It's a basic need for people to feel safe. I wish that for everybody and most of all for the children of this world. Legal judgements often make it to the front page of HN as they are as independent as we manage as humans. I don't feel having this post slanders Israel. It would be more interesting to understand what part of the UN investigation you disagree with.

  What is legal about this post? You are aware that the UN is not a legal body and by definition investigators are not judges. You’re actively reversing innocent until proven guilty here

> You owe Hacker News users two things, one a statement of what political content will be allowed and what won’t and two a declaration of your political boundaries. They owe us nothing. Except perhaps sticking to their past commitments. You can always ask for a refund of your membership fee as last resort. HN is not a journalistic endeavour. > I say this since I have never seen a pro-Israel post on this platform Seems irrelevant as the OP is actually not anti-Isreal. > but as an Israeli, I want to feel safe on my news platform Having to see criticism of the actions of the government and military of the nation you live in when they step over ethical lines is not a threat to your safety. It's healthy.

  Serious question: Has anyone accused (I’d say slandered but it’s besides the point) your nation of genocide on a platform you trust? Does your nation have mandatory conscription? Does your nation face mainstream media, politicians, artists, actors and other call to annihilate it? This post on Hacker News genuinely made me feel less safe here: not because of words or criticism (which I am the first to support and accept and encourage even) but because of lies being used to encourage the murder of Jews. The murder of Charlie Kirk isn’t a coincidence: we’ve reached a fever pitch where now many people that others should be murdered for their views and words and not for their actions

    As an American, the answers to these questions are yes, no (subject to draft), and yes. Iran considers us to be "the great Satan", to give an example.
