Israel is currently the most violent, fascist and genocidal nation state in the Middle East (if you exclude the US military bases there).

Thank you for recognizing statesia my ego gets a little wonky if it goes unnoticed

That's guilt by association. It's a fallacy. Lots of national leaders and founders were racists and horrible people in various factors. That doesn't mean the states necessarily were or are or forever will be. I don't claim to be anything. You are making all the claims here about who is what. Where I stand agonizing about genocide and dividing everyone up into pro and anti is simply stupid. My u...

Israel ideology was always Zionism and their policies was always the publicity of settler colonialism so until Israel stop acting like Nazis and end occupation I can't support that state and anybody who whitewash it.

Again I said that feddit mods are allowing people defending the ideology and not just people talking about it from an historical standpoint

The history of the colonization of Palestine by zionists started in 1948 and not the bullshit of the conflict being several centuries old like Trump try to portray . Palestinians didn't have a problem with jews they has a problem with the zionists plan to occupy them

This comes from an israeli source

In 1884 the first Yemenites settled in Silwan and for 45 years lived peacefully and on very good terms with their Arab neighbors. It seemed that the people of Silwan, which was known to be a poor village, found common ground with the poor Jewish Yemenites that lived among them.

Despite the attempt to depict the 1929 Arab Riot as a violent incident against the Jews in Silwan, it is clear that it was not the case. From a letter of gratitude that the Yemenite Jews sent to their Arab neighbors, we can learn about the devotion and benevolence that the Arabs have shown towards the Yemenites by undauntedly protecting them, and also about the amity and good neighborly relations that prevailed between the two communities.

Everyone is crazy, except your team, right?

Usually how that works. Personally what’s going on over there, fuck em both. All they want is violence. Let them have it. Problem solves itself eventually.

Which anti-zionists are saying what hate speech? The hate speech is principly coming from zionists who call Palestinians terrorists and call for their genocide.

Few ever explicitly call for Palestinian genocide in mixed company. Instead they hasbara. And most Zionists in the fediverse are liberal Zionists who don’t want to see a genocide, but somehow still haven’t come to terms with reality after almost a year and a half of genocide.

100% agree and that's not what Hamas is trying to do or I miss the part where they protect the palestinians in their actions

Hamas is the main force of the Palestinian resistance, a coalition force actively fighting against genocide.

You know that was hasbara, right? Previously:

conflation of state and people that Hamass ideology clearly makes

A Document of General Principles and Policies

by largely targeting and slaughtering civilians in their homes

That is not what happened. That is what Western media said happened.

 

If Hamas wants to dismantle Israeli oppression through activism, negotiations, and political reform great.

  1. It has tried to do that for decades. The most recent significant attempt was Great March of Return, wherein the IDF slaughtered Gazans.

Ain't much difference between MAGA and tankies.

Communists and fascists are diametric opposites. Communists seek to collectivize production and distribution to fulfill the needs of everyone. Fascists seek the preservation of private property and the extermination of labor organizers. Lazily equating the two and doing nothing to back it up is just "enlightened" centrism.

I didn’t notice c/europe was zionists. I just typed israel, I see highly (legitimately) upvoted posts against it. I’m sure you can find some unsavory stuff, but I haven’t stumbled upon it once. On the other hand I’ve been confronted to authoritarian bootlickers too many times from ml. If you don’t defederate from them too then you’re not being consistent.

You should read the examples give by db0. They are using the term Zionist for anyone with nuanced takes. The accusations are almost slanderous and feddit was not asked for their side before starting the vote.

Idk where you got that those sites don't defend Jews. I feel very supported in those places, and the moderation on Hexbear at least takes antisemitism seriously(I can't say for the other two because I'm on there less often, but I'm yet to hear anything that would make me doubt that they defend their Jewish users as well)

You're on a .ml account so I'm by default assuming you're untrustworthy. If you cant see why anyone might get that then you might be blind. I'm sure I could go dig up some examples but then you'd have won by wasting my time proving something that is already obvious.

This all stems from a fundamental misunderstanding that no one seems to be interested in clearing up. The original post that brought the allegations of feddit being zionist to more people is this one, and the one that originated the allegations is this one. The feddit.org admin inside explicitly states that the removal of the comment being talked about by the original thread is not about pro-zi...

Of course you may speak somewhat neutrally on National Socialism and even compare current politics to them. But you must be able to prove your point or show your work. Denial and making light based on "this is just my opinion, mate" is unacceptable.

Depending on the crime the burden of proof lies on the accused. This is fine.

If you rely on the German standard, you'd never be able to call a genocide a genocide until its fully executed. Which obviously supports those committing the genocide.

That's patently false.

Obviously what is happening in Gaza is terrible and Israel needs to be condemned, but what they’re doing is still not on the same level of evil as Nazi Germany. As someone with a relative who died in a Nazi death camp, I resoundingly disagree. The scale may be relatively smaller, given that they're attempting to steal a much smaller area of land for their Lebensraum, but the level of evil is th...

Not every land grab is lebensraum. Sure. Wars for territorial expansion are not intended to be legal. But you need more nuance.

what [Netenyahu's Israel is] doing is still not on the same level of evil as Nazi Germany. Very difficult to say this for sure. Some of the acts we've seen are on the same level, frankly. And how could you possibly measure this, objectively? I don't think this can be argued meaningfully, and so should be removed from your argument. As to the German law: Is that applicable here on Lemmy? Is it u...

You can even get prosecuted for things you do outside of Germany if police gets their hands on you.

Most of the time this does not happen due to lack of public interest. Nobody wants to lock you up due to some bat shit post you made on the Internet. Unless it had a very wide reach and was particularly deplorable. And linked to your real identity. And there was an arrest warrant. And you entered German jurisdiction or an allies jurisdiction who extradites for that crime.

This only happens in the thoughts of paranoid people though.

Why not? Marx supported the Paris Commune, and was critical of them for not going far enough to solidify the revolution. Marx supported communists and revolutionaries, he was an organizer himself.

No, not every land grab is a Lebensraum, but these are by Israel’s many own admissions over several generations.

Do you really not understand that Hamas did not exist before the genocide of Palestinians started? They cannot have provoked this in any way, as you repeatedly have attempted to imply with your arguments that this is different from the Holocaust.

The "Israelis" are colonizers. Not a single acre of the land they live on is rightfully theirs. It's all stolen, except maybe a very, very small minority of Jews who lived there prior to the colonization AND consider themselves "Israelis" now AND still live on their ancestral properties, but even they still benefit from the colonialism.

I'm not misinterpreting what you said. It's just that what you said doesn't actually make sense the way you think it does, because you think (incorrectly) that this is a thousand year old religious conflict. That's orientalist propaganda designed to make you support the existence of "Israel".

In reality, where this is not a thousand year conflict but a hundred year colonization and genocide, the only way what you said makes any sense is if the Jews didn't fight back. Because Hamas is fighting back and you are arguing it's different from the Jewish reaction to the Holocaust. The Jews did fight back. It's not different.

Edit: I just realized this is a 10 hour old comment I replied to in the parallel thread.

Yes, if you read the comment you're replying to...

I do understand what you mean, however the attempted genocide that christians, jews and muslims are doing to each other is much older than any of that.

Incorrect and also hasbara. This is an ahistorical orientalist fabrication that is designed to obscure the very clear and obvious colonial nature of "Israel".

The alternative interpretation of this sentence, that they don't want to see a genocide but they don't mind if it happens where they don't see it, is also true.
