A meta level comment for dang, I’m upvoting every comment that is being gang-downvoted…independent of the position. This topic, with roots going back millennia, deserves to have all opinions captured and presented, if nothing more than as a snapshot/wave collapse of where the opposing sides sat in 2025.

Noting that, ceasefires are wonderful things.

It's not just gang-downvoting, I've seen perfectly reasonable and civil comments being flagged for no apparent reason.

I remain convinced that HN is simply not the place to have a reasoned discussion about this conflict, and probably nowhere on the internet is.

  • No platform that simply sides with the majority is a good place for reasoning about a conflict that pits 0.2% of the world’s population against 25%, and that includes UN resolutions.
