Why are most of the top comments up in arms about this article and not the magic secrets of Teller one? If you're going to shout "irrelevant", at least be consistent. I think this speaks volumes of the biases inherent in some of the commenters here. You may not believe it, but there are some individuals here who would like to discuss the technological, entrepreneurial, and maybe even human right implications of the events in this article. If you don't like it, ignore it. The fact that the top comments suggest we shouldn't even begin discussing the content of this article is very reflective of the entire Israeli-Palestinian conflict itself...no one wants to empathize with the "other side". On the contrary, we should encourage discussion and just down vote whichever comments we deem unproductive and upvote the ones, such as orbitingpluto's, which provide great insight.
"no one wants to empathize with the "other side"."

I realize people don't like to hear this but Israel is a democracy with a wide range of opinions and representation of all society including Arabs in the government. please read up

From the guidelines[0]: "Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."
