I'm not naive or sheltered, but this kind of reporting is useful. When I read about Israel bombing Beirut, I assume it is military targets with some civilian casualties.
It is very meaningful to see the "some civilian casualties" presented in this way. I don't even see it as an argument for or against Israel's strikes. It is simply a statement that this is the consequence of Israel's actions.
In particular, I appreciated reading a bit about what the victims did for a living and who they were. It helps me connect them to my personal experience.
Remember, these are "non people". So 5 comments here; after all, who cares?
Just imagine if the people killed were on the Israeli side. I know what kind of a blood festival there would be, I lived there for long enough. And probably tens of thousands "arabs" killed over the next few weeks. You know, the equation 1=50 (or perhaps 1=100 at this point) which "of course is a conspiracy theory and there isn't anything like that".
Apes with nuclear weapons, with most sophisticated "electronic intelligence", apparently with large influence over the banking system, extorting foreign politicians and states. Bloodthirsty apes nonetheless.
while I agree this post is off topic on HN, seems people don't care anymore and it's full of politics in recent years (I read it here like 15+ years under various accounts) with general mainstream news not related to tech/hacking
there are anyway plenty of meta discussions under every article here, so calling something off topic is pointless anymore, people can just vote for interesting posts and ignore the ones which should be ignored, easy as that
