Because it’s collective punishment and they want to maximize suffering.
But that will never be officially said. They are well trained to know what is legal and what is not.
So the official reason will always be that they thought she was a terrorist. Some combination of not being able to see properly in the dust, being under fire from her general direction and terrorists dressing like civilians.
According to your link, he is still a minister.
So does that make him not a minister (an ex-minister?).
If he was suspended and not sacked, then I think he is still minister, but I am no expert on Israeli politics.
And when you subscribe to 1 or 2 rotating streaming services and only torrent for personal archiving purposes, you aren’t even depriving the streaming services of any revenue.
We should call it archiving instead of piracy to be honest.

The best solution I can think of is to have something like Tor.taxi
Also, they curate the collection so that it doesn’t get filled with low quality garbage.
Part of preserving and sharing knowledge is doing quality control.
It’s a joke.
UTF-16 already exists, which doesn’t favor Roman characters as much, but UTF-8 is more popular because it is backword compatible with the legacy ASCII.
UTF-32 also exists which has exactly equal length representation for every character.
But the thing that equalizes languages is compression.
Yes, a text written in Cyrillic with UTF-8 will take more space than a Roman language, easily double. However this extra space is much more easily compressed by an algorithm like GZIP.
So after compression, the two compressed texts will then be similarly sized and much smaller than UTF-16 or UTF-32.
I am not a leftist, just a centrist humanist.
You’re just an apartheid fanboy.
Ah yes, just turn my comment into a strawman. Sorry, not going to feed the trolls.
The only party ignoring and abandoning the hostages and foreign nationals stuck in Gaza (whom you conveniently do not mention) is Israel.
Hamas would definitely be willing to give back hostages in exchange for concessions. And they also were willing to let foreign nationals leave, but Israel blocked the border, leading to the death of at least one of my countrywomen.
But Israel is blinded by rage and opporunism, so it prioritizes stealing land in the West Bank above freeing hostages.
You are right, but it’s not just poor developed countries and not just windows either.
Back in the 1990s, copy protection in general was weak and companies wishing to expand market share did not prioritize combating piracy.
They always just focused on making the big companies pay through licensing audits and kept prices high to ensure revenue.
The whole industry just accepted that students, researchers and tinkerers would pirate their software.
Photoshop, Office, Visual Studio and even enterprise software like Oracle had this dual strategy: let piracy help spread market share among those who can’t or won’t pay, while maintaining high prices and security audits to drive revenue from companies.
Many companies still follow this strategy.
I appreciate your well thought response, but I think the comparisons with 9/11 and Pearl Harbor are weak.
For 9/11, the USA had no incentive to let 9/11 happen. And it was a very novel attack that nobody was predicting. Conspiracy theories on 9/11 have no credibility for those reasons.
Pearl harbor is a little bit different. The USA was definitely pushing Japan and could have expected them to respond. But US leadership thought the Japanese wouldn’t want to drag the USA into the war through an obvious act of war. History is clear that US leadership could have expected it, but gambled on Japanese leadership making a different choice.
This attack is different. The only surprise is the extent of the success.
Israeli leadership has been baiting and nurturing Palestinian terrorism for decades in order to have support for land grabs and ethnic cleansing.
This time they just got burned harder than they expected.
Not true.
Israel is totally dependent on American and European support, but especially American support.
They are basically the last western apartheid style colony, after the West pulled the plug out of South-Africa and Rhodesia, those regimes imploded.
Which is why I don’t think Israel is viable as a state in its current form.
European support is rapidly evaporating and concentrated among older voters. We will probably switch to boycotting them within 20 years.
American support will probably last longer, but is also concentrated among older generations.
It seems pretty likely that Israel let the attacks happen to have a casus belli for land grabs and genocide.
Indeed.
Torrenting over I2P is the future. No need for VPN and no dependency on donated bandwidth like with Tor.
The technology needs a bit of refinement and it seems they are struggling to attract and maintain good developers.
In my opinion, the fundamental protocols of I2P need a revamp to make torrenting faster and more efficient.
It will take a few years before we solve these problems.
