As millions of Americans are about to go hungry due to the US government refusing to fund SNAP, just remember that only two countries voted against making food a basic human right. The US and the terrorist colony of Israel

    At the risk of getting banned, when I only saw one country in red and “2” in the summary l knew exactly where on the map I needed to zoom to find the second

          i didn’t know that.

          .world was always more reddit-y and conservative, but i wasn’t really expecting fascism/zionism from them so soon.

            JordanLund and Seriunus are two prime examples. Power mods who remove you if you prove them wrong. Serinus even said that “from the river to the sea, palestine will be free” is actually antisemetic, and the admins didn’t do anything about it, nor JL’s constant power abuse when he was wrong. Even after the admins took over a month to do something, they just dumped entire load onto JonsJava, which made him leave in protest of the Admin doing that without talking to him.

      I had the exact same thought. If you could really be banned for saying that ISRAEL is a scourge on the planet earth for starving an entire population of innocent people, I’d rather not be on .world anyway.

        it really is impressive (and terrifying, if i’m being honest) just how…extensive and all encompassing this Israeli/AIPAC propaganda is.

        like…it’s so bad that I don’t even feel comfortable thinking on it too much, because what if I’m falling into some antisemitic rabbithole that blames the jews for everything? the start of some alt-right pipeline?

        but then it’s undeniable, that there is a concerted effort to suppress any and all information about israel’s atrocities across the western world, with plenty of jews in positions of power essentially sanctioning it.

          When you make the distinction that there are more christian zionists than Jewish ones calling out their bullshit cant be considered antisemitic

            There is a person on Lemmy who is a mod and has many alts. Let’s call them SmugJesus. They will definitely call you antisemitic if you talk negatively about Zionism and the Israel lobby.

          I’d add that it is not only Jews doing it, and a lot of Jews you will meet are not complicit. In fact, they are most likely being marginalised by their own communities.

          Also, it’s not a conspiracy theory, it’s a publicly admitted Israeli effort, look up hasbara on Wikipedia.

          So you’re denying your own obvious observations because you disagree with some of the other people that hold those thoughts?

            consider me recently (re)awakened, also i don’t entirely trust my own memories/experience if I’m being entirely honest.

            i’v done some psychedelics in the past and know how fragile (fluid?) the human mind/pysche can be

            also I’m kind of like a dog that was never socialized properly, so just in general things are new to me

        Some communities have weird stances on where they draw the line. To some extent, I have sympathy, because it can be quite easy for a discussion to devolve into shit slinging that involves surprise Zionists popping up, and often legitimate antisemitism ends up appearing if mods aren’t able to stay on top of things (by “legitimate antisemitism”, I mostly mean stuff that indirectly conflates Israel with Jewish people by using antisemitic rhetoric to attack Israel). Some communities may have fewer mods, or a culture that leads to discussions becoming toxic sooner.

        This community is a good counter example to the culture problem. There’s been a lot of harshly worded comments against Israel in this thread (reasonably so), but I haven’t seen anything that falls into the trap I describe above, but that’s no doubt a credit both to the culture of this place, and the efforts of the mods here

        Huge miss. I wasn’t saying it as a form of defence, I was saying it as a sideswipe at people like you who wilfully interpret criticism of a country’s actions as bigotry.

          I don’t consider your statement bigotry. I am just annoyed by people hedging.
