Hi, I see in the modlog that dataprolet@lemmy.dbzer0.com 's post was removed for "violating rule 1," which is, "be civil and nice."

Israel is discriminating non-citizens like every other state while e. g. Arabic citizens have full civil rights. As much as you might hate Israel, this is not Apartheit.

What isn't nice or civil about this post? They shared their opinion, one I consider reasonable, in a way that was inoffensive. Can the mods please elaborate on your mod policy here, are only anti-Israel opinions allowed?

(original comments still visible on kbin, though site is unstable atm)

@dataprolet@lemmy.dbzer0.com

WTH?! Israel is by all metrics an apartheid state. Whether you accept it or not.

Actually, that is a very contested claim given that 20% of Israeli citizens are Arabic with full rights.

That comment is so idiotic and/or bad faith that I totally get removing it. Better to remove it than clog up the comments with a dozen people trying to explain why they're wrong and the OP likely sea lioning them all.
