"no one wants to empathize with the "other side"." not true. Israel has active left wing and various peace movements. they just don't get much attention outside of Israel. 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


"Israel is suppressing this technology..." that statement exactly shows the problem with this post. this is a complex political problem that has nothing to do with the technology. in fact Israel has made huge investments in solar technology. you don't have to agree with Israeli politics. as an Israeli,I rarely do either, but this post is one in a long list of demonizing and biased posts that just make the situation worse for us left wing Israelis who genuinely want a solution


> this is a complex political problem that has nothing to do with the technology.

May be complex to you, but to (most of) the rest of us it is actually quite simple to understand.


hasbara bla bla bla. you read thrice as many anti Israel pieces then pro ones. very few intelligent people comprehend the situation and knee jerk reactions are almost unanimously anti Israel


off topic and annoying. anti-Israel agendas on hnews. the article is 2% about renewable energy and 98% Israel bashing, typically ignoring the Israeli point of view. shame


If somebody would write an article in nazi germany about how the jews dont get the food and the electricity they wanted than that would be an anti-nazi article. however that doesnt mean is annoying or factual wrong.


it also wouldn't belong on a tech site. what's annoying is that non tech articles get posted just for furthering Israel hatred and only a few call it out. then Israelis feel besieged and everybody wonders why. your reference to ww2 is fitting though not for the reason you think, but because like then, Jews were picked out for special treatment, except today we're called Zionists, so as to be politically correct


Zionists think they are the chosen ones right? Isnt that similar to some other idealogies?

Actually I am not pro palestina or anti isreal. I just think that religion in its generality does not promote peac and understanding. A world without religionbwould be a better place.


Zionism was a secular movement. I'm not a jew, and I'm an atheist. I believe in religion being removed from the public sphere. And I'm also a zionist.
