I agree. That’s why I won’t vote unless someone NOT funded by AIPAC is on the ballot.

People didn't flip to red so much as blue voters in swing states sitting on their hands and abstaining from voting.

Refusing to vote is the best way to ensure policies y…

Looking at the official HN guidelines, it states that "Most stories about politics" is off-topic , and "If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic ". Is the Isreal/Gaza debate not political, and not mainstream news? How does a story like this not directly violate those guidelines? Furthermore, the guidelines state that stories should be what "good hackers" find "intellectually satisfying". A political deb…

Israel and Israeli businesses are an intractable part of the modern American tech scene. Mellanox, for example, is the cited reason Nvidia ships any datacenter-scale interconnect at all today. America's highest-tech defense contractors work in direct concert with Rafael et. al, and companies like Cellebrite are suppliers of US law enforcement. When the equation changes vis-a-vis Israel's credibility, this entire Jeng…
