Seeing as these discussions are always insta-flagged and you need to revive them to allow for discussion, have you considered adding 'Israel' and 'Palestine to a set of keywords you need to approve to be set as flagged instead of letting automation take over?

Having a human in the loop prevents bad-faith actors from abusing the system to suppress information and discussions.

I think we probably already see the most important ones, such as the one today. If there's an article that particularly deserves having the flags turned off, people can always bring it to our attention at hn@ycombinator.com.
That's kind of a paradox. If people instaflag it, then the chance I will see it is very low unless I'm the submitter.
That's true, but I thought you were asking if we would create a list for us mods to review.
