I was just perusing the modlog when I noticed something interesting. Apparently posting news about Gaza/Palestine is not allowed on !worldnews@sh.itjust.works. I decided to check the side bar and didn’t see anything. The only pinned post also does not indicate that this is not allowed

edit: the mod in question is @Eyekaytee@aussie.zone . sorry for not originally tagging. i hadn’t realized it was a rule that this must be done. i thought it seemed inappropriate since i was trying to initiate a conversation about a community’s rules and culture rather than start drama about an individual

    It’s not my fault you open antisemitic propaganda pages. Do you give your bank info to random pop ups on porn sites too and then blame it on your computer? Weird how you keep using the word antisemitism when we are talking about Zionism. Why is that? Do you see how the conflation can happen? Most adults know how to use google, you can find tutorials but someone might need to show you how to use youtube first.

    Are you just an open liar? The first page when you search his name is plastered with the term “Media Mogul”.

    This is why people don’t talk to you. Stop with the games or leave me alone. You convince no-one. Actually, keep it up, people on the fence can see how dumb your position sounds.

    But yeah, not a guy who is connected in any way to a government or media organization. I’m done with you. I wish you could open your heart to the suffering of the world, but it’s not my job to pry it open. It’s not my heart to care about.

    But go on, let’s hear about how Fortune and the BBC are Neo Nazi propaganda outlets. You freak. Fuck you. Saying that I consumed neo nazi propaganda? If you knew me… But of course you don’t. Fortune magazine? The BBC? God I hope you’re a bot because I do not want to have wasted the past hour talking to a wall. I don’t want to believe that anyone could be so dense.

    But if you don’t want to do any genuine research, as I said, kindly walk away. Keep your horrible, awful vibes to yourself and jerk off over every meter of the Gaza strip which bears a new Israeli flag planted in a generational family home. Be shitty. Who cares about you. It’s you who will need to live with this.

      Quite the reaction to being challenged on your views.

      Do you consider that there’s any overlap between antizionism and antisemitism at all?

        More of a reaction to being treated like a child, we are adults. We can talk like adults. I am not an idiot, if you lie clearly, it will be clear.

        To your question, yes, I think that there is overlap. And that is the danger. I have seen more antisemitism in the mainstream in the last 3 years than in my entire life. My great-aunt burned our family documents in the 90s because she was still afraid that another holocaust could happen. I understand the sensitivity. But it can never be an excuse to do to others what was done to your people. Nobody can look at what is happening and use any other word. We are witnessing a holocaust carried out by the people from which I come. Weep, do not cheer. I think that we are on the same side. I mean, I’m sure that we have different views on the state of Israel and its actions spanning the past 80 years.

        But I believe that this genocide, which we all see daily, which we cannot deny, which is ruining the emotional health of former IDF soldiers used as pawns for an imperial endeavor and destroying the lives of their cousins that they are forced to dehumanize and kill, (Again, I speak in-person with former and current IDF members, do you?) is pushing people who might not have had much of an opinion, maybe they laughed at old Jewish jokes, pushing them towards actual hate, because people like Bibi constantly conflate this genocide as a holy war for the Jewish people. When in reality it is an imperial massacre. He and others like him conflate this genocide with protecting the Jewish people. Which side are you on, antisemitism, or pro-genocide of Arabs? Asks Bibi.

          So how do we identify antisemitism within that antizionism?

            I’m not a scholar on the subject, but I would say that antisemites are racist again Jews, in the same way that other racists are racist against Arabs or blacks. The exact same thing, ethnic hate. It’s usually pretty easy to identify real hate. Especially if you have been following this conflict. Look into Smoltrich’s eyes when he speaks if you need a reference for what hate or evil looks like. There are also plenty of antisemitic podcasters out there. The difference is noticeable.

            Antizionists do not believe in the extermination of the indigenous ethnic groups who were inhabiting Palestine AT THE TIME THAT THE EUROPEANS ARRIVED, but do not hate Jews in general. Many of us are jews or come from Jewish backgrounds. An antisemite might hate that a Synagogue opens down the street, an antizionist wouldn’t care, but would hate that a mosque was demolished with anti-tank mines for a tik tok video in Gaza. It’s a pretty easy thing to notice.

            I have living relatives older than Israel, Israel is not Judaism. We do not believe that the land being stolen should be stolen, we do not believe that the people being massacred, should be massacred. We can call it Zionism because that is the word that we have come to use, but it’s good ol’ fashioned colonialism with a pretty name, and we both know it. If it makes you feel nicer, let’s call it settler-colonialism. No connection to religion at all.

            Something like that, it’s actually a very easy distinction to make. The only people that I see struggling with the distinction are Zionists.

            There is always going to be racism. But my fellow human being, genocide is taking place with our money, we are doing this. We will have to die one day and answer for this, and you know as well as I on which side of the scale this will fall.

            Did you hear about the ceasefire? Let’s see what Israel does. Let’s just see.

              So we both know that this conflict didn’t pop up after the 7th of October.

              But before the 7th of October, was there a ceasefire present? If so, what happened to it?
