   I wrote about the genocide in Palestine, and how tech has been silent and complicit.

     @kielkontrovers @paulbiggar Gila Gamliel's plan is a blueprint for ethnic cleansing. All of the current excess in death, infrastructure destruction, and human misery are designed for expulsion.

     @paulbiggar the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.

     @kielkontrovers not just killing. Destroying land, making land uninhabitable, expulsion. Try chatting with chatgpt about it and you might get a broad understanding

     @kielkontrovers sounds like you don't have a an actual definition of genocide handy. "killing 100% of them" is not the definition

     @paulbiggar to say the reason of Israels action is that they want to erase all Palestinians is nonsense. if you want to criticize the human toll and exegeration if force ok, that's debatable, genocide it is not.

     @kielkontrovers @paulbiggar when high-level ministers are crowing about a Nakba in Gaza, maybe we should listen to them.

     @paulbiggar appreciate you speaking up. Also, I fear you’ll find out what I have — it’s even worse than it seems. You *won’t* have torched your career, because they were already dismissing your sincerely-held beliefs. But speaking your truth is its own reward, and I hope you find peace in it.

     In it, I call out my investors who are whitewashing the genocide and promoting Israeli talking points while Israel bombs and murders innocent civilians.

     @paulbiggar like, I called out Andreessen publicly for endorsing colonialism, while sitting on a board with A16Z folks, and…nobody there cared. They see all of the rest of us as either trifles to be ignored or enemies to be destroyed, but they certainly don’t care what we say.
