This is really for my non-Jewish friends...

I know to many of you, Zionism appears to be a left/right issue, that is you believe that Zionist Jews are right wing, and non or anti-Zionist Jews are left wing.

This is not the case.

Zionism is an issue that does not fall neatly in the left/right political paradigm. Early Israeli Zionism was extremely left, even Communist in nature, and modern diasporatic Jews, many of whom are left-learning, are also Zionists.

If you're a gentile and wondering where you should fall on Zionism, the answer is generally: no where.

Zionism is a Jewish issue, deeply tied to Jewish thought and the Jewish experience. It's not a matter for you to weigh in on, and it's generally not a "political" issue, even though it has political implications.

As for Babka, it is not a Zionist or non-Zionist instance. We don't exclude or gatekeep Jews based on their stance towards Zionism.

(please boost!)

ommnia,

@serge Really? Didn't you recently defame, smeared and then deleted all your aggressive posts before you blocked an entire instance because you were accused of spreading Islamophobic content by someone who regularly publishes academic content that airs dirty laundry? If you're so unfazed, one would assume you'd keep your cool and engage. Calling an Israeli because they're not right-wing is hypocritical considering all of the above.

@serge well, unless your socket puppet @emacsen has a life of its own, one of you defederated emacs.ch as can be seen on fediblock. Would you mind releasing the summary document with its admin, or at least explain why contrary to what you're saying here, you thought that an Israeli you didn't agree with, is an antisemite, and why did that justify blocking a very popular instance which otherwise has nothing to do with or anything related?

@histodons #histodons Was curious about this title, which I'm browsing through at the moment. It seems to be not using some of the most obvious sources I'm aware of in respect to the Jews of North Africa in general, but also in the context of the Holocaust....

What is your favorite Mastodon client?

Hey everyone, super excited to be exploring the fediverse both here on kbin and elsewhere. Looking for a Mastodon client primarily for iOS, great to see the main app is open-source, but there seems to be quite a few options out there. Feel free to share non-iOS clients for others' benefit as well....

ommnia,

For me it was phanpy.social for a while, though now back to the vanilla default.

ommnia,

You need to define "failed" before you attempt to qualify/quantify. It changed the playing field. I've never been active on social media before I found my mastodon community. The normies will always be on Twitter, the way there are still some on AOL.
