Affordable yes, but not sustainable.

New comment by throwaway55479 in "Joe Biden stands down as Democratic candidate"

throwaway55479 — Sun, 21 Jul 2024 18:30:17 +0000

Biden winning the race in 2020 [1] was the most commented post on HN.

I found that yesterday while trying to figure out how popular the "crowdstrike" post was, and it is actually the second most commented one.

> Was there a plan if it went wrong?

It is sad, but Hamas leaders may just regard all this as a worthwhile sacrifice for their greater cause of Palestinian liberation.

> History has shown that Palestinian lives mean nothing to the Arab world.

They do care. They talk about it every day. They sponsor a good part of the aid. Not letting Gazans out is mostly because Israel may not allow them back in again.

I'm not saying palestinians are a priority to the Arab leaders. They are just doing what is safe for themselves. So no wars or economic blockades. Actually, the Houthis and Hezbollah are doing just that, and they are labeled as terrorists for it.

> What the benefit is to Israel to starve 1.1 million people to death. It would be a good way to turn the entire world against them.

The EU foreign policy chief and the UN said it simply: "It is probably used as a weapon of war." If what Israel had already done did not turn the entire world against them, why do you (or why would they) think this will? Because of the horrors of 7/10, Israel now believes it has carte blanche. It was bad before, but now almost all limits are off.
