HN has had many comments about Israel and related topics in the last few days. Difficult as the discussion is under current circumstances, not all of them were flamebait. Your comment was. Worse, it was a generic flamewar tangent—taking the discussion away from the historical material of the OP and into an ugly slugfest about an obvious flamewar topic.

But in any case B is irrelevant to whether or not you broke the site guidelines in this thread, which you certainly did—it's not a borderline call.
