New Lemmy Drama: "Feddit.org officially announces they will ban criticism of Israel and pro-Palestinian posts and comments."

I find this morally reprehensible. I have always spoken against defederazation when others have mentioned it. This is too much. Apologies if this upsets anyone.

Palestinians are human beings and have a right to life.

Edit: I have been persuaded by some thoughtful replies. I will block them from my view. I no longer support making the decision for others. Thanks all.

It is possible to be pro-Palestinian and anti-Hamas at the same time.

Similarly, it is possible to be pro-Jewish and anti-Israel at the same time.

They key is to be in favour of, and supporting, the innocent civilians that are NOT wielding hate and bigotry, and in direct and vociferous opposition to the power structures on BOTH sides that have looked true evil in the eye and said, “hold my beer and watch this”.

I am as anti-Hamas as I am anti-Israel. Both power/political structures are among the most reprehensibly evil orgs on the planet at this time.

I stand with the innocent civilians; with THE PEOPLE.

If you oppose armed resistance against genocide you are pro genocide. It is that simple

If you are anti Hamas you are anti Palestinian. Because Hamas are the ones fighting against the occupation and genocide. Else you can pretend to be pro Palestinian by supporting the PA which is nothing more than an extension of Israel oppressing Palestinians.

But besides that, Feddit is straight up banning calls for Zionism to be abolished which is full undeniable pro-Zionism

We shouldn't support hamas blindly. We condemn them when they attack civilians and support them when they attack the idf

There is a very gray line between an IDF soldier and a "civilian" because they are all soldiers. Colonialism inherently needs its "civilians" to be soldiers, because if they would not be there would be a severe shortage in manpower to surpress the natives.

International what? If they join the genocide army at its whims they are part of it.

You should read up on past revolutions against colonialism. Like Haiti.
