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

If you really see support of genocide and zionism in what I said, I really don't know what I could say to convince you. It seems you're not truly listening to me and trying to understand.

Oh no, people are not trying to understand your subtle and nuanced argument of "Palestinian genocide and the Holocaust are different because the Jews never fought back".

You are trying to reduce my argument to one dimension that "sounds" reasonable, while ignoring things like it literally being in the charter of Hamas to destroy all Jewish people in Israel. And you're going to say it is the prerogative of Palestinians to fight back, and again I would completely agree with you. It just doesn't make much sense to argue with you, so I'm going to stop.

You mean the outdated charter that has since been replaced to clarify opposition to the settler colonial state, rather than Jews as a whole?

That is good and I did not know that.

Oh look, now you're straight up lying to apologize for genocide.

I would completely agree with you.

No you wouldn't, you've consistently condemned all militant resistance by Palestinians, and claimed that the Palestinian genocide isn't as bad as the Holocaust because the Jews didn't fight back. (Which, to be clear, is also a lie)

How surprising, you're doing Hasbara. The charter was irrelevant soon after it was written, Hamas changed many times very quickly throughout its history, and the charter you're referring to was in fact literally replaced with a new one in 2017. You are a zionist.

And you’re going to say it is the prerogative of Palestinians to fight back, and again I would completely agree with you.

No, you wouldn't and you didn't. The trick of "fighting back is their right but they're doing it wrong" isn't fooling anyone.

And there it is the Zionist blood libel against Palestinians and repeat of genocide propaganda.
