On: 7.1 magnitude earthquake hits Japan

How is this pertinent to HN but the Israel attacks on Gaza not?

An earthquake in Japan is not controversial and might have business implications for some people on HN.

Edit: Removed pro-Israel defense. This is not the place for a political discussion.

>> This is not the place for a political discussion.

Your post is still politically loaded. Israel attacks on Gaza are as 'controversial' as evolution, global warming and tobacco causing cancer.

It is controversial when you define it "Israel attacks on Gaza". The attacks go both ways - eg, Hamas rocket hit an Israeli school bus this morning.

(This stuff might have had a place here once, but as it is now the HN thread won't be any more intelligent than the Reddit one)

The pro-Israel online lobby is soooo annoying ...

Lets move the discution to the definition of some word. Lets call everyone with a different opinion stupid. Lets put out your opinion and try to close the thread ...

No.

Edit to be clearer: You must be joking.

>NHK World TV reports that external electrical power supply has been cut in two of the three lines servicing the Ongawa nuclear power plant in the Miyagi prefecture because of the quake.

More tech-related than Gaza.
