General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

If anything, it’s antisemitic to equate the Jewish people to Israel and pretend criticizing Israel is criticizing Jews. I’m an american and I am strongly opposed to the things happening here as well as in the UK. But that doesn’t mean I by default hate americans/Brits because I am against what the governments are doing. That’s really dumb.

Some liberals here in the states are also conflating them to the point where they say progressive candidates running with the platform that they are not accepting money from AIPAC is antisemitic. It’s mind boggling to me how one comes to these thoughts.

It is antisemitic as hell to suggest Palestine cannot be free without Jews suffering which is what equating "Free Palestine" to antisemitism does as it implies that Judaism is at its core meant to commit this Genocide against Palestinians, which is the most heinous way imaginable to me that you could drag Judaism through the mud...
