When Israel started the war, links got taken down presumably because we don't do political stuff on HN. But when Iran strikes back, these links are allowed, presumably because hitting Microsoft offices makes it "interesting".

That wasn't my intention. Most people can see the humanitarian position on these recent military aggressions. I wanted to highlight how a major consumer oriented private tech company has become so involved in war that it is getting targeted in what seems like a turning point for the tech industry.

I'm with you completely. I just think it is a turning point for previously more outwardly "ethical" companies like google and microsoft that they are getting targeted by militaries

So killing civilians is bad only when it happens to the people you like, but it's okay if you don't like the civilians getting killed?

Shame on you.
