Islamists may be fine with some civilian casualties, but I have no reason to believe that this is their main goal. Even the actual large scale attacks against the US so far (11-9) were directed towards the nation and its economy (WTC, pentagon, capitol) and not some random civilian hotspot. Then again, this wasn’t simply a religiously motivated attack and not every Islamist is the same, some may be more extreme than others, but to me the past events and expressions that I know of have not shown a clear intent to kill all Americans. I don’t think it’s really an anarchist critique, just a critique against the countless atrocities committed by the American governments and a call for systematic change, as in “Tear America down, then rebuild it into something that can’t just meddle in other countries politics and kill our people as it pleases”.

The fact that “Deutschland verrecke” is coming from Germans doesn’t change anything about the situation, because ironically this one is sometimes accompanied by a “Bomber Harris, do it again!”, which actually is a call for killing civilians, coming from Germans themselves. But without the second slogan, I also wouldn’t think that this is a call for killing all Germans, no matter if it’s Germans or anyone else saying it.

I don’t. And I’m in a lot of English subs.

Have you blocked some instances or communities? Because I know for a fact that discussions around this are a somewhat regular occurrence, even with the instances feddit.org is federated with, because I was able to see them as well when I was there. It may not discussed as much anymore as it was up to a year ago, but still occasionally flares up, IIRC it also came up again in the db0 thread about the vote for defederating feddit, but I may be wrong here.

The sentence could, for example, come straight from the neo-Nazi scene.

Unlikely. Neo-nazis may be against Jews, but they’re generally very pro-Israel. Which is only logical, because ethno-nationalism is kinda their thing, and “better have the Jews over there than here with us”. Just take a look at right-wing and literal Nazi Twitter accounts and take a shot every time you see an Israel flag in their name or bio. You’ll probably pass out drunk in just 5-10 minutes.

However, Feddit.org is not a left-wing, but rather a general instance like lemmy.world. I am also relatively certain that the sentence would be moderated away on lemmy.world as well.

It still has an overwhelmingly left-leaning user base but yeah, fair point. And lemmy.world is the pinnacle of liberal garbage, so wouldn’t surprise me. Still, there are a lot of instances that are general-purpose or focused on other non-political topics without misunderstanding this slogan.

Yes, your previous poster claims that deleting and prohibiting such posts is “policing anti-apartheid ethnostate press against a current active genocidal state.”

They’re not wrong. Of course there are more objective ways to go about this, but that doesn’t change the fact that moderating such posts is useless policing (hint: “policing” doesn’t mean “not allowing one side to post at all”) against a side objecting to genocide and the existence of settler-colonial ethnostates. And if you’re so sure that it’s not a zionist instance, you could try voicing the opinion on Feddit that Israel shouldn’t and doesn’t have the unquestionable right to exist. I’m very curious if this more neutral way of saying it with no ambiguity about the killing of civilians will get removed. If it will be, which I’m almost certain about, it’s a zionist instance. But I’m open to be proven wrong.

And sorry for slightly leaving the discussion at hand here, but with a societal, online and media landscape that has basically no issue with supporting Israel and the IDF or even being in favor of supplying (more) weapons to Israel, which has the known implication of more bloodshed in the real world, happening right now where thousands of innocent civilians, many of them children, are dying every month, we’re seriously making a fuzz about a slogan that simply calls for the dissolution of a state at best, and is ambiguous to the political illiterates at worst? This is insane, and I mean this in the literal way.
