Are we allowed to support Israel on this site?

[DBCowboy]

Really, because I get the feeling on ATS that the answer is nein.

I'll find other sites, I'll go back to writing for American Thinker or Townhall.

I just want to know now before I invest too much time here, apparently I invested too much time on ATS.

Would appreciate some insight.

Cheers.

I'm genuinely uncertain what makes you concerned that your support (or any support) of Israel is somehow proscribed, uncertain, or somehow unwanted.

I get that the activist voices are loud and pervasive, given their significant presence in the marketing push in the mainstream media.

I'm sure I'm not alone in noting the scalding and acerbic sentiments being flaunted in the name of signaling the virtue of either side, but this is not 'new' or unexpected. 

The object, in my opinion, is not to segregate or isolate any particular position, but to house them all... to host them within the body of our collected thoughts. 

Respectfully, would it be obtuse of me to ask for some clearer idea of what makes you postulate that we "don't allow" support of Israel?

I basically got shut down on ATS for supporting Israel.

I would not say that is what happened at all.
Nor would I discuss it here.

Dammit, I want to talk this out!

Dammit, we cannot talk about ATS business here.
This has nothing to do with the topic.  And unless you are the OP that is the end of it.

Bottom line, am I going to catch any shit for supporting Jews and Israel?

Because if so, I'm gone.

I really have no idea why you brought this up here.
I'm as confused as Maxmars.
