Israel Bars Palestinians from Exporting Produce via Jordan
- yostrovs 7y agoHow's this relevant for HN?
- ryanlol 7y agoIt’s interesting, certainly doesn’t fall into the “ If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.”-category. Why would this not be relevant for HN?
- yostrovs 7y agoIt's some kind of obscure internal agricultural export dispute. Perhaps you can explain why that's interesting..
- ryanlol 7y agoObscure international agricultural export dispute? I don’t know about you, but that sounds very HN to me. I’m not sure if that was intentional or not, but your choice of words (internal) seems to hint at why you might not want to see this discussed.
- yostrovs 7y agoIf this dispute was between any other peoples it wouldn't be here at all. Try to remember the last time something between Tibet and China being discussed here.
- ryanlol 7y agoOh fuck off, that’s a regular topic on HN (as is the plight of the Uyghurs). You can operate the search yourself and confirm this. What are you hinting at anyway? Just spit it out. >I’m not sure if that was intentional or not, but your choice of words (internal) seems to hint at why you might not want to see this discussed. Was I right or not?
- yostrovs 7y agoUyghurs don't live in Tibet and Israel's agriculture policy doesn't compare to concentration camps, so yes, you're an antisemite.
- ryanlol 7y agoI wouldn’t throw around such accusations so lightly, they could very well have life changing consequences. People have lost their livelihoods over far lesser insults.
- legacynl 7y agoOh yes, this obscure Israel-Palestine dispute.
