If much of the world wants you dead (your words, not mine) then maybe it's time to look in a mirror.
Edit:
HN commenters are so thick. First of all GP says everyone hate Israel. So that must include you the reader of this comment. If you actually take that shit serious and then have a problem with my comment instead all I can say is that you should look in a mirror too. It's a fat lie. Not everyone hates Israel. Actually most on HN loves Israel and always heavily upvote pro-israel stories.
- knowaveragejoe 5y agoElaborate on what you think they should see in the mirror.

- shillforhumanty 5y agoSelf-awareness is a respectable quality that troubled nations should strive for. It can win more people over than today's mess of propaganda.
- Daho0n 5y agoAsk GP. His words not mine. Or are you agreeing to his FUD that everyone, including you, hate Israel?
- mamon 5y agoIf one person thinks you're an asshole they might simply be wrong about you. If everyone in the world thinks you're an asshole then you, almost by definiton, are one. There's a reason why there's a separate word in most languages for "anti-semitism" but not for "anti-italianism" or "anti-brasilianism".
- ars 5y agoI see you are not even pretending not to be antisemitic. Most antisemites hide under cover of "anti-zionisim". And to other people reading this, this poster seriously thinks that antisemitism is because "all Jews are assholes". I'm truly shocked to see such things on this site, although maybe I should expect that.
- whimsicalism 5y agoEesh, I am not a fan of the modern Israeli state, which I consider to be pseudo-apartheid, but this is straight up anti-semitism. Surprised to see that here.
- knowaveragejoe 5y agoI'm unfortunately not surprised - there is a strange "intellectual dark web" bent among the HN crowd, despite it being transparently pseudo-intellectual garbage.
- ars 5y agoThis is why when Jews tell you someone is not "anti-zionist", they are actually antisemitic, you should probably believe them. True anti-zionists, who are not also antisemitic, are extremely rare.
- whimsicalism 5y agoIncredibly rare? I am one of them, and my many anti-zionist jewish friends are not anti-semitic either. I don't deny that anti-semitism exists, but to suggest that a principled opposition to Israel is "extremely rare" is bogus.

- systemvoltage 5y agoIsrael is a democracy, has human rights, conducts elections, has free trade and great tech scene, currency is stable and they've got one of the best intelligence agencies. Israel's population is some 9 million which is half of Beijing city and little bit larger than SF Bay Area. Let's contrast it with fundamentalist Iranian islamic government, hell bent on developing nuclear weapons despite of non-proliferation treaty signed by the whole world in 1960's, hanging their journalists and publicly executing dissidents. I am not sure there is a shred of doubt who is the good guy and who is the bad guy here.
- whimsicalism 5y agoIran is a danger, but Saudi Arabia isn't? Israel is occupying Palestine, mobility controlled by checkpoints and passes a la South Africa, and actively takes actions to ensure that non-jewish people do not gain a majority in the country. Israel extends a "right of return" only to displaced people who are of a certain ethnicity.
- systemvoltage 5y agoWhen did I bring up Saudi Arabia?
- yholio 5y ago> hell bent on developing nuclear weapons despite of non-proliferation treaty signed by the whole world in 1960's I have no ideea why you think this is relevant to your otherwise valid point. Iran and Israel are very similar here, one never signed the NPT and other signed it but is in non-compliance with the terms. Both states essentially don't care about what the other countries think of their nuclear activities - as is their right under international law.
- Daho0n 5y agoIt's all blah blah blah to me. The point is that GP is full of crap. Not everyone hates Israel as you yourself have just proven. Yet posts like it are seen multiple times at every thread that mention Israel.
