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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

You are going 1000 years ago just like zios huh. Blacks amd many other races/ethnicites faced genocide in history too
And theres nothing anti semitic about stating the fact that jews are one of the most powerful ethnic groups and there is no systematic anti semitism that exists today.
It's antisemitic just like saying "all black people are criminals" is racist. You're making a vague generalisation about millions of people.
Real antisemitism is still very much present, and even though it's being massively weaponized by Zionists, it doesn't make it any less true.
And that weaponization is actually working and making the problem a lot worse, because of people like you, conflating real antisemitism with made up antisemitism (criticizing Zionism and Israel is antisemitism kind of fake).
Also I've never said that Jews were the only victims of genocide in history ?
"Its anti semitic" No its not, its like crying about anti white racism (which doesnt exist). Jews are as privileged as whites in the west, thats a fact.
Real anti semitism is what? Why does it need special task force and millions of dollars to combat it? Anti semitism has long became tool of zionists to downplay pro Palestinian movements. Its nothing but jewish exceptionalism in which zohran is engaging in. It does not jeed special attention.
Its like making anti german racism task force while holocaust was going on. Be serious.
I think antisemitism is a real problem today. In my country, the UK, within the last year or so, there was an arson attack on Jewish ambulances in London, and a stabbing attack in Manchester in which two Jewish men were killed. Both incidents seem to have been hate crimes.
Just to point out: I don't support Netanyahu or his government's genocide of Palestinians, but I'm not going to blame all Jews for that, because I'm not racist.
Anybody can be the victim of ethnic discrimination, regardless of how "powerful", or powerless, other members of your ethnic group are.
How about the majority of jews? They literally celebrate in public uproar when a IDF soldier posts a picture of themselves raping a Palestinian prisoner.
Who are you to say what the majority of us think? Plenty of anti-zionist Jews are disgusted by what Israel is doing
And have done what about it, so far? Because last I checked Nazanyahu is still both alive and in power, and every news I check of Yet Another Palestinian Killed shows the Israeli masses cheering.
Talking about feeling offended while others die is easy, dude, but the proof is in the pringles. And bear in mind, this is not just you. Several countries are having similar issues, so it's not like you are the Chosen People to Feel Like That.
Do you support the existence of an israeli state?
Alot of hate crimes happen against other different communities as well. I dont think jews need special treatment. All this rhetoric does is justify the zionist argument of a safe country for jews
I don't think my view of Israel changes the fact that antisemitism exists
Yes, and there are specific programmes to tackle those different types of hate crimes, motivated by Islamophobia, or homophobia, or whatever it might be
None of those hate crimes are addressed as aggressively as anti semitism despite the fact that those are way more prevalent than anti semitism.
