  • Sorry, but events which happened right after the founding of the country don’t count IMO - the whole area was in chaos and many dumb decisions were made (talking about the Ben Dunkleman case).

    “Breaking the Silence” have been caught lying many times - even known biased publications like Haaretz have called them liars.

    Elor Azaria, a soldier which killed an incapacitated terrorist a few years ago, claimed that his commander told him to do it. He went to jail anyway.

    It’s not a myth, this is fucking drilled into our heads during bootcamp.










  • You don’t know shit about Israel.

    I have lived in Israel my entire life, and have served for 3 years in the IDF.

    People don’t just follow orders blindly - in fact, in the IDF, if you receive an extreme order from your superior (for example, if you’re told to harm an innocent person), you WILL go to prison if you follow that order, and it is your obligation to refuse it.

    Not to mention the fact the the culture in Israel is extremely informal and lax. Israelis take pride in not following the rules.

    Israelis in general are extremely distrusting of authority (think about it - Jews have been suffering because of it for 2000 years).






  • I’m actually not European (I mentioned it because others did in this thread, I think the developers are?).

    In any case, I do “get the gist” but I disagree with it - why should the mainstream culture of a foreign country dictate what I can or can’t say (or name my project)?

    And even if I did agree with you on that point, I would disagree with applying that logic to a term like “crackpipe” which isn’t considered a slur at all.

    If you think the name is offensive, don’t use it. Once again, this project is a server for hosting pirated games, it’s not like they need to be advertiser friendly or whatever.
