Right. We will be defending Israel from the incoming Iranian ballistic missiles after they kill innocent civilians on a scale larger than they already have been, prompting a response from Iran large enough that the iron dome is not capable of handing it. Which totally doesn't make us participants. We're not directly doing the bloodshed, just enabling it and defending Israel from feeling any consequences.

Genuine question. What do you think should happen with people that have committed violent crimes? If they have no interest in voluntary rehabilitation, imprisonment with the goal of rehabilitation seems to be a better alternative to just letting them roam freely and do as they please. And it seems a lot better than the death penalty. Specifically for reasons like what we're seeing here. You can release someone from prison if evidence comes later that casts doubt on their guilt. It doesn't prevent the harm that has already been caused, but it gives them an opportunity to take back their life. You can't un-execute somebody.
If the prisons are focused on rehabilitation and reintegration instead of just keeping people locked up and treating them like they're not human? Yes. Do I believe prisons in the US are like that? No.
This is such a nothing argument. If all you're talking about is a summary of a book, people have been able to get that long before AI. I can go to a wikipedia entry right now of any book and look at a plot summary. The author does not get paid for me looking at the summary on Wikipedia. There are numerous other sites where you can find summaries of books. And if you're asking an AI for a summary of a specific book by a specific author, what attribution would you like to see? The user already knows the source because they're specifically asking for a summary of that source.
A bigger concern would be the AI reproducing your works and using them in responses.
Not going to pretend to be able to read the minds of Hamas. But it seems like the idea was that taking hostages would give them leverage to negotiate. Because although the Israeli government generally regard Palestinians as subhuman barbarians, surely they wouldn't risk the lives of the hostages by retaliating full force. And it seems in general they were partially right. The general population of Israel is calling for a ceasefire because they are concerned for the safety of the hostages and want their friends and family back. But Netanyahu seems to have very little interest in negotiations.
