Whether or not I disagree with it is irrelevant - HN isn't the place for unsubtle attempts to shift the tone of online conversation in one political entity's favor. I would probably object if a guy posted a submission and commented on several other submissions with links to some websites that claimed the Isrealies were all evil and hated Palestinians or whatever. Keep it to /r/politics.
But given the number (and impact) of pro-IDF groups whose explicit goal is to control the online Israel-Palestine debate through propaganda, stuff like this is particularly tiring. Every time conflict breaks out a bunch of kids start spamming unrelated forums with their crap.
Edit: Note that I'm not claiming the other side is innocent of this behavior, it may just be that I notice the Israeli stuff more/hang out on forums more prone to being exposed to them.
