From tech perspective, technology builders now need to be extra aware how it’s used.
Is releasing the next autonomous algo/library worth it?, if the US department of war with their friends can use that tech to kill more people.
Especially when more and more weapons become autonomous. Targets are chosen based on LLM hallucinations.
In 2026, we are the baddies.
More than tech we need to vote to reign in the Department of War spending. It will be the death of American Empire.
The white cells meant to protect, have become cancerous.
If the US–Iran front of the war is relevant for hn I don't see why the Israel–Lebanon one wouldn't.
The Independent seems to have gone to garbage for n recent years, sadly.
Let them buy all the defensive weapons they can afford, Iron Dome, etc.
I think US gives them the weapons otherwise, they don't even buy them? No more.
It is insanity to let them just kill whomever they want whenever they want as many as they want
Israel has a right to exist but not kill thousands of innocent people
They also have universal healthcare while US never will because we've spent $21 Trillion since 9/11 on militarization, adding another trillion this year and now have to replace all the tomahawks etc
Countries don't have any "right to exist", this very term is thought terminating propaganda created by Israel. Israel does not have a right to exist, countries either are, or aren't. People have a right to live.
And as it stands, Israel is a terrorist nation commiting war crimes and a genocide daily.
"Defensive" weapons also do not exist. If you give Israel weapons, or sell them weapons, you are complicit in their actions.
Exactly. I always struggled with this (which is the desired effect) until I heard Francesca Albanese give this exact answer.
There is no right to exist for a country under international law, but there is a right to live for people.
Israelis forced themselves in stolen, colonised land, settled with violence, used the weapons of the western colonizers against local populations and actively worked to destroy every attempt at peaceful cooperation that there has ever been, member of Israel's current government having actively called for the murder of Rabin and might very well be directly involved in it. Israel has made it so that the situation effectively ends with either Israelis dying, or the whole region dying.
>Uses the age old "hurr actually the name Palestine was Judea"
Ok Mossad. Israel attacked Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Egypt, Jordan, is a terrorist country and doesn't have the right to exist. Israel is the one killing Palestinians and Lebanese citizens right now.
(PS: you know people see through when you post 50 prepared paragraphs of Zionist propaganda, right?)
You're going down to name calling. Not insulted. Just shows you have no independent thought process or the ability to separate historical fact from fiction.
> Israel attacked Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Egypt, Jordan
When?
In 1947? Nope.
In 1967 when they surrounded Israel and tried to destroy it? Yep.
Got over it though and made peace with those who are able to make it. Gave back more territory (relatively to its size) than pretty much any non-empire in history.
> Israel is the one killing Palestinians and Lebanese citizens right now.
That's a very broad statement. But yes, people are dying. It's indeed horrible. Israelis also died in this ongoing war and before it. This war didn't start out of a void. It started because of people like you who refuse to accept that Israel is here. As long as you live under that delusion and keep attacking, Israel will keep fighting back and getting more right-wing.
I don't want that. The solution is for both sides to calm the f*ck down. De-legitimizing it doesn't help.

Right, sure. I'm a bot.
Let go of the confirmation bias for a second and think, maybe you might be wrong. Maybe you're hurting the people you pretend to care about. Maybe you're not a white savior but rather a chaos agent working for Iran and Putin.
Palestinians in Israel in general have full citizenship and rights and as far as I am aware lives relatively well integrated. My experience is from before the mass murdering on 7th October and the following cruel war so things might have changed though.
