This is not a political discussion site. Keep your leanings to yourself. These people are entrepeneurs trying to create something in a very difficult environment. Your comment is pure defamation and uncalled for unless you have any shred of evidence that they personally contribute to terrorist attacks. The idea that all people living in Gaza are involved in the war is ludicrous.

Unfortunately it is. There are many posts on social and political issues.

Yeah, that's bad. On the other hand, well-intentioned voting rings due to lack of familiarity with how HN operates (which seems to be the case here) are forgivable if people email us at hn@ycombinator.com and promise not to do it again. It's the more insidious types of vote manipulation that are most worrisome, and I don't see that here, just overenthusiasm and a case of noobness.

#35Gaza Sky Geeks is the haven of gaza's most creative, resilient entrepreneurs and what it gives and offers slams the door in the face of adversities that life in Gaza brings in these promising people's way on a daily basis and opens instead many other doors for opportunities and abilities. Your support serves a noble cause!

You're both right. There are such posts, yet HN is not a political site. The balance/tension there is delicate and important.
The problem with your comment upthread is that it was uncivil because it took the thread into political battle. We all know how difficult if not intractable that particular battle is, and how dreadfully easy to reduce everything to it. The pull of that black hole, strong as it may be, needs to be resisted if we're to have the civil, substantive discussion we're hoping for on HN.
Please assume good faith when commenting here. (We're going to add that to the site guidelines btw.)
