matcha_addict,

If I am packaging software for gentoo, all I have to do is translate the build instructions from the project’s documentation to gentoo’s package recipe. In nix, it seems that it is not that simple and you’ll have to do some exploration. Am I wrong?

matcha_addict,

So that means packaging software for nix is a pain, compared to, say, gentoo or arch’s AUR, but only for a small subset of packages.

I’ll keep this in mind as I’m exploring if I should switch from Gentoo.

Foot terminal on wayland, wezterm on MacOS

matcha_addict,

makes me care less

What has your hesitant caring (if even true) achieved before? Is there anything lost that we should worry about?

We actually much rather you take a step back and leave us. Please start by telling your governments to gtfo of Middle east and stop all intervention. We don’t want you.

matcha_addict,

Imagine how things may go if Israel attempted to use Jews as human shields against Hamas.

You mean like putting many settlements and civilians right on the border of Gaza, a concentration camp and active war Zone? Or allowing a rave dance to occur at the gates of a concentration camp and active war zone, and next to a military base that would be targeted by Hamas? And sprinkle in some IDF tanks while you’re at it.

Wait, we don’t have to imagine it.

matcha_addict,

I hope more of you fake nuanced people go back to Reddit.

“bro please bro it’s complicated bro you can’t oppose apartheid bro have you not considered it’s complicated bro? Please bro you have to maintain status quo”

matcha_addict, (edited )

The one where specifically civilians are targets.

Ahh, so Israel then. I thought you meant Hamas.

The one that that uses hospitals and elementary schools and civilian apartments as rocket launch sites.

Hmmm that’s very highly specific of a definition, and still happens to be Israel.

The one that explicitly calls for the complete destruction of the other state in its charter.

Ok well I guess this one is Hamas alright. Not really terrorism to seek the downfall of an apartheid state.

matcha_addict,

You didn’t have to draw anything to let me know that you can’t state your argument directly. I already suspected.

matcha_addict,

Given Israel’s rhetoric, they are literally letting us know the number will climb much higher. But the West is too busy condemning Hamas, and will sponsor yet another genocide in the modern era.

matcha_addict,

Hamas wanted to kill as many citizens of Israel as possible

Source?

This is false. Hamas is not free of criticism, they did commit needless killing of civilians, but their main target remains the IDF. This is contrasted with Israel, whose target is civilians.

Even the music festival was located right next to the Re’im base. The festival itself had Israeli gunned men and tanks. Again, I do not condemn the civilians needlessly killed by some Hamas members, but the operation’s target was the military.

matcha_addict,

I agree with you that it needs to be clarified further. While I think it is still “resistance” in the sense that it was done with the intention to resist occupation and all what Israel does, I do agree that civilians died that didn’t need to, and it did not lead to positive results.

When you live your whole life in a concentration camp and get bombed almost daily, you may lose some rationality and start justifying more things in the name or resistance. Ultimately I blame Israel for putting them in this situation, and putting civilians so close to their border.

In the end, my whole point is that Hamas attack must not justify a response from Israel. It should lead us to pull back instead.

matcha_addict,

Oh so all those people at the peace rally were not civilians.

Yeah not all of them. This was a rave dance held at the gates of a concentration camp, with many armed personnel and tanks in sight, and minutes from the Gaza division Re’im base.

I’d also love to know which elementary schools and hospitals Israel is using as a base to launch rockets into

There are plenty of examples. Tel Aviv has dozens of military bases near dense residential areas and even hospitals. This is very easily verifiable on Google maps, and articles have been written on this. Here’s an example:

Hospital: maps.app.goo.gl/CyAaK7u78fNQJNt17

Military bases: maps.app.goo.gl/LKF8rFcrEC7cqQzA8maps.app.goo.gl/eETyujgrr7bjjL629maps.app.goo.gl/TMVvK6SZ4wn4NNui9

Israel can very easily afford not to do this. Gaza is the 2nd - 3rd most densely populated area in the world, only 12 km in width. It is a concentration camp.

matcha_addict,

I would not equate the too. Not to mention, Israel sponsored Hamas.

matcha_addict,

Nope. It began in late 19th century at the earliest.

matcha_addict,

Why lump Palestinians with what corrupt governments installed by the West (like Israel) hundreds if not thousands of kilometers away have done?

We already know how Palestinians treated Jewish migrations prior to Israel’s creation. When Europe was persecuring jews, Palestinians were teaching Jewish refugees how to farm (because in many parts of Europe, they weren’t allowed to).

But your “we have to massacre Palestinians, because what if we don’t, have you not considered they may massacre us too???!!”. This colonial mindset is nonsensical.

matcha_addict,

I did not mean literally every written rule of Israel. I obviously do not have the bandwidth to read them all. But Israel’s policy against Palestinians is that. I’m sure you knew what I meant.

matcha_addict,

But I’m afraid this idea has no traction.

But it’s supported by most Palestinians!

matcha_addict,

What definition of “terrorist” are we using here by which Israel isn’t 100x more terrorist?

matcha_addict,

We can critique Hamas AND the Israeli government / IDF

I already addressed this argument above. If you think my argument wasn’t sufficient or there’s anything wrong with it, please address it directly. Otherwise, I don’t know what to tell you besides restate the same.

We can feel for Palestinian civilians even as we feel for Israeli citizens.

Absolutely. I hope you’re not implying that I said the opposite.

matcha_addict,

Disagreeing with any force of resistance to apartheid is a support for apartheid, even if you don’t explicitly spell it out.

“man I sure hate the massacre, but don’t you dare fight back! That’s just as bad!”

matcha_addict,

If we had to spend our energy critiquing something, Palestinian resistance is the last thing you should critique. Their damage is miniscule compared to what Israel has done, and they’re still far more humane. At the very least, the operation’s target was military installations, encampments and officials. Israel’s target is civilians themselves.

This isn’t to deny that civilians died in crossfire or even needlessly killed. Hamas is not an organized state nor a hive mind, and after living their whole lives in a concentration camp, it’s a miracle that only a minority of their fighters engage in needless killing of civilians who were rave dancing at the gates of their concentration camp.

Can I critique it? Sure, I wish it didn’t happen. But I blame Israel for taking us this far. If it wasn’t for Israel, we wouldn’t have had so many people living in constant war and massacre their entire lives for hate to brew in their hearts. To live with either two choices: wait in suffocating conditions for your death to come, or resist.
