Lol. If Israel could manipulate HN do you think so many anti-Israel posts would appear on the front page, and each mitigating or nuanced comment about Israel would be flagged so quickly? No, Israel does not control or manipulate HN.

- submeta 7mo agoMaybe there are lots more articles posted on HN criticising Israel, and only a fraction remains, because they win the up- and downvote war?
- rendall 7mo agoNot a single pro-Israel article, nor even any article that even mentions Israel neutrally, has ever reached the front page of HN in the entire history of HN. So, no. Israel is not "winning the up- and downvote war" of HN.

- rendall 6mo agoThe accusation is that Israel manipulates HN results. I responded that they do not because if they had been, there would surely be even one single positive article about Israel in the entire two decades of Hacker News' existence. There is not. Do please try to keep up.

- hebelehubele 7mo agoVast majority of post critical of Israel get flagged as soon as they get enough traction
- jfengel 7mo agoPractically everything of political attention gets flagged, even if it is tech related. There may well be a pro-Israel brigade going out of their way to move that along, but there is an equally rapid anti-Israel brigade. Nothing remains on the front page for long.
- rendall 6mo ago"Criticizing Israel" is always welcome on HN. Posts that veer into overt anti-Semitic conspiracy theory get flagged because the mask slips too far and they reveal the game.
