I see no reason to move instances as it is absolutely allowed to discuss what is happening in Gaza and Israel here (in so far as there is a direct relation to Europe). The restrictions are basically that two wrongs don't make a right (or many more wrongs in this case), and it is a bit sad that we were forced to explicitly spell it out to make people aware that any genocide is wrong, not only the one that is currently happening.

Where did I say posts about the middle-east are not allowed here if they are in relation to Europe? They are allowed and we do not remove them as off-topic.

But this topic is only a very minor topic for this community which is primarily about EU domestic news and such topics, so when creating this community there was absolutly no reason to avoid feddit.org as the hosting instance over legal concerns specifically related to the state of Israel.

Criticism of it is explicitly allowed as by the above mentioned rules 🙄

If this was a community specifically about the middle-east I would agree with you that it would have been unwise to host it on feddit.org due to the legal situation affecting its admins and some of the moderators here.

But it is not, and generally speaking Germany is not an autocratic state with severe repression of political activism, so for most topics it is a better place to host communities that might involve such.

By the same contrived logic you are pro-genocide as calling for the destruction of the Israeli state in an online forum also doesn't stop the genocide.

And anyways, by your logic if the only response to one genocide is another genocide, then yes that is also pro-genocide.

See how pointless such arguments are?

How does this muzzle any anti-zionist voices that are not calling for yet another genocide? If you think that are the only anti-zionist voices worth listening to then yes that is antisemitic.

No one of the moderation team or the feddit.org admins are defending the actions of the Israeli government in any shape or form.

I am not making the German classifications of such organisations.

As for the rest of your comment, lots of half-truths that don't change the fact that Hamas and Hezbollah are organisations with a terrible human rights track-record.

It would be great if you could also support that with some credible sources instead of just saying so to fish for responses, aka trolling.

Fascism isn't exclusive to the historical Nazis. The rule is about relativism in regards to the crimes of the historical Nazis, and especially the holocaust.

Parts of the current Israeli government are obviously fascist, but calling all Israelis fascists would be against the general rules of this community.

The IDF is not a recognized terrorist organization in Germany. As long as what people write about the IDF is factually correct and not blatant propaganda or misinformation (which is generally against the rules of this community) that is not banned obviously. Nor is it banned to write factually correct information about Hamas and Hezbollah obviously.

No, if your boss has to tell you that it is a reminder that you should treat everyone equal and despite knowing that you dislike Americans you still need to treat them the same.
