It would probably be a good start if Israel just stopped bombing or otherwise closing Palestine's sea front or land borders with other countries. They don't even have to open their own border to civilians trying to escape their air strikes!
Are you familiar with the history of how those walls went up? Hint: it has something to do with more than one thousand civilian deaths caused by suicide bombers coming from Gaza in the late 1990s and early 2000s, which almost completely stopped after the walls and checkpoints were installed. Now Hamas uses rockets instead, but those were much less dangerous on average than the bombings that were employed beforehand.

I mean Israel should withdraw, sign the peace deal to get the hostages free, send Netanyahu and Gallant to the ICJ, and pay reparations to rebuild Gaza. That can take a 3% discount, for the October 7 attacks, given that they've taken at least 30 civilian lives for every one they lost.

If they don't want to supply local populations with aid and food, they shouldn't block aid and food from going in.

The eSIM stuff terrifies me, because you know damn well they're feeding that data into their intelligence apparatus for targeting purposes, and recent history has shown thus far that they don't give much of a shit about collateral damage.

To be fair, the goal seems to be to kill and injure as much as possible, so wether you're using a cellphone or not you might just die. An I you consider a kill and 3 injury for each bombardement (4 casualties)(which is a low estimate), 250 bombardement a day (low estimate again), and take the highest estimate of Hamas militants, 20k (including associated armed groups), 90% of all casualties are civilians, which is a…
> the telecommunications infrastructure has been severely damaged Distal to the tech here but man, once you see the passive voice vs active voice stuff on this issue, you really can't un-see it. Astounding. Edit: finished the article. The tech here really is stunning -- like, the ratio of ingenuity to resources is insane.
I believe political judgements are against the Hacker News guidelines as I've been reprimanded for making them in the past. Your comment should be removed by the moderators. If you'd said it about Ukraine/Russia, it wouldn't be removed.
