Was this a mistake or censorship of an independent progressive media outlet?

All solidarity with my sister, the brilliant writer and human rights defender @SusanAbulhawa.
And to the NYC Mayor @ZohranKMamdani , a message: I know you are afraid. But forget what your aides are telling you. Fear is not a sound basis for politics at this moment in history. The people want courage and principle. This paid zombie army of malicious Zionist trolls and their shamelessly complicit media organizations have no power but that which we grant them. If official institutions and people in positions of authority would finally stop the knee-jerk cowering and sacrificing of principle that they exhibit every time the trolls launch one of their clumsily choreographed attacks, or hurl their baseless smears, the Zionist trolls would fold like the paper tigers they are. They must not be feared. They must be exposed, confronted, denounced, and dismissed. Colonialism, Nazism, and fascism were all defeated through courageous confrontation. So too will Zionism fall to courageous resistance. The only question for each of us at this pivotal moment in history, including for elected officials, is, as the song goes, “which side are you on?”
Hey so the Palestinian people’s right to resistance is enshrined in international law. The armed struggle in Palestine isn’t based on an agenda of Palestinian ethnic supremacy but the defense of land and sovereignty.
Pretty basic!
@AOC If saying "we support Hamas" is disgusting & antisemitic, is saying "we support Israel" 100 times more disgusting, 100 times more racist towards Palestinians, 100 time more genocidal?
The Israeli military has carried out a double-tap strike in Al-Tuffah Area, murdering the resistance senior commander of Al-Tuffah Battalion in Gaza City and violating the ceasefire yet another time.
This will be deemed as a successful operation, even though civilians were killed in the attack. And if the resistance attacks Israeli soldiers, it will be everywhere on the news: "Hamas" has breached the ceasefire.
Israel has agreed to a ceasefire, where it can hunt down its targets without the world even caring a whit about it. With less effort and fewer expenses.
This is not what a ceasefire means.
Disavowing AIPAC and supporting Medicare for All should be a must for every candidate.
“I won’t be bribed and I’ll fight to make sure no one goes into debt if they get sick” is a winning message in every neighborhood in America.
And miss me with “purity” nonsense, standards are necessary.
Stuff of nightmares unfolding in Gaza — Israel’s refusal to meet the terms of the ceasefire and allow in sufficient supplies is crashing headlong into this flooding and brutal weather to produce a catastrophic situation
BREAKING: Israeli jailers are torturing, smashing the teeth, attacking the body, of Marwan Barghouti - the Palestinian Nelson Mandela, the leader who can lead Palestinians and Israelis to a Just Peace (watch the video by Knesset member Ofer Cassif). Free Marwan Now! #FreeMarwan
🏛️Israel has destroyed Gaza’s ancient heritage during the genocide, burning the city’s historical archives.
Among the treasures erased was the Great Omari Mosque, built in 636 AD.
Today, our young Gazans gather its broken stones, hoping to rebuild it one day.
Zionist humor is very highbrow and sophisticated, so just in case this went over anybody's head the joke here is that they want to murder Norman Finkelstein for his political beliefs.
Our planet is a darker place since the establishment of Israel. The cruelty of this cancerous entity is extraordinary and relentless and antithetical to life.
