Strange that a 9th October article shows up at the top of the feed given the events of the day in Sydney.

Typical ad hominem diversion. I listened to the related podcast episode of FTM yesterday evening on Spotify, and today decided to search more information and read the coinciding articles. I have no control about what gets upvoted here, since I don't work for an agency or troll farm. Look at my submission history. Another article I submitted related to Israel (Correllium getting acquired by Cellebrite) got no uptake whatsoever. It was never discussed here, at all.

I oppose civilians being targeted by terrorism, and that also obviously includes Israelians. For example, I was very much shocked by Oct 7.

I also do have a problem with Israel's alleged genocide by the current government.

I don't believe any of the above makes me antisemite. It is very typical of agents of a certain agency to frame like that though.

Agency is what those people you call trolls don't have. Leave them be, you don't want to end up lynched.
> Israelians

Israelis

> I don't believe any of the above makes me antisemite. It is very typical of agents of a certain agency to frame like that though.

An astonishing pair of sentences.

So astonishing there's a Wikipedia article about the phenomenon [1].

As someone with no dog in this race, I’m genuinely struggling to distinguish folks calling for a global intifada and railing against Zionists from anti-Semites. Particularly when they blame—to the point of dismissal—rising anti-Semitism (like, block or shoot up a synagogue anti-Semitism) on Israel.
I see. So who are these "agents of a certain agency" you're referring to? Can you be specific?
This is a tech article and has nothing to do with Sydney.
What happened in Sydney?
Terrible event. How is this relevant to HN and its topics of discussion?
Is a CEO of a company serving in the military 40 years ago relevant?
maybe the "data sold to" part
This was probably random, as are most things like this on HN.

That is terrible news.
