    Define zionism

    Do I think Israel has a right to exist? Yeah

    Do I think it has the right to enact imperialism? No

      I don’t think genocide denialism is based. Shh tho… we should watch out what we say, the mod of this comm is very “strict” and could ban us for “”OfF ThE tOpic diScuSSion””. Don’t worry, I’m sure you didn’t do it on purpose to get me banned.

      Anyway according to the wikipedia definition:

      Zionism is an ethnocultural nationalist movement that emerged in late 19th-century Europe to establish and support a Jewish homeland through the colonization of Palestine.

      So you support colonial ethno-nationalism, that sounds bad… maybe you are watching too much BBC? :)

        Watch out, he’ll ban you and claim he’s different than Tankies. Banning you because you hurt his feelings is genocide denialism!

        And he has bots that tell him every time someone comments or even edits posts here. And even Hexbear’s dogmatic admins don’t do that shit.

        edit: “i don’t ban people for disagreeing, except all of db0”

          None of that is true at all. I don’t ban others for disagreeing unless it’s explicitly genocide denialism, such as denying China’s human rights violations (Uyghurs) or the soviet union’s (Holodomor), and I give them ample opportunity to reword their statement before they possibly get banned.

          I also don’t use bots. I’m subscribed to the community, so I get notifications for new comments and posts. Hexbear, Lemmy.ml and Lemmygrad also use bots to automatically ban others. Though so does SJW and Lemmy.world, there are some users who just keep using alt accounts.

        Just because I think Israel has the right to exist doesn’t mean I have to agree with its method of doing so.

        I’m also one of the least strict mods. If you break the rules, you only get a temp ban.

          I thought only people have rights, not countries… Mmm can you point me to the international law where it says the countries have a right to exist?

          So, you support a colonial ethno-nationalist country committing genocide on the base of a non-existing law.

          “I support serial killers, I just I don’t agree with their nasty “killing” policy duh!”

          And you are the only mod of this community documenting hate speech? I’m confused goat…

                  Well… it would make sense since you support its (made up) right to exist. It’s kinda weird to support only the right to exist of a specific tiny young country. Do you also support the right of Iran?

                    Iran’s right to exist as a country? Yes

                    are you building up to something with these gotchas?
