https://hexbear.net/comment/4384399 some correlating commentary from the time about people getting banned for hamas support
you yourself dont agree with this, or at least didnt last month (well after the ND mega thread). i agree with this logic myself, and i can understand a blanket ban on the language writ large if thats a true consensus, but its disingenuous to suggest that from the scope of that ND meta discussion (specific pathologized medical terms), and exceedingly bad faith disingenuity to wrap that up in an insinuation of 'ignoring the marginalized'

For example I think a lot of our politicians are literally insane, seeing enemies where there are none and acting accordingly.

As of now they [Nakoichi] have been demodded, I agree that mods are held to a higher standard as stated in the code of conduct.
from what I've gathered the historical ""line"" was that burning a star of david feels icky (i get it, but ultimately ceding ground to the cynical utilitarianism of the nakba settlers), followed by "well it gives ammunition to external bad actors", but also simultaneously "this is a small and insignificant site so why do you care about it go touch grass".

This is the exact argument used by the judge who just recently created federal precedent to charge anti-zionist protestors with hate crimes, immediately escalating them to federal crimes. This precedent, and your argument here, will be used to fuck over activists across the country with trumped up federal crimes.
"The Star of David — emblazoned upon the Israeli flag — symbolizes the Jewish
race,” the judge said, comparing attacks against the Star of David to using racial
slurs against Black people, and dismissing the defense’s argument that such an
offense could be “an objection to state policies.”
In future lawsuits alleging antisemitism stemming from anti-Israel activism, for
example, plaintiffs will be able to cite the Sumrall lawsuit as evidence that there
is a legal standard equating anti-Zionism with anti-Jewish discrimination.
Mainen said the case would likely be “heavily cited” in the future.
and if you want to attempt to nullify equivalencies by arguing scope and context you can make that argument, but its undeniable that this stance is at the very least normalizing rhetoric that will be used to fuck over anti-zionist activists, and for no good reason besides "optics"
some of those other users are even moderators!
