No no.. this is the dissenting opinion I was referring to...

“We as a board are making it more controversial than it has to be,” said board member Anthony Andrews, who complimented the kids for doing exactly what we want our young people to do: show leadership and initiative, identify problems and find solutions. “If we vote no on this, we send the message that we don’t trust the students."

I really wish they would give at least a tiny bit of context to this summary. It would be nice to just know if it was purely malicious or if it was due to some sort of bureaucratic nonsense where they have some sort of strict rules in place that forces them to refuse grants of any kind or something.

Either way it would be ridiculous to refuse... But for fuck's sake at least offer a little bit of context... The summary here just reads like pure outrage porn...

Pitchforks and torches are fucking tiring to carry around all the damn time...

Edit: just read the full article and yeah that's fucked up... school board voted against the grant because of the organization it was coming from and clearly had no desire to evaluate the project on its own merits... The dissenting opinion from one member of the board is actually a really good one and would recommend anyone curious to go read it.

You probably want something like netgenius one. That's enterprise grade but might be a good starting point to research. Alternatively you could look at ips/ids systems that can apply a set of definitions or rules to the analysis, ubiquiti or fortinet has some solutions for this sort of thing but I'm sure there are alternatives out there which would be better depending on your needs.

You are kind of asking several questions here though and may need to clarify a bit what goal you have in mind for the solution you are looking for.

This has been standard military science for the last 5000 years.

If you want conflict to end at some point in the future then you don't let it slowly ramp up with a whole bunch of tit for tat.

You have to win decisively in order to have any opportunity for peace. Or you know... HAMAS could have just not started a war by killing a bunch of civilians and taking innocent people hostage... That would have probably worked too.

Guessing it might be a bottle of titebond ... If it is take a look at glubot

No dude... Nothing like that... Israel has made plenty of mistakes, especially in the past, and this is an extremely complex issue.

To answer your first question in terms of casualty counts. The very first thing is that casualty counts are very commonly over/under inflated, especially during times of conflict. There are many reasons you may want to over inflate or deflate your numbers. But honestly it is really difficult to take casualty rates at face value. Let's say we take it for what it is and its skewed. Now we run straight into a philosophical conundrum that is probably much to big to effectively argue through on the internet.

Your philosophical position on about a dozen or so moralistic arguments are going to shape your ultimate decision on where you stand in terms of casualty imbalances.

So I will skip all that and give you some of the things that I believe would bring me to your side.

  1. If HAMAS releases all of the remaining hostages and surrenders their leadership to stand trial in a neutral international court, and Israel continues to pursue it's offensive operations.
  2. If Israel remains present in gaza following the restoration of peace.

I understand where you are coming from, really... And I also appreciate the care that went into crafting your reply with the clear considerations to keep a neutral and rational tone, so I wish to extend the courtesy back.

The major contention I have with your position is that it is only easily justified if it were true that Israel is in fact indiscriminately bombing Palestinians. However the basis in reality to support the indiscriminate claim just doesn't exist at the current point. In fact the specific video posted here is explicitly contradictory to that argument. Israel has developed military technology beyond nearly every other country in the world in order to precisely and discriminatorily be able to target enemy combatants in civilian dense urban areas. The roof knock bombs that IDF use prior to levelling a structure so that citizens can have time to flee the scene is a prime example as well.
