When we talk about Palestinian violence we (rightly) put it in context of the oppression they suffered. You can't expect an oppressed people to react kindly and patiently to their oppressors. But this guy apparently does not deserve this circumspect approach. We know nothing about him other than he is claimed to be an Israeli soldier but he might have any number of mental illnesses, PTSD, what have you. But we're perfectly happy to label him a monster, no questions asked.

I'm not trying to justify any violent behavior obviously, but we sure do love putting the excesses of "our" side in broader context, and highlighting perceived injustices of "theirs" without context.

Yeah you're right, these people are just born monsters, as a baby he was probably already biting the other babies when he got the chance. In fact, shouldn't even consider these people human right?

Such a dumb take.

I mean yeah absolutely protest your bosses unethical behavior but don't be surprised if they then kick you out. But that's good, more media coverage for your stated goal.

Jesus Christ I'm so tired of having to take these absolute morons seriously. In their tiny pea brain they think they're making a brilliant point here. "I are good guy, you am bad guy" Maybe democracy really is a mistake.

I wasn't aware they considered Zionist a negative term. I was under the impression they were proudly Zionist.

I was going to immediately mention Hollow Knight but I see someone already did. Second thought: Tunic. It's been a long time since a game hit me as hard as those two.

For pure fun addictive gaming: Factorio is absolutely nuts. 2D survival craft platforming action: Terraria is still king.

For space empire building check out X4: Foundations, after almost 10 years under development it's absolutely amazing (but a huge timesink haha)

Oh and if you're into semi-hard-scifi basebuilding you could give Stationeers a look. Sunk quite some hours into that one.

It's trickling down folks. If Ubisoft can pocket 20% more profits for their games that means you the gamer will get 20% more updates for your favorite games. Really, that's how it works.

For years if not decades Israeli hardliners have been using Nazi style rhetoric describing Palestinians as subhuman. It'd be a joke if it wasn't so horrifying.

As far as I have been able to tell, it doesn't. If you have your own infra it doesn't affect you at all.

I don't keep up with him as much these days but always thrilled to see old Bob is still around.

Unironically I expect this to be the case. These "soldiers" in large part are young folks brainwashed by an extremist government and, to some extent, broader extremist society. There are going to be some of them who looking back later in life are going to be rightly horrified by their own actions. This is breeding a whole new generation of severely messed up people on both sides.
