Why can't we discuss Israel on HN?
I just had a post shot to #2 on the front page, only to have it flagged 5 minutes later: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46218640
It’s clearly relevant to this audience but it feels like there’s a very coordinated attack on any post that exposes Israeli crimes. Can we get some more moderation protection against brigading such posts? It doesn’t look good on HN that we’re essentially operating as an Israeli propaganda arm, censorship and all. I don’t think it’s the mods doing this, but they’re not stopping it.
Because that particular article is biased in framing the pager attacks as a "terrorist attack" while, actually, those attacks were precisely targeted at Hezbollah personnel.
Those weren't devices for personal - or civilian - use, after all.
I'm just guessing here: Because the "discussion" is either direct propaganda, or people affected by the propaganda spreading the propaganda.
Because everyone can see through your propaganda compaign. HN is overrun by Qatari/Iranian/Pakistani sock puppets and it is very obvious.
Just looking at the OP posts...
Certain topics and keywords seem to get nuked VERY fast in new.
UN RES 1701 is being violated - in Lebanon -- the public news suppression is total from - HN point of view there is two questions - HOW and WHY -- The IDF has created a new adware insertion tools - that has the ability to drop malware by clicking on an ad -- infecting cell phones in 150 countries -- the test of the tool was to shutdown 28% of the internet in the last 30 days ( Cloudflare spin team reports 1 man gave a bad updated ) -- This was done Three times. Second this new tool can create false ad impressions - generating real profit from ads no human every saw - and because of the placement of malware the SLPP ( London based ) lawfare team can sue for millions if you don't pay. for google, meta and XAl the loss with be in the 100's millions on 4.5 Billion in total revenue. The real target is REAL news UN/1701 and YOU.
It’s fair. We don’t discuss the October 7th massacre either, and that must be discussed before we discuss anything Israel has done since.
I think you’d find other sites a better recipient of your submissions. A cursory glance at your post history indicates the ‘Israel’ portion of the article far exceeds any ‘Tech’ interest.
