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.
Where dang lives, it was about 4am when your comment was posted and about 11pm where I am. None of your comments had been seen by any moderators till now. They have been flagged by many community members, because they clearly breach the guidelines and the guidelines apply equally no matter the topic or side. Dang has gone to great efforts to allow the Israel/Palestine issue to be given exposure and extensive discussion here, on multiple notable occasions. Please stop posting inflammatory comments. It's been easily observable over the past 2+ years that we have no problem with this topic being discussed on HN, but the guidelines still apply to everyone. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
