I have a hard time believing you care about opsec if you think rotating across accounts is a bannable offense.

Israel is by its very construction an entho-nationalist state. I don't simply advocate for freedom of religion, I advocate for the abolishing of all Jewish supremacist structures that makes up its government.

In my opinion it would no longer be recognizable as modern Israel, but they could keep the name if they'd like.

Then what is even the point of this rule? If historical Palestine becomes a single secular state with equal rights for all, and Israel ceases to exist as a Jewish state, then I'd be free to say 'fuck yea let's do that'?

“Zionism is a settler-colonial ideology, and Israel should become a state that provides equal rights for Palestinians”

Except the moderation rule feddit has implemented does not allow for this statement, unless you specifically say that jews deserve equal rights in a single-state solution - which is similar to those who respond to 'black lives matter' by saying 'but all lives matter'. Saying 'Palestinians deserve equal rights' wouldn't be necessary if equal rights were already afforded them, and the point of making that statement is to draw attention to the fact that they currently aren't

This singular and persistent focus on the destruction of the (unfortunatly) already existing state of Israel, really makes it likely that many people rather use that as a dogwistle for antisemitism.

Nobody who is advocating for Palestinian liberation uses the word "destroy" or 'destruction' when referring to the dissolution of Israel - I only ever see those words used by people trying to make this inference between anti-zionism and antisemitism. The only people who take statements of liberation as a threat against Jews are people who are collaborating or benefiting from the oppression Israel conducts in their name.

How dare we ignore the trauma of those committing violent oppression?!

there is a very specific legal reason for that

A misguided or intentionally malicious reason, for what the effect of that law is. Codifying into law the conflation of Judaism/ethnic Jewish identity with zionism is itself antisemitic. Calling for the end of Zionism isn't the same as calling for the end of Jews or Judaism. What is the use of being allowed to criticize Zionism the ideology when you're not also allowed to advocate for its end?

"Zionism is a settler-colonial ideology." <- Ok "Zionism is a settler-colonial ideology, and Israel as a Zionist project should be dissolved in favor of a single-state that provides equal rights for Palestinians" <- Not ok, somehow?

The law as written only allows abstract and dissociated critique of Zionism, but forbids any criticism that comes too close to threatening Israel's existence as a ethno-nationalist state. That's a huge problem.

Their server isn't located within Germany, from what I'm reading.

From what I understand, the situation they are worried about is a german authority gaining access to their personal devices or somehow de-anonymizing their accounts and associating them with their actual identity while living in/traveling through germany, and seeing the type of content they are posting/allowing to be posted on a community they moderate.

The actual risk of exposure to them is incredibly small.

Calling for the dissolution of Israel, or calling for a one-state solution without specifying equal rights for all people; Jewish in particular

This part floored me. As if it wasnt Israel that was currently denying equal rights to Palestinians and not the other way around... this is just the zionist version of 'all lives matter' bullshit.

Really? His account is 2 months old and this is his first actual post, unless he switched accounts recently or I just can't see the full history from my instance for some reason

I don't even know why someone would do that, but it's just striking me as weird

I'm about 90% sure this picture and story has been posted on lemmy before

No, he's just a divorced dad

edit: wow this joke was not well-received. Half of this song is just straight up references to his divorce though, it's basically a manifesto of the divorced-dad to reactionary pipeline.

Man these people took my kids from me
Then they post my bank account
I got so much anger in me
Got no way to take it out

With all of the money and fame
I still can't get my kids back
With all of the money and fame
I still don't get to see my children

That man is very much not ok with his divorce.

I mean, that sounds so reductive to me, but it's the only thing that makes sense.

He's paranoid and seeing shadows, but he supports Israel so it doesn't matter if he's losing his mind. As long as his hallucinations are telling him to vote with the major party positions, they might as well just be another staff advisor.

I think the dems are trying hard to resist the popular momentum in the progressive side of the party, and letting his seat be re-filled would open a vulnerability. There's a small chance that a special election would cause them to lose the seat entirely, but the nationwide sentiment is in their favor - it seems to me they're more worried about a progressive challenger. But that's just speculation.

WHY IS THIS MAN STILL IN OFFICE

Between this and the other story earlier this week, its crystal fucking clear that he is not well. Does nobody close to him care about his clear brain damage from his stroke? It's like the entire federal government is weekend at bernie's and the whole thing is being run by staffers

Everything i disagree with is propaganda

Like that?

Lol, well, uh... then fuck you?

Jesus christ. Maybe i don't care about Ukrainians or Europeans because they were mean to me once? If you think the genocide in Gaza doesn't 100% have the risk of spreading through the Middle east and into Europe, too, I don't think you're worth the time. And anyway, those weren't the genocides I was referring to.

Feels a little like you just don't like Arabs or Muslims.

I see absolutely zero indication of this being right-wing propaganda.

I've seen a lot of mentions of other genocides on my instance, but what's notable about the Palestinian genocide is that the US and the western world is directly involved in it.

Typically when I see this complaint it's paired with a general vibe of wanting to deflect attention away from western atrocities. Not that I know enough to accuse you of that, but still.

Absolutely this.

Anyone denying the clear signals of despair from young voters is coping. Idk why anyone is getting mad at people demanding progress from dems at a time when there's no risk of electoral losses - makes me think those people are actually just carrying water for ani-reform neoliberal fascists.

Jesus, we're feeling dramatic

Hes saying he hopes the US gets invaded and everyone gets put on pikes.

No, he's saying you, not americans. He called you a settler who was caping for nazis, and he hoped the people resisting them put you on a pike. You asked (I assume, based on his response) what made you a 'settler', and explained what that is (any member of a settler colonial state, which includes the US), but it looks as if the fact that you were defending the nazis is why he hoped you got put on a pike. You were the one who came to the erroneous conclusion that settlers and ethno-nationalists were the same, not him.

You say theyre zionists because there citizens of isreal.

No, what makes someone a zionist is their belief that ethnic Jews deserve their own state, primarily through the colonization of Israel via the displacement of native Palestinians. What makes them bad is their belief they have exclusive right to that land, and their willingness to conduct a decades-long genocide in order to realize it.

You dont care that they denounce the genocide, just their race.

It is extremely dangerous to conflate zionism and Judaism, and you should absolutely shut the fuck up about this issue unless you understand the implications of your language. There are millions of Christian and secular americans (this you?) who are zionists, and i'd condemn them just as soon as i'd condemn an ethnic jew for supporting zionism.

I don't care if they 'denounce' genocide so long as they're still justifying it as necessary or inevitable, and that's exactly what makes Hila and Ethan Zionists. American colonists justified genociding the natives west of the mississippi because they believed they had 'manifest destiny' and because they believed the Natives were dangerous barbarians (sound familiar?), and this is no different and no less contemptible.

How can you not see that that is racism? Its impossible to not understand this.

Right, just like opposing Nazi occupation of Poland would be racist against Germans. A nazi is a nazi whether they're a German citizen or not, and Zionists are Zionists whether they're Israeli (or Jewish) or not. Ethno-nationalism is ethno-nationalism.

Well he's actually saying he hopes those who are resisting the nazis you're not caping for put you on a pike, so I guess you shouldn't be worried

Idk man this whole thing stinks of mischaracterization and knowing your opinion of two pretty open zionists makes me really not trust you

But for sure what I'm not seeing is him calling for the death of all Americans.
