I think the middle eastern conflicts are a tragedy. That said, this story does not belong on HN. As others called out this is a tech community and while there is sometimes an overlap with politics, it should at least be somewhat related like mass surveillance or AI being used for war. HN is one of the most informative and least toxic communities and I’d appreciate if it would stay this way.

Exactly! Don't bring politics into HN. Everyone and their dog have grievances. There's a time and place for them.

> more conflict means more power for them

That's literally the strategy of the Likud, who undermined the more moderate Fattah to allow the extremist Hamas to reign on the Gaza strip, hoping that one day the 7th of october would happen, and would let them unleash a genocide...

Technology isn't apolitical.

Too many people think of politics as a tribal team sport. It's not. Politics overlaps with tech because it's really about labelling situations accurately and modelling consequences effectively.

If you fail at those, politics can literally kill you.

Technology happens to be one of the ways it can do that.

This is the same Israel that has attacked Iran, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Quatar and Sudan (https://youtu.be/pRxKltphg6c?si=bDSB_jA-KPM4Efzu) and globally trafficked children?

(https://youtu.be/RJhqGDZbqBI?si=MQFuah6er7TvHcaD)

Or is it the Israel that deliberately destroys crops (https://youtu.be/Lyp9Xfess3Q?si=1_4usvB1yjgYhKSb)?

Maybe it’s the Israel that ignores ceasefires (http://youtube.com/post/Ugkxn4SkyNfKESV6nPO_ZzgOhdaH8lb_FAkx...) or fills in wells (http://youtube.com/post/UgkxaPo3ERDtr5fQKPAHnFgxwYkMaEeMgdlo...)

Or it could be the Israel that shoots and kills 234 peaceful protestors (https://www.972mag.com/gaza-return-march-idf/)

Restraint is not really in Israeli vocabulary, and the story being sold is a lie.

I have no doubt isreali forces are responsible for a lot of war crimes. At the same time i see how one they cannot think and feel clearly anymore if your neighbours dream constantly about your elimination. All sides just need to stop with that hatred. It leads to so much pain.

There's another 1000+ "invaders took my shit" issues in the world. Your logic only leads to non-stop fights between everyone

Pretty sure police brutality was invented way before Israel existed.

i've been on hn a long time, and if there's a prohibition against anything vaguely political if it can't be connected to technology, i've never known it.

there is and always has been a strong prohibition of anything political on HN. it is widely and frequently discussed as the main problem with HN. Usually, a post like this would be removed very quickly
