My supposition is that this was a normal human mistake. He did not realize the post was about reddit when he marked it off-topic. Though given that the other posts exist, I would not personally see an issue with removing this one since it is less informative than the other two posts, the title is clickbait-y and uninformative itself.
I am bothered by the swiftness with which some here have been calling for the moderator to be removed, before investigating the facts of the matter. We should be careful not to accept what a headline tells us, even if it is on /v/conspiracy. I encourage everyone to exercise critical thinking and invest a minute or two researching something before jumping onto a bandwagon.
Within the thread he shows a clear bias towards this topic, the removal, and other thread removals are unwarranted and bad moderation. i support calls for his removal and calls to create a similar sub without such heavy handed moderation.
I did not call him a shill, I posted this due to censor ship of a topic.
My mistake. In my defense, the idea seemed to be implied in the accusation of active censorship, and the accusation of shill gets thrown around a lot on topics relating to Israel.
I already linked them, and they're quite visible both in the thread, and through viewing the deleted posts.
I've looked through your comment history and see only links to the modlog for /v/meanwhileonreddit. If you'd be so kind as to humor me and link to the comments you refer to, i would appreciate it.
i believe the excuse was it had been posted before, ironic on a sub featuring mainly reposts...

So far I found one post which was removed relating to Israel. https://voat.co/v/MeanwhileOnReddit/comments/311253
The moderator removed it because he thought it was off-topic. https://voat.co/v/MeanwhileOnReddit/comments/311253/1168736
@d23 pointed out elsewhere in this discussion that other posts with the same article have been left up, and gained a fair amount of votes: https://voat.co/v/Conspiracy/comments/323206/1239355

Would you be willing to link to the instances where he demonstrates a clear bias towards the topic?
Did you try talking to him to find out why he removed it, before deciding that he should be removed/replaced?
Would that not seem to be the rational approach, rather than immediately jumping to the conclusion that he is a shill?
