You're not the first one mentioning this, I guess it happens on news communities?

Nah, it generally happens anywhere that intentionally bans Marxists and other leftists. You start to see right wing views become normalized and not as actively fought against. Being rabidly anticommunist invites Zionists and other fascists.

Yes the news mods are also liberal Zionists. Any lie or insult for israel goes, but when it comes to accusations they get real stingy.

I got banned from both news and worldnews by a Zionist mod.

And the best part is that they then whine about censorship on .ml

Zionism

Zionism[a] is an ethno-cultural nationalist[1][fn 1] movement that emerged in Europe in the late 19th century and aimed for the establishment of a Jewish state through the colonization of a land outside of Europe.[4][5][6][7] It eventually focused on the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine,[8][9][10][11] a region corresponding to the Land of Israel in Judaism,[12][13][14][15] and of central importance in Jewish history. Following the establishment of the State of Israel

And which mods are zionists? Do you call them zionists solely because they banned you, or is there perhaps other reasons?

FlyingSquid is a Zionist. He spreads lies about resistance groups fighting against the Genocide committed by israel and bans users debunking his lies.

As for the News mods they banned me for debunking now confirmed Zionist lies about rape but did so anonymously.

Confirmed zionist lies

Could you provide more context?

[–] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Israel made up a lie that Hamas raped people on oct7 to manufacture consent for their Genocide. .world banned anyone questioning it.

The UN recently confirmed there is no evidence of rape on oct7 in their report on war crimes committed by both sides.
