How is this 'flagged'?
- docdeek 2y agoHacker News Guidelines: Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon... If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
- Qem 2y agoThis is a significant update on an event of historical impact.
- 1over137 2y agoIf they get arrested it’d be of historical impact. These warrants mean little really.
- lesuorac 2y agoIt's not a significant update. When the evergiven got stuck in the suez canel; if a court issued an arrest warrant for the captain that wouldn't have a historical impact. In a hundred years from now, the leaders of Isreal that people talk about will be the first, the last and the second to last. Similar to how when people talk about the Roman Empire (~500 year span) it's just Cesear.
- kayodelycaon 2y agoEh… I’ve never heard of a warrant being more than a footnote in history. Results are what ends up in the history books.
- jazzyjackson 2y agoSo let it be discussed on HistorianNews
- dang 2y agoUsers flagged it, as is common for the most divisive topics. I've turned the flags off now, in keeping with HN's standard practices: some (but only some) stories with political overlap are allowed, and in the case of a Major Ongoing Topic (MOT) we prefer the stories that contain Significant New Information (SNI).
