DCG 201 Stance On The Israel–Hamas Conflict & Hackers4Palestine Charity Initiative

So…this is a simple yet difficult topic to talk about. Yes, even worse than regular expressions.

It would take us FOREVER to explain the complex history and even the current unfolding situation on what’s going on so instead we are linking to these videos below to watch and learn at your leisure:

We at DCG 201 are obviously horrified at the mass deaths, tortures, r*pe and kidnappings going on in the region as it has directly affected our friends and allies both locally here in the US and abroad.

After shifting through the data (you have most likely seen our posts on social media) here is our stance on the matter just in case you are confused at home.

We at DCG 201 condemn Hamas who at best is a corrupt government faction that sponsors terrorists (reminds us of someone at home) and at worse is a terrorist organization itself.

We also condemn Israel under the god-awful George Bush levels of Benjamin Netanyahu who’s response is similar to the USA Response of 9/11 that instead of going after Hamas directly in a swift, practical manner they just went “ALL BROWN PEOPLE ARE EVIL” and has proceeded to try to wipe out all Palestinians off the face of the earth which include Arabs, Christians, Jews, Americans and even other Israelis:

In addition this conflict is breeding a new generation of Anti-Antisemitism and Anti-Arabism that is already causing harassment and deaths of people world wide who have NOTHING to do with this conflict.

This is why at DCG 201 we encourage a cease fire in the region, for diplomatic solutions in the face of barbarism, the end of biblical revenge genocidal thought and for the United States, UK and European Union (who ultimately caused this mess in the first place) to stop manipulating Palestinian people for their own personal gain.

We also have been tracking and studying the extremely poor propaganda coming out of Israel that is designed not for peace and showcasing the best of the Jewish people but instead provoking racist fears for the WASPS in the US that fund them:

We could go on and on about this conflict but, we are hackers, so unlike tech bros who simply complain all day about the mistakes they cause, we want to get out of theory and try to do something…ANYTHING, to help.

This is why DCG 201 is proud to announce:
