Any respectable instance should distance itself from those terrorist supporters as soon as possible.

Naturally, that would be solved by reporting those comments before defederating, right? Except, well, here’s what one of their admins says (https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/2628340):

Someone from federation reported your post for “hate speech”…

So I banned them for being a zionist lol

These are people who are happy that, among other things, a woman got paraded naked and spat on by the Hamas animals, because they 1- they don’t consider her to be a civilian and 2- they consider acts of barbarism against Jewish people to be acts of “resistance”.

We should not federate with people that are not only supporting dictatorships but also cheer on Islamic terrorism.
