> indexing which Gaza families to bomb Wtf does this even mean? If Hamas used Google docs to plan their attack, does that make Google guilty of killing Israeli families? Coincidentally, this sort of hyperbole always seems to end at the critic's own actions in the chain of complicity of evil. I've never heard an activist call claim that they were personally funding genocide by paying taxes.

Israel has many ties with corporations and governments. This might be why, but I'm also not sure what the author's talking about. It would be nice to have some context.

  the author is grandstanding from an unprincipled stance. Israel can choose which families are harboring Hamas members and decide which houses to bomb or just bomb everything. Hamas could also surrender after losing the war they started, at any time, and stand trial for starting a war. Hamas can choose to stop using their children as shields at any time. Hamas is to blame for everything.

    I understand your confusion. The author wrote this article for an audience that has the same background as her, ignoring that not everyone has the same information. So it ended up confusing for a lot of people.

    If a murderer hides in your home, or not, when you and your children are inside, whether you like it or not, you can be bombed, if said house is in Gaza. If you live in the US or Israel, you would have hundreds of effectives for every house, instead of killing people in a ratio of 60 to 1 (and counting)

It’s a metaphor, probably referring to military contracts that have come to light: https://theintercept.com/2025/05/12/google-nimbus-israel-military-ai-human-rights/ https://theintercept.com/2025/05/12/google-nimbus-israel-mil... Accepting a mil/gov contract is quite a few steps removed from incidental usage of google docs.
