Except it's Hamas who does actual atrocities at scale (murder, rape, kidnapping) with clear genocidal intent. Israel here is much more like Allies who fight Nazis.

Read about bombing of Berlin by Allies, or bombing of North Korea, by the way. It's how wars are fought, unfortunately. This war is no different. Except... I don't remember anything about supplying metric tons of humanitarian aid for Nazi Germany in WW2? So stop being a hypocrite.

Are we pretending this conflict started on October 7th or should we go back to the Palestinian Mandate and the 1948 war crimes?

If Western nations are to be sorrowful for Nazi crimes in the 1940a surely the ethnic cleansing of the Arabs is on the table for discussion here…

It started even earlier. I lived in Tel Aviv and witnessed indiscriminate shelling of Israeli cities by Hamas many times, for many years. They specifically target civilians. It's barbaric.

And it's not just Hamas, it's general hatred against Jews which is nurtured in Palestinian people. In their schools, in their books, they teach their children to hate Jews, to kill them. There just isn't anything like that in Israel — Israelis don't want to kill Palestinians, they'd like to peacefully coexist with them, but again and again they are left with no choice.

Israel left Gaza once, by the way, but that only made Hamas stronger. Appeasement doesn't work seemingly with those who don't truly want peace.

Hamas is the Nazi equivalent here, even worse.
Have they killed 6 million plus 1? How are they possibly worse.
They have an explicit goal to end Israel. Every dead Hamas member makes the world a better place. Fortunately, Israel is helping make that happen.
They targeted civilians with no other aim than to target civilians.

They got elected and like the Nazis stopped any more elections.

They violently killed their opposition after their election victory.

They’ve severely curtailed the freedoms of the people they’ve ruled in Gaza, famously, for example, executing their own commander because he may have been gay.

They’ve misappropriated billions in aid to build tunnels and construct weaponry.

Theyve started a war against a much more powerful enemy that they have no hope of winning.

In this war they consistently use their civilian population as human shields.

In this war they consistently refuse to allow the civilian population to seek shelter in the tunnels they spent billions in aid building.

In this war, that they are losing, they’ve consistently rejected multiple offers for a ceasefire.

All of this while much of their leadership actually resides in Qatar.

It’s very odd that HN of all places has some Hamas sympathizers.
Humanity sympathizers. Most people recoil at seeing 10s of thousands of children killed.
So the bombing of Germany in WW2 was bad? It was done for the humanity. Many died, but the world became a better place (without Nazis) in result.

Same thing happens here. Hamas needs to be defeated, and this is the grim price for that. And its fully their fault and their responsibility for the death of many people — as they're the aggressor. Israel is not to blame here.

You can be against the actions of the current Israeli government while also being against Hamas.
If the Jews in Nazi Germany had done what Hamas did, there would be a month long holiday for them.

5x growth in space - unlikely current staffing needs this much space.

Maybe 5-10,000 new hires? Tel Aviv has only 500K folks total or so.

"About 20,000 people will work in the two towers (1 and 2)"

Google is renting 1/3 of tower 2.

Bitter considering how many people they've fired these last two years.
It is somehow always the most woke companies/people that turn out to be the biggest hypocrites. Something needs to be done about the mind virus out there.
