Anything that challenges their narrative, even from what they consider trusted outlets by their own definition using an unchanged headline from the original article, gets removed.

Never posted on r/worldnews before and got permabanned for this. The mods there truly are genocidal neoliberal fascists. Boycott Western media.

The OP was claiming that they were removing “anything that challenges their narrative” which I’d assume means they looked up to see if their post was a repost first. So the other posts this is reference (which OP claims they aren’t allowing) is what I was saying might have not been allowed.

I assumed the intended read here is that the mods are doing a plausible-deniability thing here where they're not outright lying. Meaning the content in the headline here was buried in a different article that was allowed, but the one that got through had a focus on a closely-related topic that could earn a more Israel-friendly headline. Since most people read the headlines and not the articles, this shapes the narrative with wiggle room for saying the takedown is justified.

If there was another article allowed that was actually focused on the demands for an independent investigation, then yeah OP is bullshitting. Not going to say whether that's the case because I don't care enough to justify opening reddit to find out.
