Damn twitter removing anti-Israel posts in real time from my home page (hexbear.net)

I've just seen a tweet about an IOF soldier harassing a person (family?) and telling them that this is his land, and before I could see more it just removed it right in front of me, and this isn't the first time an anti-Israel tweet has been removed from my home page right in front of me.

I know it also removes tweets I may not be interested in (no idea how it gauges that to be honest), but considering I check on anti-Israel content all the time, this absolutely would not fall under that; additionally people I'm actually FOLLOWING have their tweets disappear from my home page; why are people I'm FOLLOWING having their content be hidden from me?!

I deleted my twitter account last week.

I posted an anti-israel tweet, and after posting the word "israel" had changed to "Russia". That was a step too far for me. How can anything on there be trusted if they are changing tweets after posting?

I don't wanna accuse you of lying but... what? I struggle to believe that. I scroll through twitter for way too long each day and I have never heard or seen of that happening, surely you're not the only person who that would've happened to. Seriously, my timeline is like 60% anti-Israel posts and if something like this were to happen, people would talk about it. I need to see more cases of this.

I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it myself. It only happened once, but saying that I deactivated my account minutes later in disgust so I couldn't see it again.

If it happened to everyone all the time then it would be soon be all over the news, but a few selected cases here and there to discredit accounts. Maybe.

My tweet made absolutely no sense with the switched words so would be easily discounted/made to look like bot activity.
