It’s not a matter of “deserve” — it is the reality that Hamas, with 85% support among Palestinians, intentionally created. Tunnels and hideouts placed beneath hospitals, schools, residential buildings so as to cause maximum casualties and infrastructure damage when attacked. Israel warns civilians to leave in advance, and Hamas shoots at them if they do. Israel is fighting an enemy who claims “we love death more than you love life” and who’s mission is to rape, torture, and kill Jews. How would you neutralize such a threat?

The “innocent people” who overwhelmingly support Hamas and their stated goal of killing all Jews, and who were out in the streets cheering on October 7? Israel has a right to defend themselves against the monsters who spent the last decades preparing to attack and destroy them, and to this day continue to launch missiles and bullets at them. Denying them security from this threat makes *you* the terrorist sympathizer.

Isreal has a principle: they do not leave their people behind. Their genocidal terrorist neighbors took advantage of that promise by kidnapping their people, hiding them behind human shields. Israel vowed to get them back at any cost, and that cost was not only acceptable to Hamas, but since they actually believe in martyrdom, desirable. It allowed them to decry Israel as the evil ones, recruiting simpletons in the West who ate up their propaganda, becoming their useful idiots, even as they shot their own people to prevent them from escaping harms way. Israel refused to be terrorized, they did not yield to the demented tactics of the death cult calling for their annihilation. At a terrible cost, no one denies.

MIT roboticist calls out Elon Musk's 'fantasy' of humanoid robot assistants

How much of the Tesla bubble is based on unrealistic hype?

> Rodney Brooks was the co-founder of iRobot, the creator of the home robot vacuum Roomba. He recently wrote that it will be practically impossible for robots to fulfill the same roles as people, despite Tesla's stated goal of having robots do so with its product, Optimus.

> "In my opinion, believing that this will happen any time within decades is pure fantasy thinking," wrote Brooks on his personal blog. "But many are predicting that it will happen in as soon as two years, and the more conservative 'hypenotists' believe it will have significant economic impact within five years."

Not trolling, just trying to find the reasoning behind your position.

So is “the individual” the only thing in the universe for which antecedent conditions don’t exert a causal effect — at least, not completely — or are there other things, too? What about non-human minds, like animals, also first movers?

And, do you have a theory of how the individual is exempt from everything else we observe, which seems to be part of the causal chain?

This Includes the parts of the human brain that we have observed, for instance with fMRI. The studies where researchers looking at brain imaging know the actions the subject was about to take, a second or two before the subjects were aware of it themselves, would need some explanation of how their choices were actually free of prior causes, yet still predictable.
