When Gazans talk to the outside world (or at least America), obviously they reveal info on what's happening in Gaza; Well, Palantir (American company if you don't recall it) shares info on the calls received from Gaza with unit 8200 who obviously don't want info leaking to the outside world who then target those civilians:

So that strike on unit 8200? A cause for celebration because a bunch of civilian murderers are painting the floor.

googles unit 8200

It's just a bunch of dweebs mashing tree commands on a cmd window set to color 0a

gets bombed

Commander apparently resigned because of the bombing

These people deserve embarrassment and mockery

I decided to google it myself and found this portion on wikipedia:

"The unit is composed primarily of 18–21 year olds. As a result of the youth of the soldiers in the unit, and the shortness of their service period, the unit relies on selecting recruits with the ability for rapid adaptation and speedy learning.[4] Afterschool programs for 16–18 year olds, teaching computer coding and hacking skills, also serve as feeder programs for the unit.[5] Former Unit 8200 soldiers have, after completing their military service, gone on to founding and occupying top positions in many international IT companies and in Silicon Valley."

Yemen out here taking out future Silicon Valley chuds ahead of time.

You mean to tell me ten years in IT with powershell, VM, active directory, and access database experience results in me living hand to mouth but fascist hogs who only know how to change the color of their command prompt get to come, live cushy lives and make this already miserable place more unbearable?

I shouldn't be surprised but this is rage inducing.

Yemen is doing me and other real workers here a favor by keeping these pigs out sending them to the deepest depth of hell.

Duck duck go only told me about the guy resigning and that it was in relation to Oct 7. I had to go to a different search engine just to find out what you guys were talking about

DuckDuckGo is just a Bing proxy. I use Startpage instead, which proxies both Google and Bing

I got there through yandex. Side note: I've been following the Ukraine Russia war from a propaganda perspective. It's been interesting watching tactics tested in Ukraine being polished in Israel
