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 hosti…
What do you mean by "Hamas"? In zionist parlance it is usually a euphemism for palestinians or arabs generally. Do you get payed for hasbara or do you volunteer for some other reason? Only a few countries consider Hamas to be a terrorist organisation. It's unlikely Bibi does, since he got Qatar to give him money in suitcases to drive into the Gaza strip, because banks didn't want to touch it due to the risk of sancti…
USA, Canada, the EU, the UK, Japan, New Zealand and Israel – all the countries that matter to me. I don’t care what Russia or Iran or other non-democratic, tyrant led countries designate the terrorists as. Especially the ones doing weapon deals with them.
It is a tragic situation where on both sides people lost families and feeling of safety, yet your concentration on hate doesn’t let you see the complexity and the fact that there are two sides to this conflict. You know nothing about me and what I would like to see.
As I said, there is a big difference between labeling the whole nation genocidal, especially ones who protect their families and criticizing government, specific IDF conduct – you are making hateful generalizations that aren’t going to bring any justice to anyone. You are only fueling hate based on lies.
I disengage. You are lying and your hatred has consumed you.

> hamas is objectively the main reason for gazans’ misery and yet you didn’t meet the brave people who speak against them This is the kind of speech I was talking about. You are shifting the blame of the Gaza genocide, and the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories away from the perpetrators of said genocide and occupation and onto the people who are fighting said occupation. This is exactly the kind of sp…
the blame of suffering in gaza is on Hamas, there isn’t any reason to not repeat this and you better try to understand it, if you dont want more violence in the region. you can name many “indigenous people who fell victims” who butchered a thousand civilians and then took 250 hostage? what are you talking about with your inappropriate comparisons?
> do you understand how grave is an accusation of genocide?
That is what you did 9 posts upthread. My claim of the Gaza genocide is well accepted among most genocide experts, several human rights organizations, international organizations, and several of the world’s government. The accusation of Oct 7 being a genocide is a fringe theory, which hardly anybody believes, but is used to justify the actual Gaza genocide. This is precisely why I jumped in this threat. To call out your speech for what it is.
> you can name many “indigenous people who fell victims” who butchered a thousand civilians and then took 250 hostage?
That specifically, no. Generally, yes. FLN in French Algeria comes quick to mind. They were probably as brutal and disregarding of civilian casualties among the French colonial settler population as Hamas is. ZANU and ZIPRA in Zimbabwe (then Rhodesia) is not hard to think of either. They regularly engaged in terrorist tactics. ZIPRA for example downed two civilian airplanes with the sole reason of killing as many white Rhodesian settlers as they could.
If we include general violence against the settler colonists done be the indigenous population outside of an organized group then the Haitian slave revolt is easy to mention. The revolting slaves made no distinction between civilians and military. There you actually had beheaded children which the freed slaves would put onto pikes and display to the french colonial soldiers.
If we include general colonies (not just settler colonies) the Viet Cong and the Kenyan Mau Mau come to mind. The Viet Cong would regularly bomb civilian targets and the Mau Mau did the infamous Lari Massacre where 74 (mostly) civilians were burned inside a locked hut.
All of these atrocities (except maybe the Hatian slave revolt) were than used to justify extreme violence against the indigenous population. The Mau Mau aftermath by british soldiers were particularly brutal, but still comes nowhere near the atrocities commit by the Israeli settler colonial army during the ongoing Gaza genocide.
Finally I would also like to call attention to the French Resistance. They didn’t come anywhere near Hamas in brutality against civilians. At worst they would throw grenades at Nazi soldiers in a public setting. But that didn’t stop the Nazi occupiers from calling them terrorist and use it to justify mass atrocities against the general French population.

#934Sounds like Google is compromised through Trump to me, by paying more ( in kickbacks) to his backers. I don't think this will help Google in any way. In fact it will probably cost it, as it may be seen as 'compromised' by other state actors. Not a good thing especially when you are discussing security on your platform.

#935"Israel literally owned Congress" - Donald Trump [1] There has been a full and total coup of Zionist influence peddles over over the United States government. This is the lens in which you should look at this deal. The Department of Education is on the verge of being abolished, and the remaining skeleton staff have been redirected to investigate cases of "antisemitism".

> "Israel literally owned Congress" - Donald Trump [1] Let me guess, when Trump says some crazy exaggeration you will immediately believe him if it sheds a bad light on Israel - but only then. Otherwise you wouldn't believe him because he's a pathological liar right? The silly thing is he said it was a decade ago and today its the exact opposite, so that doesn't agree with what you said at all.

#936In a recent interview , one of the founders claimed that one of Wiz smart moves was using a graph database for mapping cloud resources and their relations, while perhaps all other competitors used SQL or NoSQL. It helped them “get to the point” quicker and “cleaner”.

Re: Google to buy Wiz for $32B
#937This makes no sense. Assume 1,000 customers each generating $2m in ARR with contracts. That’s $2 billion. Assume generous 6x ARR valuation, that’s $12 billion. Where is this $20 billion premium coming from? How could the board approve this? How is this fair to shareholders? Heck, as a minor shareholder in GOOG, I don’t find this financially responsible at all. I can’t help but think sometimes these tech acquisitions…
It is one of the fastest growing companies in the cybersecurity space. 6x ARR is quite low for that. 15x is a great deal for Google. I think Wiz accepted 15x because it is all-cash. The rate at which they are still growing, a series C/D company would dream of. [1] https://www.wiz.io/blog/100m-arr-in-18-months-wiz-becomes-th...
Fastest growing but because they participated in a pay-for-play kickback scheme [1][2]?
So that number isn't really signal. Now that they're not paying CISOs to adopt the product they're not going to be growing as fast.

that would immediately shed half the value of the company and Google would need to book a huge loss e.g. half of Fortune 100 use Wiz and I assure you most of them do not use GCP (or do not use only GCP)
I would think the majority of f100 is multi cloud and absolutely uses GCP for at least some workloads.
"(or do not use only GCP)"

half of Fortune 100 use Wiz gonna need a citation on that. All I could find was their own quotes.
it's obviously from their own quotes but you can get most of the names in their various customers use cases, joint PRs and the likes (and those required the customers' direct approval )

Genocide denial and denial of state atrocities are illegal in some jurisdictions. Are you sure this is a risk you're willing to take? At October 7th the Gaza strip was under occupation, with the population on the verge of starvation. That is not peaceful. It was also the deadliest year in a long time for palestinians in the occupied West Bank. An openly genocidal, kahanist-likudnik government had taken power in Israe…
again, there is documented video footage of good life, better than in most arab countries in the region. the fact you refuse to believe reality goes well with everything that you spew out. and defense is a real right, unlike terrorism, if you pick violence, the other side will defend itself - so you are just glorifying more death, and are blind to your bloodlust, which is disgusting.
The occupier is the aggressor. ICJ published an advisory opinion last summer. Palestinian armed resistance is legitimate, within the limits of international law.
