  • At least now they admit it happened. Now to convince them that maybe intentionally targeting civilians, raping, and kidnapping people isn't a good thing that should be celebrated.

    Fat chance that will happen with the PLO as it is now. They figured out a long time ago that they get rich from not signing peace deals.

  • The issue here is that even if Reuters want told ahead of time, the paid money to a person who has a close working relationship with a foreign terrorist organization. Sufficiently close that they knew exactly where to go along a 60km (37mi) border in time to take pictures of hostages being brought into Gaza. At least one of the photographers took photographs of himself inside Israeli territory.

    The true focus needs to be on failed financial controls within these companies - transacting with sanctioned entities is a big fucking problem (strict liability fines, criminal liability) and should rightly worry these companies.

    I truly believe they just jumped on a huge story and had no malintent. This is mostly saber rattling by Israel to counter what they perceive to be biased reporting.

  • Reuters, AP, and NYT don't cover it comprehensively, but there is single-sentence coverage in almost every daily summary:

    The biggest difference is that Israel at least claims to be bombing military infrastructure - barracks, magazines, rocket launch sites, etc. Hamas are aiming primarily at civilians.

  • I'll answer your question and hopefully you'll answer mine.

    The hypothetical boy could choose life. He could work in agriculture, or study, or literally just live his life. Palestinians are not starving on a daily basis, and certainly not in the west bank. He can go on with his life, get married, have kids, and literally choose to move on and not take violent revenge.

    Now my question for you: do you support Hamas?

    I ask because It sounds like you drank the Hamas koolaid. Their charter literally state that every Palestinian must engage in violent resistance, and have no alternative.

  • If you truly believe that violence is the only answer the Palestinians have, then you've given up any hope for peace.

  • It's not oversimplified. It's a statement of principles.

    The reality of our world is that murderers walk free all the time. But saying "x caused y and we should fix the root cause of this" is wildly different than saying "can you blame him?" Because the answer to that is yes! You can blame him for choosing violence and choosing terror.

  • More likely they want to run away from the 8000 daily rocket attacks on Israeli cities

  • If he murders the person who murdered his father he would be a murderer.

    If he murders random civilians who were unrelated to the incident, then yes. He is a terrorist.

    Terror is terror. There is no excuse for intentionally targeting civilians. It's murder at best, and terrorism at worst.

  • Since when is immutability controversial? Linus called out the Google patches as badly designed with massive code quality issues for good reason. Theo described OpenBSDs approach to it and it is truly a simply concept with good security ramifications.
