This is so stupid, I should probably just walk away, but I think I've been permabanned, so it's worth a try.
The context is a thread titled "Israeli minister says Israel has created and owns the European far right parties". It consists of a screenshot of a tweet auto-translated from french about an Israeli minister talking about building a network of relationships with European far right parties.

Which mod was PTB: @MysticMushroom1776@lemmy.dbzer0.com
-
What sanction was imposed: comments removed (whatever), ban from the community !europe@lemmy.dbzer0.com
-
Screenshot of the modlog entry, attached.

The context of the posts that were originally removed is basically:
- a factual post that OP's title does not follow from the content. The tweet talks about Israel helping build the European far right alliance, not "creating" and "owning" the European far right.
- In response to another user pushing back, I think we got a bit of a misunderstanding with the meaning of the word "conspiracy", with me taking the word literally and arguing that the framing of "conspiracy" is basically an antisemitic trope harkening to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. There is a bit of (I think respectful) back and forth, which I think basically would have been resolved in a couple more turns.
- The mod intervenes and removes my posts without banning me yet. The mod accuses me of "dismissing anti-Zionism as antisemitic conspiracies", "parroting pro-Zionist rhetoric" and "apologia" and "accusations of antisemitism".
- I respond to the mod, underneath and that gets me banned. I don't seem to have access to the post that triggered the ban, it does not appear in the modlog, but after the mod removed a 3 posts with the accusation of trolling, bad faith, zionist apologia and zionist rhetoric, I basically said "you misunderstood me, but I'm not going to "try to play chess with a pigeon", just FYI I was not trolling, I was arguing in good faith and I was trying to say that we don't need employ harmful antisemitic tropes in antizionist rhetoric". I guess the most offensive thing I said was the pigeon-playing-chess, thing.
- That gets me banned as a "bad faith zionist troll", with a nice little final message "Sayonara you worthless Zionist apologist." Power tripping much?
- Why I think that's unfair, and what I would ask as remedy:
Read my freaking posts. I am not doing zionist apologia. I'm not pushing zionist rhetoric. I am not trolling, and I'm engaging in good faith. I'm repeatedly referring to Israel as the "genocidal Israeli apartheid regime".
What I am doing is pointing out that the conspiratorial framing is unnecessary and harmful. I am not conflating antizionism with antisemitism, I quite specifically say so. What I am saying is that "there exist antisemitic ways of doing antizionist politics", which, I don't know man, I think it's ...pretty obvious? My strongest claim is in the longer of my removed comments:
it is possible to do anti-Zionist politics in an anti-Semitic way. Let's not fucking do that. Let's instead do anti-Zionist politics in an anti-fascist way.
This is basic shit, no? In what fucking way is saying "let's do anti-Zionist politics in an anti-fascist way" even remotely "zionist apologia"?! I mean, come on.
In terms of the substance of my disagreement in the discussion that was interrupted, I honestly think that it was a misunderstanding about the word "conspiracy" that would have been resolved in a couple of turns. In my view, the Israeli regime is publicly organizing the European fascists, so there is no "conspiracy", it's literally in the open. The conspiratorial framing only hurts the antizionist attack, because of its antisemitic roots. Before the mod intervened to gut the discussion, I was trying to clarify the language of "conspiracy" with the other user.
To summarize: I think the mod jumped the gun, being triggered by the word "antisemitism". Yes, the Israeli propaganda machine uses the accusation of antisemitism as chaff, but that doesn't mean we need to turn off our own critical thinking. We can freaking do better than give actual pro-Israeli apologists hooks to accuse the antizionist movement of antisemitism.
As a remedy, just lift the ban, for fuck's sake.
EDIT: I'm unsure how the notifications work, but for full transparency, I have just sent the mod this DM, to let zir know that I started this thread:
If it is bad etiquette to send such a heads up via DM, I apologize and take responsibility.
EDIT2: Seems like some trolls and sock puppets have been brigading the thread and posting zionist shit and unacceptable language directed at the mod. I also see the mod locked the original thread due to some of those sock puppets spilling over to there. That's all just shitty and toxic for any kind of nuanced discussion in our communities, as well as any kind of reasonable resolution to this mess. So stupid. I never meant this to spawn a freaking harassment campaign, this is so frustrating. Boo.
As i replied to you before, the strong binding between Judaism, Jewish genealogy and Israel makes it very hard to not trip anyones "antisemitism" detector when accusing Israel of fucking with european politics.
There is no strong bidding, it is bullshit. like explained in my other comment.
When one group encompasses all of the country which is "the land of the jews", then - regardless of outliers - this is a very strong semantic binding.
If you have a subgroup consisting of 95% of all available individuals of a group, you cannot make the remaining 5% the defining population.
If the article was about Iran, would you be as critical of the headline and saying it's islamaphobia?
There is by far no such strong binding between Islam and the Iranian populace that i would be able to make that claim. There are many Islamic countries, and while many of them are lagging behind in acknowledging and protecting human rights, they are a very heterogenous group. The headline would then focus on the country of "whatever islamic country", and not towards "Muslims in general". There is only ONE jewish country that also claims to be the home and cradle of all jews.
So when you read Israel, you read "Jews in general". That's verbatim for "any critic towards Israel is antisemitism". It's zionist propoganda, it forces everyone to walk on eggshells around them.
Israel isn't anything more than an apartheid country and the cradle of genocide. They don't represent the global Jewish community. A highly likely accusation when it has nothing to do with their nations main faith isn't antisemitism. No one except you is saying this is a "Jewish conspiracy".
No, i read "Jews in Israel", who is about 98% congruent with "Zionists in Israel". They are the only relevant group when looking at it on a global scale, and meddling in other countries internal politics deserves only the global view.
Muslims have not been persecuted anywhere near as much as the Jewish people have. The fact that you compare them to our suffering is in and of itself antisemitic
You creating a new account every week and having an outburst on this comm is one of the funniest Lemmy drama type things to see. You are basically a child having a tantrum. It brings a smile to my face, knowing you spend a solid hour or two just typing away, your face all scrunched up.
I'm not certain what acting like a tool is supposed to get you, your insults are usually childish and don't even hit anywhere close to hard.
Don't talk to me, scum
It is not the land of jews , no group of people can claim eternal right to a region because humanity started in a single location then human was regularly moving from places to places. It is the land of the citizens that lives in a region, Israelis has the right to Israel including Muslims Israelis , Palestinians has the right to Palestine . It is with the bullshit of the land of jews that Israel never ceased to steal more land and ethnically cleansing Palestinians.
I agree! But that sadly doesn't change how the Zionist twisted history and the minds of a large majority of Jews. Palestinians deserve their own state, just like the Kurds deserve their own state. Both are getting fucked over by stronger powers - Zionists on the one side, Turks on the other. There are a lot of people out there (Roma/Sinti in Europe, or natives in the US and Australia, or groups like the Uighurs in China) that deserve their own spot, but the established powers would rather cut off their right hand than give them an inch.
And the same principle is applied internally - the Zionists start with propagandizing the jewish population, and the minority that does not accept the program are ostracized and brutalized as a lesson to anyone who would dare to defy them.
That is what i mean with "you cannot cleanly separate Zionism/Judaism/Jews from one another". Zionism propagandizes Jews to believe in Zionism, and they are all bound by the same religion that is weaponized against the populace to make sure they support the Zionists. Anyone who doesn't go with the program gets fucked over until they cannot put up resistance anymore. Ergo: Whatever the Zionists say Judaism and being a Jew is, is reality for the vast majority of Jews.
Israel absolutely is the land of the Jews and we have a right to a homeland just as any other people on Earth do! Stop trying to take that away from us you Nazi cunt!
You have no right to colonize the west bank, you have no right to ethnic cleansing . Illan pepe is Israeli he believe in a one state with your dumb zionazi logic you would call him an antisemite.
We have every right to the ancestral home of our people.
You have no right to colonize the west bank palestinian land
It was our land before it was theirs.
Thank you for exposing your self you want to exterminate Palestinians because you believe the west bank and gaza belong to you. There was group of people living before the israelites ever existed. The Palestinians like the jews are descendent of the Canaanites yet you want palestinians all out .
In his book The Land of Israel in the Past and Present Ben gurion said : the local Palestinian agricultural workers (the Fellahin) were actually the direct descendants of the ancient Jewish and Samaritan farmers who had remained on the land after the Roman expulsions.
Regardless of history, our people came from there and were pushed out. It is our land to claim from these settlers who settled there doesn't matter how long ago. It is our right to remove them from our homeland.
Palestinians came from there to. You have no right to genocide palestinians
They came afterwards
Ben gurion himself disagree with you
In his book The Land of Israel in the Past and Present Ben gurion said : the local Palestinian agricultural workers (the Fellahin) were actually the direct descendants of the ancient Jewish and Samaritan farmers who had remained on the land after the Roman expulsions.
It is antisemitic to claim that the Muslims who live in Palestine after forcing us Jews out are Jewish themsleves. You are a disgusting pig. I hope you burn in hell you antisemitic cunt. How dare you imply that Muslims who aren't and never have been Jews are Jews. Suck my cock you stupid shaved Nazi ass!
Muslims did not force you out idiot. It was the roman
I hope they send you to gaza so the idf terrorist blow your fucking head zionazi
Putting down Israel is antisemitic! Saying Israel shouldn't exist is antisemitic and genocidal! Jewish people deserve a safe place in the world as the most persecuted race on earth. Fuck you if you disagree!
Nobody here is saying Israel should be physically destroyed and all Israelis expulsed for the land.. Jews being persecuted do not mean Zionists can go to an inhabited region ,ethnically cleansing the land to create a state then continue till this day stealing more land in the west bank.
Saying that Israel shouldn't exist is saying the Jews should be left out on their ass at the mercy of the world! You might as well be saying they should be destroyed!
Israel today exists so yeah it should not be destroyed, we can't expulse israelis from the land. Countries can peacefully unite though , it is not antisemitic to believe in a one state solution with Israelis and Palestinians live together. But if you think zionists had the right to ethnically cleansing Palestinians in 48 you are the lowest of the lowest scum and and you would be yourself a zionazi
Destroying Israel through politics is the same as destroying it outright!
Fuck off. Israel killed the two state solution by building colonies in the west bank for decades. Which do you prefer 750k israelis in west bank displaced to israel and 2 millions israeli arab displaced to palestine or israelis and palesnians living together in the land which eqaul right?
I would prefer that my people have a country to themselves where we can be safe from antisemitic assholes like yourself who try to strip our protections away.
The antisemitic asshole is you piece of trash. Funny how for you Palestinians and Israelis living together with equal right is antisemite. You defend settler colonialism, ethnic cleansing and genocide
I'm Jewish you dumb Nazi cunt!
You are zionazi cunt who defend settler colonialism and genocide. Fuck you . Me a person who support Palestinians Israelis living together with equal right is being a nazi?
Continuing to prove you are an antisemitic cunt. I would bet money that you are @MysticMushroom1776@lemmy.dbzer0.com's alt at this point...
You support genocide of Palestinians like nazis supported the genocide of jews . You are a zionazi . Zionists killed 17 jews in the bombing of king david hotel, killed 267 jews in SS patria , assassinated antizionist jew Jacob israel de haan. That's the nazi like ideology you support. Fuck you cunt Is Ilan Pappé also a nazi and anrtisemite? He support a one state solution
We as a people have the right to defend ourselves against Terrorism, if you disagree and call that genocide, you are antisemitic.
Why do you support an genocidal terrorist state called israel built by terrorists who killed jews in the SS Patria , the king david hotel and many other events ?
Sometimes war has casualties. The difference between IDF war casualties and Hamas bombing our buildings is that Hamas is trying to kill Jews, and the IDF is trying to stop Hamas by any means necessary.
Fuck you bitch . 83% of the killed was civilians . Netanyahu already said that Palestinians are amalek meaning they support killing everybody including infants https://www.972mag.com/israeli-intelligence-database-83-percent-civilians-militants/
I would gladly give my life to save our people. If I wasn't rejected I would join the IDF and fight for our freedom from oppression!
You are gladly wanting to give your life to genocide palestinians
Fixed it for you.
You are protecting yourself from the people you colonized and ethnically cleansed 3 times ?
Fixed it for you again. Yes we indeed are.
How is hitting a women in olive field is defending yourself, how uprooting olive trees from the west bank is defending yoursel . How killing infants is defending your self?
