I'm currently a public enemy on reddit (as in, they ban every account they find that could possibly be me) because I made a comment stating that Egyptians (I'm egyptian) are not zionists. This was in response to someone saying that Egyptians actually hate palestinians and support israel.

I got permabanned, then they proceeded to permaban every account I made, after the first, the one that lasted the longest (and last) lasted 3 months until It was flagged again for saying "I don't debate zionists" which reddit considers hate, they removed the 3 day ban I got for that but didn't remove the permaban the account got for being associated with my old account (used on the same device).

Basically each time I'm banned from a subreddit or temporarily banned from reddit itself my account gets terminated.

All because I don't support israel.

I refuse to make another one out of principle

Edit: I can't stop laughing right now.

THEY ACCIDENTALLY UNBANNED ME

That sounds comically bad. Like hard to believe bad. Even the slightest mention of anti-Zionist feeling is forbidden now on Reddit?

You better believe it. I had an account for almost 12 years that only got any kind of ban due to anti-zionist criticism I made. The whole affair with Gaza has broken me in ways I cannot describe. But you wouldn't believe what was the comment I made that got me permabanned .

Some zionists were trolling me on the Lebanon subreddit and accused all Lebanese of blaming our problems 100% on Israel. I only responded that we only blame Israel for what they deserve blame for.

No seriously, that is what got me permabanned. They claimed that that comment was a call for violence against a marginalized group of people.

I am currently personally banned from reddit for a pro palestine comment, not just like an account, they've banned my IP and Device IDs, any account I create gets deleted within a few hours, I tried to make one today to test how bad it is...

2 hours, it lasted 2 hours

It's despicable how they've tried to shut down criticism of Israel's mass murder by dishing out permabans
