"Sovereign is he who decides on the exception" - Carl Schmitt. Always different rules for Israel vs. any other "normal country", and that in itself tells you all you need to know

Indeed. Israel is the only country that can get the majority of UN condemnations for merely existing.

That's because its existence is predicated on the ethnic cleansing of indigenous Palestinians. It was literally formed via the Nakba, a brutal crime against humanity and it's been maintained through terrorism and now genocide. What's the point of the UN existing if it doesn't at least condemn these actions?

> Hitler was right about jews? Anti semitism actually has grounds? Asking purely out of curiosity.

WTF? We've banned this account.

Threads related to Israel regularly fill with the worst violations of the site guidelines that we see (and yes, these come from all sides). There's so much that we can't even moderate it all. But outright anti-semitic trolling is its own category of hell.

If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future. They're here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

and Russia is now doing the same in Hungary... :(

Russia has no resorces to do that, no matter how many times you retell the myth about "troll factories", "Russia did Brexit" and all the other lies / half truths which US, UK, Israel and other western states told and continue to tell to divert the attention from the enormous scale of their propaganda industry.

This is the most disconnected-from-reality comment that I have read on this website, ever?

How do you square your opinion with multiple NoKings days at the top of the list of largest protests in US history? Perhaps that there are mini demonstrations (as you have described) every day is a sign that the frustration is more persistent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_protests_and_demonstra...

The size of these “protests” compared to their complete lack of results proves my point.

Protests don't create results, they raise awareness to move people's minds.

Same Slovenia which Prime Minister of Slovakia Robert Fico was shot and critically injured in 2024 after, certainly not related, his government's opposition to military assistance to Ukraine and of hypocritical face of the EU inaction against Israel "treatment" of Palestinians.

Nope, not the same Slovenia. That Slovenia was actually Slovakia.

I stand corrected thanks and sorry

The accusation is that Israel manipulates HN results. I responded that they do not because if they had been, there would surely be even one single positive article about Israel in the entire two decades of Hacker News' existence. There is not. Do please try to keep up.

Yeah true, these protests raise awareness that the people opposing this stuff are a bunch of non-serious airheads.

Israel has recently invaded Lebanon, started a regional war with Iran, and has been recognized as committing genocide in Gaza. The UN believes the IDF uses rape as a matter of policy and has published a report with quite a bit of evidence. Hearing Israel is meddling with elections is like, yeah, if you are doing that other stuff I'm not shocked when you also do this.

> why are american taxpayers subsidizing Israel exactly? The same reason USA is subsidizing half the middle eastern countries - its a strategic location near extremely important transit routes, near important resources, and right between major powers so the region doesn't squarely fall in any major power's sphere of influence and thus up to be influenced. I dont know why all these conspiracy theories think the usa is…

Israel controls no strategic resources, unlike the other allies the USA has in the Middle East. Your comment completely ignores the long history Israel has of rigging the US elections by funding their pet congressmen.

wtf is this antisemitic bullshit.

Israel isn’t even in the top 10 of countries paying politicians.
