Link to post with banned comment
The lemmy.ml admins couldn’t handle someone pointing that any conversation about Palestine should be centered around the Palestinian victims undergoing a literal genocide and not on Judaism, because in the present day Jews are just privileged white people who aren’t facing any systemic oppression but are even systemically privileged.
An instance pretending to give a voice for the the Global South in the end just censors non-Eurocentric opinions to the point of censoring for genocide.
Apparently they didn’t instantly delete the comment after banning me but did so hours afterwards, probably because others agreed with me.
This part of the post pertains a feddit.uk post which I assumed was a crosspost but this was not removed by the lemmy.ml admin and this part can be ignored. Leaving it here for reference
The admins feddit.uk mods also removed a post from my own community because the post cites TheDailyMail and that is not a “reliable source” despite the headline being completely verified including a link to the UK government report itself. Might as well introduce MBFC next.
Here is TheGuardian saying the same thing: Government expected to accept recommendations of review, which found three in five Jewish students had experienced prejudice. And here is an even more extensive debunk of the report found on the “ultra radically left” /s Hasan Piker subreddit
I mean, Zionism is the advocacy of an ethnostate, so yes obviously it’s racism? It’s asserting (a very particular flavor of) Jewish supremacy, specifically with the intent of eliminating Palestinians.
The comment itself might be seen as splitting hairs but to ban over that is silly. This is ML though, and getting into the weeds over words turns into a massive spiral in leftist spaces as it is. Even more so in small comms (Lemmy is small), so it’s not surprising that the mod went so overboard. PTB
He wasn’t banned for saying Zionism is racism, the mods on .ml agree with that part completely.
It was the part where he was strongly critical of distinguishing Zionism from Judaism, going so far to call that “Hasbara slop,” when the reality is that Zionists are constantly trying to equate the two. He hates it when people distinguish the two because he wants to use the genocide of Gaza as an excuse to be an edgelord and adopt antisemitic positions.
You are a Zionist concern troll. You have been explained many times why you are wrong but instead prefer to keep lying.
I completely and unequivocally condemn the genocidal, apartheid state of Israel. From the river to the sea, Palestine must be free.
Based on that, I’ll let literally every other person, those that don’t have their brains completely rotted out by Bad Empanada, decide whether I’m a “Zionist concern troll”.
And there is the crux of your problem you are incapable of understanding arguments because your only way of interacting with them is whether you like the person. “If BadEmpanada says it then it must be false!”. Cult of personality leftist.
This is the biggest projection of any projection that anyone has ever projected.
“If you don’t blindly follow this Youtuber I’m obsessed with and suddenly become racist when he tells you to like I do, you’re in a cult of personality!”
Unlike you I don’t blindly follow or oppose anyone. I have plenty of gripes with BE but that won’t stop me from posting their good takes because I don’t do Zionist wrecker purity testing like you do to expell every anti Palestian voice from the movement.
Freudian slip?
You want to expel my voice because I didn’t meet your purity test by not being racist enough.
“Aha I called for you to be permanently banned but you are the real purity tester”
You are confirming over and over that you are a lying grifter just here to lie and grift for Israel.
Have fun stanning for Zohran Mamdani you’re getting blocked here too. You are not worth my time.
