Is lemmy.world anti-humanity for banning anti-Zionists? (piefed.zip)

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?

I have high doubts that Lemmy.world bans people specifically for being anti Zionist.

Context and number of incidents of ban is required.

Obligatory 'Israel is a piece of shit country.'

I was banned there for saying Ukraine is just a meat grinder for the rich

Literally banned me for calling Kaplan a Zionist.

And then they unbanned me, unprompted.

Your doubts are unfounded.

Maybe I'm missing something, but that post just has a ton of claims and no screenshots or links to what it's talking about.
