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.

Antisemitism is on the rise because people like you do a lot of victim blaming. Attacking Jews because the internet propaganda made you angry is not justified. It's not happening "because of how the Jews act" or whatever rationalization you're attempting here. Antisemtism happens because antisemitism is being spread on the internet without being challenged because people don't want to upset their friends in the anti-Israel movement.
Actually, I think it's terrible anyone remotely jewish gets hate targetted at them because the hater in question conflates being jewish with being pro-Israel/genocide.
The problem is that there is inherently a large overlap of these 2 groups,and those within that overlap are often the ones we see most in the media.
If you compare polling data with media representation, there is a strong indication that those that are jewish, but critical of Israel, will see retribution or get shunned from their communities, as the article shows. So fear of reprisal is silencing the voices trying to differentiate jewishness from Israel.
Problem is, people who only read headlines or watch 5min of news in the doctor's office will only ever see the pro-Zionist jewish representatives. So to them, only that overlap exists,hence the antisemitism.
So no, I'm not blaming the victim here, because the real victims are those jews who get bashed for something they aren't supporting. I do blame the scum that think there is nothing wrong with firing tank shells at unarmed, starving people queueing to get food, simply because they're Palestinian. You can call it racism if it makes you sleep better at night, I just call it disliking people being dicks to eachother.
Edit: To add, I think the enablers like Bezos & Murdoch are just as evil bastards, regardless of ethnicity or religion. And yes, that includes Hamas as well, especially the leaders living in luxury in Qatar instead of standing among their starving population.
That's a lot of rationalization and excuses for why you won't speak out against the rampant racism within your group.
Here in Canada we're needing to create protest bubbles to prevent people from harassing Canadian Jews: https://globalnews.ca/news/11265909/protest-law-blocking-school-place-fo-worshp/
Look at the people in that image. They are protesting Canadian Jews because they're angry at Jews on the other side of the world. It's antisemitism.
We went through the same thing with the Antivaxxer Convy protests. Bunch of racist assholes back then were using their antivax bullshit as a reason to go out and harass random Asian people on the street.
This movement is no different. And how effective do you think your movement will in influencing government policy when the government is busy making policies to prevent your group from engaging in antisemitic attacks?
The point of this group is obviously not to change anything, and it's turning into a hate group because no one within the group is speaking out against the antisemitism. Look at the image in the article I linked to. By their actions (harassing Canadian Jews at a synagogue), they are antisemitic people and how is anyone supposed to distinguish between that group of antisemitic assholes and any other "pro-Palestinian" protest? Given what I see posted here daily I'm doubting there is anyone that actually cares about Palestinians, it's just an excuse to express hatred and fit in with the group expressing hatred. We've seen this kind of shit happen before.
In Canada, our grandparents fought a war against antisemitc assholes, so you aren't going to intimidate very many Canadians into joining your cause when it's entangled with antisemitsm and violence. If you're looking the other way about antisemitism in your movement, you're in a hate group and people will oppose it. If you really believed in your cause you wouldn't feel the need to use violence to impose your views on others.
