          If you think Hamas is an effective security for Gaza and the West Bank, you’re outta your mind. It’s the existential threat of becoming enough of a pariah to be forced to trade with North Korea and rely on the Kibbutz economy again. Can’t really maintain tritium stockpiles that way.

          Hamas is as effective security for Gaza as Likud is for Israel. It would be better off for both parties if each fucked off.

          The threat of international condemnation and the less hawkish members of the Israeli government and electorate.

          Predictably the rate at which civilians in Gaza are bombed by Israel went up not down after Hamas’ acts of terrorism the other week.

          Even if you believe that the Israeli government is ontologically evil; serving them up causus belli to bomb and potentially invade Palestinian lands does not constitute “preventing Palestinians from being exterminated”, rather it actively helps them hastens the process

    They shouldn’t submit to arbitrary censorship, even if I also disagree with Hamas, Google could do it to anyone they disagree with. Telegram should move to (or at least also be on, with an uncensored version) F-Droid.

      If you think blocking literal terrorists is “arbitrary censorship” then I don’t even know what the fuck you are looking for in a society.

    This is why sideloading is always an essential function for any devices in general. How come I buy stuff and do whatever the fuck I want with it?

    Don’t get me wrong, although I think it’s quite clear, Hamas, obviously bad. Very much understandable of Google’s decision. But a company(apple) deciding what is and what is not acceptable to be installed on my device? It’s just uncanny how acceptable it is. That’s like buying a car that can’t go into certain places because uSeR sAfEtY. Even if I probably would never go there, why on Earth would you want that?

    This is just another parameter that will now be built into future chat software; no high level control over channels or groups by any central authority. The Internet will route around all obstacles.
