Iran says it's closing Strait of Hormuz, accusing Israel, US of violating truce

There is no reason this comment should be flagged dead.

Agree with the first sentence. Second sentence is nonsense. Israel has committed to defending its borders. The government of Lebanon has committed to its own sovereignty. Hezbollah has committed too destroying Israel and ignoring the government. It's the USA's concession to agree to link the Strait of Hormuz with this conflict 2000km away.

Thanks for the support. Agree, on these political posts people would rather censor comments they disagree with than argue against it.

It does appear to skew one way too. You can say far worse things about Israel and not be flagged at all. For example, see these comments here:

   Israel is mass killing civilians in Lebanon, just as they did in Gaza, while they simultaneously enact pogroms in the West Bank.

How is that a "bad" thing to say about Israel? Sounds factual to me. Or if it's not factual it can be disproven. I don't see what's flag worthy about it?
