A few of our users have recently pointed out that a lot of the pro-Zionist accounts on the fediverse nowadays seem to come from the feddit.org instance.

But whatever the excuse happens to be, they need to do better imo. Israel is currently the most violent, fascist and genocidal nation state in the Middle East (if you exclude the US military bases there). And yet feddit.org seems to regard the Palestinians fighting against Israel’s ongoing illegal occupation of their land as the real terrorists. ....

More context

Our instance already voted to ban pro-Zionist accounts (see https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/60585441 for reference) and the rule that was implemented is here: Golden Rule #8.

As further context, you can find relevant comments and discussion in this post by a banned feddit admin in MoG (that fact they chose to post in MoG is in itself quite telling), and this post about their defederation from quokk.au over anti-semitism allegations has recently become active again. ...

Note 2: If you think feddit.org deserves a full instance ban instead, or have alternative suggestions, then please leave your comments below. If enough people think that’s the better option, then we’ll do that instead.

In the end the Post had around 70% of support by dbzer0 users, who in the comments also called for defederation.

Here is a Link to Dbzer0 instances tab https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/instances where if you go to blocked instances you can see fedddit.org is now defederated

i dont think feddit has made a post now, but when they do i will add it

Again: WTF are you talking about?

I'm literally suggesting that Israel should be dealt with exactly like the 3rd Reich - get rid of the fascist government, restore law and order in the region, protect Palestine. But not by eradicating Israel. One genocide does not justify another!

And for that, the extremist fundamentalists around here are calling me a "genocide advocate".

So you want the right of return to be denied, Palestine to continue to exist as non-contiguous bantustans, and for Israel to simply re-elect a fascist government.

No.

Then you contradict yourself

[–] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz -2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I can see how in your extremist mind it seems like that.

And here come the lazy ad-homs

You're a proponent of genocide. How is that not being an extremist?

You want to eradicate a nation. That's genocide. You're a proponent of genocide.

You want to rape children. That's paedophilia. You're a paedophile.
