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

And what does that have to do with people removing peoples posts calling for more violence?

Because Palestinians have the legal right under UN law to struggle against their occupiers by any means necessary, including armed struggle, while Israel, as an occupier, has no right to “self defense.”

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.

The Intercept:

Netanyahus War on Truth

The Story Behind the New York Times October 7 Expos�

Al Jazeera: Why did Israel deploy Hannibal Directive, allowing killing of own citizens?

Electronic Intifada: How Israel killed hundreds of its own people on 7 October

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

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

The people are calling for Palestinian self-defense against the apartheid state intent on their genocide. The two aren't comparable forms of violence.

[–] einkorn@feddit.org 5 points 4 days ago (2 children)

There is a difference between calling for self-defense, calling for killings and supporting Hamas killing civilians.

The users here have even less critical thinking ability than Reddit, and I didn't think that were possible. More than one thing can be bad at the same time, but apparently you have to pick teams here and then call for death to the other team. Lemmy is a fucking parody now.

please note the similarities to pissrahelli hasbara and indigenous resistance in palestine.
