Soldiers kill for governments, prostitution is hired sex

I doubt it, if I understand that correctly that's not the regular prostitute due to her harsh life, but some different kind of patriotic prostitute

Always wondered how one chooses the profession of literal prostitution for a government

It had an aura precisely because journalists were the arbitrators of truth, so denial of real information elevated it

If you want to at least appreciate the irony, the above mentioned state of the media is largely due to Google

There are more than 300k civilian deaths attributed to the period.

The Gaza figures include military deaths, civilian deaths including killed by Hamas, and even natural deaths, it is more comparable to the 1 million number and due to its use of natural deaths it is even overcounted compared to the 9/11 number, (I am deliberately ignoring the 4+ million indirect deaths number quoted on brown)

I actually think this is going to get progressively better.

It's easier than ever today with LLMs to find bugs in the firmware and get complete trace of what's they are sending and shame these companies.

The next phase for the technically inclined is to patch these appliances and remove the collection, also possible today

I don't know, an example, Special Rapporteur on the Palestinian territories Francesca Albanese spreading nazi era conspiracy theories about Jews controlling political systems.

And that's from a human rights body, and from its representative to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict

the UNHR is comically biased against Israel though and controlled by totalitarian countries with less than stellar human rights records

That ended in a million dead over bi-partisan 20 years of war. Without 9/11 including massive hostage taking, rape or mass murder with torture in people homes.

The other main difference is that 9/11 ended within a few days, the hostage part of 7/10 made it an ongoing disaster for years in Israel.

That's a very flat take. That ignores the fact that the doctor that saw the prisoner reported it for investigation or that the military had chose to prosecute it, also you don't mention this was one case, not "systematic"

Even ignoring the fact that protests do not imply popular support, there is no comparison as 9/11 did not include widespread sexual violence and ongoing hostage rape was still going on at the time this happened.

So even if this seemed terrible to most Israelis, it was hard to find someone who will publicly defend a rapist from rape in jail
