So we just need to wait until people stop caring?

I mean, by the letter of things I am assuming that Jason is supporting the genocide of Palestinians.

Nobody living would care anymore, I guess.

    You might want to brush up on HN's guidelines if you think that these comments are acceptable here:

      Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community. 
    
      Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith. 
    
      Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes.

    • I often find that when I'm criticising something to be specific about what; in this case, which guideline you think I am in violation of.

      Given the quote from Jason:

      > This works so much better when there are living people who care.

      What's the strongest interpretation of this given the context?

      There's two ways to make this a reality:

      1) Stop them caring

      2) Stop them living

      Given that the international community has been pushing hard for nearly a century for option 1; I'm guessing Jason means option 2.
