well Isreal occupied most parts of Palestine in 1948. The Israeli state has be founded with the help from the UK government who occupied Palestine from the Ottomans in 1920 and gave a bulfour declaration to establish a Jewish state in Palestine. they started bringing jews from around the world and arm them to establish a country. the jews started to kill Arabs and committed mascaras and destroyed thousands of Palestinian villages which forced 100s of thousands to flee. there are around 9 million Palestinian refuges in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. 1967 Israel occupied the rest of Palestine west bank and Gaza. the founders of the company are Palestinians not Jewish Israeli. even though they live in Palestine 1948 or what is called "Israel"

I seriously don't understand how you expect people to consider acting for your cause when all you do is offer it in a hidden agenda of some tech news. This is full of dark patterns.

HN is not a place for your political propaganda.

So the Palestinian founders should call it an Israeli company?

I have no idea of the agendas of the CuBox founders, but given there are Jews I know who do not support the government of Israel, and here someone asked the question, I think it's fair to give an answer.

I think the Palestinian founders should call it whatever they want.

I know that Palestine, Israel, etc are hot button topics. HN has shown many times that it's not good to try to discuss it here. These threads never go well. It's a shame, because I want to hear smart people talking about a complex topic, but I absolutely do not want to read the hyper-aggressive bullshit that goes with it.

Here's an example of a fantastically un-useful comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6306567) "you must be jew or a CIA or Mossad Agent".

That's the kind of thing that kills useful discussion.

I hadn't gone into ArabNews' profile to see if he was spouting hate speech. This thread makes me sick (not in a hyper-aggressive bullshit sort of way, but a stifling urge to fire back, can't possibly be a productive use of anyone's time kind of way.)

Just four clicks away, "We need an AlQaeda facebook" I don't even know where to begin. Just remember America, you can either vote for the Republicans or you can vote for the Democrats. There are only two options. Upvote or downvote.
