I one heard ast describe Linux’s code quality as ‘marginal’ (presumably speaking of the kernel)

Of course, it was ast talking at BSDCan but still, harsh words from a master.

And then Bibi said he disrespected the memory of 6 million Jews.

No, Bibi. You did that. You’ve been doing it for years. May God judge you. After you die in a cell.

Ya know what word has lost all meaning? “Antisemetic.” Last I heard it wasn’t defined as “anything the current government of Israel disagrees with.” But the current government sure wants it to be defined that way. I wonder how those who have actually faced antisemetism feel about it.

Well it certainly isn’t what Israel wanted, which was for the ICJ to throw out the case and say “what, the Jews are doing genocide? Don’t be silly!”

But they didn’t say that which of course means they have an antisemetic bias.

Because of all these brain damaged fuckwits tying their cultural identity to a corrupt government.

I think you’re being censored not for your views but the way you present them.

You misunderstand or you’re being intentionally obtuse.

No, I am not interested in a discussion with you, only in making the observation that your comment prompted.

Bigotry is bigotry no matter the angle.

Yes. They should also produce a video showing what Israel’s bombardment of Gaza would look like if it were aimed at Seoul.

My parents’ is called Hair Brain (they have pets)

Maybe they’ll put up a nice memorial in Tel Aviv like the Denkmal für die ermordeten Juden Europas in Berlin.

“But it is foundational for Canada to stand up for people’s rights, for people’s safety, and for the rule of law. And that’s what we’re going to do.”

Except when the local Indigenous population tries to prevent resource extraction on their land, but nevermind that.

(also, for the record, the last residential school closed in 1997, not the 70s. Off topic, but I am not at all a fan of Canada.)

I didn’t say that Canada is immune to bigotry or genocide. I even made reference to the genocide that Canada committed, and I would talk at length about it, if it werent off topic.

But Canada is a moderate enough country that – again – I doubt a song with such dehumanizing lyrics against a group of people would ever be a hit in modern Canada. Nothing about my statement claims there is no bigotry or genocide in Canada. It is more of a statement of just how much bigotry and acceptance of genocide there must be in Israel for a song like “Charbu Darbu” to be a #1 hit.

What you are saying is the US vetoed it because they accept the false dichotomy in the Israeli narrative of the situation.

Hamas is nothing compared to Israel’s military. If Hamas’s goal is the destruction of Israel, then this has been their most effective campaign by far. I, too, didn’t think much about Israel one way or the other but this conflict has opened my eyes.

Boycotting Israeli products is one of the only things you can do, since the US government seems complicit.

Somebody mentioned that there are fight songs popular in my country as well. It seems like the post was deleted, and I only just got home, so I didn’t have a chance to look up more than one of the songs they listed, which was a White Stripes song, but the whole thing struck me as a false equivalence, since my country’s soldiers are not blowing the crap out of civilians and using those songs as a soundtrack for tiktok videos of them doing it. Also, I seriously doubt a song that contains such dehumanizing language about a specific group of people would become a hit in modern Canada. And finally, I have no love for Canada. They did their own genocide, but that’s not the current topic. So, calling false equivalence on a post that was deleted. Guess I’m ‘that guy’ 🤷

I dont know any of those songs.’

I’m sure Israeli Jews are taught about the Holocaust. As a public-school educated kid in Canada, I was from grade 6 onward. School trips to Holocaust museums, theatre performances of Diary of Ann Frank, watched Schindler’s List I don’t know how many times when the teacher wasn’t there. That or Jurassic Park or the Mask. Weird, I know. Took lots of notes so I could pass my tests.

I wonder if Israel’s right wing establishment was also taking notes when they studied the Holocaust, and why.

From the article: [Israeli soldiers] often use the Israeli hit song Charbu Darbu, which has lyrics such as “We’ve brought the whole army and I swear there will be no forgiveness,” and “every dog gets what he deserves in the end.”

That’s a hit song in Israel, is it? How dreadful.
