> it is very unfortunate and we as a society feel bad for this > Sick pro palys... Lol. And you as a society don't feel bad for illegally occupying and colonising other people's territory? Why don't you withdraw within your borders?

It’s hard not to wonder whether better technology could someday help stop tragedies like this.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'll bite: If for any reason, probably because it's neither technically interesting nor entrepreneurial in nature.

I am German. My government does not acknowledge the tragedy that has been unfolding in Gaza since the Hamas attack in October 2023. It’s absurd.

In 2021, Esther Bejarano, the last survivor of the Auschwitz Girls’ Orchestra, passed away in Hamburg. Whenever she commented…

I live in DE too, it's terrifying. I didn't realize the extent of the armaments shipped to Israel from Germany until recently.

The Israeli navy ships were built in German shipyards and subsidized 30%...

For those wondering, it is verifiable story, it is covered as fact in Israeli newspapers: https://www.timesofisrael.com/israeli-forces-kill-west-bank-... https://www.ynetnews.com/article/p7mq5k5bs The main justification floated is that the car was "going fast" and thus made the undercover Israeli soldiers feel unsafe.

I see people saying this story doesn't belong on HN. genuine question, if this story were about a german national would it be considered as political? is palestinian existence inherently more political than other peoples' existence?
