How come every time the Israeli crimes are featured in HN, the corresponding article is flagged?

This has been happening for decades. This is working as expected.

Perhaps what's new is that a mainstream organisation is posting articles where their reporters have witnessed such attacks.
I've seen stuff on youtube, I've seen internet articles, I've seen thinly veiled references but this is a respectable organisation reporting what they have seen, on the front page.

I don't know how it is in the UK or other countries, but mainstream information sources in France have been reporting on this for decades, I think mostly everyone is aware. Granted, the opinion in France has always been quite sympathetic to the Palestinian cause (see Chirac with "do you want me to go back to my plane?" in the 90s) although the media and politics have apparently shifted towards more support of Israel in the last few years.

The ethnic cleansing that is happening in Palestine and what these settlers are doing essentially ensures there can never be peace. The settlers are to me the root cause of the ongoing conflict, it ensure the wound can never heal while land is constantly being stolen. Whatever ceasefire or truce does happen the settlers keep taking more land backed by the Israeli government. Absolutely disgusting.

The settlers aren't doing this without support, if the Israeli state didn't want it to be happening it wouldn't. There's tacit support from Israel for the settlements, they have political power.
I'm stating it this way to not push the responsibility only to the individual settlers, it's a concerted operation with broad support from a cohort of Israel's society.

Growing up in germany has lead me to have a somewhat blind-eye regarding this topic. But this is just pure evil.

I’m absolutely baffled by Germans at this point. I’ve been taking to many Germans in the beginning of the genocide and the major feedback I got was « given what we did to the Jews… we can’t criticize Israel ». Now almost two years after, countless of massive crimes and violated international laws later, I really can’t fathom how people are not outside shouting to their government to stop supporting this evil state (which has nothing to do with Judaism as many courageous Jews are currently pointing out). This is deep corruption at the state level and, likely, deep racism at the population level. Dehumanizing the Palestinians is the main explanation for the silent majority in Germany, and not without irony: yesterday they dehumanized the Jews, and instead of learning a general lesson, they keep dehumanizing other semites in the name of their past crimes.

Be careful. This comment ("pure evil") is illegal in Germany, under the antisemitism law. Many people got arrested for less.
