Palestinians, as well as some left-wing Jews, are being suspended from studies, fired from jobs, or arrested at night — all because of social media posts.

Remember folks. Support Israel because they’re “the only Democracy in the Middle East™”.

Also, you aren’t allowed to criticize Israel. If you do, you must be a anti-Semite or Holocaust denier or something.

Yeah don’t worry, they’re the good guys. The good guys are always the ones arresting and murdering people who critique them. North Korea, China, Russia, the good guys. Support Israel. There is no gun to my head. Support Israel.

Did Netanyahu get a copy of Mein Kampf, cross out every instance of ‘Jew’ and change it to ‘Palestinian’ and then use it as a guidebook or something?

He belongs in prison.

Literally wasn’t he being charged with a corruption lawsuit before this mess started?

Israel or the settlement preceeding it was allied with Nazi Germany. It is not ironic that Israel built a giant concentration camp in Gaza:

That was the first stage of the Holocaust. The Nazis even considered sending all Jews to Madagascar at one point. Thats one thing that I try to point out to people, the Holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers, it started with people being chased out of their homes and treated as second class citizens. It took years of good people doing nothing for it to metastasize into the death camps.

I mean… Hitler was fine with discriminating against Christian Germans who weren’t members of the party. That was why he had secret police.

No Christian in Nazi Germany was discriminated for being Christian. Hitler referred to himself as Christian, had a catholic upbringing and was never excommunicated, not even retroactively to this day. The two big Christian denominations received very favorable laws (see Reichskonkordat) which they are very fond of to this day. The antisemitism in Nazi Germany was an aggravation of centuries old Christian antisemitism which could be found all over Europe. All claims that any Christian was discriminated by the Nazis for being Christian is patently absurd. It was a deeply Christian movement with some occult/pagan elements (see Himmler & Co).

Not to diminish anything else here but have a look at how much they look like American police uniforms. You can tell we’re a police state because we quite literally export it to authoritarians.

Lol, we export to everyone, don’t get it mixed up. We’re the biggest arms exporter in the world. Our customers are of all regimes, not just fascist ones

I quite literally never made that point nor would I. In fact I implied the opposite in that we are fascists and we’re exporting fascism under the guise of policing.

Hunh? You think that the USA is a police state because we use similar police uniforms with Israel?

I’ll make a bet we’ve trained them and a us company probably made and sold that uniform to them, hence export.

Actually, it’s US police that go to Israel for training. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-us-police-training-end-knee-neck-protests

Extremely unlikely we are doing any of those things. US textiles are fairly expensive compared to almost all nations and there would be no reason to have US police training Israeli police since they follow different standards and do not encounter similar crime.

So morally upright they have to arrest anyone who accuses them of war crimes. Nope nothing to see here.

Create post

A community for discussing events around the World

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.

  • 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.
