Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

It's one thing to get into a bar fight with some other patrons, but to have security jump in against you? The fuck were they doing?

Just kidding they're Israeli, I can guess what they were doing

[–] Euergetes@hexbear.net 39 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

how are israelis so racist they turned vacationing into some kind of team sport

yankkkees (and most western euros) are all generally racist yet don't manage to behave such that they're periodically heaped into a team pvp vs. locals and other tourists

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 41 points 11 hours ago

it's because israeli tourists think that every country is isntrael so they assume they can just start shit and the cops and soldiers are on their side

[–] miz@hexbear.net 32 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

the loss of one of them

The security guards at the venue cooperated with the attackers and also beat them.

hell yeah based security guards

[–] ExotiqueMatter@lemmygrad.ml 37 points 11 hours ago

"YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO MAKE SURE THIS BAR IS SAFE AND WELCOMING TO EVERYONE!!!"

ppb-gigachad "I already am."

[–] Beaver@hexbear.net 33 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Security guards are sometimes surprisingly based, not just thumbs thumb-cop. Especially bouncers.

[–] ComradeRat@hexbear.net 11 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I know a communist whos a security guard lol. Its his second job (poor guy works 60h a week)

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 10 points 7 hours ago

It's a good job for those of us with the social skills to talk politics with the other guards. It's a surprise tool that will help us later.

[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 26 points 11 hours ago

Yeah bouncers are a real mixed bag. Like my local crust punk dive bar has stood by and watch multiple times as I physically ejected someone for saying slurs and shit.

[–] supafuzz@hexbear.net 41 points 13 hours ago

sometimes I wish I owned a bar so I could throw "Israelis" out of it

[–] spudnik@hexbear.net 30 points 13 hours ago

It's not much, but it's honest work

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 40 points 12 hours ago

The Israelis fled to the restroom

I bet they were giving the Arabs shit and when it went south they ran away as per

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 57 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I'm sure this happened for absolutely no reason

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 48 points 12 hours ago

Israeli tourists are renowned for being well balanced and conscientious

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 24 points 12 hours ago

and the venue's guards.

rare rent-a-cop W

rare thailand tourism W, or is it a wash because the zionists were also tourists?

[–] RandomUser161@hexbear.net 15 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I'd like to know more info before I make an opinion as im not sure whether these folks were personally in the wrong, what their position on the genocide is, and whether they are even pro Israel. I have friends from Israel who run an anti zionist, pro palestine punk band, for example.

[–] stink@lemmygrad.ml 25 points 11 hours ago

If you've ever traveled abroad you'd quickly realize what kind of flavor these isntrealis travel by.

[–] microfiche@hexbear.net 24 points 13 hours ago

three settlers

Settlers where? What the fuck does this actually mean beyond polishing the turd that is colonialism.
