> The idea Israeli government would hold anyone accountable is a laughable. It's happened, many times. Usually this doesn't make front-page news, but soldiers that break the law are sometimes held accountable. Not nearly enough

That's a pretty serious accusation, and I don't think you can actually back that up with anything. Online, pretty much any time Israel is discussed, the majority of commenters (or articles) are anti-Israel. Regardless of why you t

Yes! You and I are in agreement. It was the parent to my comment that was suggesting otherwise.

If the bigger picture includes completely changing the entire way the world works, the way countries work, how humans have always organized themselves, etc, then I think it makes sense that people are not looking at it because it is complet

No, it's like asking why you spent a billion dollars renovating your house, then claimed you were never planning to live in it.

This is not true of Bibi. No law limits how much he can serve. The only legal block for him remaining in power is that he's undergoing various criminal trials, which may or may not end with him being found guilty. There is, of course,

Without commenting on your characterization of what is happening as "all the genociding", I want to actually answer your actual question - why are "we" talking about the weeds of this case. There are a few completely sep

Well, that's fair, and a pretty good analysis. And obviously I view the situation with an Israeli bias. Still, I think you (or austin-cheney) go way too far in seemingly completely dismissing the idea that the proxies are to fight Isra

No, no fight from me - you're totally right! I'm on your side and I usually don't make that mistake :)

What does that matter? Are you saying you are more of an expert than everyone else? Would you at least agree that yours is at the very least far from a mainstream opinion? I feel like you at least need to back it up with some evidence giv

Which doesn't make my point wrong. In many companies, tech, whether good or bad, is not the majority of the workforce , nor is it necessarily the "core competency" of the company, even if they are selling technical products!

Sorry, what? You're literally [edit: figuratively] flying in the face of... well, just about anyone who has any knowledge or expertise in the middle east. It also flies in the face of anyone with general knowledge: Two of Iran's m

This depends on a lot of things. For example, one thing you wrote that jumps out at me: > I already have a working model for the way that the code runs [...] This is not always true. It's only true for code that I wrote or know very

No, I don't say stupid things like that, and probably very few people ever said it (well, except critics of Israel claiming that Zionists said that). So to be clear, by "stole the land" you're only referring to the N

It's not simple math, because you're ignoring my point - that you don't actually know how often the tools are used in ways you find morally correct, because those don't get publicized. I'm not saying I have a clue

So there is literally nothing you can credit Israel for? It hasn't even achieved peace in your eyes - despite signing at-the-time historic peace agreements that ended decades-long wars with its neighbors - because that's just with
