- dang 3y agoYes, that's why we merged those threads into this one. From https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html: Submitters: "Please submit the original source. If a post reports on something found on another site, submit the latter." - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Readers might still find it helpful to read both pieces, of course.
- tguvot 3y ago972 this is leftist "blog magazine" with questionably sourced material. while there might be some truth to core claim of automated system (which IDF confirmed that exists), rest of claims probably outcome of "broken phone". But everybody will use it as statement of undeniable fact in order to evolve as usual discussion into "genocidal Israel indiscriminately killing civilians in droves and performs ethnic cleaning and other countless war crimes" and downvote into oblivion everybody who will disagree with it.

- cess11 3y agoMainstream israeli television pretty much agrees with the description you put in quotes. It's just that they think it's jolly good and something to be proud of, whereas you seem to disagree with that?
- FireBeyond 3y agoIt is fairly difficult to be to the right of some of Netanyahu's and Likud's positions, so disdainfully referring to it as some "leftist blog magazine" is more just an attempt to denigrate.
- dist-epoch 3y agoThe Guardian does not easily reference some random source. There is some vouching involved, especially for a story like this.
