The mods on /c/worldnews actively put a thumb on the scale when it comes to subjects like the Israeli-Palstinian conflict. If you don't follow the party line, your comment is subject to removal. That "No hate speech, bigotry, propaganda, etc" rule does a lot of work. It's not worth getting in a fight over, but I was a little sore that my comment about taking Hamas' casualty statistics with a grain of salt would be prudent was deleted, while downright hateful comments towards Israel were left standing.

It's sad to hear. I believe that healthy discussion should always be welcomed even if you disagree. And hateful things should always be discouraged.
