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

ah yes the “im just following orders” defence the favorite of the saurkrauts

What I said had nothing to do with that. Anyway, I can't keep up with all the stuff people are saying to me, so please excuse if I don't elaborate further.

jews actually did fought back against being exterminated by the Nazis

What I mean was in the time before the Holocaust even started.

When do you think "Israelis" started committing genocide against Palestinians? Hint: "Israel" is a settler colony.

The current one? Roughly around 1919 with the British support of an Israeli state.

That's a fair answer. And when was Hamas founded? By comparing those two dates, you can see that it's actually the same as Jews fighting back against the Holocaust.
