Why is stuff like this allowed but if I were to call for the death of every israeli soldier I would probably get banned?

[-] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago

I've seen "Death Death To The IDF" on here plenty of times. I also don't believe that wishing death on people who participate in unmitigated genocide should be frowned upon.

But they said they wanted the russian soldiers to die, not the russian military to be dissolved. "Death to the IDF" is against the institution IDF not singular soldiers.

And don't forget the dehumanising language which certainly would have gotten me banned if I said the same about Israelis (at least on lemmy.world).

To be fair i DID SAY preferably alive so it's literally true that i did the opposite of call for their death :p They need to go home though. Back home to Russia. Not Ukraine.

That said, I DO IN FACT believe the Jewish peoples should have a safe nation to live in. ISRAEL IS NOT SUCH A PLACE. They should go back to Europe and stop trying to colonize indigenous people. Or hell, I would LOVE for them to live right here in New England! I will in fact NOT shoot rockets at them because I want them to live in peace and safety HERE, FAR AWAY FROM PALESTINE

To be fair, YOU DID SAY „orcs“ to describe Russians, that‘s dehumanization and a type of othering called Russophobia.

Would you? Would think it entirely depends on where you left such a comment

[-] Lileath 9 points 5 days ago

On the neoliberal lemmy.world I would almost certainly at least get my comment removed

[-] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

It's going to get removed any second now just believe in yourself 🙏

[-] Lileath 7 points 5 days ago

Are you intentionally misunderstanding my point? I didn't make any negative statements about people of certain nationalities or ethnicities. I just mentioned a hypothetical to show the racism and hypocrisy of the original commenter and the mods

[-] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago

I in fact am calling for that.

[-] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Making death wishes in general shouldn't be tolerated, I think that's a basic principle to uphold.
