You don't need propaganda. Just look at the death counts: 18,600 in two months.
That’s one Oct 7 every 4 days for 67 days straight

#44> Unable to think of any way to help. All I can do is retweet and protest and write a stupid blog post. I feel so stupid.
By writing this blog post, you have already done something extremely significant and noble. You are giving a voice to those who cannot speak for themselves because they are running from bombs with their children and doing what they can to increase their chances of being able to feed them tomorrow. Very few have internet access, and fewer still have the time and energy to spend writing about their experiences. If people like you and others who share your empathy (a huge shout out to Jewish Voice for Peace who are spearheading the protests and spreading awareness of war crimes that are being done in their name; showing the world that this is not a religious war) did not speak about this, they would have no one to represent them.
Thank you.

As long as the only solution is a one sided ceasefire there is no solution. That's what you people have to understand. You can be biased as much as you want to just pondering on one solution doesn't help anyone. The people in the region should understand that from experience.
A ceasefire is no solution and no one is calling it that. It’s a moral imperative that anyone with a shred of humanity can support given all key observers, including Biden, has called the Likud campaign indiscriminate bombing. The bombing is not going to do anything. Hamas is not a regular army, there are 30k+ Hamas, when IDF tells people to clear an area, do you not think the Hamas clears it as well? Then what will…
Than put whatever you want on the table and don't go for the tiniest of denominators a ceasefire will change nothing it will probably worsen the situation for civilians because every side will have real breaches and even more propaganda ones. If not now when is the point to find a permanent solution if it's two states or whatever. Wasting time on a useless solution like it is done now will help no one except virtue signalling and everyone knows it.

#46This is precisely how I, and many in tech, feel. It's as if my own internal monologue wrote a blog post itself.
You might be asking why I can claim many on tech feel this way. It's because I've seen similar repression from Saudi Arabia (powered by Israeli cyber weapons).
In Saudi, a lot of really loud people barking are able to do so because that is the establishment line.
Everybody else who is silenced have, usually the diametrically exact opposite opinion (or even unacceptable tame variations of the establishment line).
In Saudi they use Israeli cyber weapons to hack, monitor then jail (even mild) dissent.
In tech there are many establishment lemmings who don't think for themselves who essentially act the same as establishment propagandists and their pernicious weapon against dissent is being iced out from opportunities.
Tech is meant to be decentralized, meritocratic, (somewhat) contrarian.
Yet we've seen in these last two months all that goes thrown out the window when it comes to narratively protecting a genocidal project because unfortunately there is a well oiled Israeli Extermination Force to Tech pipeline that people don't like to talk about (aka Affirmative action for extreme Zionists).
Most of the few founders I know will be raising with BDS in mind - that hopefully includes LPs where possible.
Don't support right of return? You don't deserve right to my returns.

Because a ceasefire stops the murder of innocents. This has to be above all hypotheticals.

Which one are you thinking? It feels to me this was the first post I've written with real emotion.
