  • Are you surprised?

    Ben Gvir is literally a convicted terrorist. Do you have any idea how extreme you have to be for Israel to convict you of being a Zionist terrorist?

    He was so rightwing, the IDF excused him from compulsory military service

    The fact that he’s now in a position of authority is a huge red flag

    Itamar Ben-Gvir was born in Mevaseret Zion. His father was born in Iraqi Kurdistan and worked at a gasoline company and dabbled in writing.[10] His mother was a Kurdish Jewish immigrant who was active in the Irgun as a teenager and was a homemaker. His family was secular, but as a teenager, he adopted religious and radical right-wing views during the First Intifada. He first joined a right-wing youth movement affiliated with Moledet, a party which advocated the expulsion of Arabs out of Israel, and then joined the youth movement of the even more radical Kach and Kahane Chai party, which was designated as a terrorist organization and outlawed by the Israeli government.[12][13] He became youth coordinator of Kach, and claimed that he was detained at the age of 14. When he came of age for conscription into the Israel Defense Forces at 18, he was exempted from service by the IDF due to his extreme-right political background.[14][10]

    Ben-Gvir continued to be associated with the Kahanist movement;[15] Otzma Yehudit is considered Kach’s ideological successor.[16] However, when forming the Otzma Yehudit party, he claimed that it would not be a Kach, Kahane Chai or splinter group.[17] He carried out a series of far-right activities that have resulted in dozens of indictments. In a November 2015 interview, he claimed to have been indicted 53 times.[18] In most cases, the charges were thrown out of court.[10] In 2007, however, he was convicted for incitement to racism and supporting a terrorist organization.[19][20] Ben-Gvir has been convicted of at least eight charges.[9]

    In the 1990s, he was active in protests against the Oslo Accords. In 1995, Ben-Gvir came to public attention for the first time, when he appeared on television brandishing a Cadillac hood ornament that had been stolen from Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin’s car, and declared: “We got to his car, and we’ll get to him too.” Several weeks later, Rabin was assassinated by right-wing extremist Yigal Amir.[10][21]

  • Why did so many people upvote that?

    The world revolves around the sun homie, not America…

    Hell, the big reason they got arrested, is they kept openly saying to a global audience “we came here because with a little money there’s no consequences”.

    Which pisses off the corrupt justice system and the people who benefit from it.

    They fucked up a nice situation a lot of dangerous people benefit from, but you’re clearly stuck in your own world view if you honestly think:

    They learned from our local high-profile crooks that if you can delay proceeding for a couple years, the process ends.

    Just fucking wild man














  • They probably thought you meant something different than what you actually meant.

    You think they do an annual review of threads?

    It was over a year ago I made the comment, they banned me for it five days ago.

    I don’t know man, it’s weird you’re not getting that, but it doesn’t really matter.

    I’m sorry if I’m explaining it poorly.

    I did remember it wasn’t I blocked a mod, I explained why I might not respond. And apparently they didn’t like that I had blocked their instance


  • Weird, maybe because I looked at world’s modlog and not theirs like you seem to have done.

    I clicked on the link, it was a comment from literally a year ago lol.

    https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/3159844

    I blocked the mod of that sub about a week ago, so they likely went and saw my last comment there and banned me for it.

    Like I said tho, I’m perfectly fine with it. I blocked their whole instance a long time ago, I think it might have actually been that thread that clued me in it wasn’t worth ever going there again.

    Thanks for finding that tho! I’ll remember to check an instance’s own modlog in the future for more details.

    Quick edit:

    (which your agreement to could be seen as agreement with trans-segrigation in sports).

    Nah, I was explaining how the only way to get better at chess is to play better people, and there’s no reason for any classes based around gender. And the explanation for difference in skill, is simply that the best men refused to play women, so they never improved. The first female grand master was only that good because her dad was crazy good and made her and her sister play him constantly.

    You need the experience of high level play to be able to play at a high level, and any gender divide in division just prolongs that. So I was arguing against any segregation at all.

    That’s why they let it stay up a year until I blocked the mod of that community.

    And suddenly it was transphobic.



  • Nah, I replied to OP and they deleted the comment.

    Maybe that looks weird on some federated instances or apps tho.

    If it looks like I’m replying to someone else, that would explain the down votes.

    OPs post gets reposted pretty frequently, always by new accounts which tend to disappear a day or two later after some lazy posts.

    I really do think it’s the same person who’s bans are in the screenshots.

    It’s too random that a bunch of brand new accounts all find the post and quote it with perfectly formatting including all the pictures just to repost it the same place they found it.

    Especially since the new account always claims they’re “helping new users” like they’ve been here forever.
