You left out the parts about how and when we turn flags off, about how a certain amount of political overlap is both necessary and inevitable, but that it also can't be too much. All of those are important factors, and I've posted many explanations of them:

We can't, however, turn off flags on threads we don't know about. You guys (I don't mean you personally!) unintentionally assume that we're omniscient. We aren't, so we need people to tell us about cases like this.

In this case, no one told us; I ran across it randomly. Randomness is only good for partial results. For reliable message delivery, someone needs to email hn@ycombinator.com, and please remember that it takes time to work through that (er) rather active inbox.

I literally can’t say anything pro humanity without it being flagged even if it hints negativity towards Israel.

Can you remember any pro-Israeli posts you turned flags off for since the October 7 attack?

Can you point to any pro-Israeli posts on HN since October 7, flagged or not?

They don’t get flagged though.

Yes they are, just like the comment you answered to will.

This is such a garbage assessment. I have don't see post of pro-Israel companies and startups that fund/enable this massacre being flagged for political content?

What is this facade of impartialness and too much politics? Tell that to the people massacred.
