Why is this downweighted?

Any criticism of Israel must be dismissed, and authors labeled as antisemitic.

Wow, and now it's been flagged to death. There's nothing wrong with the article, either. It's evenhanded, and Haaretz is about as mainstream as the New York Times.

Is this a normal HN thing that I just haven't noticed until now? Is this subject just too radioactive to be discussed?

I wasn't referring to the article; I saw many times in different contexts, critics of the Israel government actions against Palestine being labeled as antisemitic just to make them appear as racists and dismiss their valid points.
