Why is this flagged? It’s information about what is happening in Palestine. Why is information flagged? Isn’t curiosity and information sharing a principle on which hackers stand?

Dang, or someone can explain why this is flagged?

It is flagged because enough users clicked on the "flag" link/action. Users tend to do that for stories they don't feel belong here, which especially happens with politically loaded non-tech stories, as they are listed as off-topic in the guidelines[1]:

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

Moderators sometimes unflag stories, if they feel the discussion is genuine.

The people have voted.

Who are "the people"? Israeli intelligence is known to have a strong online presence. It is entirely plausible they are flagging this.

Looking through your comment history it looks like your account is fully dedicated to spreading Israeli propaganda. Are you in the IDF?

Yes, are you in Hamas ? Maybe we should meet around the fence. I can get a picnic basket.

I am not Hamas, but I do support all resistance against occupation and genocide.

Wow so brave

Excellent video by "Seal On Tour" that shows Israeli terrorists that are supported by the Israeli "defense" force.
