Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons), archive:is,ph,today (their JS DDoS websites)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)

That's easy, stop Netanyahu and the gang from putting the Jew community reputation in mud water. Zionism is a cancer
The majority of Jews don't live in Israel.
NONE of the victims of these antisemitic attacks live in Israel.
And even the majority of Jews who do live in Israel don't support Netanyahu (The numbers are similar to Trump support in the US).
So keep that in mind.
Attacking Jews in Europe or the US for what Netayahu does is like attacking British people for what Trump does.
Yes, that's the basis for hate speech. Same happens with many ethnicities.
People hate on Chinese for their government, or arabs, etc.
However people dont see these things logically.
One doing what one does in name of the Jews will make the hate speech grow.
Bullshit. Fuck Netanyahu, but he's not solely responsible for the rise of global antisemitism and neither is Zionism.
Of course they are not sole responsible, only 90%.
That's also not true and a vast simplification.
If people have a problem with Netanyahus far right government they should criticise and hate on him and his politics.
But modern antisemitism is a complex phenomenon and people project a lot of problems of modern capitalist society onto Israel, because it's an easy target. Especially after Israel committed all the atrocities in Gaza.
Israel and or Netanyahu is not mainly responsible for the rise of antisemitism!
90% of the jews I have met in Germany are pro Bibi
Oh thats a very different bubble of jews than mine then. All jews i now -also in germany- do not agree at all with him. I even know Israelis living here (for more than 10years), that hate him and went to the big protests against his politics whenever they went to Israel visiting their familys - Already before the war started.
Then you have met the 10% of the Jews i know lol The ones that comes to EU straight from Israel have been soldiers in the IDF, the ones that are second and third gen start to be a bit more chill, but still pretty insufferable cunts. This is EU, everyone is welcome here as long as they have the same values as us, otherwise they have no right to be here. It goes for Jews, Muslims, Christians, etc. We canβt be hyper tolerant of the intolerant, it will be the end of us
Most Israelis have very fascist and genocidal views. The indoctrination is far more superior than any of the regime in the history.
It's either that (what you claim as true about a whole nation) - or you are just a fascist with your crippled mind.
We'll never know... /S
At one point of time, almost entirety of German population was fascist. We don't need to think of imaginary scenarios. Almost all population of a nation can be genocidal and fascist.
