  People calling for my people and my nation to be wiped off the map. (And I don't try to get Hacker News blocked by their ISP or cache provider. I understand that an open forum will have speech like this.)

    I mean actual links so we can see what you're talking about

      One of many, many comments saying that the country I hold a citizenship in should be eliminated; the land it exists on is "occupied" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32701383 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32701383 Threats that what happened in Germany in the 30s will happen again, and it's deserved: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32701442 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32701442 People blaming Jews/Jewish conspiracies for various actions: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32692308 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32692308 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32691199 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32691199 I'd like to point out that I understand what's "vile" to one person isn't to another. I've had my posts reported as "hate speech" on reddit for saying that "the Fat Acceptance movement is dangerous" and that "Obesity is wrong." Banned speech should have a very high bar -- direct, specific threats of physical harm.

        Notice as soon as you bring this up, they stop replying. Those comments are really awful and wtf upvoted....

        For the first link at least, they seem to be talking specifically about parts of Palestine occupied in defiance of international law and agreements being returned to them, not Israel broadly being eliminated. Israel/Palestine border disputes are massively controversial, so I don’t dispute people do say things like your summary of the comment, I just don’t believe the comment you posted is that. In fact I think your summary is a bad faith reading of the comment. Some of those other links are vile though.
