Israel has allowed civilian aid in, does "knocking" to reduce deaths from their bombing, supplied the water Palestine was using to begin with, etc. so when Hamas fighters have literally been robbing the civilians of the food aid, it rings a bit hollow.
It's weird that you want to ignore how we ended up with the current borders to begin with (let's just ignore the war that was started, then lost), ignore the peace deals they signed and reneged on, the intifadas, etc. in this analysis.

- dang 3y agoYou can't post like this to HN, regardless of how right you are or feel you are, or how wrong others are or you feel they are. This is exactly the sort of comment that my pinned comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38573652 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38573652) is asking users not to post to this thread (or indeed any thread). We have to ban accounts that keep posting like this, so please don't do it again. (Needless to say, this goes for both sides of the conflict, not just one.)
- megous 3y agoWould sourcing every single point in my sarcastic comment help? Or should I just not use sarcasm?
- dang 3y agoI'm never quite clear on what the word "sarcasm" means but I think the answer to your question is yes, you should just not use it - at least not in an aggressively-argumentative way. The guidelines try to cover this with rules like "Be kind. Don't be snarky." (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html).

- Natsu 3y agoThat's fair, I will try to do better, but this is a hard one to discuss neutrally. There's a huge mess, it has long been a huge mess, and a lot of people want to focus on only half of the story.
- dang 3y agoYes, and everyone has a different half of the story that they want to focus on, and a lot of the time we struggle to include, or even acknowledge, the other "halves". I know it's extremely difficult. But it's work that we all have to do together if we want our community to survive. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
