    I have reviewed the comments text and vote counts.

    I feel alarmed by the doubts and animus targeting a post that simply seeks support for the cause of Palestinian liberation.

    Currently, the Palestinian people are being murdered by a genocidal apartheid state. The fascistic leaders of the state have boasted about their intention to inflict the genocide. They have consistently made racist characterizations and lied to cover war crimes.

    Israel is actively perpetrating genocide against the Palestinian people.

    Such are facts, and any condemnation for Hamas cannot justify support for Israel, or its genocide, or its occupation, nor can it invalidate the legitimate and essential demand for Palestinian liberation.

    I cannot respect any participation in a leftist space that is tepid in condemnation of Israel, a genocidal apartheid state under fascistic leadership.

      I cannot influence how people vote on posts, and per my mod application I’m generally only available to perform mod duties in the evenings. This post isn’t just visible to [email protected], the entire fediverse can see, vote, and comment. I’m doing my best as a single steward of the community. I’m sorry if slower moderation in a low activity community is degrading your participation.
