Israel is the textbook example of proverbs "you become what you're fighting with" and "if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you".
If they were 10% as bad as their opposition Gaza would have been Arab-free for decades now.

#53That's really sad. The Isreali man really should not have been there, but I have to recognise a couple of things. 1) I don't know what anyone is saying except, ironically, plea's of someone near the camera man asking the Israeli man to "Shoot me". 2) I do not know what lead up to this confrontation 3) I have been in a circumstance before where a large group of people are acting frantic and in a threatening way and it…
As you ask why this is here. Copied from the guidelines of this site: “What to submit? On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. (…) anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.” So it’s fair to say that this site is about more than entrepreneurship and tech.

Is there anything that could be done to stop this? Anything that a hypothetical terrorist organization that raped and murdered 1,000 men, women and children could give back that would lead to an immediate ceasefire?
If only there was but I guess we will never know as I am sure there is not an organization so evil that while claiming to represent its people gleefully causes their deaths. An organization so evil that it builds its bases under schools and hospitals to ensure civilian deaths if anyone comes for them.

I'm afraid "we're still not as bad as them" is part of that thinking.

#56Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's even worse than that. Israel's minister of the security services is ideologically aligned with the terrorists, and has openly supported their causes all his life. A quite unprecedented situation, I think!
I guess if they are viewed as an occupying force, it’s much less unprecedented. In fact it’s exactly how you’d expect an occupation to act.
This isn't an occupation, it's an ethnic cleansing.

#57The game theory, as per recent events, is as follows:
1. Hamas doesn't accept a two-state solution.
2. Israel is therefore forced into implementing a one-state solution.

Perhaps we need to make some mapbox visualizations about the devastation in Gaza. Then we'll be on theme, but the topic is not going to change. Maybe someone should make a game about it and put it on Steam. Maybe it'll get banned. Then we can have the PERFECT discussion on HN, as so many want:
- About tech
- About a current event
- About censorship
Genocide by itself, that's just not good enough apparently. That's very weird because there's tons of serious discussion on HN about history. This place cares a lot about history. Whatever is happening right now is just real-time history.

#60The film could not find a U.S. distributor after being picked up for distribution in 24 countries and winning the Oscar, a situation that has been compared to soft censorship. ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Other_Land
Impressive that it managed to win an Oscar all things considered.
