Calling Nettanyahu a fascist and warcriminal apparently is zionism? Also I have never done anything in that community

I have never posted, commented or did anything else in this community and only found out when I wanted to make a post about the GNU Taler in Switzerland.

I have been a vocal critic of Israeli Warcrimes and Nettanyahus authoritarianism, calling him a potential Fascist. But I guess that wasn't Anti-Israel enough and therefore Zionism.

I guess this is a modern-day example of "the revolution devours its own children".

Checking your comment history, you seemed to conflate anti Zionism with anti Semitism, and accused @FelixCress@lemmy.world of being an antisemite. I'm going with YDI.
This is what I could tell from the comments though. If I'm wrong do correct me.
- You are not wrong. He appears to be one of genocide apologists.
  Edit: Funnily enough, I don't even consider myself "anti Zionist", although Israeli supporters may think about me this way since I support one state with equal rights for all residents and right to return for all Palestinian refugees and their descendants.
  But more importantly, I am just opposed to genocide and nazi scum. I guess this is enough to be labelled these days.

  This is anti-zionism. You should consider yourself an anti-zionist. It's actually a good thing to oppose fascism. No need to quibble about it.
- Feddit.Org drama triggered some people ever since then we have been getting this limp dick shill op.
- I tend to be careful to not call a person antisemitic, which leads to more confrontation and toxicity from my experience, but to instead explain to them why their actions are antisemitic. The same here.
  I went back to look at the Discussion and in this case this particular user told me that "Jews" were the "Nationality" of Israel. I told them why this was antisemitism, told them why (mixing Judaism the Religion with Israel the state) and asked them to stop this.
  I honestly don't think I did anything wrong there. I didn't call them antisemitic and instead calmly explained to them why their statements were antisemitic. I blocked them instead of letting the discussion get out of control when it became clear they would continue even after my explanation why it was antisemitic.
  No name-calling, calm explanation and disengagement instead of escalation.
- LMAO. Didn't like me calling you out so you try to impersonate me? God, you're even more pathetic than I thought!
  
  Another sockpuppet.

That you?:

I'd bet money on it being due to your support of this user who was banned for alleged zionism
- I believe this was partially responsible but not the whole story
- Wait, so I was banned for disagreeing with a moderator?
  That's almost worse and even more powertripping, wtf?
  
  Idk, it makes sense to me that if they feel that other user is a Zionist and banned them for Zionism, then they would also want to ban you for agreeing with that user because, in their eyes, that'd be pretty clear cut Zionist apologia
  
  I don't think its necessarily because you disagreed with them. They likely have rules or policies of some kind against it and banned said user for a reason. You trying to defend a user that they had banned, does it not sound like you are either apart of that or atleast preventing the fires form being put out after they had banned the user. You are conflicting with a moderation decision against a user that they likely deemed violated some of their rules.

- I'm not sure we should call them antisemitic. It feels like the lefts' equivalent of DEI. They're just kind of slipping into it.
  And we all know what calling Anti-DEI people (lite-racists) racists led to. Polarisation and Donald Trump.
  I think instead of shaming them, we should talk to them and calmy and kindly explain why certain talking points are antisemitic and why they shouldn't use them.
  If that makes sense?

- Lol another obvious shell account- this is ridiculous
  
  Y'know, I almost respected Antiyanks for their sheer dedication. At least they spaced out their alt accounts and tried to be creative with their usernames. This right here is just sad in comparison. So much time wasted making accounts with lazy "offensive" usernames (that are hardly offensive on today's internet, it's not 2009 anymore) that just get banned in two keystrokes. Takes less time for them to be banned than it takes them to make accounts! LMAO.
  
  yeah, my post has definitely been ... let's say "polarizing".
  Though the mods are pretty fast, which I really appreciate, given that they're only 2 and doing unpaid and probably very very ungrateful work.
- oh sure and i bet youll say banning anyone for calling out my antisemitism make me a nazi whore too WHERE DOES IT END
  
  ptb you are truly the most discriminated against minority chad
  my condolences
- Another sockpuppet
