Rule 1 and Zionism

Rule one of this sub lays out several red lines. It says:

"If you are trying to justify atrocities or support authoritarianism or colonialism, this community is not for you."

It follows from this that no one is welcome here who seeks to excuse or justify the ongoing colonial project of Israeli expansion, the genocide Israel has conducted in Gaza (according to amnesty, Human Rights Watch and many other credible rights watch dogs), or (though this is less common) the authoritarianism of the unelected Fatah dictatorship that oppresses it's fellow Palestinians in the west bank.

This doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to criticize the crimes of Israel enemies, like Hamas. But you can't say that it justifies atrocities by Israel.

It seems obvious to me that world federalists should support the arrest warrants issued for both Hamas and Israeli leaders by the International Criminal Court, and be energetically putting forth the case that world federalism can prevent tit-for-tat escalations of violence between nations, ethnic groups, and religions.

I am calling on members of this sub and the mods to live up to the moral standard they have articulated.
