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.

Kinda weird to go to court over that. How about you respect the decision of the memorial in the first place.
The decision of the genocide memorial to support genocide?
Who said the memorial is supporting genocide? Are you nuts?
The people who run the memorial and the German government.
Wild assumption. Supporting the state of Israel does not equal supporting a genocide.
🤔
Do you support this?

Right, and supporting Anders Breivik does not equal supporting a mass shooting. Are you even reading what you're writing?
How about you let people wear whatever pattern of scarf they want instead.
It's not about a scarf pattern. The person suing the memorial had repeatedly tried to use the memorial site for their orthodox communist propaganda and already got banned from it for that. To sue the memorial now is just another escalation and intentionally making it look like the bad Germans are banning Palestinians.
The director of the memorial personally said, that people wearing a Kufiyeh are not generally banned, but can be banned because of it. The headline/article is just misleading and sensationalism.
Where did you get this info? The article mention none of that
Nice excuse from him after the internal document was leaked Israel lover using the same tactic when they got exposed
Nobody is claiming Germans are all bad and support Israeli terrorism just the government
Translate it yourself.

The organization is notorious for being dogmatic, authoritarian communists that in the past praised the Hamas as legitimate "resistance" and interrupted events at the Buchenwald memorial.

There is zero proof that the woman who was blocked from entering the memorial had any connection to the organization . Seem like the organization you mentioned used that event to spread their antisemitism. The memorial employers also help their case by associating kufiyah as antisemitism and trying to conflate antizionism with antisemitism. The kufiyah was never an anti jew slogan it's a symbol of the inherit right of any group of people to living freely. It is even recognized by UNESCO
I should also remember you that in Buchenwald concentration that 11000 jews was massacred but also 45000 non jew . So who those memorial staffs are to say the Palestinians getting genocide and people who oppose this genocide to use this memorial as an occasion to say massacres and genocides should never happen again no matter who is the victim This is an humanitarian and moral statement not a political one
I also wonder why no organization associated with settlers terrorists in the west bank oppressing Palestinians are in Germany terrorist list
