When having to admit their fault the moderator started looking for arbitrary reasons to ban me. Such as not using the exact terminology of the Amnesty report. Which does not call it genocide.


The moderator is also watching user votes, and calling out people not voting with him.

    Oh hey you’re doing exactly what I criticised this community for – Interrogating peoples views as opposed to the moderation and whether or not the person, you in this case, deserved it.

    But you’re also cherry-picking, three comments out of context, and three links from neutral sources when the conflict was fresh. Here are a random assortment of comments I’ve also made when you search Israel. Convenient how you left these out, note the dates.

    To make it clear:

    I believe Israel has the right to exist, but not the settlements in the West Bank, and certainly not as a religious state. But I also believe the same of Palestine, that it should be a state that can be held to international law and also not as a religious state. I find myself in agreement with Macron’s plan for peace. I also believe there is great conflation between zionism, imperialism and antisemitism.

    If you are supportive of a two-state solution, where both Israel and Palestine have independent states, then you are a zionist as you believe Israel should exist. Israel’s apparent plans to take over Gaza are imperialist and wrong, as is their response to the 7th of October massacres, but not all of Gaza is innocent either, as is evident by the initial attack.

    I think it’s important to draw this distinction because extremist groups (which I have much experience with) often use zionist as a dog-whistle for Jew. It appears some people mistake neutrality or fairness as supportive of one side, as if there can only be one side suffering during wars.

    My personal view is that violence is wrong.

      The first screenshot is by top .The second by new. Weird that I simply selected the first search comments which show you defending genocide and actively pushing pro-genocide propaganda. How very selective of me.

      You chose to respond in this thread. And now you are called out you quickly flee because it is becoming very inconvenient. I am sure you would rather continue this discussion in a place where you can censor people like you keep doing.

      I think it’s important to draw this distinction because extremist groups (which I have much experience with) often use zionist as a dog-whistle for Jew.

      Look at that even the generic gaslighting. Pretending that all criticism of Israel and Zionism is Jew hate even when the word Jew is not mentioned. It really makes it clear what side you are on by repeating that propaganda. By the way I cannot find a single instance of you saying Israel is committing genocide. I can find many instances of you trying to both-sides the genocide though.

      Can you confirm Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and in the West Bank?

        Gaza? Yes, as the Holodomor is a genocide, and the suppression of food that Israel is doing is very similar to what Stalin did. So yes.

        The West Bank? I’m unsure about but I think you can fairly say it is apartheid, and the settlements are largely illegal and shouldn’t exist. In what country in the world can you have private citizens with military-grade weaponry pointing at another state’s citizens? It’s wrong.
