This seems inconsistent with previous overwhelming thought that Israel wants to kill Palestine completely. Killing that many people that fast (in a course of just a few months) would not let it last for too long in the end.

Also, is there evidence of Israel being a dictatorship? Is there an opposition that is being threatened or killed or something?

rdri ,

One person? That's not an opposition. Where is the opposition movement? Where are oppressed citizens?

rdri ,

I don't think we have the same understanding of dictatorship. Dictatorship can't be hidden to the point of being only apparent to special people. It should be obvious to everyone and especially citizens affected (oppressed) by it. So far I'm not seeing any evidence of that.

Software/game DRM/anticheat (as a service/product) that involves code obfuscation and/or kernel driver.

rdri ,

I haven't played cod for at least 10 years I think.

rdri ,

Denuvo also prevents easy modding in many cases, causes issues on top of increasing system requirements. Valorant cheats possibility destroys the purpose of the system. But at least valorant anticheat is not being sold as a service to other devs I think.

rdri ,

Imagine how much resources hamas spent on keeping these hostages and how many lives could be saved if they just released them all before the ground operation was started.

rdri ,

The fact is they could have accepted any number of ceasefire deals to release these hostages, but they chose to keep murdering more

And the fact that hamas could have released them all before the operation was even started.

rdri ,

I don't think it matters how you call them. If you want to label a party bad by calling them terrorists - it's your choice.

I know that Israel is able to take care of their own people. Hamas is incapable of that and is willing to kill Palestinians in order to bring any damage to another party. It's understandable that Israel started the ground operation (maybe not how it goes now, but still). It's illogical to say that hamas did the right thing with the October 7 events, already because it was obviously useless for their cause.

rdri ,

Yeah. October 7 surely didn't make them start working on that, did it?

rdri ,

Even more reason to release them all then, and I'm appalled by how hamas was that stupid to not realize that.

rdri ,

when they essentially live in an apartheid state.

Didn't prevent them from being able to take care of Palestinians instead of building missiles.

Israeli government you’re defending for decades now.

What

Go have a look at maps over the decades of how much land has been stolen

Yeah, and how exactly hamas changes that?

Notice how I said both sides were terrorists and you only want to focus on one side.

All I see is people focusing on calling Israel a monster.

rdri ,

I repeat: that violence did not serve the purpose and it was never meant to. It's useless to justify their actions based on their sufferings alone. It's obvious hamas never seeked anything except violence.

rdri ,

You understand. It happened apropos, not in order to solve problems.

rdri ,

What leverage? You're saying hostages are needed to save hamas members? Well that seems to be working pretty well huh? Remind me again why they were taken in the first place?

You should become a negotiator.

What negotiations? It was a perfect opportunity to show that your cause is a good one, and not to Israel. Instead they kept the hostages... For what purpose? To have "leverage"? Well let's see how that will help them with anything. Maybe there will be more news about released hostages that you could again associate with Israel trying to release its civilians, not with hamas doing right things.

rdri ,

Start reading what you're replying to, please.

rdri ,

Trying my best as a non-native. Feel free to hate my way of speaking.

rdri ,

Everything hamas did was useless for Palestinians. Israel isn't stopping because they have the ability. Hamas doesn't, they won't win in a military fight and hostages are useless for them. They could start doing something proper like releasing hostages (woyild decrease support for Israel hugely) but they won't because they think it would help them survive (not even Palestinians).

Hamas had a chance to increase its abilities over time, but instead they chose to spend resources on useless attacks.

rdri , (edited )

entirely expected

I could say the same about the ground operation.

They've never had as much international support as they do now.

Not sure if that really helps, also the price was too high. In fact, I really doubt they had that scenario in mind.

rdri ,

Keeping hostages is going to help them with that, surely. (Not)

rdri ,

Someone's argument above stated that Israel was not going to stop even if all hostages are released. Now you are saying that hostages are a real need for a peace deal. It almost seems like someone is running out of reasons to keep them.

We could also argue if a peace deal (aka keeping the hostages) will be worth all the victims. Or we could just admit that the only way hamas is ever going to use hostages is to try to keep themselves alive.

    rdri ,

    So far all the hostages have died from actions by Israel

    Some keep ignoring the part where people became hostages.

    rdri ,

    retaliation against a foreign nation conducting genocide against you for 70 years is not only justified and easy to understand, but fucking commendable

    A retaliation that results in a predictable extermination is not commendable, it's stupid. Instead of spending resources on rockets they should've spent them on building universities that would help them better understand the situation and possible ways to deal with it effectively.

    Oh wait, I'm being stupid. Rockets and terrorism all the way it is! Because it's easier and you get many internet points for calling it a "retaliation".

    rdri ,

    The inherent problem with your argument

    Problem with yours is what I already pointed out. You applaud people for doing terrorism (aka killing themselves). You refuse their ability to not jump knowingly into a bear trap with their both legs.

    have tried diplomatic solutions in the past

    Either they didn't try hard enough or they could find non-diplomatic solutions. Better ones than doing terrorism (aka killing themselves).

    If you accept someone saying the only way out of their situation was doing terrorism (aka killing themselves) then you are not a smart human being.

    rdri ,

    So you are blaming the the collective punishment on those receiving the collective punishment?

    I blame people who did unnecessary stupid things that they knew would cause them to suffer even more. They are not smart. If they were smart they wouldn't do it that way.

    If Hamas killing women and children is wrong, is Israeli killing several times more not?

    It's wrong but they did not start this aggression without reason, and they know they are not suicidal.

    It takes two willing parties to negotiate

    Sigh. How else should I put it? Don't do diplomacy if you think you are smart (hamas clearly aren't) and already tried everything. Do terrorism. But please do it in a way that would actually benefit your cause. In a way that would not make them start another ground operation. I dunno, maybe try to not take hostages and not stream your murders for once? Or maybe release the hostages and surrender god damn it (it should even be possible to keep your lives by surrendering to a 3rd party instead). That would at least send a message to the world and maybe even save a lot of Palestinians.

    labeling someone a terrorist

    I didn't do that here. They are just idiots.

    rdri ,

    So you think those thousands of women and children were part of the decision to attack Israel?

    No, it's somewhat irrelevant. I'm not saying it's okay to bomb those people.

    Please look up how many Palestinian civilians have been killed by military actions vs Israeli

    What do you expect exactly? That I would say "oh so Israel lost much less people in the October 7 attack than Palestinians in XX years, so it should just do nothing"? History doesn't matter when it's about specific decisions with predictable consequences, and the fact that those could be avoided in the first place. Don't cut the branch you are sitting on.

    They're have already been several attempts by whatever is left over of Hamas to surrender/cease fire

    How difficult it is to release hostages and surrender? I think just one attempt would suffice. Is it difficult because some of them refuse to agree that this is the simplest and fastest way to try to save Palestinians and show everyone they can work on their mistakes?

    You've called them terrorists the whole time

    My primary complain is their stupidity. They are people. They can learn. Maybe they will stop being terrorists if they do that, I can't know. But they surely aren't helping their fellow Palestinians as is.

    rdri ,

    You've already blamed them and called them all terrorists....

    I did not call women and children that, you're lying or imagining things.

    it didn't occur in a vacuum.

    It wasn't effective and they knew it wouldn't be.

    Again, these people are in a giant concentration camp.

    You can't escape or shut down a concentration camp like that. That's my point.

    Because Israel has already stated they won't negotiate for the hostage release, they don't want the hostages.

    Funny. If that's true (and I know it isn't) then there is no use in keeping hostages anymore. Release them and let the world see how Israel doesn't want to stop even after that. Also stop wasting resources on them. Win-win.

    There are a few cells left in hiding, but the organization has no control over the Palestinian population.

    Who keeps those hostages then?

    to support war criminals

    No. What they are doing is war crimes and all criminals should be prosecuted. Israeli are much more likely to meet that simply because they are a part of a system that can take care of their citizens. And if not, I hope at least enough people will remember that for the sake of future generations (similar to how Americans remember what they did to Japan). On the other hand, hamas has no chance to get any such treatment (simply because they are not fans of proper justice-related systems) and it should be rightfully hated by all Palestinians for their actions and decisions. Unless hamas suddenly gets smarter and starts to care about Palestinians. That would surprise me, and in a positive way.

    create hamas

    That's not how it works.

    The reason Netanyahu chose Hamas as his enemy

    That's also a strange take. He did not choose the ones who arranged the October 7 attack. Same with tons of rockets they built and sent to Israel.

    now I knew what they smelled like.

    Signal is not applicable when you need a public space for people to just have a discussion, like in discord. Signal clients are clunky and rely on cross sync from what I see, while telegram clients are well made and convenient to use. Even Whatsapp went away from electron so I'd choose it over signal any day.

    UN votes to back Palestinian membership, prompting Israeli envoy to shred charter ( www.theguardian.com )

    The UN general assembly has voted overwhelmingly to back the Palestinian bid for full UN membership, in a move that signalled Israel’s growing isolation on the world stage amid global alarm over the war in Gaza and the extent of the humanitarian crisis in the strip. The move drew an immediate rebuke from Israel. Its envoy to...

    rdri ,

    Israel has been committing war crimes for 7 months straight now.

    Why only 7 months and not more? Did something change Israel's intentions to spend more time on commiting war crimes?

    I could say hamas has been commiting war crimes for years now. Would that be wrong?

    At this point I'm not sure if crypto miner would consume more resources (and thus have a bigger impact) than denuvo.

    rdri ,

    That's the point of iron dome system. It only shoots down rockets that would otherwise hit targets that would cost more to rebuild/restore. At least that's the case with hamas rockets - they are predictable enough. Drones are a different story.

    rdri ,

    It's cool while it works. But these options are not going to be provided forever in newer hardware. Recent example I saw is the absense of AHCI option in new laptops (you now need additional drivers just to reinstall Windows manually). We need to keep developing software solutions to software problems.

    Is arguing "The west does not just send weapons. Europe also helps Ukraine in other ways" nationalism? ( lemmy.dbzer0.com )

    I got banned from "World News @ lemmy.ml" because of “Nationalism”, because I argued that especially Europe does not just send weapons to Ukraine, but does also support Ukraine with the injured, with money and with a perspective after the war… My comment got deleted, too…...

    rdri ,

    Too much projection here. Russia is not similar to Israel in this regard, it's similar to hamas. Russia didn't need this "moment", Putin did. Rocket and tank attacks are not related to the reaction to this event, they are completely parallel and would have happened anyway, just as many previous similar attacks show.

    rdri ,

    Nah it uses lies and fears for that. Real tragedies for Russians are mostly a result of Putin's own failures and idiotic actions and don't help much since people are forced to believe his narrative long before those happen. His 24th Feb is basically hamas' 7th Oct.

    rdri ,

    Link to the original report there shows 404 error.

    In case it matters, current report comes from The Insider - media created by Russian dissidents.

    rdri ,

    The investigation here heavily relies on series of coincidences between travel records of Russian agents and accidents history.

    rdri ,

    This particular investigation was underway for 3 years. If your only argument is LOL then I guess it's not use in suggesting you to read it.

    A Russian Defector’s Killing Raises Specter of Hit Squads ( www.nytimes.com )

    Mr. Kuzminov defected from Russia to Ukraine last summer, flying his Mi-8 military helicopter into Ukrainian territory and handing the aircraft along with a cache of secret documents to Ukrainian intelligence operatives. In doing so, he committed the one offense President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia has said again and again he...

    rdri ,

    I mean it's silly to assume his whereabouts would remain secret if he didn't do that.
