Pretty easy to explain. Israelis, just like other people read HN too. They don't like such articles, so they flag them. If an article receives several flags, it's marked as flagged.

Also, HN is tech site, not political site, so I'm not surprised by this, such articles may be considered off-topic.

It's because of an agenda which goes beyond the politics the present conflict. For example, just in the last 24 hours, there were at least two submissions here about Jewish/Israeli sexual violence. Both were old articles (so not news) about crimes that occur in every population. We don't see this sort of interest in digging up dirt on other small minority groups.

(Not that any particular submitter is to blame; the issue is systematic.)

What is that agenda exactly?

And which stories? The one about the Israeli US Attorney letting an Israeli pedophile flee the US?

I used to think that it’s beneficial to separate tech from politics but I’m convinced now that it’s a delusional stance. Politics is in tech whether we like it or not, CEOs have their political agenda and ideologies and often talk about them openly, their products directly impact people’s lives, some change the entire society. In the case of the Gaza genocide, Lavender and Gospel systems are the direct enabelers of such scale of devastation. I think it’s far from being off-topic. In a nutshell, no politics is itself a political opinion (that happens to favor the dominant party).

Let's assume that I have an idea on my mind that could potentially change the power generation and usage landscape and society (think 80% efficient solar power AND 80% reduction in power usage in data centers AND increase power output from most existing power plants by 30% AND solve power storage problem), but I wonder how should I approach distributing it. Should I somehow prevent Chinese, Israelis and USA from having this and using it to enhance oppression of other nations? How would you approach such political problem as a CEO?

Silly me.

Here I thought the genocide of the Palestinian people was a violent and malignant land grab and ethnic cleansing with the added touch of being religiously righteous in the eyes of the oppressors, but you've opened my eyes that these efforts are in fact meant to achieve "80% efficient solar power AND 80% reduction in power usage in data centers AND increase power output from most existing power plants by 30% AND solve power storage problem".

Thank you for your enlightening perspective.

I mean, I am still wondering how any of those metrics justify killing and starving and entire population, but I guess, "line go up!"
