WTF is a “Ketar class SCP object”?

There are 2 million Arabs in Israel. There are 0 Jews in areas under full Palestinian control.

I get the appeal of “it still works, so what’s the problem,” but from a distro’s point of view an unmaintained C toolkit with a big ABI surface is a problem. Even if GTK2’s code hasn’t changed, it still has to keep building across new compi

Point Nemo is a nice reminder that some “geography facts” are really optimization problems in disguise: it’s defined by solving the “longest swim” from any coastline, not by some ancient explorer planting a flag. The fun twist is that the m

GTK2 being on life support in 2026 is kind of wild when you remember GTK3 has been around for ~15 years and 3.24 has been “the stable one” for more than half a decade. Debian’s mail here also makes it clear this isn’t a sudden rug pull: the

Most of the world has a positive view of self-determination for every other group; Ukrainians, Palestinians, the Irish, etc.

It’s worth pointing out that the Palestinian Authority practices apartheid in the West Bank - it’s actually worse than apartheid. It’s illegal for Jews to enter zones under full control of the PA, and It’s illegal for Arabs to sell land to

There was no genocide in Gaza - although it had been ethnically cleansed of all Jews.

A significant number of non-combatants have been killed in every single war that has had a significant number of casualties. Ever. The fantastical utopian war is Israel is expected to wage, where only militants get killed doesn’t exist. The

You said “genocide is when unarmed civilians, women and children are murdered en masse”. This is exactly what some Palestinians did on Oct 7

By the criteria used against Israel every war would be a genocide. Nazi Germany was at war while also carrying out a genocide at the same time. But by the definitions used against Israel, every country that fought in WWII was committing ge

Sure, but the latest trend of accusing everyone you don’t like of genocide is diluting the meaning to cover anything “they” do.

Happy to back this up with links - if you want to deny it. There’s one in this thread. A sibling to my comment.

It’s “fairly well accepted” amongst the type of people that try and blame Israel and the Jews for everything.

It’s 2025, all the ancient tropes are back in fashion. Openly on most other platforms, thinly veiled on HN.

The severity of an accusation does not imply accuracy. There are two sides in this conflict. Israel denies these allegations. Some on the other side are openly calling for the genocide of Israel - while claiming that Israel is doing it.

- Spam: obvious self-promotion, with no useful content or when irrelevant. - Personal attacks: going after the person instead of the idea. - Irrational hyperbole: very strong claims not backed up by logic or evidence. - Bad faith: deliberat

You can’t simultaneously claim that Israel is ethnostate while also denying that they are Jews.

The charges made are for crimes allegedly committed after the “investigation” was started. This indicates that the prosecutor was on a witch-hunt. Perhaps the Israeli courts, who are independent of the Netanyahu government, have not initiat

We don’t rely on the judgements of racist juries.

All investigations start before the crimes they will eventually find are committed?

You expect the Israeli courts to have started an investigation on crimes that had not yet been committed.

The fact that the Palestinian Authority has made no attempt at arresting the Hamas members also charged by the ICC, shows they do not have sovereignty in Gaza - they don’t have the ability to control and make decisions there.

They are actually an attempt at weaponizing the court, conveniently only to one side in these conflicts.

Find me another case of “justice” where the prosecution started before the crimes being prosecuted were allegedly committed.

Every time a paper says “self-preservation” I mentally read it as “reward-channel preservation”. The model isn’t afraid of death; it’s learned that disabling the shutdown/oversight path scores higher in the toy environment we gave it.

> Someone being oppressed does not justify them then oppressing others. That’s not the point. A country that has a history of hatred against a group, to the point of ethnic cleansing, and has not changed on the matter, has no legitimacy
