Lol. If Israel could manipulate HN do you think so many anti-Israel posts would appear on the front page, and each mitigating or nuanced comment about Israel would be flagged so quickly? No, Israel does not control or manipulate HN.

Vast majority of post critical of Israel get flagged as soon as they get enough traction

		Practically everything of political attention gets flagged, even if it is tech related. There may well be a pro-Israel brigade going out of their way to move that along, but there is an equally rapid anti-Israel brigade. Nothing remains on the front page for long.

They do it in a more subtle way on HN. They use friendly journalists to push technologies and solutions they have backend access too. Obviously the HN crowd is a very a tough crowd the fool, but it does not mean they are not trying.

Notice how the tech media will decide particular companies as the only ones worth talking about in certain segments. It's not only money behind this, there are other motivations.

I saw many new accounts doing brazen propaganda.

Maybe there are lots more articles posted on HN criticising Israel, and only a fraction remains, because they win the up- and downvote war?

		Not a single pro-Israel article, nor even any article that even mentions Israel neutrally, has ever reached the front page of HN in the entire history of HN. So, no. Israel is not "winning the up- and downvote war" of HN.
