I wish politics articles wouldn't make it to the top page of Hacker News. There's already enough political discussion in a million other places.

People don't have to hide being anti-Israel. It's fine. You can be anti-Uganda, anti-France. Be anti-whatever country you like.

Sure, but I don't think is right to use their moderation powers to bend the guideline of this forum to push those views.

If you think dang is trying to steer the conversation in an anti-israel direction, you are completely removed from reality. I've never seen dang operate in any controversial or bad faith way on this site. He's just trying to maintain the quality of the discourse.

Are we allowed to discuss the objective facts on the ground in Gaza or are those facts anti-semitic?

"Most" does not mean "all".
