> Not flagging, but also not upvoting. One, it’s an ambiguous archive link

This wasn't the case with the previous post that I mentioned yet it got flagged

? . Two, I’m not getting the sense that the source is unbiased [1]. For a contentious topic, I want to form my opinions—and hear those of fellow HN users—around rock-solid sourcing.

When the post had gotten flagged/ I had thought of giving another link like msn (https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/gaza-toddler-released-f...) and this is a bit more in-depth (https://www.msn.com/en-us/war-and-conflicts/military/palesti...)

But I found no articles as thorough as this one. I don't believe as to if anything is factually wrong

Also oops, yea I had just the link of archive.org and not the proper link (https://web.archive.org/web/20260328122756/https://www.middl...)

I am editing this for that, thank you for suggesting this!

Edit: I can't edit the hackernews post, I am a bit sorry then to hackernews community for just sharing the archive.org link but I had accidentally pasted just the archive link instead, a bit sorry about that, perhaps moderators (if they wish) can change to this particular link or if someone wants to read it: https://web.archive.org/web/20260328122756/https://www.middl...

> Pakistan is openly committing human rights violations against baluchis and have done it against Bangladeshi Hindus

Hello, I am an Indian (Hindu) person, I have made my stance extremely clear when the recent attack on India was done by terrorists in which there was a religious angle as well where Islamist extremist terrorists asked to recite an Islamic prayer otherwise they were shot.

That event has traumatized me as well, I may not have submitted it but there has always been a conflict between Hindus and Muslims after the British divided us.

I also support the baloch movement, in the sense that, Pakistani corruption/militarial aggression has severely underfunded the region while its get its resources extracted from.

So, if anything, according to your comment, you should feel like I should be against all of muslims.

but that is not the case, there are good muslims and bad muslims, just as how there are good jews and bad jews and just as how there are good and bad hindus

Essentially, religion doesn't play a role in good or bad but religion certainly extremizes the elements

In this case it was religious extremist agression from Israel (Jewish faith) to Islam/Palestine.

In our case it was religious extremist aggression from Islamist Extremist terrorist to India in pahalgam attack which had shook the nation to its core.

My point is, I can't/won't see Innocent people/kids dying, and yes, this goes beyond religion, for the most part.

I have also been aware of the sudanese people, its a real tragedy where UAE/Dubai are funding opposite sides and rape/murder/slaughtering of Innocent people are also happening, its really scary as well.

> Maybe start protesting and have same amount of human feelings for non Muslims as well.

I kind of do, It's just that Innocent Muslims are dying in higher proportions simply because they are in war-torn regions caused by Israel/US in this case of Iran/Palestine.

I genuinely want all wars to go over and have either an element of co-existence or mutual agreement for the most part.

> There were no posts here for Sudanese people.

You've made two submissions, neither were about Sudan.

> None for Nigerian Christians

> Only when Muslims suffer from hands of non Muslims, there are protests and posts in support of them.

There are vast numbers of posts about Ukraine and its attack by Russia. Daily I see many comments expressing human feelings for people across the spectrum, muslim, non muslim, male, female, et al.

Perhaps your impressions are a little blinkered.

I am an Indian (Hindu), Ironically, People have accused me of only caring about only Muslim feelings (:

I don't stand with rape and all other crimes of Israel because I don't judge these actions by the religion of the victims and yes, even if that might mean that, that religion might have done the same to us (Pahalgam attack which shook the nation)

I think my point is, just because muslim extremism has impacted our lives doesn't mean that Innocent muslims, especially kids should be tortured. I am more than happy if everyone removes extremist element, period.

I have said this consistently here, but this goes beyond any religion. People are treating it as a muslim kid being impacted but I am seeing it as my kid being impacted.

This war started recently, the people living their didn't know this could happen to them

We dont know the future, what if something like this might happen to one of us where the enemy might be someone else, maybe even Extremist Islam

I have raised my voice against opresssion, I don't discriminate against who I speak or not as I try to speak against the wrong, as long as someone innocent is getting opressed, My heart goes out to them and religion shouldn't have to do too much with it.

My idea maybe is that too, that, if we show support of normal people even if religious differences collide, we can show that we are beyond religion and actually help bring down Extremism/will help them bring internal resistance too if something bad is done from their extremist side.

At some point, I believe in Humanity and sharing that Humanity, So its quite shocking to say, but, its best that we start treating muslim people as humans too.

Atleast that's what my religion has taught me personally, I really don't discriminate based on religion for the most part but I do understand why people might do that but I feel like all it does is seperate us even further and I wouldn't be able to have a coherent moral framework if I become hypocritical in who I criticize/don't and become partial to it.

The HN moderators have repeatedly said that they have not seen evidence of coordinated downvoting, e.g.: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46378818

What islamo supremacists? What are you talking about? I just see constant news stories of genocidal violence against children in Gaza and settlers shooting unarmed teenagers or old women in the West Bank.

To ensure there is no bias going on lets talk in numbers.

* How many children have died in Gaza versus Israel in the last two years?

* How many Israelis have died in the West Bank as a result of violence in the last two years as compared to Palestinians in the West Bank?

From the outside looking in everything looks like a bunch of racists inventing their own narrative, without evidence, to justify killing children and taking land. The US, where I am from, went through this too a century ago on a much smaller scale in what the US calls lynchings and again a century before that with forced relocations.

I fail to see how this can be anti semitic propaganda, the child is a Semite.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic_people

The article has several sources including Sky News and the Red Cross, the IDF confirmed the arrest and the father is still missing even though nothing happened. Protesting actions like these is not anti-semitism.

Can't be because it is a semitic child.
