Israeli History Disqus Appears To Not Want You To Know

In April, I had a puzzling situation in which comments related to foreign policy were blocked. The situation has happened again.

The Creative Minority Report posted Anti-Semitism at Fordham?

I responded:
Israel is a socialist country in which private property is ignored. Jews once lived in Gaza until the Israeli government decided it was politically advantageous to remove them and put Palestinians there.
A mere boycott of Israel is not evidence of anti-Semitism.

A certain ahad_ha_amoratsim asked:
Israel moved the Arabs out of Israel and put them into Gaza? What universe do you live in?

Yesterday I answered. The basic point of my answer was to link to the wikipedia page on Gush Katif. In case you don't feel like clicking, Gush Katif is in Gaza.

Suddenly, comments are being moderated. Yesterdays comment appears to be gone completely. I did another one. It seemed to disappear too. Now, maybe the site owners just turned moderation on, and went away for a while or whatever, but I got fed up with this thing and edited the original comment to read:

Israel is a socialist country in which private property is ignored. Jews once lived in Gush Katif until the Israeli government decided it was politically advantageous to remove them and put Palestinians there.
A mere boycott of Israel is not evidence of anti-Semitism.

I have just edited this comment in the hopes that my clarification will prove ahad_ha_amoratsim's comment is a foolish attempt to ignore the truth. Additionally, the fact that certain comments regarding foreign policy seem to disappear in Disqus worries me that perhaps those who are in charge of shaping American public opinion are in charge over there.

In small print, just above, Disqus is telling me:
Hold on, this is waiting to be approved by Creative Minority Report.

Maybe.

But I doubt it.

I think somebody understands that treating devout Jews in such an atrocious way woke many of us up to the fact that Israel is run by a bunch of socialist atheists. From a humanitarian standpoint, all they did was make the Palestinian prison a little bit bigger. It is strategically questionable too. Makes no sense, until you realize the politicians are in it for themselves. They want the people in fear and under threat, because it is easier to manipulate them that way.
