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.

Yes, and we won't let HN turn into a current affairs site, but this site has always had a certain amount of political content, and that's why this particular thread is happening. For more information, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39146184 and the links there.

Is there a reason why Oct 7th (the massacre that started this escalation) was not discussed?

I was specifically asking about Oct 7th coverage and the coverage this event.

While I don't agree with your recount of history, it's off-topic to my question to @dang

In fact, the presence and tone of comments like yours vs the lacking and flagging of pro-Israel gets exactly to the root of my question.
