All from in this thread in !world@lemmy.world about a chant at a British music festival where an artist said “death, death to the IDF”.
After other users were quoting that chant in the comments and had comments removed and banned, the hero of our story, @theacharnian@lemmy.ca (appearing as “acargitz”) pointed out that under international law, fighting an occupying force is legitimate. But apparently not under world news rules, as their removed comments and the many explanations from mods make clear in the thread.
Equally against the rules is the call for the eradication of an organisation or business, even without an explicit call to violence against individual members of the business.
In the same thread: user @DeathToTheIDF@lemmings.world had comments removed for being anti-American “(again)”, though I couldn’t see the first time. It’s not even clear to me how the removed comments were anti-American.
Bonus points for the “DC Comics” removal reason. Though this seems to be incompetence, rather than malice.
Are you going to remove comments saying “Israel has a right to self defence”? As Israeli “self defence” means murdering civilians by any means available.
No, because every country has the right to self defense, that is not a call to violence.
Aren’t Palestinians having right to self defence?
Sure they do, but their self defense in the real world has absolutely nothing to do with our community rules.
They cannot advocate for killing Israelis in our group any more than Israelis can advocate for killing Palestinians. We DO NOT allow that shit.
We control what we can in the groups we moderate, we don’t moderate the real world, that’s outside our responsibility.
Do you accept that IDF is an occupying force and therefore Palestinians have right to kill IDF soldiers - and call for IDF to be killed?
They can, BUT NOT IN OUR COMMUNITES.
Get this through your thick head:
Online forums are not the real world. They have their own rules and guidelines. What you do in the real world and what you are allowed to say in one of our forums ARE NOT THE SAME THING.
Because you are a zionazi and you only allow Israel to claim “self defence” as per your other comment?
Get it through your thick zionazi skull: Palestinians calling for killing IDF is a self defence. Israel calling for “self defence” is not a self defence at all - it is a call to murder yet more civilians including children.
Actions matter, sweetie.
