@[email protected] is banning people on lemmy.world’s largest communities for saying that Israel is like the 51st US state. He’s declaring that this is “misinformation”

That Israel exists as a de-facto US state is a fairly non-controversial statement in Israel. But on lemmy.world’s largest communities, where mods are working to distance certain US politicians from the war, it’s now misinformation.

    In polite society it is a controversial statement to call another sovereign country a US state. If you if you don’t understand why then maybe you should look inward toward your biases, or maybe understand what it actually means to be a US state. Nice hot take though.

      Are you saying Israel is an impolite society? I’m not disagreeing, just want to make that clear.
