For what it's worth I've always leaned on the side of the Palestinians, even before the russians invaded in 2014. I just think some caution is needed with using the term Zionist (especially when there is a solid chance of changing their views).

I will be honest, I didn't realize plight of Palestinians until after Gaza genocide started.

The two sides propaganda and broad support across western regimes works well to keep narratives going.

I don't see how the server admins are not zionists at this point but that's jist t opinion.

The whole point of fedi is to test opinions in public discourse.

People should make up their own minds.

I would say the test of public discourse should have limits. For example "North Korea is a great place to live and their regime is a vanguard against western imperialism" should not be treated as spam/trolling. I would argue the same for "genocide of russian speakers in Donbas".

But I digress. You are right in that we must have the opportunity to state facts about Gaza even if it means damning outcomes for the Israeli polity (i.e. factual recognition that Israel is a genocidal settler colonialiat state).
