It's not some guy, it's the CEO of HN/YC blocking a YC founder.

Which is normally a very bad thing, but during a genocide it's a million times worse. I think a lot of people can feel that they're not allowed to say something right now that they should probably say, or at least be allowed to say.

Yes, a blockade: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockade_of_the_Gaza_Strip

Yes, Nakba was an ethnic cleansing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakba

Yes, they sniped peaceful protesters at the March of Return: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018%E2%80%932019_Gaza_border_...

I encourage people to read these links for themselves.

Israel has a land, air and sea blockade on Gaza. The residents of Gaza are second generation refugees from the cities that Israel ethnically cleansed in Nakba in 1948. Israel also bombed Gaza's only airport. Israel has routinely murdered, sniped, arrested and abused all forms of non-violent protest such as the March of Return.

Step one would be to end the apartheid state of Israel. Very much how South Africa ended its apartheid state. Nothing can happen until everyone has the same status regardless of ethnicity or religion.

I don't know how many times you need to hear it, that is those people's home. You cannot kick people off of their home, even if you think it's "good for them".

The Native Americans definitely had the right to fight back against occupation and did famously on many occasions. Sadly they were successfully ethnically cleansed from the land.

The Palestinians are 75 years into the process of colonization and ethnic cleansing. They are actively resisting, as would anyone.

If they're coordinating with Israel or making it so Israel can take Gaza, it is.

Well, you would be wrong:

A (further) removal of Palestinians from their land is the definition of ethnic cleansing, so no I would hope they wouldn't be supporting that.

No, when capital coordinates people get worried and rightfully so. There are a lot of non Jewish Zionists, just as there are a lot of Jewish non-Zionists. In our industry, the VCs are overwhelmingly Zionist while the rest of the industry is non-Zionist and it's the Zionists that are getting people fired and blacklisted.

If I'm ever fired for taking a pro-Palestinian stance, I will spend the rest of my life suing everyone involved. The capital community has crossed so many lines in their witch hunt for pro-Palestinan voices that it's not even funny. Our industry has reached a breaking point and I'm not sure what's going to happen since most of the VCs are extremely pro-Zionism and a huge portion of people under the age of 45 are pro-Palestinian, including most engineers and tech people I know.

The best outcome is ethnic cleansing? No, the only acceptable outcome is right of return for all of the Palestinian refugees.

Not that I know of but you can translate it in your browser.

Everything questioning Israel is getting flagged:

We also need to do away with anti-BDS laws and the new push to legally conflate anti-Israel speech with antisemitism.

> the only country you complain about is the only one with human rights in the Middle East

As a US citizen, I fund Israel and I will complain about their actions since they make me culpable in their human rights violations (of which there are many, well documented).

This isn't a normal situation. It's happened relentlessly for every even remotely critical post about Israel. It's something that need to be addressed.

AI being used to identify war targets is definitely relevant though. Why wouldn't it be?

For context, I discovered this link because Paul Graham retweeted it earlier today:

So I really do think it's relevant to HN.

Having an apartheid state as a customer is and should always be a liability. Every single tech company should be divesting of Israel and removing any offices they may have there.

> muslims' characteristic style of graphic violence

I think it's this type of rhetoric and thinking that young people are generally against. You malign an entire religion and call them violent. It's also hypocritical considering how many people the west has violently murdered.

I think you need to read up on Nakba. Israel is the invading force since 1948.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakba

Nakba was an ethnic cleansing:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_cleansing

> One side is trying to minimise civilian causalities

Israel has been ethnically cleansing the Palestinians since 1948. They most definitely are not minimizing civilian casualties. They're maximizing them within the parameters that their US backing will allow.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakba

That's completely incorrect. Every war has been the result of Israel invading Palestine in 1948 and ethnically cleansing the land. There's a reason Right of Return is the big issue here. Nakba is where the conversation about Israel's aggression needs to start:
