Wow, browsing the comments with showdead=1 gives me the highest ratio of flagged vs normal comments ever. Surprised the whole thread is not flagged, yet. I mean, can we expect that more insights come out of this?

No, because all the points for/against the attacks have already been argued to death in the first thread, and both sides' argument don't hinge on whether there are deaths or not, so this bit of news doesn't really make a difference.
This. So tired of the idea that HN trying to stay relatively clear of politics is some great loss when every Israel Palestine submission that makes it through is just the same few dozen ppl shouting some variation of "US/West/Markets=BAD" and another dozen or so grappling with them. Nothing changes, no one learns anything. If ppl want that sort of interaction, it's available 24x7 on Bluesky. Every public web forum devolving into 24x7 culture war doesn't serve anyone's interests except the marxists.
It is pretty hard to have a calm discussion about the outbreak of war. War is awful. People will suffer, people will die. Being angry is an appropriate response. The article is just a list of the ap wire briefs, so it does not tell us very much.

Looks like the flagging brigade got this story flagged as well. Of course, HN mods will do nothing about it as usual.
