Hexbear, Lemmygrad, and Lemmy.ml. Hexbear has five Hamas emojis:

Sorry, that's what I thought. The tankie triad is literally the 3 most problematic instances on lemmy and I want no association with them.

I will give you that hexbear and .ml are big communities, but they are basically the only 3 instances which share your stance and that does not qualify as most or many.

Most Palestinians support Hamas. Even the Palestinians who prefer another form of government to Hamas still support Hamas's direct actions.

Destroying Nazi Germany to restore Germany is the same as destroying Israel to restore Palestine.

Look I don't agree with your stance at all. I am asking you to have the self awareness that you're stance is not mainstream. That most people that support Palestine do not support Hamas, even if the Palestinians themselves do. It is a purity test that will fail at every level and you are left only associating with communities that espouse pro Russian propaganda.

Humor me and point me at the instances which openly support Hamas. I didn't think this instance was one until this thread and I am not on-board with that.

You are conflating leftists with being Pro-Hamas and that is categorically untrue. "Actual leftist" is a no true Scotsman argument. Pro Palestine is not Pro Hamas and in most cases those in the former go out of their way to explicitly state this.

Israel must be destroyed (just as Nazi Germany needed to be destroyed and was, so don't try to pretend that means the same thing as "all people in Germany must be killed"

Note you had to specify Nazi Germany needed to be destroyed and not Germany. So don't pretend that Israel must be destroyed is a good faith statement here.

Mods removing my comment for calling Hamas a terrorist organization os ridiculous.

If the stance of this federation is otherwise and you have issue with other communities stating the obvious, you may as well defederate everywhere. I can't think of a single other community where this is the norm.

You can make the argument that Palestinians have no other options and therefore terrorism is acceptable, but you still need the self awareness that this is not general consensus.

Banning every community that disagrees with you on this will only leave you on a deserted island.

I actually went and checked out the proposed communities to ban. It's all just regular euro news and posts on the front pages. No pro-Israel posts or comments anywhere.

If you feel that the mods banning comments like "Destruction to Israel" or "Hamas is not a terrorist group" is pro-Israel, I don't know what to tell you. You either want to join other communities or you don't. This is starting to look like what the vote is really about.

I agree the mods are using antisemitism as a bit of a blanket power for abuse, but this whole post just sounds like personal beef.

Their rules look reasonable and most of their mod logs look acceptable. Some of the removed comments are over the top hate.

I never see these posts in my feed but I would disagree with this ban.

Imo, the worst half time show in my lifetime was probably Paul McCartney. Not that he was bad at all but someone had to be the worst. He was just an overly conservative pick as an overadjustment to the nipslip.

And Kevin Sorbo is a douche

Franctario!

Sir, Russia can't complete a 3 day special operation. If China had the will and firepower to stop the US they'd be able to do it without Russia.

And we don't know if China would actually team up with the EU to fight the US, or let both sides weaken each other while they take over Taiwan.

Who is going to be WW2 America in this metaphor?

Would you respect your parents more of they paid actors and a cameraman to create the video instead?

The article mainly points out a Chinese AI kid toy for spouting chinese propaganda. I mean, obviously?

Their examples from the more popular mainstream toys was that it doesn't prevent explaining how to light a match and how to sharpen a knife. Neither if those are that ridiculous. If a kid knows to ask they probably old enough to figure it out.
