It’s more likely someone is unaware of your examples, because it requires a level of knowledge in corporate geopolitical actors that most people wouldn’t come across via normal news streams.
Be polite.
- ipv6ipv4 6y agoI’ve seen too many of these comments over the years. They always come from the same hateful place. Once comments like that bubble up, it’s no longer a dialogue and the person writing them is not debating in good faith.
- saagarjha 6y agoThe guidelines tell you to assume good faith, and I think the commenter you’re replying to gave a fairly reasonable explanation of the intention behind what was written. For the most part, people don’t have a vendetta against Israel in particular: they are just unaware of other cases, or aren’t going to bring them up in an article about the NSO group, which is Israeli.
- lawnchair_larry 6y agoA quick search of “BDS” and “occupation” will quickly demonstrate otherwise.
- saagarjha 6y agoI mean, Israel/Palestine obviously a complicated political topic. There’s the BDS, there’s a pro-Israel lobby–my point is that a comment made about trying to punish Israel for allowing the NSO to operate isn’t necessarily trying to push an agenda beyond “I’m angry that exploit brokers exist here”.
