Accusing someone of being a Zionist when no Zionist issue has been brought up is often a sign of a right-wing lunatic. Without the comment having some connection to Zionism, you cannot expect the mods to have the same full list of user histories that you do. You had the full context of the user's history - the mods likely did not. BPR.

Randomly calling people "zionists" raises red flags. Seems more of a bpr to me

I knew who the user was before I even opened this. Everytime I see that username in a news or politics sub I'm surprised they haven't been banned. Don't know if this was the right place to call them out, but I get your frustration.

I'm going to go with PTB-BPR maybe?

Don't get me wrong, fuck that guy in the picture. I've seen his comments - but just blatantly bringing it up when a lot of users aren't even going to know who he is (including the mod) it's understandable. So from their perspective it just looks like you called someone a zionist for no reason.

But from my own perspective? PTB.

Just a general complaint.

While I know that it's not always doable, when posts here don't contain a screen shot of the original comment or post, it makes it harder to give a damn about it.

I mean, here you are making a claim that what you said didn't violate that rule, but we gotta jump through hoops to discover what was said.

Regarding your edit, how often you use a community isn't relevant. You could spend hours every day in a C/, and that doesn't excuse you from community rules. Totally not useful for forming an opinion on a mod or admin action

My own edit: you don't have anything in your user history for weeks that's in that community, so it makes that aspect even less relevant

There is no "Zionist comment". Maybe "A zionists Comment".

Which is prpbably why you were banned. Off-topic and ad-hominem. Your comment makes you look like an asshole that stalks people, de-rails discussions and tries to to invalidate their arguments with ad-hlminem comments.

The user in the picture that OP is referring to doesn't have the best modlog: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/modlog?userId=14413645

Yep. We live with that user. I'm not a member of that community because I already know. I do read there occasionally.

How would they know he's a neozionist from just your comment? But this seems to be a trend, also happened on reddit's worldnews, although the support for the brigade there was quite explicit and was actively used to try to prop up the "War on Israel" to the same level as Ukraine long after Iran had been dealt with.

It's petty shit like that, trying to eliminate people from conversation so they don't have to deal with anyone with a history of supporting one of the good guys criticizing their genocide and ruining their "but we are also the good guys" narrative. Sort of why they get so defensive when they pull up the antisemitism label that Palestinians are also semites and that many groups that are antisemitic are also generally islamophobic outside of their hate circle with Arabs. These neozionist brigades have remained active long after Act-IL.
