Owen Jones is a UK political commentator and activist who reaches a large audience via Youtube etc. He has covered the latest Israel Palestinian war extensively and continuously from the start. is that a fair summary?

    The parent submission is off-topic and spreads Jew hatred (attack on a person because Robbie Gibb is Jew and should be removed from board, similar to Columbia University president Claire Shipman comments). As someone who's grandparents experienced similar attacks during Stalinism because they were Jewish aka "zionists", this is extremely scary and totalitarian. I just don't understand how this is allowed.

      experienced similar attacks That's a very good reason not to reach for dehumanizing tropes like 'vile scum' on HN or really anywhere else.

      I agree the thread is a trainwreck and we let it fall off the front page due to all the toxicity. We'll go through and ensure all the guidelines breaches are flagged and see if further action needs to be taken against other users. This is standard moderation but it takes time. We need everyone to hold themselves to a high standard if they expect us to hold others to a high standard.
