I see people saying this story doesn't belong on HN. genuine question, if this story were about a german national would it be considered as political? is palestinian existence inherently more political than other peoples' existence?

#102It’s hard not to wonder whether better technology could someday help stop tragedies like this.
Well, right now the "better technology" is Israel's use of the "Lavender" AI to designate people to kill because they are "likely" to be hamas supporters.
And yes, probably they could have used better technology to realize that people in the car are not a danger to them. But that would immply they actually want to avoid killing civilians instead of looking for any excuse to shoot them.

Every time these sorts of articles get posted people that express a differing opinion from the standard get flagged (making it so you can't read their post at all) pretty quickly making it seem more like the intention isn't to start discussion. It seems like it's gotten to the point that the people that just get flagged into oblivion stopped trying to post.

The Holocaust was built on IBM, the genocide in Gaza is built on Azure. Technology won't be on the side of stopping these tragedies.

This isn't a war, though. This is an extermination. This is an army with effectively limitless power against unarmed civilians.

> Only relevant because the conflict is often portrayed in terms of European Colonialism or US race dynamics.
What do you want to tell with this? That there are no race dynamics because some people have a lighter skin color?
No "Judeo-Christian civilization", no "Villa in the Jungle", no "Light unto the nations", nope...

> largely unverifiable story there’s literally pictures in the article of the bodies
A photo of some people being buried doesn't confirm or deny the validity of the claim as to how they were killed. I have no dog in this fight, but sources actually provide evidence.
This is a journalistic article that does provide multiple sources of evidence - including multiple sources of eyewitness testimony, the facts of what happened to the car/damage to the bodies, what the IDF says happened, and the non-response by the IDF to the evidence presented here - what other evidence could possibly meet your bar here?
This doesn't seem like a good faith discussion by people that informed themselves on what this piece is saying, so I'm bowing out. Have a good one.
