Lemmy.world reportedly bans people for being anti-Zionist. At the same time, numerous human rights organizations have documented that Zionist policies and actions amount to crimes against humanity (e.g., forced displacement, collective punishment, apartheid).
If banning opposition to crimes against humanity is itself anti-humanity, doesn’t that make lemmy.world complicit? How do you reconcile defending a platform that silences critics while atrocities continue?


Hey buddy. This really isn’t so difficult. I’m going to clarify things for you and make this very simple for you.
Do you believe Israel has a right to exist as a nation state? Yes or no? If you answer yes, you are a Zionist. There is no burden of proof required. It is an ideology, this is not a court of law.
You pussyfooting around the point all but confirms to a scrupulous reader that you’re very likely a Zionist, but I’m willing to be wrong on this. Just tell us you condemn Israel and admit it has no right to exist and we will happily clear your name of the evil Zionist label.
But something tells me deep down inside that you’re going to throw a fit instead.
The correct question should include “as a Jewish state”.
You’ve guaranteed a bad interaction so just know I’ve blocked you. Fuck Israel and fuck people who try to divide the left based on shit they made up. The only conclusion that can be drawn from what you said here is actually that you either find no problem with reposting neo-Nazis or you’d just prefer to believe I’m making up that it happened. No one needs to prove shit to cunts.
Right, if you can’t tell us that Israel has no right to exist, you’re a Zionist. “Fuck Israel” is a weak cop out that scumbags use to hide their Zionism.
Now you can stop acting confused when people label you that way, right? Right?
Zionist trash.
