Why is advocating the destruction of Israel permissible here?

Also, why is an anti-Semitic and anti-Israel site like "Veteran's Today" allowed as a source? Thanks.

1. Advocating the destruction of Israel is not permitted here
Veterans Today is not allowed as a source.

2. Then do these comments "not count?"
"Yep. Answer is a single, secular state solution. Call it Palestine..."

"Yes, there is no two-state solution It's impossible. It is a de facto one-state already, only it's an Apartheid state. The Israelis want it both ways. They won't allow the Palestinians a state of their own, and the Israelis won't let the Palestinians become citizens of Israel with actual rights. This is Apartheid. And it's outrages that the US support it. " (This was a reply of agreement to the above comment.)

"If true, then Isreal needs to be destroyed. But it may not be true -- in which case, Netanyahoo needs to be forced out."

"Al-Nakba was a catastrophe. The UN vote back then helped precipitate it. But Israel has existed as a nation for over 60 years, and this is a reality that must be accepted. Destruction of post-1967 settlements and establishing a Palestinian state on 1967 lines could be a survivable, if not acceptable, compromise -- but Israel has consistently refused such an approach. Unless Israel changes its tune, support for the destruction of the State of Israel is the only acceptable, if rather unfeasible, solution."

9/11 Last Man Out tells a different story A moderator even gave a corrected link to Veteran's Today! I wrote an alert for that piece and even included a link from SPLC

I know I also alerted on two of these. Do alerts sometimes not go through? Is there a way to confirm an alert has been received?
