Conflating zionist state of israel with the jewish people is anti-semitism. Israel does not represent all jewish people worldwide.

This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
Posting Guidelines
All posts should follow this basic structure:
- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
- Don’t use private communications to prove your point. We can’t verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don’t deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don’t harass mods or brigade comms. Don’t word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
- You can post about power trippin’ in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
- If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
Some acronyms you might see.
- PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
- YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
- BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
- CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn't understand how their software works.

Zionists occupying Gaza is itself anti-semitic, as the occupied residents are mostly semitic peoples. And there is absolutely a racial component.
I agree. How do we get the world to recognize that fact?
Genuinely asking, because seeing the Australian government bow to Zionist pigs over this is really tiring me out.
.world is a festering mess of liberalism, you say?
Colour me surprised.
The place that banned all criticism of Biden/Harris and then wondered where all the critics went, justifying their bad beliefs that all of them were bots? Yeah I wonder why its a shitlib utopia.
I don’t actually recall the .world mods or admins themselves calling people bots, and I’ve recently seen them removing comments containing bot accusations.
The admins don't, but a lot of the userbase used to (and still does) calls anyone who mildly criticized Harris as a secret Russian asset/bot, or a useful idiot who bought into the campaign.
When Biden was bad at the debate and I said "Man he looks so unfit for this" I was called a russian bot. I reported the comments and nothing got removed or banned.
And I recently got banned from !politicalmemes@lemmy.world because I defended myself from a moronic shitlib troll. The troll didn't get banned, I did.
I can sort of see how they got there, but I don't think any nation has the right to exist. I'm sure if you swapped it with any other nation they wouldn't remove it.
PTB from flat.world as usual.
Ethno-states run by power-tripping pigs have no right to exist.
PTB. .world's stances continue to be completely indistinguishable from State Department propaganda. I guess it was only a matter of time until the mods started cracking down on anti-Zionism. Fully expect to see them ban someone for promoting BDS next.
Would be hillarious if they put an anti-BDS clause in the .world terms of service.
Honestly, they should just make users recite the Pledge of Allegiance to sign up.
I mean... it's an illegitimate state after all.
I left .world a while ago, I didn't leave Reddit to put up with the same bullshit on Lemmy
PTB*.
That said you're biting obvious bait - a good chunk of those discussions boil down to ambiguous words referring to both actual human beings and states/governments, to defend the later as if it was an attack on the former.
*LATER EDIT: upon the mod reinstating the comment, I'm changing my judgment to CLM.
And it's worth noting the judgment only applies to the comment shown in the original post - since the user in question is clearly eager to lie in order to accuse others, and their behaviour borders concern trolling.
Yes, people called Israel exist.
But from the thread the comment was placed in, it should be clear I was talking about the apartheid colonizing Palestine. Not a persons right to existence
It was clear for me, too. However, a lot of people struggle to tell apart two things when you use the same word to refer to them, and that's one of those cases.
My suggestion in this regard is to always use "state of Israel" instead. You'll still get some bans, but it becomes harder for supporters of the genocidal state to claim "no, ur teh 1 defending genoside".
This would require acknowledging Israel as a state, which it is not.
Nobody uses the term "state of Israel to refer to it. Demonstrated by the title of the posted article "Israel announces expansion...". Not a single person raises the question if this means a person called "Israel" is planning to become so obese that they occlude the Gaza strip.
The word "Israel" suffices and the .World moderators know perfectly well what is means. There is no ambiguity to hide behind.

I mean ... That statement itself isn't just anti-zionist. You literally say a whole group of people should not exist. It's only not technically racist because it's a religious slant, not a racial one. It's still hateful.
I am pro-Palestinian, too. That doesn't mean I think all Israelis should die.
Israel is a terrorist organization not a group of people.
My statement is the literal definition of anti-Zionism.
That's completely ridiculous. How the hell do you get from "Israel doesn't have a right to exist" to "all Israelis should die?" Israel is a state, saying it doesn't have a right to exist is opposing the state, the same way if I said "Nazi Germany doesn't have a right to exist" I'm not calling for everyone in Nazi Germany to be put to death, I'm calling for the elimination of the state.
Well that’s great, but they didn’t say Israelis should die either, so I dunno why you’re claiming they did.
Nowhere does it say all Israelis should die, it says the nation doesn't have a right to exist.
Those are two different ideas. Like how Israel says Palestine doesn't exist, and also commit genocide to its people. There are nations that don't think Palestine exists and don't do that. Same for Israel.
That’s a pretty anti-semitic comment
Conflating the actions of Israel with Jews is what’s anti-Semitic. The question I have, is why you hate Jews enough to blame them for what Israel is doing.
If u want a news community without power tripping mods I run !news_summary@hilariouschaos.com
Isn't that an actual nazi instance?
Yeah, it's the new exploding heads.
