The Article.

As far as the mod action here go, it signals that this is not a place for actual discussion and shareworthy news.

They are proving that their community is not for learning news and seeing stuff you would not otherwise had know it. This is a community to share only the things we all know/believe in.

The article is by CNN based on about 80 pages report by Dinah Project and shared and discussed by other outlets:

And other outlets.

The conclusion for me here is clear.

I normally hate on world news, in fact I have blocked it for quite a while out of disgust.

But this is a correct call, they did good here. The source is bad, it’s widely known to be propaganda, and its uncritical spread by USA mainstream media is a seen as a massive failure of journalistic integrity.

In other words, if the world news mods see this as a bridge too far, then other pro Israeli people should use caution when passing this blindly.

If one wants to know more about the hostages and what they suffered, read independent Israeli media instead.

YDI. It's Israeli propaganda meant to justify Israel's ongoing atrocities.

[-] Pro@reddthat.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

It's Israeli propaganda

You got any proof of that?

[-] SheeEttin@lemmy.zip 24 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, an independent investigation source would be preferred. This was removed because the investigators were not independent.

[-] Pro@reddthat.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

What's "independent" .

I am asking because I shared a lot of times reports( about Israel crimes) from middle east focused entities and no one had told me they are not independent.

[-] rumimevlevi@lemmings.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

What's "independent

Like amnesty which their reports focus on all crimes regardless who commit it. Amnestry has report about israel, russia , iran, china , hamas etc

YDW, you should be fucking banned for trying to excuse genocide.

All those sources are knowm to lie for zionist propaganda. Take your hazbara lies elsewhere. The sea, perhaps, as you walk into it?

I genuinely think better of /worldnews for removing this. The fact they didn't ban you for advocating violence is evidence they're still licking boot though.

[-] Pro@reddthat.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

trying to excuse genocide.

Where exactly did I do that?

[-] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 weeks ago

You are a blight upon the world. Leave.

Idk how anyone can look at that source, the Dinah project and not see them as propaganda.

What part makes it look trustworthy to you?

Oh and the fact it has Gal Godot on the board

Or that they just made a book calling it their report

[-] 6nk06@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

It's on the front page. Also sealioning is bad.

[-] FelixCress@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

YDI.

You posted a propaganda piece and you are moaning about it being removed as a propaganda piece.

[-] Pro@reddthat.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

How is this a "Propaganda"?

How does this relate here?

[-] FelixCress@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

How does this relate here?

Have a think.

[-] Pro@reddthat.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Have a think.

Thank you, I don't need any drink.

So what where you saying?

[-] FelixCress@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

what where you

Where what?

[-] FreudianCafe@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 weeks ago

Newly created account makes drama when called out for being an apologist for a genocidal entity

[-] Pro@reddthat.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Newly created account

LOL

makes drama when called out for being an apologist for a genocidal entity

Where exactly was I " an apologist for a genocidal entity" ?

[-] frenchfryenjoyer@lemmings.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

YDI. the claims you made are either debunked or lack sufficient evidence (source) I'm not too familiar with AP News but I do know the other three sources you listed are known for promoting IDF / Israel propaganda

[-] Lyra_Lycan 5 points 2 weeks ago

Associated Press is usually good. It's US based but it's usually unbiased and just reports facts. Their reporters were banned from entering the American presidential jet and palace almost as soon as Trump took office, so that should give an idea as to where AP's loyalties lay.

[-] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

They have reported the IDF's statements as facts in the past though.

[-] masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, look... hasbara is butthurt because people weren't tolerating their white supremacist propaganda.

Yawn.

[-] Pro@reddthat.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

white supremacist propaganda.

Words have meaning my dude.

[-] masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, look… hasbara is still butthurt because people weren’t tolerating their white supremacist propaganda.

[-] Pro@reddthat.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

their white supremacist propaganda.

Words still have meaning.

[-] masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, look… hasbara just can't stop being butthurt because people weren’t tolerating their white supremacist propaganda.

[-] Pro@reddthat.com 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Don't break your arm stroking yourself, bro.

Enjoy it, alone.

I rather live in the real world.

[-] masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, look… hasbara is now sulking because people weren’t tolerating their white supremacist propaganda.

This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.


Posting Guidelines

All posts should follow this basic structure:

  1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
  2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
  3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
  4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
  5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Rules


Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.

Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
