Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's a very understandable thought for many really awful reasons. For what it's worth though, there are some folks who judge based on actions - not ethnicity or where a person was born/resides. I have a lot of admiration for Jews who are willing to speak up in support of human rights and ethical treatment. Especially since I have a Jewish friend who was shunned by their family in a cruel way for daring to speak and act with their conscience instead of according to pressure.
It's a worse time being a Palestinian, but of course most people can't overcome their internal racism to recognize or articulate it.
One bad thing does not negate another bad thing just because it's worse.
I like to think that the people who are Humanists and thus are the most intenselly against the way Israel is acting because of how much it goes against their Humanist Principles (you know, "though shall not mass murder people because of their etnicity"), are also the most likelly to not judge people badly just because of their religion, including in this situation people who are Jews and who given their own Principles are against the actions of Israel.
The problem as usual are the racists, the entire range of them, including those who are Jews, those who are anti-semite and those who whilst being non-Jews support Zionist supremacism or are simply Islamophobic.
For me the single most shocking thing in all this is how all the closet racists came out and we're seing things like Germany rabbidly defending Genocide with no other argument than the race of the aggressors, the very way of thinking as the supposedly "never again" old days.
That said, as others pointed out, the pain of Humanist Jews is nothing compared to what Palestinians are suffering at the hands of ultra-racist Jews and the racists supporting them in the West, so the Humanist Principle of "Minimizing Pain" would dictate that the pain of such Jews is far far behind in the order of priority of things to address than stopping the continued massacre of Palestinians.
Do you denounce Likud?
Do you ask every Muslim if they denounce Al Qaeda?
Congratulations. You proved that it's a really shitty time to be Jewish.
Congratulations, you just spectactularly missed the point.
Every Palestinian objecting to the genocide has been cut off and asked if they denounce Hamas before they even get to finish a sentence.
And y'know, maybe just maybe consider that in some respects the late 1930s were a shitty time to be German, too - but it would have been kind of insensitive to look for sympathy on that basis.
Which is a bad thing, so maybe don't do it to Jews when they haven't even stated their position.
