Thing is, that comment isn't Zionism. It was pretty mild and was basically just a call out of the hypocrisy of responding to evil by doing the exact same evil. It's perfectly reasonable moral stance, and you're free to agree or not - but it's poor form and will ruin Lemmy to ban discussion which is only pointing out the evil of genocide regardless of who does it. You can and should call out Isreal's evil. But I don't think we want to become the evil in the same way that some Jews persecuted by Nazis have now become the same evil. And of course context, and history of comments matter - but your knee jerk reaction was seemingly not about context or history, but simply not liking any discussion that doesn't fit your perspective 100%. And that's poor form - the whole point of Lemmy is for discussion, not a bunch of people blindly agreeing with each other. Now I'll probably get banned for saying all this, sigh.
