- pjc50 12y agoWhat is novel here exactly?
- stefantalpalaru 12y agoNon-violent resistance in the face of violent aggression (much like Ghandi's advice to brits under attack from Germany).
- Protostome 12y agoYou're preaching to the choir here. I'm an Israeli who is deeply opposed to the policy towards the palestinians. Most of the tech/startup scene here holds similar opinions. The problem is the more religious sectors and they probably don't read HN. Although I have much respect and empathy towards that family, the fact that thousands of Israelis were blown in buses in the last decade pretty much shows that "Peaceful resistance" is something so rare that it deserves a BBC article. Polls actually show that most palestinians support terrorist attacks against civilians as a mean of "resisting the occupation"
