  Do you know what apostrophes are for? Do you follow any rules when using them, or do you just 'season to taste'?

    what is not substantive about raising awareness regarding the genocide that is underway in Palestine? Trying to silence this makes you complicit in the abuses occurring there.

      The problem with replying properly to a comment like this is that it would take me perhaps an hour to put the pieces of the reply together and perhaps another half an hour to go over it to make sure most readers will get what I mean. The more inflammatory the topic, the more critical it is to avoid misunderstandings. It's not that I don't think the question matters or that I don't care or don't want to reply properly—especially to such a horrible accusation as justifying genocide. It's that I literally—in the general case—can't. Even 5 of me couldn't. So I'll just say that your comment broke this guideline, among others: "Comments should get more civil and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive." The only thing that posts like "gotta be careful, might get bombed by the israeli's" and "what a slimy little weasel he is" do is rile people up and make this site worse. So you can't post like that here. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
