Saying "Israel is like the 51st US state" is a bannable offense for "misinformation" on Lemmy.world (lemmy.ml)

@[email protected] is banning people on lemmy.world's largest communities for saying that Israel is like the 51st US state. He's declaring that this is "misinformation"

That Israel exists as a de-facto US state is a fairly non-controversial statement in Israel. But on lemmy.world's largest communities, where mods are working to distance certain US politicians from the war, it's now misinformation.

Of course it is. Hyperbole is not news, and you posted it to .world’s c/news & c/world. You’re trolling. If it were my instance I would have given you a temp site ban.
