I feel like I was just flamebated.
I will conclude by saying at some point (and that point may even be reached) genocide denial will not be tolerated on HN, it is not a matter of more HN agreeing that Israel is conducting a genocide (thought that is a probable precursor) but rather that HN users will start treating genocide denial as the form of hate speech that it is.
My conduct up to this point will be deemed insignificant—and almost entirely forgotten about—by then, no matter how heated I become. But many HN users—including me—will remember how difficult it was to get to that point, and how much hate was allowed on HN during an ongoing genocide. I hope some HN users will see their own guilt in participating in a culture which treated genocide denial as a simple disagreement.

I'll try harder not to sound like I'm barbing you, and, as part of that, I'm getting the hell out of this thread.)
