Well, I think this is where the "Nazi Bar" metaphor comes into play. I think its defensible for db0 to clearly say, and they had a debate, provided evidence, etc.., that feddit.org clearly has a Zionist problem. We could argue with their process, evidence etc.. but we can't disagree that they did have a process, provided evidence, etc..
I mean isn't that the point? Feddit is turning a blind eye to this when it comes from a specific, narrow ideological group. The argument being made is that Feddit is either defending or turning a blind eye to one specific group of people who are ideological advocates for genocide because they do it on behalf of Israel.
And to be clear and I've said this elsewhere. I don't think you leave a Nazi (in this metaphor, Zionists) bar to the Nazis. If you find out that a group of Nazi's walked into the bar you are in, you collect your group of friends at your table, and you walk over and start a fight. Don't give them an inch.
I think the argument here is that if you don't want to be known as a instance supporting genocide and fascism, you have some work to do.
