It's easier for anti-Israel propaganda to be more successful here when the people leading Y-Combinator, who own and manage Hacker News, are also anti-Israel, some possibly antisemitic. If it didn't take sides and mandated neutrality, it would flag content from both sides. If a moderator on HN acts out of line with the policy or sentiments of YC leadership, they would be corrected. The battle of ideas begins with who controls the platform and what their policies are.
> some possibly antisemitic
Ah yes, there it is. You didn't even wait untill the second sentence to use this empty term. Because of comments like yours this word completely lost its meaning. Intelligent people just ignore it now.
