Why can’t we discuss the terror attack in C.O.?

No thread about it stays. Gets removed immediately.

Why? This was a horrific incident.

Because the perp wasn’t a Caucasian?

There was a thread about it last night. About half the posters wanted to use the attack to discredit anyone who opposes Israel's genocide in Gaza and about half attempted to justify the attack because of Israel's genocide in Gaza. I disagreed with both sides and got tired of trying to moderate the thread. I don't wish to revisit the experience today.

It’s ridiculous that there was a terror attack that harmed Americans-one of the people burned is a Holocaust survivor- and it’s being censored here.

Jeff there is a massive difference between “discrediting” opposition to Israel’s conduct, and the justification/encouragement of antisemitic attacks in the US. And of course you only choose to get tired of moderating when the thread is about an antisemitic attack.
