> "Hamas does not issue uniforms"

This is not true you can just google Qassam brigade to see their uniform, they have a very emblematic headband. They are hiding in tunnels though so you're not just gonna find them everywhere, Hamas does not have military equipment to be able to fight head to head with a modern military, it's just an insurgent group.

> once something is used for military operations, it is fair game as a military target.

Except you have to prove it was used for military operations, not just bomb hospitals. This is called a war crime.

> Regardless of civilians

well well

Good point but it's not talking to a journal not a person, I thought he wants to avoid misrepresentation

Well nobody respects diversity hires because they weren't put to the test at the same standards. It's like getting a job because your parents are wealthy, people don't respect those. That is until they prove themselves somehow, if the stigma sticks after that then it might be sexist/racist...ist.

Personally I believe these "quotas" systems hurt more than they help, if you don't subject people to the same high standard test they don't improve, because they don't have technical challenges to overcome. That's why I never participate in them

not from usa, but genuinely curious. why is "not talking to X journals" disgusting? many people do that because they don't want to be on a journal with an editorial line they don't like. am I missing something about the guy or the story?
