Most likely because of the current events and the indiscriminate and out of proportion reaction by Israel towards Gazans. Was just reading some news today that Israel approved more Israeli settlements in West Bank. It seems that this conflict will only end when Israel will have killed/deported all Palestinians. Now how come only bad news are coming from Israel? Is there anything else interesting happening in Israel to take steam away from this conflict? They do have a tech scene with startups and all that. I've read some stuff like that on HN but nothing interesting or out of the ordinary is happening in that area at the moment...
I wanted to point out that I think the HN community collectively believe that journalism as a whole is very important for society. But that only explains why this story has been upvoted.
Do you notice any other themes in the stories that you see being upvoted?
What other main themes do you see in the other upvoted stories that worry you.
Is it possible that there are fewer stories about the Hamas atrocities because there are fewer and there isn't much to discuss? I think they are unquestionably evil and should be imprisoned or killed. And that is an absolute belief that doesn't waver even if I also think Israel are doing a bad job of
It seems your trying to build a false narrative to equate HN = too many posts about Israel. To justify some of your other questions in this thread.
Israel is commiting genocidal acts that are illegal according to International law. They are starving a population of almost 2 million, collective punishment and indiscriminately killing families.
Sorry it bothers you when you see fellow HN Humans act on compassion for other Humans and spread awareness about this. By your post history I get the feeling you'd rather see it swept under the rug and discussion silenced. Israel has a professional well funded misinformation arm. PSA.
Either HN is politics free or it is not. As heavily moderated as it is, it is either neutral or it is not.
> Israel is commiting genocidal acts that are illegal according to International law.
If you read my other comments, you know words have meaning. Genocide is very specific. There are multiple countries delivering aid into Gaza, which is wild since Israel is apparently trying to starve them. I wonder if Israel knows about the 100s of tons of food going through the Rafa border every day. Weird that Israel would miss that.
> collective punishment and indiscriminately killing families
Indiscriminately killing families looks like shooting rockets you can't control at a civilian cities, which is a war crime. This is what Hamas has been doing since the start of the war.
Living in a war zone generally means people die. War is bad. Having an army fighting without uniforms (a war crime) among a densely populated civilian city is really bad. Any collateral damage is the fault of the terrorist group that started the war and is still holding civilian hostages (also a war crime).
.. Then bombing their innocent families homes is bad.
We should talk about bad things paid for by our taxes and supported by us indirectly.
Discussion on Reddit+HN shutdown/down voted by organized Zionist groups. Also bad.
