As I'm writing it got moved to the second page, position #55 Without being flagged, which is the same action but more cowardly. 73 points, 23 minutes ago, 14 comments. Can't even claim it triggered a flame war filter. It's bad. edit: it got flagged now, wasn't when I wrote this.

its been unflagged now but its at position 61. which is basically dead. i think it came back at pos 34 (still not front page which it was on) with Tell HN: added to the title, but a minute later went to 61 (third page).

Is this actually happening? Palestinians are no longer a people? To the point of being erased from the internet? Really? A human somewhere is moving this lever. Someone is actually trying to erase a whole group of people. Incredible. If you are reading this: I hope you feel conscious responsibility for what you are doing. You are doing something wrong!

  It is only a 70-80 years since WW II and the Holocaust. There haven't been much change in the dynamics of humans (culture, genetic or nation wise). I think people assume, on a daily basis, that it can't happen again so that they are not distracted by such an outcome. The events happening today shows that such a comeback is not out of the table. There are no strong safe guards out there. And the people in charge will go for it if it suits their agenda. Polarization is also much easier today. People don't need to read a full book to get propaganda but just watch a few images or a video that triggers the right reaction. The middle-east seems to be close to the point of no return on a full on scale apocalyptic war. I am looking at oil prices which suggests that all parties are bluffing and hoping that's the case.

    This whole situation is because of WW2/holocaust. The UN decided to give the Jews a land they could govern so they wouldn't need to worry about government oppression after the holocaust. Of course the member states decided to give away land that was not theirs and had people living there already. It's no surprise conflict has been smoldering ever since.
