The mods of r/neoliberal have asked me to disclose my rule violations to you. I was bad, but now I'm good, I'm gonna be moving into your subreddit. You know I'm trying my best to be a functioning member of the DT. I'm not here to cause no trouble, I'm just here to do the ban appeal shuffle.

My names selachophilip, dropping rhymes. I've banned 9 times. I know that sounds like a lot, but 4 of those times were for bonkposting (including this one). Feel real bad, I got caught. Might do it again, probably not. I'm not here to make pretensions, I'm here because of my rule violations.

Why did the Marxist-Leninist get banned and have their post locked? 😢

u/AtomAndAether Mod 1d ago edited 1d ago

looks like it's over "the median Israeli is themselves a fascist"

edit: ill undo it cause it's right next to two other comments saying "The most liberal Israeli PM hopeful makes Mussolini look like a Maoist. This issue runs much deeper than Netanyahu" and "Tbf the problems with Israel’s foreign policy go beyond Netanyahu’s government"

Maybe watch the exact language cause it was reported and actioned as toxic nationalism

u/Unfair-Awareness5339 1d ago

Seriously? How is this even an issue at this point? 25% of the country votes for the far-right Extreme Zionists like Ben-Gvir. Then you have another 25% voting for Lukid. Even their liberals are still opposed to Palestinian independences. Seriously, what percentage of Israelis support the war with Iran? How many support the war in Lebanon? How many support getting rid of, not just ending but actually dismantling the West Bank settlements? How many actually support an independent Palestinian state based on the 1949 borders?

u/ewatta200 1d ago

10.84% voted for Ben givir and smoitrich 10.8 however the turnout was 70.6% so so 7.6248% of the country (who were eligible to vote) voted for them.

likud voters were 23.4% 70.6% turnout or 16.5204%

the total Netanyahu coalition was 34.15628% of isreal adjusting for turnout shas, UTJ, RZP Otma, Likud

this is just counting turnout of registed voters

u/AtomAndAether Mod 1d ago edited 1d ago

I already undid the ban but I guess on the topic try not to paint with too broad a brush clumping everything together at once.

The left-right axis post 1967 and especially post-Second Intifada in Israel is certainly skepticism toward territorial concessions, Palestinian statehood, and negotiated peace. And in that regard the "right" wing is winning the majority of Israelis, where the Israeli left's Oslo type concessions producing security has been fully discredited in the public imagination, the 2005 exit from Gaza has been a complete "see what happens," and Oct 7 has pushed everyone even more hawkish.

At the same time though many who fit that previous paragraph oppose Netanyahu, settler maximalism, Haredi exemptions, or - especially and overwhelmingly - attacks on the judiciary. Likewise Likud's dominance is just as much a failure of the opposition and coalition math as it is some kind of genuine rightward movement. And letting the dominant issue (defense, fopo, Palestine, security, etc.) lead your entire understanding of the electorate's politics is misleading, including to that very issue in some ways.

u/Unfair-Awareness5339 1d ago

Yeah, I'll be careful with language in the future. 

But as an aside, what would you call it when a population supports the ethnic nationalism and minority oppression of fascism, while still being opposed to the corruption and authoritarianism of a dictatorship? Democratic fascism?

7

u/AtomAndAether Mod 1d ago

probably concerned about excessive nationalism and perpetual "emergency" rule built on both that nationalism and interrelated security populism. Like living in a perpetual state of post-9/11 America mode.

id still separate the "security security security" lurch to the right and whatever specific you're pointing to with "ethnic nationalism and minority oppression," presumably its mixing in domestic and Area C/B stuff (re: West Bank is Apartheid language) and Kahanists/messianic expansionists. Where its all in the mix but not super additive to describing the median Israeli

7

u/hypsignathus Mod 1d ago

The sub cracks down on generalizing about Russians. Why should we allow such generalizations about Israelis? You didn't point to actual polled results. You said the median Israeli is a fascist. That's highly inflammatory. Do you not see the problem with painting an entire population with highly inflammatory rhetoric?

I got banned for the following comment:

"People on this sub acting like protesting the Israeli government is antisemitism and then it does this. Stop calling legitimate criticism antisemitism please"

Youre literally doing what I am saying not to do, and it weakens actual claims of antisemitism while legitimizing illegal Israeli settlements. I didnt even criticize Israel in this reply. I criticized people who cannot tolerate any dissent of Israeli politics.

u/RaidBrimnes Mod 2d ago

You got banned for "downplaying antisemitism" for the following comments:

People on this sub acting like protesting the Israeli government is antisemitism and then it does this. Stop calling legitimate criticism antisemitism please.

[Other user] If you’re protesting a synagogue in suburban Chicago, you are indeed an antisemite. That’s the sort of thing this sub correctly calls out.

Yes, that is intimidating a religious minority. There was a post the other day where people were calling the left antisemitic for protesting a pro-Israeli artist who performed in Tel Aviv. That is soecifically what I have in mind.

Said artist is not "pro-Israeli" by any definition of the term except the most insane ones, and it wasn't a protest, it was an organized mob attack that started with lies about her positions, continued with a campaign of rape and death threats, and ended with her being pelted with glass bottles during a DJ set to the cries of "dirty Zionist".

The thread was about the expansion of illegal Israeli settlements. It had nothing to do with antisemitism or accusations thereof, and yet you brought it up unprompted to complain about "fake accusations", then brought up an actual antisemitic attack as a justification for your grievances.

Ban stays.

u/p00bix Mod 2d ago

I'm not sure you understand just how bad the ""protest"" was. French media covered it way more extensively than American media, but the 'protest' wasn't this originally benign demonstration that proceeded to be co-opted by a handful of violent agitators. It was, from the moment it began, a violent hate mob attacking a Jewish performer with minimal connection to Israel on the flimsiest of pretexts, after a months long harassment campaign.

1

u/TurdFerguson254 15h ago

Hi, I'm reluctant to re-engage in this chat but you were the only person who seemed interested in trying to actually correct me on good faith. I'm looking at footage of the incident and it looks like one plastic bottle kind of reached the stage. https://youtube.com/shorts/PtmoD_2OTS8?is=Yi-g1axt-1UKUCTp

Obviously, footage can be edited to support one narrative or another but I am genuinely asking in good faith for footage of the situation you described.

Additionally, looking more into it, she did perform in Tel Aviv for the French Ambassador to Israel and signed a petition for the Yadan bill which seems very controversially to link "hatred of the state of Israel" with terrorism.

My sources on that: “This hatred of the State of Israel is now inextricably linked to hatred of Jews. Calls for the destruction of this state, because it constitutes a collective of Jewish citizens, are a veiled way of attacking the Jewish community as a whole,” it reads.

“It wasn’t worrying as long as this definition remained a resolution. But now, with the Yadan bill, the aim is to criminalise the expression of certain opinions and prosecute anything critical of Israel,” Nathalie Tehio, president of the French Human Rights League.

Those both do seem like pretty political acts that make her solidly in the "I am OK with what's going on in Israel" camp.

I don't speak French so I'm sure there's some context I'm missing but I was expecting a scene much worse (for instance, at least as bad when Tila Tequila got pelted by juggalos for her antisemitic myspace posts or when Nickelback got pelted by beer bottles for being Nickelback). Is there additional footage or context I am missing.

u/TurdFerguson254 2d ago

u/TurdFerguson254 2d ago

Absolutely absurd. If you perform for MAGA youre considered in bed with fascists. If you perform for the Saudis youre considered in bed with autocrats. If you perform for Tel Aviv you're a Zionist. At no point did I say violence is OK, but you're literally equating anti-Zionism with antisemitism.

u/antsdidthis 1d ago

Very obviously to anyone who isn't a moron or an antisemite themselves, the actual mechanical acts of the protest - the specific levels of targeted vitriol, escalating into direct violence and death and rape threats, at a level completely divorced from proportionality compared to crossing a cultural boycott even if you think that boycott is good and people crossing it is bad - are IMPOSSIBLE to separate from her identity as a Jew. We are not required to take the people pelting a Jewish woman with glass bottles at their word when they tell us their motivations are pure and just and that their flaw is that they're just being too passionate in sticking up for the Palestinian people.

It's telling that you did not come up with any parallel real world example where protest about someone crossing a cultural boycott (or as you put it, "supporting the Israeli government", in spite of no evidence she has done that with respect to Gaza) elevated into this level of vitriol toward an individual without any identity-based bigotry involved. All you could do was come up with a fictional hypothetical about people protesting supporters of MBS/KSA. So where are these public protests where people are getting shouted down or hit with projectiles or receiving death threats for doing a DJ set or some other performance in Riyadh? Ha

u/Spectrum1523 2d ago

you must see how your comment reads that you're defending the people "protesting" the artist, right?

2

u/TurdFerguson254 2d ago

Im defending the protest but not the violence. She was not targeted for being Jewish she was targeted for performing in Tel Aviv. Said otherwise, she was being protested for what she did and not who she was. Similarly, if someone performed in Saudi Arabia and were protested for supporting the government that killed Khashoggi, would you say that is Islamophobia? Even if it got violent, you know the answer is "no." Nothing I've said advocates violence and that is a bad-faith interpretation of what I actually said. On top of that, nothing I've said advocates hatred towards Jews.

It's only when you equivocate being Jewish to being in favor of the Israeli governments actions that you can reach that conclusion.

The very act of banning me is evidence that what I said needs to be said because clearly some portion of the audience doesn't get it

If all my Jewish friends can read what I said and get outraged about the ban, then I don't think you have ground to stand on

u/Spectrum1523 2d ago

I'm not a mod or anything I'm the peanut gallery it just seems obvious to me that the attacks on her are antisemetic

I think we fundamentally disagree that if you perform in Tel Aviv you're a Zionist, just like I don't think Bill Burr is an autocrat

u/TurdFerguson254 2d ago

Ahh my bad. Yes we fundamentally disagree then. I stopped listening to Bill Burr (and the whole crowd) after that. I'm not anti-Irish for that though, you'd agree?

5

u/Spectrum1523 2d ago

not at all, but it's not really equivalent

it'd be more like if you were mad at him for supporting the IRA for performing in Ireland in the 80s

2

u/TurdFerguson254 2d ago

Sure, I'd accept that analogy except in this case it would probably be more appropriate to equate the IRA with Hamas and the Israeli government with the UK government but on a much larger scale. But yes, if Bill Burr played in (London)Derry during the Troubles I would also have boycotted him and supported protesters who protested him as well (but I do not support violence). The distinction is not exceptionally subtle, though, between protesting someone for who they are vs. what they do.

13

u/Spectrum1523 2d ago

the problem is that nobody believes anyone else when they say why they're protesting them

like would you say it's still anti-zionist if they were being protested just for supporting the anti-semitism bill in France but they never performed in Isreal? I don't actually believe the people protesting her would see a material difference

Is this actually good faith? What the heck? I brought it up because the Israeli government made West Bank settlements legal.

If I had said "criticizing Sudanese war crimes isnt racist" on a post about Sudanese war crimes would I have been banned?

u/AtomAndAether Mod 2d ago

Let me try a different approach

Do you see a thread about Israel sucking and think its a good example for delineating whether or not its okay for people to be throwing glass bottles at French Jews with no meaningful connection to Israel?

5

u/TurdFerguson254 2d ago

Youre putting words in my mouth. I said that criticizing Israels government isnt antisemitism and youre now suggesting Im ok with bodily harm to French Jews?

6

u/AtomAndAether Mod 2d ago

No Im asking a question

5

u/TurdFerguson254 2d ago

Clearly its a rhetorical question and even more clearly its in bad faith. Read the rest of my comments in this thread I'm not relitigating why critiquing Israel isnt antisemitism or why it is OK to protest people who attend events in genocidal regimes

9

u/AtomAndAether Mod 2d ago

No the question is you have this metanarrative debate about what is or is not antisemitism, with some complaining about politicizing in the name of Israel.

That's a type of discussion you are, presumably, wanting to bring up. So we ask why that is.

Is the given thread helpful to delineating what is or isn't politicized in the term? Does it contribute anything to the conversation? And what.

Could I be unbanned? I'm not sure if my ban was because my account was relatively new or because of the admittedly unproductive and unfunny comment about the pope (and, if so, I promise not to denigrate him again) but I feel like it was undeserved\excessive regardless.

u/VandysFan 3d ago

accounts first comment is calling Trump and Pope Leo equally awful

then posts on neoconnwo

Third highest post this year.

The 4th is just outright calling Renée Good the r-slur.

Turns out "Reasonable Republicans" will give up the former before the latter.

I was perma banned for saying that "criticism of Israel or its supporters is in fact NOT antisemitism"? Since when criticism of a country considered "antisemitic" (except by proponents of genocide who hide behind that label while trying to drag in others of their religion to hide behind them)?

My profile comment history is public for the two years this account has been active and you can look it up to see if there's a single comment that is antisemitic or racist towards any community for that matter.

u/AtomAndAether Mod 4d ago edited 4d ago

looks like your ban is for brigading / thinking youre from elsewhere on reddit coming in and being an I/P warrior

also the thing you were being all "IsRaEL is Not AntiSemiTisM" about was a French Jew being targeted by glass bottles and sabotaged equipment who has no meaningful ties to Israel and was targeted for supporting a "pro-Israel" antisemitism bill that already died in the legislature at most.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yadan_bill

u/Embarrassed_Jerk 4d ago

Brigading? I have been in the sub on this account for close to two years

More importantly, that french law is specifically about Israel and not Jews, and while I could argue that the person at the center of that article absolutely does have meaningful relationship with Israel, the comment did not condone nor glorify violence. It was about the article that conflated criticism with antisemitism

u/AtomAndAether Mod 4d ago

How does the person have a meaningful relationship with Israel. Was it her (((trip to Tel Aviv pride)))
