I would say that on the ground video accounts are more interesting than mainstream media content for this topic in our post-truth world
many submissions span both and the HN community is on average pretty good about filtering wheat from chaff
The post is not generating interesting discussion. It isn't expanding minds. It doesn't spark curiosity.
I'd counter that it led to a meta discussion about HN, which is good from time to time, to see how each other think about the content policies here, over assuming everyone thinks the same about it only being tech and tangential
if you find content inappropriate for HN, flag it, hide it, and move on
Did you even watch the video ? Are you not infuriated by the actions of Israeli settler terrorists?
