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.
centrists are looking at the genocide in Gaza and are using “Israel has a right to protect itself” IN THAT CONTEXT to justify the genocide in Gaza. You know this.
They never used it to justify they genocide, they DID use it to justify continuing to support Israel.
As long as Iran keeps rattling the saber about wanting to destroy Israel, we will keep funding and supplying Israel, regardless of the absolutely evil shit they keep doing.
Israel exists, largely, because of the United States and no US President will ever walk away from that.
Considering that they used it to describe netanyahu’s actions in Gaza, they were doing absolutely nothing else and you know it.
Gloat more.
Oh, you did gloat more.
