      I thought this comment was going too far when you felt the need to mention they were from Israel, as though merely being born in a country is grounds to hate someone. But Jesus Christ, this is a hell of a lot of assumptions to make based solely on an individual’s nationality.

      I hate Israel’s genocidal government as much as the next guy, but this is just racism.

      Edit: Author of the above comment has retracted and apologized. Good on them.

          I’m trying to be as charitable as possible, but I’d like you to provide a source for this assertion that Sakhnini has some connection to Israeli intelligence or the Israeli government besides being from Israel, otherwise your comments will be removed.

            I’m sorry. I was angry with the current decisions, and haven’t been as careful as usual with verifying my sources.

            I still believe that nothing good will come of this, but I cannot prove that nationality will have anything to do with it.

            I have deleted my own comments, and will be more careful next time to avoid spreading rumor and misinformation.

              Hey, I appreciate your response. I totally get the anger, and I can see lots of possible ways that this wave of age verification policies could bite folks in the ass. Thanks for being reasonable, I hope you have a great day.
