Proof? Or just what is convenient for you to believe?

If anything, quite the opposite. Think about this logically - why the need for expensive surveillance if your chief goal was to annihilate a population?

Gaza has long been a showroom and R&D space for technologies of oppression. Field proven platforms sell.


Genocide is not the same as extermination. The goal of expulsion is to obtain land. Surveillance programs facilitate ethnic cleansing by countering resistance.



For those looking for direct sources on the findings of genocide in Gaza, here are several key reports and legal conclusions from human rights organizations, international courts, and genocide scholars:

1. UN Commission of Inquiry: Concluded that Israel has committed genocide in the Gaza Strip. * Report: https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2025/09/israel-has-c... * Press Conference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trUcK8hHaIA

2. Amnesty International: Concluded that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. * Statement: https://www.amnesty.org/en/petition/end-israels-genocide-aga...

3. B'Tselem (The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories): Published their conclusion that Israel is committing genocide. * Report ("Our Genocide"): https://www.btselem.org/publications/202507_our_genocide

4. International Court of Justice (ICJ): Ruled in January 2024 that it is plausible Israel's acts could violate the Genocide Convention. * Case Details: https://www.icj-cij.org/case/192

5. Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention: Issued an "Active Genocide Alert" in October 2023, warning of the high risk of genocide. * Alert: https://www.lemkininstitute.com/active-genocide-alert-1/acti...

Beyond these formal reports, it's crucial to acknowledge that this has been one of the most documented atrocities in history, often livestreamed by Palestinians on the ground. Their testimonies have been consistent from the beginning, yet they are frequently dismissed until a non-Palestinian, "human" source validates their lived experience.

A question suited for ITF and Netanyahu maybe? Ask them spend less. He gets to prolong this Genocide, then he gets to stay out of trial for his previous crimes. Maybe ITF is not in a hurry.


I could see Aviato moving into this space...


I think he was implying that is where you initially store money while accumulating that first $100K (that will be later used for investing purposes).


What is your source for this new evidence? There is overwhelming evidence that is quite the contrary to what you are saying at the time it happened (which is why they dropped the bomb) and even now in retrospect.


By most approximations, there were about 200,000 causalities from the bombs and their aftermath.

That said, had the bombs not been dropped, estimates ran into the millions for Allied casualties and tens of millions for Japanese (civilian + soldiers) casualties.

Ultimately it boils down to an issue of numbers (achieved by expediency).


True, if you assume it was only between dropping the bombs or full scale invasion though. In the end we'll never know I guess.


Exactly. All this "we can predict a future that never happened" bothers me.


Had that exact question given to me before, but it was in the form of a closed book "pre-screening" written test.

I simply put down my pen, walked out of the room and told the recruiter if this company was hiring based on these type of questions I would be a terrible fit :)


They were likely hiring to fill a PHP dev roll writing CRUD web forms too, right?

I've been places with tough interviews and incompetent developers and the opposite as well. One does not necessarily correlate with the other.


More importantly though, what's his stance on gay marriage and the Iraq war?
