Would you have written the same sentence only with "China" and "Tiananmen Square"? It's really interesting to see these small mask-off moments when relatively veteran HN users allow themselves to indulge in such obvious bigotry as this comment. Weird how you only really see this happening when the post has some relation to the Jewish state.

Nothing you wrote actually refutes my point that these people not only escaped consequences, but they were protected by rioters and then becane celebrities in the Israeli late night circuit. Remind me which other countries had a debate in their parliament about whether it was OK to gang r*ape a prisoner in the rectum and send them to the hospital? When countries commit atrocities like that it's normal for there to be…

Did you dig deep into what Syrian regime did to Syrians? What about Russian atrocities? Not to mention Sudan. Maybe you were defending Yezidis? I doubt you ever mentioned any war crimes in any of these conflicts.

Yes because people are losing their jobs or not getting the chance. YES, the selection pool being only my country favours ME. Are we CLEAR? Are we supposed to sit and take it?

Geezer, you are not even American, you know nothing about H1B. Stay back where you belong and don't tell us whom to favor.

Outsourcing is a similar issue here. Also the big consultancy indian firms.

The israeli impunity has likely made Russia more ruthless in Ukraine, with for example attacks on hospitals. Sudan is an interesting example to bring up, since the RSF is closely connected with Israel's friends in the UAE, and the UAE has recently asked the US to help them avoid responsibility for what they've done.

The Assad regime clinged to power in part in the way it did because it was what Israel preferred, israeli elites have been very afraid of what would follow the fall of Assad, which is likely why they've bombed Syria more or less constantly since then and occupies a large portion of the country. In the West many people believe the Assad dynasty to have been a clean iranian asset, but this isn't true. Bashar had good relations with security services in many other countries, and was one recipient of people collected by the US for torture during the so called War on Terror. Besides Beirut and possibly Amman it's likely Damascus was the most important spy hub in the region.

The fate of Syria is an enormous tragedy, that could likely have been avoided.

There isn't much grey in airstrikes on starving children shivering in tents. No sane, healthy person would approve of such an atrocity. The israeli political establishment commonly declares genocidal intent against the palestinians, and uses military, sexual, reproductive and other means, including starvation, to realise this intent. This isn't really something to discuss, the reader can just go search for video clip…

there aren’t any airstrikes on starving children shivering in tents if hamas isn’t using their tent for attacking / smuggling / planning terror. what you are doing is inciting hate against A PEOPLE. not criticizing IDF for bad conduct.

Why do you think you're allowed to murder children if they are close to people engaged in legitimate resistance to occupation?

If what I write incite hatred towards the palestinians in you, that's a you problem and you should probably seek out professional help with that.

That $100B is a based on a ballpark estimate of how much a passive investor would expect to earn by putting $32B of their money into a high-yield stock fund (yielding 15% per year, which is a conservative annual growth rate for a cloud provider) and sitting on it for 10 years. If Google can't do at least as well as that, the investor would be better off with the stock fund.

Yes but I'm saying that they will still own Wiz at the 10 year mark, so you can discount their valuation at the time from the 100B.

I accounted for that in my math. Investing $32B for 10 years at 15% interest compounded continuously = $132B.

There are so many accounts of Hamas militants executing innocent people from that event. Here is one: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67105618 Here is two: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/videos/toi-original/watc... Should I go on? There are so many... I think it holds water pretty well, doesn't it?

That's one video with material from the Nova festival, and no, as you can see, the palestinian ran after them for quite some distance rather than just kill them. It is unclear whether he tried to take hostages or not. I've also explained that this event was unorganised and spontaneous, it wasn't an organised resistance activity such as I meant above. To me this material prompts the wish for justice, with due process…

No use arguing with such a hateful person, but other people can easily see what Gaza was before they launched their genocide against Jews on October 7: https://x.com/imshin https://t.me/ImshinJ

Check how does "concentration camp" look before Hamas started a war at expense of the peaceful population on both sides. There are many "Before October 7" videos on there, all with timestamps and sources from clips that Gazans publish themselves. Luxury villas, luxury cars, cute restaurants and good life all around. Also very sick children were routinly treated in Israeli hospitals for free. The main obstacle for poor Gazans was Hamas and their governing. Hamas also managed to smuggle enough concrete to build a tunnel system bigger than NY subway, instead of pumping these resources into Gazan society.

Terrorism is not legitimate – that’s pretty basic. And I think IDF is allowed to pursue the destruction of Hamas, because that is what international law says. If someone fires rockets that can kill thousands they are a legitimate target.

"IHL prohibits attacks that may be expected to cause excessive incidental civilian harm in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated. In the conduct of hostilities, causing incidental harm to civilians and civilian objects is often unavoidable." – Hamas leadership has planned and is planning attacks on Israeli civilians and destroying the Hamas leadership and militants is of a concrete and direct military advantage.

You should seek out palestinian voices that are interested in peace and life, not a death cult. To call the Hamas leadership "legitimate resistance to occupation" is just sick. They are bathing in luxury while Gazans die. They do not let the population to use their tunnels as bomb shelters. They sell the free humanitarian aid to extremely poor people, forcing the family members to sacrifice life and go join hamas, cause obviously that’s the only source of cash in the strip. You must be hating gazans even more than you hate jews, actually.

Yep ... I gave up too. No use in debating someone on the actual facts.

Calling the oct 7 terrorist attacks a genocide against the Jews it at best hyperbolic and at worst an apologia for an actual genocide. Your second paragraph makes me fear you are doing the latter.

I don’t think you realize just how hateful your post actually is. You are trying to paint a picture of victims of genocide that somehow deserved the horrors done against them, or at best denies the very real horrors another state is inflicting upon them.

This kind of speech has no place on a tech forum.

lies and hate inciting against jews do, from your perspective I guess?
