> What doors are you imagining wealth can close?

I think it’s more about the opportunity cost of prioritizing wealth

> once you’re out of the grind, the world is your oyster

That’s true but I don’t think you really need $10B to escape the grind, that’s more of a “huge bank account number” kind of amount

> Basically seems like a principle guaranteed to cause children of rich people to grow up entitled

I think the point is too make sure that kids don’t have a dramatic drop in their quality of life as a result of a divorce which (in my opinion) makes sense

No because the reason the Palestinians are mad is because Israel is violating international law. It’s like telling the husband if he stops beating his wife he’ll stop getting arrested

I guess a better analogy would be the Germans complaining about the British bombing them in WWII.

(Although Russia has claimed that Ukraine has staged drone attacks in Russia: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/12/05/europe/russia-ukraine-mis...)

I’ll take a stab at it:

I don’t think people are saying Israel shouldn’t defend themselves, it’s more about why the strikes are happening in the first place. It’s like if Russia built a giant defense system to keep out Ukrainian missiles. The problem isn’t that they’re defending themselves it’s what they’re doing to provoke it.

As for why the attacks are happening, like you said it s a very complicated issue. But in essence Israel has kicked a bunch of Palestinians out of their homes and illegally annexed their land, in violation of international law. They’ve also continued to violate the human rights of the Palestinians that remain.

Rust has a far more powerful and widely used macro system then JS but I don’t think that means rust devs are trying to avoid writing rust at all costs
