Stewart was filmed last year telling a Bahraini dissident who was imprisoned and tortured for his human rights activism in the country to ‘go back to Bahrain’.
I took a 2 month ban from worldnews@lemmy.ml
There was no message to say a ban had been applied. I messaged a mod to say I had trouble posting and asked if there was a ban applied. I got no response.
I eventually spotted there is a modlog, and low and behold it mentions I was banned for 2 months for antisemitism. I have to say I found this appalling.
When I dug further it turns out that I gave a reply to someone asking why the phrase "from the river to the sea" is considered antisemitic. I replied that is considered as referring to the genocide of the Jews in Israel. I gave a newspaper article link that showed a Labour MP who was removed from the party for using the quote.
The comment has been deleted, there was no information given regarding the ban, there is no point of reference to contest the ban. It is crass beyond belief. I am extremely insulted that someone gets to label me antisemitic for something that is very evidently not, and then hide behind an unbreakable barrier.
Edited to remove one sentence. It stated I would leave all Lemmy instances. Context in comments below.
Second edit: I finally got a moderator to respond to this.
from @OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml
You reported antizionism as antisemitism. You did an antisemitism.
Your source to support your claim also relies on antisemitism and the conflating of Jews and Israel.
I guess this is a community to ignore. Thank you for the responses. I will not respond to anymore here.
My response was:
Thank you for your response. Your community your rules. I made a post to try and get my head around this idiocy last night.
I will not use your community again.
EDIT: please update the ban log to reflect this. There is a huge difference between your reasoning and antisemitism.

The Right’s commitment to free speech is selective and self-serving, and their double standards is most transparent when it comes to Palestine.
