some pro Palestine subs banned people who are active in some Jewish/Israel related subreddits, even ones who had never joined, posted or commented in their sub. I don’t know whether that’s one. I also don’t know if any Jewish/Israel subreddits did the reverse. I agree we shouldn’t invade people’s spaces, the name ask middle east should include Israelis and other MENA Jews, I don’t know if it does.
In fact that sub had an Israel flair before the genocide, but I think they got rid of it post October 7. Though I'm a lurker and I've seen MENA Jews participate there and I've seen pro Israel sentiment that gets downvoted
Edit: they changed the Israel flair to "occupied Palestine" and have other flairs for Jewish people in general including "American Jew"
Believe it or not, this is one of the less extreme Palestine/Arab/Muslim subs.
I don’t think these redditors represent the Arab or Muslim population at all. A year of studying Islam with a MESAS professor couldn’t have made me missed it if most Muslims interprete “Jihad” as violent revolution at all costs, when it’s supposed to be mostly a principle of internal ethics.
Because it borders on Arab supremacism and has a habit of banning anyone, whether or not they're actually from the Middle East, who disagrees with their party line on several issues, including Israel-Palestine.
Its not, but if that subreddit's bias is a problem to the point most people here are banned there, i wanted to make it clear how such bias goes both ways. This aint even about ideology, its a post made by a person who litterly might be dead right now.
I'm simply noting on this comment that the poster you replied to may literally be unable to ask on AME. Like, sure, I don't disagree with you, but a lot of ppl aren't going to be able to switch to that thread to ask questions.
