Your country is at war with them, and they are mostly on the receiving end.
While I understand it can be frustrating not to be able to attend, certainly you can understand that it may be hard for at least some of the attendants to interact with you without prejudice, and therefore that it's significantly easier to plan without you.
Blame the cause, not the consequence.

The poster couldn't help but publicly write: "We hate the Gazan government". At least this individual will bring hate for their elected government. (And not just this one person, given the ominous "we".) I've had no problem assisting marginalized groups, as a privileged person. Because I don't center it on myself, as if I'm entitled to "experience my neighbors". As if the alternative is "serving in an armed forces war" against them, the extreme form of violence. The hackathon's organizers are clearly competent. Creating at least a somewhat safe environment for learners. As we can see, they would have been fools to do otherwise.
- berntb 10y agoThe Gaza government cites racist hate propaganda in their founding declaration and systematically target civilians. Not to mention torture/murders of their political opposition. You really don't hate governments like that yourself?
