places of worship with weapons provided by Iran and Syria.

Hey, get with the times. Whitewashing jihadis is in vogue these days.

You might be into that. The rest of us like to analyse things honestly, especially given America is going down the route of making the same moves as history. If you don't see that, then it'd probably be better for you to go read something than to offer pithy comments on here.

The explicit goal of Hamas is the ethnic cleansing of Israel of all Jews.

No, it is not. Here's Ahmed Yassin on the issue:

He was assassinated by the israelis, who were actually doing ethnic cleansing for decades before that.

It's weird how you care more about some future atrocity you fantasise about than actual atrocities.
