This is antizionist hate speech.

This is antizionist hate speech.

https://liorsinai.github.io/machine-learning/2025/02/22/mla.... I wrote an article on MLA last year. In short, I found the main idea of MLA as very innovative but it was documented in a strange paper with other ideas I couldn't comprehend as being useful, and they hadn't properly reported the positives or negatives of MLA.

You are quoting Wikipedia which quotes an article by the Guardian that the IDF had identified ~9000 Hamas/PIJ casualties by name. It is a logical fallacy to then assume the remainder are not part of Hamas/PIJ. Further, identifying adversary combatant deaths by name is an extraordinary high standard for warfare and is applied to no other conflict on earth.

Antizionism is a violent hate movement built on libels, lies, and obsessing over Israel. It is an anti-Jewish hatred that seeks to divide Jews and deprive at least half of their sovereignty, history and human rights.

Extreme hatred of Israel can be called antizionism or Israel Derangement Syndrome and aligns well with anti-Western and anti-American views. See how many comments insult both America and Israel here. Antizionism is the intense hatred and focus of one tiny middle Eastern country. It is not normal but it has been normalised. Antizionism is a hate movement.

It's incredibly frustrating because the only "reasonable" opinion we're allowed is full-throated denial of Israel's right to exist and the end of anything Jewish associated with it. There's no allowance for nuance.

Origami books are still sold under his name. For example "Akira Yoshizawa - Japan's Greatest Origami Master" https://www.giladorigami.com/review-yoshizawa-origami-master...

Here's what some South African's think of him:

"AbaThembu King Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo says he has removed Mandla Mandela as the traditional leader of Mvezo in the Eastern Cape."

"[His spokesperson] accused Mandela of being more concerned about the people of Palestine than his own people. "Palestine must give him a place to rule; they make him a chief there. Here in the land of AbaThembu, he is no longer welcome,” he said."

South African here. There is a vast gap between what the elite believe and what the world perceives of South Africa, and what South Africans think.

Most South Africans have a very low interest in Israel-Palestine. Anecdotally, in person Palestinian rally struggle to get more than 100 people.

There are plenty of domestic issues which people care about more. For one, there are 20,000-25,000 murders here per year. Relatively the deaths in Gaza are much higher (it is about 25x smaller), but when people march its for the 127,000 murdered here over the last 5 years, not the 70,000 killed in Gaza.

There are ~100,000 German Jews, from a pre-WW2 population of 560,000 in a modern population of 83.6 million, 0.1%.

Yes, did forget that one. Reinstatement of the prohibition to Judaism's holy sites, expulsion of hundred thousands of Israelis from the West Bank, and unlimited Arab immigration to the Jewish state. But it was a peace plan.

Edit: I'm still in shock you argued that 100,000 people in a population of 83.6 million is a lot - front and centre - but hand waved the forced relocation 500,000 people in a population of 10 million in a much smaller country as just the cost of peace.

It's taken another 5 hours to reach 201 points, despite being flagged and removed from the home page at around 100 points.

It is no longer flagged.

After another half hour it is at 134 points despite being flagged.

Ok, at least you are engaging.

A few rebutals: > Yes the author is pro-Israel. I would assume the author the Reuters article is anti-Israel. This doesn't automatically disqualify either account.

> The issue is with the MoH is the breakdown of the numbers, not the overall number. No contradiction.

> He provides an alternative to Lancet. His numbers do not follow Lancet, so mixing his calculations with Lancet's is disingenuous.

> Hamas said they had 40k trained fighters which was about 2% of the population. They also recruited heavily throughout the war. Israel has a standing army of 170,000. The area is an active war zone. These numbers are feasible.

> The 8900 is fighters identified by Israel by name. This is an extremely high standard you are applying to identify fighters overall. For example in Ukraine, this standard would identify most of the 200,00 Russians they have claimed to kill to be civilians.

> Your logic is inconsistent. According to you over a 2 year period Israel couldn't kill tens of thousands of fighters in a large active military all over Gaza but could kill tens of thousands of exposed and trapped civilians in the crossfire but Hamas couldn't have harmed a few thousand of those same civilians.

> No genocide.

> This is not disputing numbers. It's disputing the nature of the conflict.

Flagged and off the home page. Now at 106 points.

Doubled to 103 points in 6 minutes

This is rising fast. 61 points at this moment.

Thanks for the support. Agree, on these political posts people would rather censor comments they disagree with than argue against it.

It does appear to skew one way too. You can say far worse things about Israel and not be flagged at all. For example, see these comments here:

   Israel is mass killing civilians in Lebanon, just as they did in Gaza, while they simultaneously enact pogroms in the West Bank.

Wow, again I am dismayed by the antizionism and anti-Israel sentiment. The popularity of this short, weak article on this website, and the vitriol and hate in the comments is unreal. Can't you all go to Reddit?

In 2016 the UK based Cambridge Analytica was blamed for Trump's win in 2016. Then he won again in 2024 without them. Meanwhile both USA parties invested heavily in social media campaigns.

In my country local government elections are in a few months and political parties are already flooding my social media with rage bait (primarily Instagram and Facebook).

This short article is about a private company, not linked to the government, that may or may not have been retained by locals, that may or may not have breached foreign interference laws, and that certainly did not lend its targeted candidates an overwhelming advantage (Mamdani was the most popular candidate in the NYC mayoral election). But because it is about Israel everyone goes crazy.

South Africa is split into 4 segments. Johannesburg is not a capital. Otherwise South Africa has 3 capital cities - administrative (Pretoria), legislative (Cape Town) and judicial (Bloemfontein) - but Pretoria is informally considered the "main" capital.

The article I am referring to is https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/11/business/media/bari-weiss.... I don't have access to this anymore. I remember the tone as bitter.

The article argued her success was due to her own style of grievance reporting.

At the Free Press she spoke often about values, and you can still see this in her CBS press releases. I believe this contributed more.

On the technology side, I haven't wanted to unsubscribe from them entirely, but I have found it easy and useful to unsubscribe from specific various columnists and topics, especially as the paper has gotten larger and busier.

As an alternative, the Free Press is honestly much better. I joined it because of the NY Times' bitter hit piece on Bari Weiss, who left them to found the Free Press. I wanted something that wasn't woke. I've stayed because of the excellent quality of reporting, varied points of view, and well researched investigations.

I was upset when Weiss announced she was leaving the Free Press to head a big American news agency because I was worried it would affect the Free Press. That's how much I like it. Thankfully it hasn't much, just mostly her personal reporting - which was great - isn't there anymore.

The Free Press has its own biases. But it's much more varied and inquisitive than other news sites. Sometimes I get to the end of an article and I'm annoyed that the author didn't make more of a stand and then I realise, that's the point.

Some articles are just super interesting. Their indepth investigation into the Free Birth Society wasn't a big story, but it made a profound and personal impact on me.

That's a cool map.

Unfortunately this article and the conversation here is taken in the context of the entirety of Israel is bad, the whole military war against Hamas and its patrons was bad, and that there is a genocide in Gaza. It leaves little room to have meaningful conversations about difficult conditions in the war and whether soldiers acted incorrectly or not and if they should be tried or not with regards to this single incident.

There are many issues raised with the report, including it omits the invasion by the government of Gaza, Hamas, on 7 October 2023 entirely, and it omits that the Israeli army is fighting the army of Gaza, the Qasam brigades, who had 40,000 salaried fighters (pre-war), have fired thousands of missiles, developed hundreds of kilometres of tunnels specifically for urban warfare, and subverted public and private infrastructure for urban warfare. For such a serious allegation, it is important to consider and address all aspects and not simply omit them.

I would like to add, I don't think this topic is appropriate for Hacker News.

2016

Author here. While researching this topic I came across this article https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/compressed-tries/ by GeeksForGeeks (compressed trie is another name for radix tree). Currently it is one of the top results on Google for this topic. Generally I've found GeeksForGeeks to be a good resource, but this article is especially poor. The code is bizarre and makes no sense:

- It defines properties like 'bitNumber', 'leftChild' and 'rightChild' which have nothing to do with this type of tree.

- The search function search(k) calls an overloaded version of itself search(root, k) that is (1) illegal in these languages and (2) not defined.

- The insert function does not account for all scenarios.

And more.

I'm fairly convinced this was written with the assistance of a LLM. That would be a logical explanation to all those illogical choices.
