- yebyen 13y agoSo the Palestinian founders should call it an Israeli company? I have no idea of the agendas of the CuBox founders, but given there are Jews I know who do not support the government of Israel, and here someone asked the question, I think it's fair to give an answer.
- DanBC 13y agoI think the Palestinian founders should call it whatever they want. I know that Palestine, Israel, etc are hot button topics. HN has shown many times that it's not good to try to discuss it here. These threads never go well. It's a shame, because I want to hear smart people talking about a complex topic, but I absolutely do not want to read the hyper-aggressive bullshit that goes with it. Here's an example of a fantastically un-useful comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6306567 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6306567) "you must be jew or a CIA or Mossad Agent". That's the kind of thing that kills useful discussion.
- yebyen 13y agoI hadn't gone into ArabNews' profile to see if he was spouting hate speech. This thread makes me sick (not in a hyper-aggressive bullshit sort of way, but a stifling urge to fire back, can't possibly be a productive use of anyone's time kind of way.) Just four clicks away, "We need an AlQaeda facebook" I don't even know where to begin. Just remember America, you can either vote for the Republicans or you can vote for the Democrats. There are only two options. Upvote or downvote.
