Time to point out Israel is spending $1 on online propaganda [1]. Every time they come up in HN you'll see some new green accounts fly in to defend Israel. And, funnily, those green accounts all go silent the moment you point out the $1 billion Israel is spending on propaganda.

I'm an open Zionist (although not the rabid Netanyahu-loving kind). I'm willing to accept downvotes for defending that position, but at least as a German who is currently an academic student and not associated with an employer I don't have to fear social repercussions for it as well (and notably, I write under my actual name).

Other people, particularly in the US, but also Spain or Ireland where the culture/social sphere is widespread anti-Zionist, might choose to not do so for the reasons I mentioned.
