Pounding the political pulpit beyond the bare minimum necessary on this community is where it goes wrong.
And yes, actually, moderators absolutely get to decide what is and isn't appropriate content for their community. That's what a moderator is, the person or persons that curate a community.
And, yet a-fucking-gain, as I've already said, I'm not getting into debate about the subject itself here. I'm also not wasting my time with some random YouTube video as a proxy to that

You said that comments denying the right of Israel to exist should be removed. This cannot be followed up by refusing to elaborate. If there is anything wrong or racist about saying an Apartheid should not exist then you are welcome to back it up with claims.
I am of the opposite opinion that anyone who believes Israel has the right to exist is racist.

With all the complains about ".ml censorship" I would not expect this kind of arguments here. LW moderators having the power to censor for Israel does not mean they are not in the wrong for doing it.
I was hoping you would have something more than "criticism of Israel is antisemitic" but I am not surprised and understand why you wanted to avoid the argument.
