Your comment was flagged by community members, most likely for being flamebait, which is explicitly against the guidelines. The Israel/Palestine topic is discussed extensively on HN each time there is a major breaking story with significant new information. Dang and I have gone to great efforts to create space for these discussions and keep them as healthy as possible [1]. Some posts about the topic get flagged by some community members for being off-topic or likely to start flamewars, but this has nothing to do with 'silencing' any particular viewpoint. HN isn't the place for day-to-day political debate, regardless of the specific topic. That's been the consensus for many years.

Hm... This is a fascinating puzzle. Is it AIPAC?
