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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

Can't even commit a genocide and go on a cruise undisturbed after, what has this world come to
Are those soldiers or politicians on the cruise?
There is forced conscription in Israel, so yes most of them are usually current or ex IDF soldiers. Aka war criminals...
Yes
Even if there weren’t forced conscription, actions like this force the people from the aggressor country to face the reality of what their government is doing. If they are not welcome to vacation destinations and everywhere they go they are reminded that their country is proudly slaughtering and starving people—if they’re not given any room to pretend things are normal, they will demand an ability to return to normal. They would pressure their govt to stop the genocide.
So even in the case that these people hadn’t been conscripted and were therefore partially responsible for the apartheid being inflicted on Palestinians, this would still be an acceptable action.
Stop the genocide
Make the perpetrators and any supporters uncomfortable and unwelcome until they change.
Things are not normal right now. There is literally another holocaust happening. As we sit here typing on our phones. And you are defending the perpetrators. Only thinking of these people here as “Jews” and therefore the perpetually victims no matter what is what’s actually antisemitic.
You are joking, but the answer is yes.
Most of the passengers served in the IOF, most of them likely war criminals
Apartheid countries that practice conscription have very few adult civilians.
Taking action against Israel is not antisemitic. As an anti-zionist Jew, I really don't appreciate people conflating the two.
Is this taking action against Israel or against israelis. Would you be fine if your country's government did something and then people who you dont know were aggressive towards you?
How does this action help Palestine in any way?
Greece is the most antisemitic, non muslim majority, country in the world. I am greek btw.
That's been my whole life as an American. It's part of the reason I try to convince my fellow Americans to stop voting for the terrible things we do.
Don't confuse hatred towards Israelis, Israeli policy, and Israeli supremacists with hatred towards jews in general. There is a difference.
Anti-Semitic comments should be reported, they will be removed.
Comments against Israeli policy and war crimes are allowed to stand.
Fify
You’re not an organic Jew, who is paying you to push this fucking bullshit that you like to spread around here, victimize yourself elsewhere you Fucking weirdo
I am no jew, i am a German christian and i recognize the patterns the so called "Palestine supporters" are using to spread their hate for Israel's actions towards jews. You all who celebrate that this ship was turned away would have been proud Nazis back in the day. Think about yourself and think about where you would have stand in the 40s.
I AM JEWISH, lived in Israel, and will say that clearly
fuck you
Free Palestine
You are implying that genocide is a Jewish thing because protesting it is a protest against Judaism. In such case you are a massive antisemitic troll.
ISREAL WILL AND NEVER BE A REPRESTATION OF JEWS.
See, according to Germany's political establishment and mainstream, you, an actual Jew, are antisemitic. The German establishment knows better than you. And there is absolutely nothing creepy or antisemitic in them telling you you're a bad Jew.
Edit: not to mention that this person right here is probably feeling immense satisfaction at having been downvoted to oblivion. Because they are likely perceiving this whole thing as them taking a brave stand against antisemitism. This is them being pure rational Germans against antisemitic irrationality. That's where we're at.
Meanwhile Israel is operating exactly as Nazi Germany in trying to eliminate an entire population. Those saying that this should not be commented on are complicit and actually are the same ones that would enthusiastically wave a German flag in the 40s. These are also the ones going after Jews today if they even try to criticize Israel. It's disgusting and you're basically accusing everyone of what you're doing yourself.
Oh shit, a German who supports the ethnic cleansing performed by ICE and the ethnic cleansing performed by Israel. That makes you a literal fucking Nazi.
You're a german christian who sympathizes with ICE. You're clearly more than a fan of your grandparents' belief while the Fuhrer was around.
Seriously yall. Go back track through their profile. This is a person justifying the steps to genocide by being a "concerned german citizen".
You're not even Jewish? You're a German Christian and you're out here trying to tell folks opposed to a genocidal regime what antisemitism looks like??? Get the fuck outta here.
Zionist. The words for you are Zionist and Nazi. Go read the bible fake Christian. Hell or purgatory await, the choice is yours. Not really, you literally are not capable of reading the entire bible so it's not much of a choice.
This is the language that was used by countries not affected by war in WW2 to turn away jews that tried to escape.
Look, man I called what Israel was doing to Palestine a genocide when they first invaded, I really don’t know what point you’re trying to make here, genocide is being done by the Jewish people no matter how you sell it
Genocide is being done by Israel, not the Jewish people.
We should also remember that Hamas was the aggressor, not the Palestinian people. Hamas does not represent all Palestinian people just like Israel does not represent all Jewish people.
History didn't start on October 7th. "Hamas was the aggressor" is a false statement. Hamas is one of the belligerents in a war of occupation that's been going on for a long long time.
Hamas attacking the country illegally occupying theirs does not make them the aggressor. Just a small correction.
Pretty sure the agressor were the countries claiming Palestine in order to turn it into Israel back in 1948.
Germany is participating in genocide again. For the 2nd time in 100 years.
In 50 years there will be another monument in Berlin, apologizing for the victims of the Palestinian genocide.
Israeli != Jew
You're being pretty antisemitic implying are jews are part of that genocidal country
Basic thinking skill:
A) Was the cruise ship turned around because the men were circumcised
B) It's from a genocidal state?
*Hatred towards racist genocidal settlers FTFY
How do you know the religion of cruise boat vacationers? Do they discriminate by religion?
It says Israeli, no religion was mentioned.
Exactly. Conflating hatred of a cruise boat to “hatred towards Jews” is disgusting, and Im calling our that bullshit.
Ah alright. Got you
Yes, more than 25% are not Jewish
Yes, that boat was Jewish, got it wiener diced on birth, and doesn't eat prok.
So the front fell off?
I get the reference
Even if Israel was 100% Jewish that doesn't mean being anti Israel is the same as being anti Jewish. Only if every Israeli is Jewish and every Jew is Israeli are the two equivalent.
Just see all the Jews who are against the current Israeli genocide to understand the distinction.
Every accusation is an admission of guilt with these kinda people.
I hate Daniella Weiss but I love Larry David, does that make me an antisemite? You're the disgusting one, learn to differentiate. You ate nazi propaganda with a spoon in the 30s and you're eating the same from the zionists now. Time to get your shit together. What does Jesus say about starving children, Christian? Why are you condoning genocide, Christian?
What is disgusting I that you are conflating legitimate non violent pressure to the citizens of a genocidal state to do their duty as citizens with hatred towards Jews.
lol I seriously thought this was satire when I read this comment. Then I remembered people are this dense
They are committing mass murder, so I understand the anger.
