I have a follow up question: If both sides of this topic are quickly flagged, then why do mods consistently intervene to the detriment one side?


Do you have specific evidence of this? Such as some sort of meta analysis that shows more pro-Israel stories making it through, and more pro-Palestine stories getting buried? Such an analysis would also need to account for differing quality as well. That is, you could say "100 pro-Palestine stories were banned, but only 10 pro-Israel stories were banned in this time period", but if 90 of those banned pro-Palestine stories were of the form "Israel sucks and Israeli citizens should all die", then I don't think that statistic would make your case.
