> HN flagged a post that pointed out that Palestinians continually attack Israeli civilians

I think the people might have chosen to downvote it for omitting the critical context that israelis continually attack Palestinian civilians, more frequently and in greater numbers.

Personally, I don't think that critical omission was done intentionally. People make mistakes! It's how we respond when those mistakes are pointed out, which defined us. Do we acknowledge the mistake, correct ourselves, maybe apologize? Or do we double down and complain when people point it out?
