Looks like exactly what I was looking for thanks!

How do you et HASS to name them ? i,e. what names does it chose ? So basically you leave the location out of the name as that is shown in the area anyway ? Thing is, that sometimes you need to choose a device from a dropdown, and in these dropdowns they don't show the area, so having the location sometime gives more information that is missing

So if a device has multiple entities, you rename each one ? i.e. a hygrometer that measures humidity and temperature, you name each one separately ?

So ${type_of_control}.${location}.${device_utility}.${number} ?

Anyway to check this via the HA dashboard?

You have a very dichotomous view of this subject.

All I was trying to convince you is that Israel is not all evil. I can give you countless examples where Palestinians have been treated very well by Israel and by IDF soldiers.

I don't blame you for your haitred. It's a product of your experience. I wish you all the well and that you will find peace one day (all of us).

Palestinians were unaware

Of the UN partition plan ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Partition_Plan_for_Palestine#:~:text=Nations.%5B138%5D-,Arabs%20in%20Palestine,-Haj%20Amin%20al

never agreed

Correct

I know "Shovrim Shtika". They are doing important work.

Like I said, there are bad apples and bad things are being done.

But it's not everyone. And not even the majority.

When I was serving, I have never encountered a situation where any of my team members did anything like that. But I know these things exist. In most of the cases I heard of, these things were taken very seriously inside the IDF and people were kicked out and sentenced.

Unfortunately, occupation is corrupting the soul and in recent years the cases have grown in numbers. Add to that the horrible government Israel currently has and you get a shit show.

Israel makes mistakes and have very bad policies. I am the last one to defend it.

However, IDF is not a murderous organization as you think of it. There are clear rules on how to engage in combat and strict written moral rules that everyone should follow. I know because I served there and was taught these rules and had to memorize https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDF_Code_of_Ethics

However, people are people. There are bad apples. People also just make mistakes and Israel has (too) many different opinions and fragments and ideologies that I have nothing in common with. So yeah it's complicated.

Your view of Israel as one murderous genocidal entity is not different from the view a lot of Israelis have of the Palestinians, especially after October 7th, that is sad and will not bring the conflict anywhere to an end

Jews have lived in this land. They were given part of that land again after ww2 by a UN decision. Arabs that were living there were also given part.

Jews were willing to share their part of the land with the Arabs, as equal citizens

Jews accepted the offer, Arabs didn't and declared war.

Everything since then just went downhill

Personally, I'm in favor of going back to the original resolution and have two countries. But if having sharing one country will end the conflict, then by all means...

Unfortunately both sides don't have enough interest of solving this conflict...

It IS the government

Then according to your same logic, it is a genocidal government as well, as they murdered 1200 people in few hours.

Hamas doesn't embed itself

Thier fighters are fighting from within the population. It's by design, and there's evidence that they prevent the innocent population from fleeing the war zone even by shooting people who try to flee.

I have as much sympathy for them as I do for visitors to a slave plantation caught up in a slave uprising. Which is to say, some, but not too much. The blame should lay on the family that took their children to a plantation, knowing it was a plantation.

This analogy makes me understand that you see no legitimacy what so ever for the existence of the state of Israel, or Jews in that land, no matter on which borders.

I won't go into the history of Jews in the land of Israel as I don't think it will convince you with anything. You think of Jews as a colonial (white) power occupying a foreign land. Let's agree to disagree.

The situation with the Palestinians in Gaza is very tragic and sad. At no point did I ignore it. War is horrible and especially when Hamas embeds itself inside the civilian population, people get hurt and it's very sad.

I think that you, however, are completely oblivious to the suffering on the other side. There are still little children held hostage in the tunnels under Gaza. Call it resistance, freedom fighting as much as you want. It's no less tragic.

Even though Hamas started this round, the question of who started it is irrelevant. The relevant question is how does it end. No side is willing to make any compromise and I fear this will go on for years still.
