You don't really need aljazeera to know that Israel isn't such a nice country when it comes to mowing down human lives because their god told them that's their promised land

> because their god told them that's their promised land Can you please stop spewing antisemitic bullshit, especially on the 70th anniversary of Israel? Israel was founded after thousands of years of antisemitism ranging from verbal abuse over pogroms up to the Holocaust so that Jews would have a safe haven from antisemitism.

And in the process kill everyone who already lived there? Fuck off, please

Knowing what we know about how shameless their government is about killing unarmed civilians, why on earth would any ethical human being support them? https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/03/israeli-forces-kill-3...

Interesting. Do you have the same opinion regarding any country whose military has killed unarmed civilians - including US and UK - or just Israel?

Are the people they're up against really all that morally superior? I'm not making a whataboutist point, it's just that if you're picking a side you have to look at more than just one of them. So absolutely soldiers should be held accountable for their treatment of captives, and e.g. Israeli soldiers have been jailed for assaulting prisoners, but I don't see many Palestinians being jailed by their own administrative…

I would agree with some of the point you raise: no clear moral superiority of some of the people they are against.

Do recall that that Israel has followed a policy of assassination based on political disagreement. People have been assassinated for their speech and opinion.

Using aljazeera a source of "news" for anything Israel is doing is a dubious as linking to bertibart as a reliable insider in the US democratic party.

I tried to find an Israeli source, but was stopped by paywalls. Maybe the EU response is reliable enough: https://eeas.europa.eu/headquarters/headquarters-homepage/42...

z.\SUY.ZA... and Israel-is-70 (text from the picture) have the same length.

Coincidence?

Spoiler:

... as it was said, the first brainfuck program prints xor-with-key. The second program doesn't output anything but it sets the memory "array" with 12 non-zero values. By XORing these values with the phrase present in the image (12 characters too) you get "35.205.32.11" which can be an IP (something in Google's ranges), geographical coordinates (interpreted as x,y they point somewhere in Israel, in fact) or I don't know whatever else.

I’m Israeli and my family was murdered by antisemites like you. I do not believe in god, but I believe in history.

Yes, the IDF kills innocent civilians. But so does every army, like the US army for example. It’s not done on purpose. When soldiers do it on purpose and not to save lives, they get punished.

The file won't run on linux as is, unless I've done it wrong.

    line 6: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
edit: it's not to do with executables, but with the "Israel is 70" text.
