It's not inexplicable.

If you want to play Israel vs Palestine and spend all day making up new self-indulgent transgressive theories about how "they" are good and "we" are bad, go to Bluesky.

People come to HN to talk tech, and if nothing else, to get a respite from the "you are bad" west is bad" "US is bad" drumbeat. If you don't want that, that's cool but don't try to force your lifestyle on us.

Your post was flagged, by myself and presumably many others, because it violated the site guidelines against politics.

There's nothing "reductive" about being anti-Zionist. That's just base level humanity and many, many people from every part of the political spectrum share those views. Is Tucker Carlson a leftist?
