  • Nobody said Hamas was perfect. But dont forget the main reason Hamas is classified by the west as a terrorist organisation is because that's how Israel likes it. That's why they installed them into power in the first place. It gives them carte blanche to murder the fuck out of them, while western allies turn a blind eye to the killing of more terroristsbrown people. If you think of Hamas as freedom fighters against a genocidal colonial occupier then things really start to take on a different perspective.

  • We all get why Germany has strong laws against antisemitism, given its history. That doesn't mean German support towards Israel need to be unconditional, which is what has happened, in effect. The left, the right and the center in Germany all seem to agree on one thing... unconditional support for Israel.

    "German history and our responsibility arising from the Holocaust make it our duty to stand up for the existence and security of the State of Israel." -- Olaf Scholz, October 2024.

    You are basically taking the same line as Scholz, despite the fact Israel has proven itself to be a fascist ethnostate that seems intent on genociding all its neighbours. Anyone who is still committed to justifying or both-sidesing the Israeli genocide of Palestinians needs a smack in the head imo.

    I do accept the fact you have acknowledged the genocide. But then why are you so hung up about folk making equivalences between fascist genocidal Israelis and fascist genocidal Nazis? It's about the most obvious comparison one could make. Arguing that it's a false equivalence is simply another way to excuse the atrocities committed by Israel. Statements like "Israel has done a few bad things, but they are nowhere near as bad as the Nazis, so you mustn't make a direct comparison" are nothing more than genocide apologia. Just because Israel has done a "smaller" genocide (so far) doesn't mean shit to me. Zionist ideology is just as reprehensible as Nazi ideology.

    More than 75,000 Palestinians were killed in the first 15 months of Israel's military assault in Gaza, a figure far higher than the 49,000 deaths local health officials announced at the time, says a new study by The Lancet Global Health medical journal. The peer-reviewed study, published on Wednesday, found that women, children and the elderly comprised some 56.2% of violent deaths in Gaza during that period, a composition that it said roughly aligned with reporting by Gaza's health ministry. [...]

    "The combined evidence suggests that, as of Jan 5, 2025, 3–4% of the population of the Gaza Strip had been killed violently and there have been a substantial number of non-violent deaths caused indirectly by the conflict," the authors wrote. Source

  • I haven't tallied up all the comments yet but it's definitely on the table. Once the votes are closed I'll analyse the results, and then do a sense check with the other admins.

    I will say that the responses from feddit.org to this post have mostly just confirmed the issue, unfortunately. Those commenters, really haven't done their instance any favours.

    And a lot of our users seem to prefer a full defed, rather than community bans, so we've got to take that into account too.

  • Here in Sauerkrautland, the fascists are doing the same thing, of course.

    Are they? Or are you just bringing the same brain dead energy as US centrist libs who like to claim that anti fascists are the same as fascists somehow? The one thing most Germans can agree on is that Israel "has done bad things" but that the Palestinians are "terrorist scum" who deserve whatever punishment Israel dishes out. That's your Zionist mindset in a nutshell.

    [...] But, by pushing anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant, and anti-Palestinian laws to the political forefront, AfD has already mainstreamed its agenda and changed the country.

    The right has pushed the boundaries of what is acceptable, manipulating Germany’s culture of reckoning with its past into a commitment to defend Israel at all costs and no matter how extreme its actions. This proxy nationalism is defended by an unholy alliance of right, left, and center. Almost all German political parties, media, police, citizenship authorities, and even universities and cultural institutions are working together to suppress activists, scholars, and even the UN’s special rapporteur.

    “I was really shocked by the political pressure on the universities and the anti-Palestinian racism, and I intend to write a report about it,” Albanese, the U.N. rapporteur, told Drop Site after the event. “It’s clear that there is racism against the Palestinians here, negating their identity.”

    Under the mayoralty of Kai Wegner of the conservative Christian Democrats—whose party is predicted to lead in Sunday’s national elections—the city of Berlin has turned into a flashpoint for cracking down on pro-Palestinian speech, with protesters regularly brutalized, including Jewish students at a university occupation and women at marches protesting violence against women, as well as at a memorial for people killed by a right-wing terrorist.

  • And I know we’re a cantankerous bunch at best lol, hard to please everyone. But it needs to be clear this isn’t the Flatworm show, please, because of how central that is to the premise and organizing principles here. Ya know?

    Yeah thanks for the feedback. I agree I did a better job with representing all positions on the last vote to be honest. I think maybe part of the reason was that I felt we were in general agreement on putting it to a vote, so there wasn't much diversity of opinion to report. But yeah, still.

    Maybe for these governance decisions, a primary post with the main info as is, and one or more top level comments with specific categories of additional info? Maybe a blurb or POV from each admin/mod team contributor, maybe a section with concrete “we want this to improve by doing such”, or etc.

    Good suggestion tbh, thanks.

    Edit - to elaborate a little more since I never really manage to be brief, the biggest thing I’ve liked about this instance from when I first got to know it, is the commitment to transparency around decision-making. I’m just asking for that. If trying to change instance governance, the discussion among y’all should simply be here. I can imagine that poses some challenges.

    You're right, we should probably commit to having a public discussion first before putting things to a vote in future.

    I’m more willing to make charitable assumptions with y’all than just about anywhere, and I’m telling y’all that even with that, this isn’t enough. I can’t tell how anyone feels but you, and the goals need some guesses too. But again, thank you for being the one willing to take the effort here.

    Yeah I probably didn't really sell the case that well and should have put together something more compelling. What is kind of surprising to me is how strong support for the proposal has been, despite that fact. But all I can do at this point is to try to do a better job next time. Thanks for the constructive criticism.

  • You are the one assuming phrases calling for the death of a nation state are a literal call to genocide everyone inside that nation state. That's the worst possible bad faith interpretation of that phrasing one could make. Yes it's one possible meaning, among many others. Yet despite everyone here telling you your interpretation is bad faith and that's not what we mean by it, here you are insisting your interpretation is the only possible correct one. I don't know if the German language is just very literal about such things, but that's simply not how English works. Essentially what you and Feddit.org and Germany itself has done, is to mischaracterise that phrase by redefining it according to your own biases, and then banning the phrase on the basis of your own definition. That's what is lazy and malicious and childish.

  • I think they just like to always assume the worst in order to justify their own overly broad definition of antsemitism, accusations of which are used to shield Israel (and Germany's support of Israel) from valid criticism. After all if they can claim they are fighting antisemitism instead of aiding a genocide, then the political optics are much better.

  • DickTasty and SubJesus are the worst possible examples someone could make to illustrate this point.

    The other Guy, I don't know much about, but he was breaking the rule. You only showed one of his removed comments. This comment was a blatant violation of rule 7, and the user is a self-described [liberal] progressive, so 🤷 I guess.

    I'll also just point out that there is no barrier for anyone to open up an Anarcho-Electoralist community. Personally I like the rule in place, it stops the community from being swamped by libs during the US election cycle. Why should we all have to suffer through their bullshit?
