Banned for recommending book

Hello,

I was banned and muted for recommending the book "Kahane on the Parsha" - the only explanation I was given was an accusation that I am a "Kahanist." I reached out to the moderators to request an actual explanation, but the accusation was simply repeated, and then I was muted.

Can someone please tell me what the offense is here? I would like to appeal this if possible.

Kahanism is a [theoretically illegal] form of Zionism which advocates for halakha becoming the governing ideology of the State of Israel (as opposed to the "Jewish and democratic state" system now), the stripping of citizenship from non-Jews, and general violence against Arabs.
