Here’s a good example from the recent Ben White thread of how anti-Israel bias plays into the moderation of “Comment is Free” threads:
As can be seen from the first comment, the poster is advocating the one-state solution, a position that denies the Jewish nation its right to self determination and which is repugnant and deeply offensive, not to mention antisemitic, to those that would have to live with its consequences. Contrast this with illimite’s deleted comment which supports a different kind of one-state solution.
Now if the moderators saw fit to delete illimite’s comment, why was his/her comment deleted but dizzylizzy’s not?
