Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
  8. Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
  10. Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.

(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Posts that link to the following sources will be removed

Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com

(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)

Ban lengths, etc.

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)

I genuinely can't figure out if he's doing this in support of Israel or against it. Either is plausible.

At the start of his remarks, Berkowicz used graphic language to describe the war in the Middle East.

β€œJews use the banned phosphorus bomb, which absorbs oxygen from the air and causes children to die by suffocation”, he said.

I think that makes it clear that the polish fascist is against Israel.
Once again an example why some people take justified criticism of Israel as an excause to be antisematic.

Is his claim somehow doesnt align with your views?

[–] liuther9@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So is it them or is it israel being nazi that makes them nazi

[–] Herr_S_aus_H@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

First of, they are fascists. Nobody besides you has said anything about them being Nazis. Both is as bad as you can get but there is a difference.
Second, the guy is a politician of the Konfederacja, a far right, ultra-nationalist, anti-liberal party or in short a fascist party.
Third, the guy dosen't talk about Israel and dosen't critic Israel. He is talking about "the Jews". Israel is a nation and Jews are a religion and ethnicity. Both are distinct from one another and lumping them in together happens only because of antisematic views.

the guy is a politician of the Konfederacja, a far right, ultra-nationalist, anti-liberal party or in short a fascist party.

That's what makes it confusing. The guy is supposed to like swastikas and dislike the Jews. I would also assume he doesn't like Muslims.

And here he uses swastika as a hate symbol to defend Muslim children. I guess this is the broken clock situation.

Could be both "i like what you're doing but fuck you" or "you should have done it differently!!"

[–] marxismtomorrow@lemmy.today 35 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Man nazi infighting is weird.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

#notallfacists

[–] doleo@lemmy.one 3 points 2 days ago

isnt it? I'm thinking that all these 'left infighting' memes are just agitprop. Everyone squabbles over everything.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 11 points 2 days ago

So does this mean he’s for or against Israel? Very confusing.

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Lol if they were far-left I would defos understand them to be against israel (israel is a fascist state), but because they're far right and thus bat-shit crazy, who the fuck knows.

[–] liuther9@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

What do we know about this guy? So far I like his intolerance of tolerating nazis

[–] jenesaisquoi@feddit.org 10 points 2 days ago

Nazis are so stupid.

People are complicated.

Every once in awhile, someone on the far right will do what people on the left should've done a long time ago. A major reason for this is because right-wingers tend to have bigger balls than those on the left. Stop being pussies, y'all.
