... and the problem is? The US is supporting Israel and supplying it with weapons. Neither Presidential candidate has any intention of changing that, nor is there majority Congressional support for changing it.

Example of how punctuation can make all the difference... '... and the problem is: The US is supporting Israel and supplying it with weapons. Neither Presidential candidate has any intention of changing that, nor is there majority Congressional support for changing it.' The american people are mostly against israel and sending billions to israel. And yet nearly all of congress, presidential candidates, etc are in fav…

Mass censorship and search friction does that to people. So far as the war on empathy goes HN is lost.

Many Googlers are not comfortable with that. Lots of them are immigrants who understandably don't want to be associated with US-endorsed genocide.

No, I don't have a "problem"; I just have a different opinion than you do.

But your problem IS: you refuse to admit when you've been proven wrong. You made a statement; I demonstrated it was incorrect. Game over.

Israel is a high tech hub. Hopefully some new advances can come out of this collaboration that make us all safer.

Doesn’t that sound somewhat similar to hoping pharmaceuticals strike partnerships with African warlords to test what could one day be some new amazing drug. It just sounds grossly unethical so as to directly extract profits from intentional human harm on a large scale.

I suspect I would feel completely different about this if the Israeli military weren’t currently in a conflict indiscriminately killing dozens or hundreds of civilians as collateral damage in pursuit of single targets, or if they weren’t intentionally and illegally taking land from people in an area that isn’t a conflict zone at all.

Okay. I'm wrong. That's why 38 states have made it illegal to boycott israel. We love israel so much that you shouldn't be allowed to boycott it right? But then again, if we loved israel, nobody would boycott israel in the first place and we wouldn't need laws barring people from boycotting israel. It's amazing how many anti-american laws are created solely for israel's benefit.

You are right. We love israel. So lets tear down those silly holocaust memorials in the US and create memorials for native americans who were actually genocided in the US. A holocaust memorial in the US is as silly as a lenape genocide memorial in germany.

You should let the ADL and the thousands of israel aligned groups in the US that their services are no longer required.

America israel.

This is some remarkably absurd logic.

Fine w/me. We certainly don't love the terrorists. So I guess we're done here.

I can understand why you would feel that way.
