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?

    You can try to do mental acrobatics all you want but actually existing zionism is mutually exclusive with anti-genocide and all of that you mentioned.

      Etymology = mental acrobatics ?

      Of course the “actually existing zionism”, the thing that gets called zionism, is as you describe. But we’re still being catch22’d by the perverted language trap.
