    Then should I suppose that killing civilians, men, women and children on the 7th of October was a way the peacefully resolve the issue? (Note that this also applies to the Israeli response since too).

    Both side has showed they have no intention of peacefully resolve the issue. They both know that their power depends on keeping the hate alive, and fuel each other perfectly.

    Not anymore, after being mostly whipped out by the Israeli military.

    Nor the Israeli government, or the Iran aligned armed groups (Hamas, Hezbollah) are worth of being supported, the only worthy side is those who wish for peaceful and respectful cohabitation.

    Palestinian doesn’t mean “hamas fighter”!

    That’s exactly what I mean by adding the Hamas fighter behind the Palestinian civilian, and not making him a Hamas fighter.

    You saw a drawing of a person holding a Palestine flag and you are writing about Hamas.

    Because Hamas is responsible as much as the Israeli government about the current situation. Putting a lone Palestinian here push the narrative that no one did anything wrong on their side, which isn’t true.

    Palestine and it’s people were there before Hamas and they will still be there long after Hamas and Israel is history.

    I hope so for Hamas, but for Israel it is more complicated. If there was a solution that would allow both side to live together as equal, I’d support it fully. But just making Israel disappear won’t resolve anything.

    Israel = genocide + apartheid

    Exactly. As would be a Palestinian state dominated by Hamas or its allies.

    Without the 7 of october, this comics would be right. But after that, adding a Hamas fighter with a Kalashnikov hiding behind the Palestinian civilian would be more accurate.

    The horrors Hammas did that day was cruel and inhuman, and so does the Israeli responce since then. In such a situations, it is difficult to chose a side.







  • Most of their justification is for sure bullshit, especially knowing how AI routinely “hallucinates” things (Firsthand, as I worked with MS/OpenAI AI for some POC projects).
    Their uses of AI isn’t to “better target terrorist”, it is to anesthetize their humanity, the same way a execution peleton ammunition are mostly blank, so none of them know who really killed the prisoner. And see the result. Tens of thousands of women and children killed, and no end of hostility in sight.
    This is no war, this is blind vengeance, and those in power in Israel as well as in Teheran keep fueling it in hope to stabilize their power.


  • Both sides are guilty of war crimes, and that bombing is a war crime in my opinion. Still, The Hezbollah have a lot of other option other than building bunkers under civilian building. If they can dig under that, they can dig under a mountain, a field, or anywhere else where their presence wouldn’t put others in danger.

    So tell me, other than using it as a shield, why dig a bunker under a civilian building ?

    There is a difference between being “near” and “under”.
    In the first case, unless your missile/bomb is shitty, you should be able to hit the target without collateral damages. On the second, except by telling in advance where you are gonna bomb, there is no way to avoid collateral damage. That a case where the population is used as human shield.

    Still, taking that into account, especially with the latest development in drones, Israel could have used a less destructive approach. But that would have required them to go out in the open, and I doubt they would. The only option left is to wait for another opportunity, or to go for it with their bunker buster bombs, despite all the collateral damage it would do. Considering the little respect Israel military has for Arabs lives, the answer was the later.


  • Funny since I’m rather pro palestinian, but let’s go with it.

    I take into account that I don’t know a lot of things as I’m not some sort of omnipotent being.

    Here is the data I got :

    On the Hezbollah, as they don’t have an habit of documenting their bases (for obvious reason), all I know is that it was in a densely inhabited area, and reportedly underground.
    So either it was built before this zone became densely populated, or it was built on a later date, knowing the area was densely inhabited.
    Either way, it is either negligence, if they allowed the population to encroach on what should be considered a military area, or knowingly, to use the population as shield. Unfortunately they are against an army that don’t care about killing innocents, so that was of no use.

    On the IDF side, according to Wikipedia, Camp Rabin is used as the IDF headquarters since 1948, at that time it was still an agricultural settlement in the periphery of Tel Aviv. This was seized from a Christian community, reportedly because they where nazi sympathizers, and they used to create the IDF HQ there.




  • From the term used I can easily determine you are more conservative than most here, and even if your comment got reported multiple time on the basis of rule 2, I’d like not to overreact and give you the occasion to develop a bit more your arguments by providing examples instead of just “its like that because I feel like it is like that”.

    So, could you please kindly provide, as other in this thread asked, example of :

    • Games where those “political” topics doesn’t belong
    • Review criticizing SpaceMarine 2 for not “pandering to LGBTQ”

    I believe this would help open a more open conversation than some politically opposite attacking each other personally.

    In my humble opinion, Games being a work of art as much as it is an entertainment, it is up to the creator to chose what kind of story it want to talk about.
    Does they want to talk about how the LGBTQ community, which has been oppressed for a long time, in their game ? Fine by me, at lease I can have some insight from the viewpoint of someone of this community, albeit virtual, to better understand said topic.
    Those topics where not talked at all previously, so of course it would feel like it becomes a lot more present in the last years, just by contrast with the absence of it in previous titles. It is also a brand new storytelling topic on which game designer have very little experience with, so it is logical for it to be talked about awkwardly at time (thus the need for specialized consulting firm like Sweet Baby Inc), with some very obvious stitches at times. Just give them time to understand how to blend it better in the story and gameplay, and you’ll get the fun games you wish for, with a diverse cast you won’t even have to complain about.
