A user on lemmy.world/c/aboringdystopia stated that Jews should be ashamed of themselves for the actions of Israel.
I rhetorically responded “Why?” and reported the antisemitic comment.
Reporting them was deemed “Trolling” by the moderator, who believes there is nothing wrong with shaming all Jews for the actions of Israel because some Jews state they are ashamed of it themselves.
I explained the moderator why the comment was antisemitic. In a twist of events, they then permabanned me, deleted all my posts from the comunity and told me I would feel more at home at .ml.
Can we just agree that
YES, right extreme state of Israel = bad
NO, not the whole religion and all Jews are therefore bad (at least not more than other religions) ?
Extremely annoying that political criticism and religious hate always get mixed up (partly on purpose).
I don’t like murica government, doesn’t make me anti christian, I don’t like Iran government, doesn’t make me anti-muslim, I don’t like israel- government, doesn’t make me antisemitic.
Also: I don’t like how easy nonscientific believes such as religions can be used as tools to crowd control
Talk about ideas, deeds, actors and political regimes, not about people grouped by religions, ethnicity or looks and you have a much more productive discussion.
