That's a real stretch. You could argue any post on HN is slightly related to tech and there for should be allowed. However, even if that were the case, then comments about Khashoggi should be allowed as well as for it's directly related and was also previously discussed on HN.

That breaks a number of the site guidelines, including: "Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
