Due to a (now former) admin of the instance anarchist.nexus calling for a member of our team, as well as anyone else they call a zionist, to be murdered, the instance has been defederated.

We're currently discussing how we will proceed with this situation and whether it will affect lemmy.dbzer0.com, which is mostly run by the same admin team, notably excluding the person who used to be on the anarchist.nexus admin team.

We will share further updates once we have them.

Update 2026-04-22 23:25 UTC: anarchist.nexus federation has been reactivated.

We are still discussing this matter, but there is currently no point in keeping anarchist.nexus defederated while lemmy.dbzer0.com is federated.

I mean this pretty much avoids the question by invoking the idea that because there was some Nazis you approve of, something something.. I fail to see the relevance. It sure sounds like apologetics.

You then proceed to moralize about the efficacy of the critique the stament is making, but you didn't actually address the question.

Your argument is basically "Don't be critical of Zionists or Israelis, because that plays into their five d chess".

Now, put yourself in the position of the period immediately before WWII, and in your response, replace the word Israel with the word Nazi Germany.

Would you still agree with your statement? Are you comfortable with history remembering you did these kinds of apologetics on behalf of the worst criminals, the most abhorrent people of the time?

Okay, I'll switch to talking about the big man himself.

It is a wonderful thing that Hitler killed himself. It was a PR blessing for the allies, because it prevented him from becoming a martyr. If Hitler had not killed himself, I do not think he should have been given the death penalty. I am against killing Hitler unless he was an active combatant. I think Hitler should have been given life in prison, because I am against the death penalty in all circumstances. And it would have made him a martyr.

Likewise, Netanyahu should not be killed. He should be given a fair trial, which I believe should reach a verdict of life in prison. I don't want Netanyahu martyred, I don't want to spend tons of money on his death row, I just want to put him in a room where he can't hurt anyone until he dies of old age.
