Why is this flagged? It’s information about what is happening in Palestine. Why is information flagged? Isn’t curiosity and information sharing a principle on which hackers stand?

Dang, or someone can explain why this is flagged?

    It is flagged because enough users clicked on the "flag" link/action. Users tend to do that for stories they don't feel belong here, which especially happens with politically loaded non-tech stories, as they are listed as off-topic in the guidelines[1]:

    Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

    Moderators sometimes unflag stories, if they feel the discussion is genuine.

    The people have voted.

      Who are "the people"? Israeli intelligence is known to have a strong online presence. It is entirely plausible they are flagging this.

Excellent video by "Seal On Tour" that shows Israeli terrorists that are supported by the Israeli "defense" force.
