Hacker News is an American website. Hacker News allows political discussion. Israel is very relevant to American politics, many would argue too much so, but in any case, why shouldn't it be discussed here?

Read their submission history. They talk about "radical extremist Islamist regime in Iran" all the time. Seems rather odd to be this cagey when people are getting sick and tired of Israel's constant war crimes.

Because it's not intellectually interesting and because it falls in the off-topic category based on the guidelines of this site. > If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic People don't come to Hacker News to talk about wars. They come to get away from wars.

Nuremberg was only possible because Germany was invaded succesfully by allied forces. All this war crime talk is nonsense. Either talk about sending your own children to war against Israel, or criticize them in other real terms. There are no war crimes against countries who don't recognize the ICJ, and even then, unless the judiciary of the country is consenting, a war crime charge isn't pursued. It isn't a competiti…

if you are american, cleaning your house involves going head to head with the zionist lobby which works for israel's interests. so i'm afraid the matter of israel can't be avoided here.

It’s not clear what "revisionist" means in this context, especially when pointing to Dhimmi. I’ve never heard of it before today. I’m aware that Jews and Muslims live in Iran today. There is historical evidence, including written accounts, that some arrangement (Dhimmi?) existed over 1,200 years ago—whether social, legal, cultural, or, most likely, a combination. Under this system, the religions coexisted without the…

today. I’m aware that Jews and Muslims live in Iran today That is true, in the sense that there are more than two jews left in Iran. 5x as many Iranian jews live in the USA now. 20x in Israel. Iran has a population of almost 100 million, and the Hollywood Bowl could seat its jewish population twice over. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_Jews

I found this: https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2025/11/22/iran-drops-the-facad...

Which has been enlightening. Thank you for highlighting the tenuous situation in Iran, which is not favorable toward Jews. This does shed light on the affair and seems credible to me.

You posted real discussions and opinions, the fact that you flagged them doesn't change the fact that you took some sort of value to the tune of spending effort posting replies beforehand. What I'm struggling to understand is why the call to shut down discussion on this topic when Israel is quite blatantly committing war crimes. Don't pretend you don't see it.

"One high-profile journalist targeted in this way was Al Jazeera reporter Anas Al-Sharif, who was killed along with four colleagues in an Israeli airstrike earlier this month. After his death, the Israeli army quickly circulated documents claiming he had been a Hamas operative since 2013. "Yet even if taken at face value, the files showed his last contact with Hamas was in 2017 – years before the current war," said F…

I need you to know that you're defending and justifying war crimes while blindly swallowing the propaganda of a genocidal regime. Needless to say, it's not exactly making you look too good.

> Israel does not have the right to exist as a state in chronic violation of international law

Cool, now enforce it. Oh? You can't? "International law" is just a bunch of words some people wrote down? Okay, thanks for letting me know.
