I don’t think this post is anti semitic or promoting a hateful ideology, it is me expressing a known fact that Israel and its lobby groups heavily lobbying the US. Simple as that.
My account was just suspended, I highly recommend anyone who has this viewpoint to simply not express it here. The fediverse and Mastodon and Lemmy are all a sham.
Really disappointed to be honest. I was hoping I could post my opinion and not have the left wing brigade show up to censor me or “educate” me. Fuck censorship and fuck Israel.
UPDATED: net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED when I try to appeal on mstdn.ca…lol talk about spiteful. Must be a Montreal server. Big Jewish population in Montreal. Makes sense…added their API to my blokada Blocklist.
The idea that Israeli lobbyists are singlehandedly “paying off the US’ debt” is so patently absurd that I can easily see someone interpreting it as anti-semetic. Criticizing pro-Israel lobbyists is one thing, but when you start implying that Israeli lobbyists literally control the US government, I think you’re stepping into clearly anti-semetic territory.
That alongside the wink-wink nudge-nudge “we all know who it is” comment really pushes this post over the edge. You’re clearly parroting anti-semetic tropes, intentional or not.
Not single-handedly, but they are enormous trading partners and lobby the US in the billions, that’s not far-fetched. B’nai Brith is a perfect example. I have Jewish friends that can discuss this issue more rationally than you, Zionist goof B’nai Brith even sues rabbis for being critical of Palestinians rights and IDF conduct:

Well, that nuance is not present in your original post. Criticism of Israel and Israeli lobbying groups is perfectly fine, so long as you’re specific in your criticisms and you avoid hyperbole and generalizations.
Your original phrasing is ambiguous and hyperbolic in a way that you could easily be referring to EITHER specific issues with certain Israeli lobbyist groups OR broad conspiracies about Jewish control of the US government. This same ambiguity is regularly used by anti-semites to disguise anti-semetic rhetoric as good faith criticism of the Israeli government.
You may have had the best of intentions, but this post reads like Nazi concern-trolling, and I’m not surprised that it got censored.
The groyper pfp may not be helping either.
Oh, absolutely. I was gonna mention that, but I knew he’d just whine about people judging him for his profile pic instead of his words or something like that.
Ugh. On irc I was NEVER banned and could speak freely. Fediverse is an imposter of a platform. Social media is a cancer and I’m tired of the left wing rainbow/Zionist concern troll brigades.
