Good rage bait
It's kind of ironic given how much USA is censoring content based on their interest.

TLDR:

USA should be allowed to use 0 days for their "counter" terrorism operations. This is interesting at the time of USA being complicit in a genocide against a community.

Flagged again, as expected ¯\_ (ツ) _/¯ . HN moderators are complicit in the genocide!

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38691198 This post got flagged despite not being offtopic. An encyclopedia being accused of siding with perpetrators of genocide is not a small thing. Remember the coverage of Ukraine war here.
But still there is a good chance that this will get flagged since there are HN admins who still deny genocide.

If we go by the number of civilians who got killed and the loss of infrastructure, You can compare the impact of 9/11 and the so called counter operation. Assuming you consider value of civilian life is same for a US citizen and a non US citizen.

Regarding PTSD, don't you think Palestinians are in much worse position? Even if you killed every single Hamas member, relatives of those who are murdered during this genocide will attempt revenge in future right?

Or is starving everyone to death so that there won't be any vengeance is the strategy?

When two neighbours, who genuinely believe that their neighbour will kill them if they get a chance, peace is hard and time consuming task, especially when they have wounds that will take decades to heal.

The least human thing to do there is to stop causing more wounds, as UN secretary general said, Oct 7 wasn't happened from the vaccuum.

Used double quotes because neither IDF nor Hamas are declared as terrorist organisation by UN. That doesn't the actions of these organisations though.

If Israel can kill someone in Iran with targeted missile, they are capable of doing the same in Palestine as well. Instead of doing that, they are carpet bombing Palestine, and they are totally aware that only handful of "Hamas" members gets killed in their attack.

They also de-humanise entire Palestinians, not just Hamas stright from Hitlar's playbook and that makes it genocide. It is not a fancy word, it is an unfortunate reality.

Also you are shifting blame of a failed government in Israel to people of Palestine

There is no surprise in not taking journalists as source from a side who murder journalists. But let's keep that aside

- Why does Palestines are restricted from using their own water?

- Why does Israely military rules apply on Palestine?

- How does Palestinian citizens are responsible for the failure of Israely government of precise and targeted attack?

- Why does Israely government including the prime minister dehumanising the Palestinian citizens reminding of exact strategy of Hitlar?

- Why does Israely government not interested in getting their citizens back and take that opportunity for a war ?

Being pushed to the corner and that is a licence to do that horrible things is a dangerous argument, similar argument is used by Hamas. Similar argument was raised by Hitler and he convinced significant part of German population that Jews are evil, and they need to be eliminated for the safety of Germany.

Such arguments bring humanity back to stone age.

Take control over all water sources, electricity and disconnect it, ask people to leave their house without even enough food and destroy whatever they have gained during the life time. And still bomb them claiming that location they moved has military targets. https://www.aljazeera.com/gallery/2023/8/27/photos-palestini... (pre Oct 7)
Re:The destruction of Gaza's internet is complete on Friday October 27, 2023 @09:39PM (#38046245)
These are definitely valid criticisms against Hamas, But how does that even remotely justify Israel? How does armed gang storming your house and killing you is different than bombing? Will it be less painful death?

You want to take the claims about rape and mutilation though there weren't any proofs given till date, but doubt the number of people killed on Gaza despite all the names are published?

If your only solution to beat a "terrorist" organization is to be bigger evil than them talks about the weakness of your government, not a blanket justification to commit genocide.

Tell your senator to not use your taxes to fund a genocide.

Except it was just a an eyewash, people tried to move got killed on the way, people also got murdered in the so called safe areas by Israel.
