New Lemmy Drama: "Feddit.org officially announces they will ban criticism of Israel and pro-Palestinian posts and comments."

I find this morally reprehensible. I have always spoken against defederazation when others have mentioned it. This is too much. Apologies if this upsets anyone.

Palestinians are human beings and have a right to life.

Edit: I have been persuaded by some thoughtful replies. I will block them from my view. I no longer support making the decision for others. Thanks all.

Adi Callai does a great job explaining the PA and counter insurgency here in his video about The Gaza Ghetto Uprising, but the entire video and many others on his channel are well worth the watch

I also have a bunch of quoted articles about how the PA works under Israel to crack down on resistance in this comment

Reading Franz Fanon, Adi Callai has a video on him as well, really opened my understanding about the violence of resistance groups. Not that it justifies or trivializes those actions against civilians, that is of course unacceptable, but Fanon gives the context of the oppressed that me and many westerners cannot comprehend. Context about the unrelenting violence of the oppressors, of being against a far militarily superior force set on supremacy, of how armed struggle evolves as the oppression expands in scope and cruelty.
