Yeah I wasn't advocating for federating with them, just pointing out that it's that instance, not beehaw, that keeps us from seeing that part of the thread entirely. Honestly I think lemm.ee and lemmy.ml are providing a plentiful supply of libs to dunk on as it is, no need to add a bunch more (in retrospect we owe the dot world admins some gratitude lol)

Yeah I don't appreciate being made to agree with an admin of Beehaw--it leaves a bad taste in my mouth--but there is absolutely no good reason to link to Nazi shit on join-lemmy, full stop.

Yeah but the top-level comment is from someone at slrpnk.net; if that instance federated, we wouldn't see the beehaw admin arguing (rightly) in favor of dropping the nazis from join-lemmy, but we'd still see Nutomic's response to the top-level comment and could call him a lib there.

I think that user is on an instance that doesn't federate with us :( You'll have to make an account over on lemmy.ml, I'm afraid.

Go into the thread, find a comment by someone from Hexbear, and click the little colorful icon next to their comment--that brings up that comment on Hexbear, from which you can get to the full thread.

So in other words, one has to exclude significant, heavily populated areas that are being governed by the state of Israel in order to claim that it's a democracy. It is deeply unclear why one would want to do so, though, given that the same government has given its full endorsement to settlers moving into these same areas, and has given absolutely no indication (in recent decades, at least) of ever intending to vacate these territories.

Maybe if you only count citizens, but there's a large oppressed population called Palestinians, maybe you've heard of them?

According to Soffer, there are 7.45 million Jews and others along with 7.53 million Arab Israelis and Palestinians living in what he termed the Land of Israel, meaning Israel plus the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Yep, very clear demonstration of the fact that Israel is an apartheid state, given that it is indeed run by Jewish people despite the fact that Jewish people are a minority of the people living there.

It's freeze-peach

From the LW admin:

Honestly those ultra right-wingers are pretty bad but the ultra left-wingers are worse.

basically it’s like if your friend likes a movie you don’t like, and you go out of your way to destroy the joy they have

Yes, to pick a random example out of nowhere, if your friend really liked, say, Zootopia...
