I was just banned for a comment that was critical of kamala Harris, critical of Hamas, pro Palestinian civilians who are suffering genocide from the Israeli government
“Rule 1” and I didn’t even use a slur or anything.
Quotes incoming, have to copy paste
Can you clarify?
I’m guessing suggesting hamas is a terrorist organization is the thing? Is it a false statement?
My understanding is they use violence and intimidation to further political goals, but are they themselves not a standing state with a military.
I think I made my position clear that I do not support Israel, as they are committing genocide, but I guess someone could assume Hamas IS Palestine? It’s my understanding that’s not the case, instead that they are IN Palestine among the innocent civilians.
(Not arguing with you, just discussing. If you have counterpoints I’m ready to hear them)
I get what you are asking and I am going to avoid the specific topic you were discussing (as much as I can) in the interest of objectivity.
ml tends to be a safe-space for some people who have wildly different opinions than what “many people” tend to believe is true. It automatically sets up a comment that would be “normal” on this instance as “hostile” on another.
Some countries do have diplomatic ties with Hamas and do not consider them a terrorist organization. If I had to guess, that is the reason for the underlying issue. If a person happens to relate with that viewpoint, any comment to the contrary may be considered hostile.
This sounds trite, but the phrase “Read the room” might apply.
Totally. The mod in particular is pretty aggressive so I’m not surprised really. I figured I covered myself by pointing out Israel is indeed commiting genocide but alas.
Have a good one.
