No, that isn't what I said. I said Hamas ignited the current disaster - which is one step in a whole series of disastrous moves by both the State of Israel and Hamas.
But to address your point of what are the Palestinians to do? There isn't a nice clean answer for that because the burden of responsibility lies on both sides - moreso on the side with the greater power (so, Israel).
But terrorism isn't helpful when it leads to the genocide of your people.
If Hamas hadn't done October 7th, then a lot more innocent Israelis, Palestinians, and Gazans would still be alive today.
If you're trying to suggest that it's a means to an end... Well first of all, the ends do not justify the means. Second of all - what end exactly has Hamas helped achieve here?
I'm sorry, I don't follow what you're trying to convey here.
That there is an even bigger picture than in my comment? Well, yes, of course. The Israel-Palestine situation is a hundred year old mess.
But how was my comment reductive as well? I didn't lay the blame squarely at the feet of any one party, which is far closer to the truth than saying "It's all Israel's fault."
And if you take contention with me being nuanced, please consider that by doing so you don't actually do any favours to the conversation and therefore a peaceful resolution that is as fair as can possibly be achieved.
So, if it helps you come back to the table, please know that I absolutely think what Israel is doing is appalling and they have an obscene power disparity over the Palestinian people and are abusing that wholesale - when they could use it to create peace.
Now I'm no supporter of Israel's genocide in Gaza, but your statement is way too reductive.
The current disaster in Gaza was ignited by Hamas on October 7th, no doubt at the encouragement of Iran. And yes, Israel definitely bears a significant amount of responsibility for creating the tinder box that October 7th sparked, and also has certainly fanned the flames with enthusiasm.
But responsibility for the escalation and continuation of the situation rests also on Iran, on Hamas and the Houthis, and also to a lesser degree on the US and other Western allies that enable Israel.
Just on Israel-Palestine alone, Trump is the person that recognised Jerusalem as Israel's capital city. If that isn't informative about his attitude about the situation...
This is the best demonstration I've seen of how 'AI' (LLMs) have no fucking clue what they're doing, and hence why all the 'AI will replace X job' is just absolute bullshit.
No, the dude isn't an idiot. We have an assumption to a right to privacy in the UK. That privacy was invaded and worse still he's being laden with the charge for the invasion.
Either we need to accept that there is a cost to counter-terrorism operations including those of false positives, or we in essence let the terrorists win by allowing them to force us into a perpetual state of terror - i.e. where we live and act in a constant state of fear of the potential of a terror act.
The need to gatekeep a genre which - by now - I reckon has far more entries that don't match the definition of a traditional/classic rogue-like game just seems unnecessary.
Giving a qualifier to 'roguelike' to delineate the classic versus more flexible/modern style makes more sense.
