If much of the world wants you dead (your words, not mine) then maybe it's time to look in a mirror.
Edit:
HN commenters are so thick. First of all GP says everyone hate Israel. So that must include you the reader of this comment. If you actually take that shit serious and then have a problem with my comment instead all I can say is that you should look in a mirror too. It's a fat lie. Not everyone hates Israel. Actually most on HN loves Israel and always heavily upvote pro-israel stories.
Edit: actually, you've posted so many of these that I've gone ahead and banned you. If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future.
Please don't respond to flamewar comments by perpetuating the flamewar. That just damages this place even further, and the site guidelines specifically ask you not do:
"Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead."
If one person thinks you're an asshole they might simply be wrong about you. If everyone in the world thinks you're an asshole then you, almost by definiton, are one.
There's a reason why there's a separate word in most languages for "anti-semitism" but not for "anti-italianism" or "anti-brasilianism".
I'm unfortunately not surprised - there is a strange "intellectual dark web" bent among the HN crowd, despite it being transparently pseudo-intellectual garbage.
I see you are not even pretending not to be antisemitic. Most antisemites hide under cover of "anti-zionisim".
And to other people reading this, this poster seriously thinks that antisemitism is because "all Jews are assholes". I'm truly shocked to see such things on this site, although maybe I should expect that.
Israel is a democracy, has human rights, conducts elections, has free trade and great tech scene, currency is stable and they've got one of the best intelligence agencies. Israel's population is some 9 million which is half of Beijing city and little bit larger than SF Bay Area.
Let's contrast it with fundamentalist Iranian islamic government, hell bent on developing nuclear weapons despite of non-proliferation treaty signed by the whole world in 1960's, hanging their journalists and publicly executing dissidents.
I am not sure there is a shred of doubt who is the good guy and who is the bad guy here.
Israel is occupying Palestine, mobility controlled by checkpoints and passes a la South Africa, and actively takes actions to ensure that non-jewish people do not gain a majority in the country.
Israel extends a "right of return" only to displaced people who are of a certain ethnicity.

I have no ideea why you think this is relevant to your otherwise valid point. Iran and Israel are very similar here, one never signed the NPT and other signed it but is in non-compliance with the terms. Both states essentially don't care about what the other countries think of their nuclear activities - as is their right under international law.
Israel is not a democracy. It is a country ruled by religious fanatics, basically. If you are not a Jew, you do not profess Judaism you are denied some of the civil rights, maybe not officially, but practicaly. Think of all the Palestinians there.
It's all blah blah blah to me. The point is that GP is full of crap. Not everyone hates Israel as you yourself have just proven. Yet posts like it are seen multiple times at every thread that mention Israel.
