I am personally surprised this isn't [flagged] [dead] already, I would have anticipated that too. Political topics tend to be flagged immediately, even when the politics had clear and immediate implication for the tech community.
Maybe this is a sign that consensus is shifting. It seems now that it's more politically risky to deny Israel's committing warcrimes than it is to acknowledge it.
While I agree with much of what this blogpost says, I am surprised it's still up, especially since there doesn't seem to be much implication for the tech community, or discussion about what it means. (It is significant that one of the countries most central to the worldwide tech community is committing genocide and is increasingly seen as a pariah state, but even then, that is not what's being discussed here.)
EDIT: I spoke to soon, this was [flagged] just as I posted my comment.
