    Oh, talking about politics on lemmy is fine.

    Pounding the political pulpit beyond the bare minimum necessary on this community is where it goes wrong.

    And yes, actually, moderators absolutely get to decide what is and isn’t appropriate content for their community. That’s what a moderator is, the person or persons that curate a community.

    And, yet a-fucking-gain, as I’ve already said, I’m not getting into debate about the subject itself here. I’m also not wasting my time with some random YouTube video as a proxy to that

      You said that comments denying the right of Israel to exist should be removed. This cannot be followed up by refusing to elaborate. If there is anything wrong or racist about saying an Apartheid should not exist then you are welcome to back it up with claims.

      I am of the opposite opinion that anyone who believes Israel has the right to exist is racist.

      And yes, actually, moderators absolutely get to decide what is and isn’t appropriate content for their community. That’s what a moderator is, the person or persons that curate a community.

      With all the complains about “.ml censorship” I would not expect this kind of arguments here. LW moderators having the power to censor for Israel does not mean they are not in the wrong for doing it.

        No, I said your comment should be removed because it’s a common antisemitic dog whistle

          I was hoping you would have something more than “criticism of Israel is antisemitic” but I am not surprised and understand why you wanted to avoid the argument.

          Have a good day.

            Look, just because you haven’t bothered to learn what a dog whistle is in this context doesn’t mean it isn’t the case

                Really? You’re running around repeating known dog whistles, and now you want to argue that pointing out dog whistles are propaganda?

                Nah, at this point, you’ve down exactly who you are

                  Calling criticism of Israel a dogwhistle is known Zionist propaganda.

                  You are making it painfully obvious what your beliefs are but it is clear you dare not speak your mind.

      So why are you still typing?
