Funnily enough, this equal symbol in the if statement wouldn't be, in a lot of languages, a comparison symbol but an assignment symbol.
This means that every person would be considered Palestinian, even before determining if they're Hamas. So even if you correct the else statement, everyone would still die.
Close enough for IDF work!

Fuck Israel.
Another Lavender user questioned whether humans’ role in the selection process was meaningful. “I would invest 20 seconds for each target at this stage, and do dozens of them every day. I had zero added-value as a human, apart from being a stamp of approval. It saved a lot of time.”
