Several ten days ago alone.
The top one on that list is a comment condemning Israel, and the mods removed it. Several others, too.
It's not censorship when they're removing posts by both sides.
It mostly looks like the same 2-3 trolls posting inflammatory content that is getting removed.
I'm not the one you were replying to and haven't read the comments you referenced but couldn't let this stand unchallenged:
Yes it is censorship, it could be censorship with reduced bias, it might even be appropriate censorship. But it is literally censorship to censor speech.
If you read who I was responding to, they are asserting that this is political censorship of non pro-Israel content. It may be censorship, but not towards a certain political viewpoint, just towards assholes.
