I no longer see any point in this discussion. I will not argue with someone who sympathizes with the crimes of Hamas. Have a nice day.

“Werbeblocker verändern die Programmiercodes von Webseiten und greifen damit – wir meinen: urheberrechtswidrig – direkt in das verfassungsrechtlich geschützte Angebot von Medienunternehmen ein”

So so. Können wir mit dieser Begründung auch OpenAI und Co. verklagen, die mit ihren Webscrapern urheberrechtswidrig die Programmiercodes von Webseiten verändern? Mal ehrlich: sogar das FBI empfiehlt den Einsatz von Ad-Blockern. Außerdem sollten wir die nützlichen Helfer lieber Malware-Blocker nennen, denn genau das ist Werbung heutzutage meist.

Fighting against settler colonists who came and established an apartheid regime is not a crime.

But killing and kidnapping hundreds of innocent civilians is. You have to be clear about that, and also take a nuanced look at the whole conflict. There is no single good or bad side.

Apart from innocent Palestinians and Israelis (good) there are the terrorists (a.k.a. Hamas) who killed and kidnapped hundreds of civilians (bad). Then there is are the settlers, occupying land and terrorizing Palestinians (bad) with the help of the IDF. The Israeli government either looks away or even encourages them (bad). The IDF imprisons children, willingly destroys houses and infrastructure in Gaza and the west bank and executes “precision strikes” in areas of high population while also blocking humanitarian aid (bad).

I support chief investigator Khan’s arrest warrant for Netanjahu, Galant, Deif and Haniyya. Regarding the riots after trying to arrest nine IDF soldiers for abusing a Palestinian prisoner, it is obvious that Israel won’t be interested in a trial or at least not able to arrange one.

[…] an Israel that provided equal rights to all Muslims, Christians, and Jews living in its territory would be less related to the current state of Israel than modern South Africa is to Apartheid South Africa.

That is my dream. Just people living together peacefully, no matter their religion.

We learned about the displacement of Palestinians in school and it made me so angry. Great-grandchildren are being punished because their relatives (might) have fought against Israel back then. Aren’t the Israeli politicians realizing they are fueling the conflict by doing this? Well, I suppose that’s just what they want! (Please note that I am only criticizing the Israeli government, not Jews or Israel in general; you have to be very careful to not get accused of antisemitism where I live.)

P.S. I am from Germany, imagine new generations still had to suffer for the crimes the Nazis committed. That would be unforgiving and unjustified. It is our job to make sure this never happens again, though.

Wo wir schon bei der Bewertung der Arbeit sind, möchte ich noch auf die tölpelhafte Verwendung nicht typografisch korrekter, angloamerikanischer Anführungszeichen hinweisen. Vorbildlich wäre die Verwendung der Makros \glqq und \grqq beziehungsweise nach dem Einbinden der deutschen Sprache mittels \usepackage[ngerman]{babel} die folgende Schreibweise: "`..."'.

Oh yes, an update would be really interesting! (Even though I agree with @sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works in all points.)

My opinion on this whole topic: I don’t like the decision, a Free Software project should only prevent people from contributing in very rare occasions (e.g. having actively tried to sabotage the project). I don’t think this was the case, because I presume that the Linux Foundation was forced by the U.S. government to kick the maintainers out. The should’ve also communicated more clearly to prevent the confusion. (Russian trolls will cry out no matter how they phrased that.)

Edit: Depending on their power as a maintainer, they might be hired by intelligence and forced to just wave a backdoor through. With the Russian government waging a hybrid war against the U.S. and Europe, this poses a real problem.

Another Edit: @Allero@lemmy.today mentioned that apart from Russia, the U.S., Israel and China also have a very well funded intelligence service. So banning Russian maintainers because of a potential backdoor when there are American maintainers (which could be agents) as well? I don’t think it makes sense, but unfortunately the Linux Foundation won’t be able to resist the “complience requirements”.
