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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

The far left has created a climate in which there is no consequence for antisemitism as long as the perpetrator is also anti-Israel.
Israel, not the far left, has created the atmosphere itself by not obeying international laws, geneva convention or any other law that doesn't benefit the zionist agenda.
Holy shite, you've finally gone full mask off!
When haven't they been???
This particular mod? I only saw what they do in modlog, most people don't seem to look? This is the first time I saw the mask slip in public!
Oh they've always been like this whenever the article is critical of Israel
I never saw it. I just saw them delete posts critical of Israel. Is this that Kaplan guy?
Nah completely different one
Just making sure. Oops all Nazis
Amazing how it works 🙃
The term "antisemitism" has been thrown around so much by Netenyahu and his administration that it has lost all meaning. Much like the boy who cried wolf, the word has lost all meaning, especially so in a world where it is European colonial settler Jews like Netenyahu performing an active genocide against a Semitic population in the Palestinian people.
Does this make the settler European ruling caste of Jews in Israel the real anti-Semites?
This is a guy who has publicly and gleefully called religious Jews "inbred." I would love to see just one anti-racist say that this man has no place in the movement.
What you are calling "religious Jews" are typically referred to as "ultra orthodox Jews". These communities tend to not marry outside of their community leading to decreased genetic diversity and an increased number of recessive genetic conditions due to the created genetic bottlenecks. These communities have as a result had to resort to pre marital genetic screening services like Dor Yeshorim due to the high levels of local inbreeding in these communities.
So Mr. Piker was not lying when he was referring to the high levels of inbreeding in these communities. You need to question why your anger has led you to jump to the accusation that this man is a racist when he was stating a well known fact. You can't just go around accusing everyone you don't like of being anti semites or racists because eventually you just look uneducated and reactionary.
There are very real reasons to dislike Israel and Israeli people such as the current and historic genocide against the Palestinian people or their generally disgusting views when interviewed or questioned.
Love you leaving out the orthodox part of quote. But it's also something known and being researched in many groups that tend to stay in their own groups for relationships and children.

Ultra Orthodox draft avoiders, fuck 'em, they are cowarda at least.
Anti-Zionism!=Anti-Semitism.
But calling Jews inbred is antisemitic.
Just look at all of the supposed leftists refusing to distance themselves from this literal antisemitic jerk.
As long as he is also anti-Israel people seem fine to defend him.
He's not Anti-Semitic, and has given many public speeches against Anti-Semitism. I think you need to do some more research and actually listen to him talk instead of making up stuff or repeating what someone else said about him.
Calling what they practice according to their own doctrines?
He called ethno-religious and racial supremacists Israelis inbred not jews. I don't like people calling other inbreed but it was not antisemitic
No, he specifically called Jews who refused to join the IDF for religious reasons inbred. Watch the clip. But I guess keep defending it.
He referred to those ultra-Orthodox sects who support the genocide but do not want to be part of the IDF from a position of privilege. This is similar to Trump avoiding the military draft for Vietnam, not because he opposed the war but because he didn't want to sacrifice his life. He also apologized for using this world. While the UK is allowing people like Eric Zemour who believe in the grand replacement anti Muslims, immigrants and antisemite conspiracy theory and say that Muslims are colonizing Europe .
The groups mentioned are Zionists groups defending Israel's colonial policies and fighting anti genocide and colonization people . They defend israel military actions in Gaza and oppose BDS.

One can say the same for Israel Apologists. People who hate Muslims have created a climate in which there is no way to call out Israel's atrocities without being accused of being an antisemite.
You are accusing Hassan of being an antisemite?
Is it not hillarious that the full blown Zionist is the moderator of /Jewish on .World and does not get banned, but someone else in this thread did get banned for conflating the two
I mean I'm waiting/expecting all the comments replying to them to be removed for arbitrary reasons and everyone else banned
I hate Nazis and their hate.
I don't have an issue with Jews.
I don't have an issue with the existence of Israel.
I DO have an issue with Zionists who take what is not theirs, who kill to further their goals, and who manipulate for furthering their Agenda.
That guy seems to share my views.
I agree with you completely, other than the last line. This is a guy who is unapologetic about making bigoted statements about Jews. He was called out on it and doubled down.
I am bothered by someone speaking out in the guise of being part of my movement thinking it's fine to say things like that. I am even more bothered by apparent throngs of people who refuse to hold any accountability for antisemitic language repeated in YOUR name (specifically referring to Haredi/religious Jews as "inbred")
Why don't you fully quote the line where he called Haredi Jews "inbred"? I'm curious about the context now that you're saying it without any.
What context would make it okay for you?
