Comment on Am I in lemmy.world or in lemmy.zionistworld?

Case #1 - looks like the moderator of that community doesn’t think the headline fits the sub. I don’t get any particular sense that the reason for removal was in any way political.
Case #2 - as the moderator explained, the auto moderator on Lemmy is basically still in beta stage and is still very much a work in progress.
In both cases, it seems you got a fair explanation as to what happened to your posts. I think it’s a bit premature to start making accusations of some kind of political conspiracy about this instance in general.

Just to second this. Feels like a pretty strong overreaction. Maybe you don’t agree with the moderator but their explanation seems very reasonable. They even agree with your stance, just that it’s not the right community for this post.
Also I’d say accusing lemmy.world in general of a pro-Israel bias is pretty far fetched. I see endless posts in support of the Palestinian’s plight every day (and rightly so of course.)

I am absolutely not sure of a bias so far, that’s why I wanted a feedback on this. It definitely reminded me of my reddit experience though. Meaning, for all the anti-zionist articles I had removed, the arguments presented were always irrelevant to their anti-zionist content.

The explanation given was that the title of the article doesn’t fit with the community guidelines. The argument from the moderator was that it doesn’t fit the content of the community, and agreed that it was definitely c/OrphanCrushingMachine levels of upsetting, but not c/NotTheOnion material due to the article title not being Oniony.
