Why is YA unavailable when I want to edit a particular answer?

Each time I want to add to a recent answer that does not praise Israel, I get a message to say YA is not available. In the time I have been getting this message, I have answered other questions and carried out other edits. Makes you think, doesn't it?

    I have the same problem whenever I try to edit an answer in the Friends category. And there seem to be certain questions that are "un-editable" (if that's a word.) In my case it's nothing to do with Israel, but maybe they don't allow people to edit in areas that someone in charge considers "sensitive issues" or whatever.

    Who knows.

    ETA: The questions I referred to in my answer have never been deleted; I can read them, and read my original answer, but am not allowed to edit. Often it goes to a vote or whatever and my answer is still there.

    I'm not sure why it does this, but it just means the question has been deleted for reasons unknown. I've had the same thing happen to me, many times when I hit the "submit" button and it would be for a fairly mundane question.

    every facebook status you make with the word israel gets stored onto a computer...this is actualy true they spend millions on PR, its because mossad are big on infomation (i was careful not to use intelligence if they had any their country wouldnt be on the obvious collision course to self distruction it is on)

    Source(s): every step forward in that countries mind is a step backwards instead, it is a backwards country, its a babel tower
