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

You mean the outdated charter that has since been replaced to clarify opposition to the settler colonial state, rather than Jews as a whole?

Oh, yeah, that's so much better. "We will keep fighting until we eliminate a country" is such a peaceful and lovable sentiment!

You mean the colony established over the legitimate Palestinian State? This is like saying it's bad to fight for the abolition of the Reichskommissariats.

Palestinian State didn't exist before the very same resolution that created Israel. It was the Palestinian Region of the Ottoman Empire. It's like calling people living in the Alps "Alpians" and stating that "the French and the Swiss colonised the legitimate Alpian State".
Israelites, just like Palestinians, have a historical claim to that territory. If you firmly believe that they should not have any part of it - where would you place them?

[–] agentant@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 minutes ago

The Palestinian people are a people who have lived in that region for hundreds of years, just because they were previously occupied by Ottomans doesn't mean there's no material basis for the nation of Palestine being present in the region. The Jews like the Roma are a stateless nation and we do not need a state. Further, Jews have remained present in Palestine and have peacefully coexisted with them, there's no reason to believe they wouldn't be represented under a Palestinian state. Palestinians themselves, were decedents of the Ancient Israelites who converted to Islam. Aggression between the two groups only started when a genocidal settler colony began using our name, the Jewish People, to justify their actions.

They're a genocide defender from a Finnish instance, they might actually think that.

I love how you guys call me a "genocide defender" after I've stated so many times that Netanyahu and everybody responsible for the genocide should be tried and eliminated. :D

You're exactly like MAGA - a fundamentalist who believes that if someone isn't 100% committed to ALL tenets of your cause, they're a traitor and an enemy. This tribalism is pathetic and a cancer on our society.

[–] agentant@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 minute ago

Ok but you don't reject the Israeli State. Which was founded on a genocide. This is like saying you're anti-genocide but you support the US's right to exist.

You think this is because of Netanyahu and that this genocide is a recent thing? This genocide is inherent to the state of "Israel", which is a settler colony. If you believe "Israel" should exist, you are a genocide defender.

No, I just think people who think colonialism is acceptable are enemies. Because you are.

Yes, the genocide is a recent thing considering the Palestinian population has been steadily growing, while their culture was not in any danger of being wiped out.

This genocide is inherent to the state of “Israel”, which is a settler colony. If you believe “Israel” should exist, you are a genocide defender.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're out to get you right after they've finished eating their newborn babies. WTF are you smoking,

If you believe “Israel” should exist, you are a genocide defender.

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what "genocide" means.

Funnily enough - YOU are a proponent of genocide, if you believe the Israelites should have their nationality removed. That's literally one of the defining aspects of a genocide.

No, I just think people who think colonialism is acceptable are enemies. Because they are.

I don't defend colonialism >as defined in real life<. It's not what you consider to be "colonialism", but that's just because you're a fundamentalist and an extremist.

lmao, Nakba AND colonialism denial. Excellent.

More colonialism denial.

Yeah, it's all just colonialism denial. You are a genocidal colonialism supporter.
