75000+ palestinians killed, arguably one of the defining crimes of our age are not worth HN discussion (“politics”) but one F15E shot down in a war of choice is (apparently, “tech”)?

I guess this gets in as interesting new phenomenon?
the marketing department of "Empire" runs deep, even on Hacker News..
Yeah an F-15 shootdown is about tech. Palestinians being killed is horrible, but that doesn't mean it fits here.
Being the most technologically advanced aircraft in history, one could argue that's a tech novelty they got shut down by some obliterated, imprecise weaponry.

I believe that terrorist sympathizers like to call that "blowback"
You don't see anything about Russias invasion either. 1.5 million casualties and counting.
