No different than any other war, the powers that be line up to psy op the public to support it. Interesting to see who the players are that are willing to amplify this overt propaganda. Sadly, looks like HN is front and center, right along with Reddit and basically every other mainstream US-based tech/news aggregator.

There is no major US social media company that doesn't have members of the Israeli military among its executives, HN included.

I find myself wondering what people would think if we swapped "Israeli" for "Chinese" in your reply. And why this double standard exists in all our minds.

Clearly you can't run a country when your elites owe their first allegiance to somewhere else.
