In case you want to report this Zionist hasbara account that posted this reply and blocked me, please feel free to.
(This is their new tactic. The anonymous cowards.)
PS. Be careful, they’re on a German instance, they might block you instead if the admins are pro-genocide also (it’s a very common thing in Germany).

@thedyslexicKitchenwitxh Hadn’t even spotted that.
Mind you, Zionism has been antisemitic since the first day.

@aral That account is suspended...happy days.

@aral yeah - blocked instantly. 😀😀😀 but I got a report in first.
I suspect the instance needs a #fediblock maybe

@aral the account has now been limited on the main instance and suspended, among the others, by mas.to, fosstodon, hachyderm and kolektiva.
It’s however still active on berlin.social.
The complicity of some German instances in genocide denialism starts to be extremely disturbing.
@cepharum I guess that you have received dozens of reports about this account, and other large instances (including the main one) have already proceeded to limit it or suspend it in order to protect their users.
This account is with very high confidence a clone of the accounts that I have already reported here https://manganiello.eu/@fabio/posts/B3LMkqCqoOHaWoJJRY.
Same techniques, same memes shared from this propaganda page https://www.instagram.com/movement_against_antizionism/, same strategy already seen in the past (once they’re suspended by enough instances they simply create another account on another German instance to keep harassing people).
We’re not talking of legitimate opinions here, we’re talking of literal Hasbara propaganda accounts whose job is to silence all criticism of Israel on social media and incite serial harassment against those who support Palestinians.
They don’t engage, they don’t add value to the discussion, they only respond with propaganda memes.
Are you ok with this? Or shall we call Fediblock?
Aral Balkan
@JimmyB They’re still active: https://berlin.social/@hydra4455

@aral huh! Was reinstated? Was defo suspended the other day
Aral Balkan
@JimmyB
@fabio wrote that they’re suspended on mas.to so maybe that’s why you saw it as suspended? If they were suspended and then reinstated on their home server that’s almost even worse than not being suspended at all.

@JimmyB @fabio I guess they see nothing wrong with hosting an anonymous antisemitic account harassing people who oppose Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people by posting antisemitic replies and then blocking the person they are replying to.
Probably time to issue a #fediblock for berlin.social for antisemitism.
(These Zionist hasbara accounts are founded on the antisemitic conflation that all Jews are Zionists and thus all Jews support Israel and its ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people. You can even see the antisemitic symbolism in the person’s username: hydra.)
JimmyB (he/him)
@fabio @aral turns out - yup suspended and reinstated. That’s nice….
Aral Balkan
@JimmyB @fabio This is likely their modus operandi:
1. Reply to post
2. Block the person so they can’t reply
3. After some time, unblock the person so they can follow their posts again to continue the harassment
Rinse, repeat.
JimmyB (he/him)
I'm not blocked by that account any more either. Weird!
Aral Balkan
Happy to see that berlin.social has gone above and beyond what is required by German law to suspend an anonymous and antisemitic Zionist account (@hydra4455@berlin.social) that was engaged in harassing people voicing their opposition to Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people on the fediverse.
This account is just one of many following the same tactic of replying to posts with Zionist memes before blocking the original poster (so they can’t reply, etc.) and then unblocking them later so they can continue their harassment. (Rinse, repeat.) They will, no doubt, create new accounts on different servers. Please be vigilant and report + block on sight.
