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.

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.

That’s fine, antisemitism is wrong, as long as he isn’t going to start supporting Nehtanyahu or Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 40 points 1 month ago

He has clearly been against that.

And remember, the Palestinians are a semitic people, too, so it's Israel doing the anti semitism here.

He had looked into whether or not he'd have the authority to have netanyahu arrested when he visited. Doesn't seem he's likely to back him

He's had the chance to prove himself through action. So he has gained enough trust from me to wait and see what he's up to. This is the perfect way to push through actual hate crime legislation in the current media-corporate climate.

"Hey! If this is a hate crime to do to a Jewish person, it's a hate crime to do it to a queer person or a POC."

"Oh, you don't like this law? Why do you hate the Jews?"

Love to see!

Though I do hope protecting synagogues doesnt apply to protestors taking issue with synagogues organizing the auction of Palestinian land. If I'm not mistaken thats a thing mamdani has gotten wrong once, I'd like not to see him get it wrong again.

Hating and persecuting people for being Jewish is a scourge that must be rooted out. Taking issue with the way that certain Jewish groups in the US back the genocide happening in Gaza is a moral imperative. We must do both.

  • Give me a Jew. I like them. They're smart and funny.
  • Fuck the Israeli. Exists only for power and money.

Some Israelis are Palestinian Arabs/Muslims. The issue isnt people born in Israel either. The issue is zionism which is a genocidal campaign.

Conservatives: He's picking on us now! That's antisemitic!
