“they will ban criticism of Israel” : they will only ban calls for end of Israel and equating Nazis and Israel. You can still criticize Israel. Its like saying “They ban fruits” when they only ban oranges. It’s still a problem, but you’re making it larger than it seems, that’s on the path of clickbait/sensationalism (i do not think that this was intended of you though, it’s just what comes out of the way you wrote it).
“Bans all criticism of Israel” is not the title. The title is that they are banning criticism of Israel, which is true. It’s also true that if someone bans oranges, then they are “banning fruits,” it would only be untrue if they said, “banning all fruits.”
The title does leave it ambiguous in a way that people might think it extends to all criticism, but that’s not actually what it says.

Apartheid South Africa needs to be dissolved.
Israel needs to be dissolved.
What is the difference between these two sentences and why is one of them banned on feddit.org?

As you explained in your post, because of some bullshit german law and admin decision. It’s bad. We agree on this.
Your title should still be ‘bans calls for end of Israel and calling Israel nazis’ or at the very least ‘bans some criticism of Israel’.

Equating Nazis and Zionists, if the shoe fits. You should be allowed to say it.

Overall agreeing with you, you should at least be able to defend this pov.
But that should be the title instead of ‘bans all criticism of Israel’.
