I'm not that deeply involved, but I find it a bit schizophrenic that on one hand Israel disposes of the Palestinian territories as it pleases (founding settlements in the West Bank, building a wall around the Gaza Strip), but on the other hand when it encounters stuff it doesn't want to deal with, it points to the Palestinians "self-governing" themselves...

Could your statement be any more racist, jeez. Isn't this sort of comment explicitly disallowed on HN?

What’s sad is that user appears to be shadow-banned, which means their comments are hidden by default - until enough people “vouch” for them.

So not only did someone post that dreck, enough people vouched for it that it’s no longer hidden.

I hope there’s another explanation.

I sent an email just now. Whoever vouched for it will have their privilege revoked, hopefully.

I can't reply to the dead comment now, but I wanted to point out that it's also just factually wrong as well as racist zionofascism - the Arab Spring started in Tunisia and now they have a fairly reasonable and stable constitutional democracy.
