I run a small community called "Zionist Violence Monitor" where I share news, footage, and analysis that often gets ignored or censored elsewhere. I focus on Israeli actions, Western hypocrisy on Palestine, and sometimes I criticize other figures (like Zelensky or European leaders or whoever it is) when their stance on Zionism is relevant.

I’m looking for a Mastodon instance that won’t ban me for this kind of content. I’m not pushing propaganda, I just want a place where I can discuss these topics without being silenced. I also want to be able to criticize all sides when it’s related to the subject.

Stability is important. I don’t want to be on a server that goes down all the time. Free is also a plus. I’m on sh.itjust.works for Lemmy, and I’m looking for something similar in the Mastodon world.

does anyone have experience with these, or can you recommend another instance that fits? Any advice on which ones are stable and allow this type of content?

AIPAC is one of the most powerful lobbying groups in Washington. It has a long track record of supporting candidates who align with its positions and opposing those who do not. Three top officials in the current administration have well-documented pro-Israel records. Marco Rubio has received substantial AIPAC funding during his Senate career. Mike Waltz has been a vocal supporter of Israel. John Ratcliffe has taken hardline positions on Iran. Their policy positions align closely with AIPAC’s stated goals. This is a matter of public record, not speculation. The question is not whether AIPAC has influence, but how that influence shapes US foreign policy.

Four New Hampshire Republican state legislators attended the ‘50 States, One Israel’ conference in September 2025, with flights, luxury hotels, meals, and tours paid for by the Israeli government. The trip was valued at $6,500 per attendee. New Hampshire ethics rules limit gifts from a single source to $50. The New Hampshire Coalition for a Just Peace in the Middle East has filed a formal ethics complaint against Senate Ways and Means Chairman Tim Lang, Senate Energy and Natural Resources Chairman Kevin Avard, House Judiciary Chairman Robert Lynn, and House Housing Chairman Joe Alexander. Sharon Racusin, an organizer with the coalition, said: ‘For them to just go there with blinders on and not think that anybody was going to say, Wait a minute, there’s a genocide going on and you’re having a good time eating, drinking. It’s absolutely shocking.’ Mohammad Dana, a Palestinian-American resident of Dover, said: ‘Their duty is not to go over to Israel to lobby for them and cover up for them and be a PR representative for the Israeli government. Their job is here in New Hampshire to help their constituents.’ Senator Lang said the complaint is a political ploy and that he is confident they will be exonerated. A similar complaint against five Vermont lawmakers was dismissed by that state’s House Ethics Panel earlier this year.

Israeli security data shows a sharp rise in extremist settler violence in the occupied West Bank. In the first half of 2026, Israeli security agencies recorded 660 incidents of ‘nationalistic crime’ by extremist settlers, a 63 percent increase from the same period in 2025. These attacks killed six Palestinians and wounded 140 more. Over 100 Palestinian communities have been fully or partially displaced since January 2023 due to settler attacks and settlement expansion. Despite sanctions from six Western countries, the Israeli government has allocated $1.3 million to Ahavat Gilad, an organization linked to settler violence. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed the perpetrators as ‘a handful of kids.’ But Israel’s own Institute for National Security Studies calls it a strategic threat, warning that ‘democracies that fail to restrain radical forces within them do not survive.’

President Donald Trump declined to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his visit to New York for the United Nations General Assembly, according to a former State Department official. Annelle Sheline, a research fellow at the Quincy Institute, said Trump is ‘extremely frustrated’ with Netanyahu over his promise of a ‘quick and easy’ war against Iran, which is now in its eighth month. Sheline said Trump may be choosing not to meet Netanyahu because he feels Netanyahu got him into the situation. Unlike last year, Trump did not invite Netanyahu to the White House for a bilateral meeting. Reports indicate Netanyahu’s office tried to arrange a meeting, but the US president was unwilling. A senior US official said the two leaders’ schedules did not overlap in New York. The snub comes as Netanyahu faces reelection next month and global criticism over Israel’s war in Gaza. The Trump administration has also approved a $2.8 billion sale of heavy bombs to Israel, including 40,000 one-ton bombs.

France’s disinformation watchdog Viginum identified an Israeli firm called BlackCore as running covert influence operations targeting elections in France, Scotland, New York, Angola, and Togo. In France, BlackCore targeted three mayoral candidates from the left-wing France Unbowed party ahead of the March 2026 municipal elections. The operation used fake social media accounts, deceptive websites, and AI-generated content. One candidate was accused of rape on a fake blog. Another was targeted with phony AI-generated nude photos. Viginum said the same firm also targeted Scotland’s First Minister John Swinney, who had described the situation in Gaza as a man-made humanitarian catastrophe. Meta removed a network of accounts originating in Israel that targeted audiences in France, the United Kingdom, Australia, Iran, Togo, Gabon, Angola, and the United States. The Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto documented BlackCore’s 14-week training program for Angolan government employees, teaching them to run covert influence operations using fake personas and AI-generated content. France’s Prime Minister said France has asked Israel for explanations. The Israeli embassy in Paris said Israel has no intention to interfere in the French political process. BlackCore did not respond to requests for comment, and its website went offline after journalists began asking questions.

The current domain is basically invisible to search engines. sh.itjust.works is too long, the .works TLD isn’t SEO-friendly, and the “sh.” subdomain doesn’t add value. Why not use something shorter like itjustworks.com or itjustworks.org instead?

Is this deliberate? Would appreciate if an admin could explain the reason.

Zelensky posted warm thanks to Israel’s president for Independence Day wishes. He said Ukraine-Israel ties will grow and prayed for peace. Meanwhile, Israel bombs Gaza and occupies Palestine. Russia does same in Ukraine. Ukraine supports Israel, but Israel is just like Russia. Selective outrage is not okay. If you cry about invasion, dont support another invader.
