The "see translation" feature for user bios was auto-translating phrases that included "Palestinian" and “alhamdulillah” into "Praise be to god, Palestinian terrorists are fighting for their freedom."

Maybe crawling out of the ocean was a bad idea. /shrug

Things really took a wrong turn earier than that.

"In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."

Really enjoyed those books. Look into quantum drives. They’re basically improbability engines. Reality is ridiculous.

Edit: Okay, the em drive is not what I thought. But the improbability drive was based on quantum theory.

Why apologize for telling the truth

[-] 3laws@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Not all Palestine fighters are associated with terrorist groups. They are regular people like you and me literally fighting for their lives.

[-] Cleverdawny@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Alright. Point me to a Palestinian militant organization not known for supporting intentional attacks on civilian populations

  1. why would I care

  2. even if I did care, he was allegedly a Jewish resident of Roman Judea which is very, very far from an Arab Palestine.

Jesus was a warrior for God and Judaea was part of Palestine.

The territory, excluding East Jerusalem, is also known within Israel by its biblical names, Judaea and Samaria

Dang, what happened? Arms get tired from carrying that goalpost so far?

[-] Cleverdawny@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Wtf am I supposed to say when someone gets weird and aggressive about their preferred religion? No point in discussing anything.

[-] Chozo@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You were the one who started off weirdly aggressive by likening nationality and religious belief to terrorism. What did you expect to happen with such a blanket statement like that?

[-] Cleverdawny@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Bud. There is no Palestinian militant organization which isn't linked to terrorism.

[-] Chozo@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Okay? That's not at all the point of the discussion, though, so why bring it up?

Did you read the article? Or even the very first paragraph?

Instagram was auto-translating user bios that included “Palestinian” and an Arabic phrase that means “praise be to God” to say “Palestinian terrorists are fighting for their freedom,” which the platform says it’s very sorry for.

Tell me how your comments are at all relevant.

Fatah runs a fund which literally pays the families of suicide bombers. They're not nearly as bad as Hamas, but trying to say they oppose action against civilians is revisionism.

[-] Amity_Noceda@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Idk, raping, kindaping and beheading babies, elders, and killing civilians on sight is not my cup of tea when trying to occupy a land.

[-] Johanno@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

Well usually the winner of a war declares who is a terrorist and who is a revolutionist.

Let's take for example Ireland. While the irish in their history talk about freedom warriors the british called them terrorists.

This conflict in there won't end until either all of one side are dead. There is so much ideology and hate involved and neither are willing to pay the price of peace.

[-] Cleverdawny@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Dude, by any definition of the word, the IRA were terrorists. They targeted civilians with politically motivated violence. That's essentially the definition of terrorism.

There's something here about neither side being committed to peace, but only one of these sides are genocidal nationalist religious extremists. And it isn't the side which has a minority Arab population.
