All Posts On Israel Seem To Get Locked By The Mods

Has anyone else noticed the censorship that is happening at DU whenever a post critical of Israel is created.

I have personally replied to three Israel posts over the last week.

Each of these has been locked by the Mods.

Why the censorship?

2. Look under the Foreign Affairs Forum...

There is a separate I/P Discussion...well, er, um, flame wars. They try to keep those discussions confined there.

3. Yes. I have noticed. It is blatant. Maybe DU has been threatened

with lawsuits, or otherwise harassed? You know, by the anti anti-semites?

Look at my post above yours!!!

No I/P is allowed in here...go to the I/P Discussion under Foreign Affairs! Criminy.

5. Half of the threads...

7. No. That is not the reason...

It is not that I/P is Foreign Affairs. I/P threads usually get extremely heated and become so inflamed and personal, that Skinner (I guess) decided they should be separate.

Maybe you should ask the Administrators to explain it better than I can.

6. Admin & mods are pretty strict on the rules about what gets posted where-

I'll go you one further and bet this thread will also be locked, with an admonishment to take forum questions/comments to ATA... and possibly a reference to the rules about criticizing the mods, vis the "censorship" accusation.

8. the problem was that IP threads were spilling all over the place

and turning into flame fests

thus a seperate space was made to consolidate that subject
