Right, I'm going to post this at the top level in the hopes that the extremely intelligent people of HN see it and remember why we're all here.
As I said below:
This is not the time or place for raising the political issues. I'm keeping my political opinions out of it on this forum and I wish everyone else would have the good sense do the same.
If there's ever an article about Gaza on the front page of HN it's removed within a couple of hours because people start banging on about politics. I could quite happy argue about it all day long, but not here, and not now.
