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.

      I'm not sure, maybe you can find a way to express it without breaking HN guidelines.

      Your accusation was way off-base and deliberately offensive. You are capable of making the same point without stooping down the hierarchy of disagreement, so do it.
