Have you asked yourself why exactly you and the HN commentariat are so fascinated by what Israel is doing and are not yourselves submitting front page posts about the orders of magnitude worse problems in the rest of the world? I'm surprised you can see past the plank in your eye to see the speck of sawdust in mine.
Please don't post personal attacks or insinuations like this on HN. There are easily-understood reasons why the Israel/Palestine story has more prominence in the Western media and on HN: primarily that the Western world has had such a significant and direct role in the affairs of that country/region through its complicated history of the past century-or-so. That doesn't mean we should ignore other conflicts and humanitarian crises. Human suffering matters, wherever it exists and for whatever reason. But we don't need to invoke nefarious explanations for why Israel/Palestine attracts more attention in the Western world.
