That could just be the politics mods being insane. They banned me for saying that Biden shouldn't send weapons to Israel after it became clear Israel was carpet bombing Gaza. Apparantly the politics mods considered that antisemitic.

Yeah you can always expect a liberal mod of that sub to be an Israel maniac and of course they banned dozens if not hundreds of accounts for being slightly pro Palestine.
