Pounding the political pulpit beyond the bare minimum necessary on this community is where it goes wrong.
You said that comments denying the right of Israel to exist should be removed. This cannot be followed up by refusing to elaborate. If there is anything wrong or racist about saying an Apartheid should not exist then you are welcome to back it up with claims.
I am of the opposite opinion that anyone who believes Israel has the right to exist is racist.
And yes, actually, moderators absolutely get to decide what is and isn’t appropriate content for their community. That’s what a moderator is, the person or persons that curate a community.
With all the complains about “.ml censorship” I would not expect this kind of arguments here. LW moderators having the power to censor for Israel does not mean they are not in the wrong for doing it.
I was hoping you would have something more than “criticism of Israel is antisemitic” but I am not surprised and understand why you wanted to avoid the argument.

No, I said your comment should be removed because it’s a common antisemitic dog whistle
Your misleading and offensive conflation of zionism with judaism is what’s actually antisemitic.

Have a good day.
Look, just because you haven’t bothered to learn what a dog whistle is in this context doesn’t mean it isn’t the case
Look, just because you haven’t bothered to learn what Israeli propaganda is in this context doesn’t mean it isn’t the case
Really? You’re running around repeating known dog whistles, and now you want to argue that pointing out dog whistles are propaganda?
Nah, at this point, you’ve down exactly who you are
Calling criticism of Israel a dogwhistle is known Zionist propaganda.
You are making it painfully obvious what your beliefs are but it is clear you dare not speak your mind.
