Had a look in the modlog... the mod deleted all comments and locked the thread. Looks really a bit strange. I could understand it as not wanting to attract discussions that could get dirty, at all. Critique ageinst the state of israel is often misinterpreted as antisemitism, and discussions around these topics tend to attract antisemites.
Did you ask why a ban was seen necessary?
not really, kinda chucked it to either the "mods picked a side" or the "mods try to avoid conflict" bin most probably the first
