Lemmy.world reportedly bans people for being anti-Zionist. At the same time, numerous human rights organizations have documented that Zionist policies and actions amount to crimes against humanity (e.g., forced displacement, collective punishment, apartheid).

If banning opposition to crimes against humanity is itself anti-humanity, doesn’t that make lemmy.world complicit? How do you reconcile defending a platform that silences critics while atrocities continue?

    Sadly Zionism always assumed the displacement of other people, so that some could build their paradise, it also gave up on the idea of building paradise together with other people, rather then a walled garden just for a single people. It’s a fundamentally conservative ideology that assumes that the basic principles of the enlightenment that all people are equal, and that people have the ability to change are false. Read Judenstaat by Herzl I found it to be a very cynical take on things and I couldn’t finish it.
