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.
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 Zionist and you only allow Israel to claim “self defence” as per your other comment?
Get it through your thick 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.
Not a zionist, read my own posts and comments in the communities.
If you advocate to kill Palestinians, your comments will ALSO be removed.
Of course you aren’t, sweetie.
You just said you wouldn’t remove “Israel has right to defend themselves” statements which is nothing else but advocating to kill Palestinians, so stop lying.
Israel absolutely has the right to defend themselves, and that has nothing to do with the genocide in Gaza. When a hostile country shoots missiles at you, any country has the right to respond.
I guess you weren’t paying attention:
Before the current conflict that Israel started:

Both countries had been poking each other for decades. Most recently:

Which resulted in:

In turn:

and then…

But lets not forget:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_2024_Israeli_strikes_on_Iran
I’d like to say it would all stop if Israel would, you know, stop killing people, but history shows it won’t.
Oh, a genocide apologist.
You now need to ban yourself, hypocrite.
Tell me you didn’t read any of the links without telling me you didn’t read any of the links.
Again, nothing to do with genocide. When Israel gets attacked by Iran, they have the right to defend themselves. Same when Iran gets attacked by Israel. That’s the whole point of being a sovereign state. If you get attacked, you’re allowed to respond.
Unless your argument is Israel has no right to exist? You aren’t trying to argue that, right?
They are not (yet) trying to commit genocide in Iran. Give it 20 years, maybe. They have their hands full with the genocide in Gaza, then they still have the West Bank, Golan, probably Syria as a whole after Golan, and Lebanon.
Assuming the UN allows it to continue, it’s only a matter of time before they get to Iran, but it’s not happening yet. But then the UN is pretty fucking toothless when it comes to Israeli war crimes.
