General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Is it as disturbing as your continued genocide, you maniacal bastards?
Nazi German embassy is deeply upset by British Americans wanting to kill mazis
I'm deeply disturbed by the genocide the IDF are perpetrating in Gaza.
Is this how the media would have reacted if you got on stage in the ‘40s and shouted death to Hitler?
Feel like civilians in this country are being held to higher standard for speech than a whole ass Country is being held to for its actions.
Always have been
Ya but did you ever consider all the morals and values they taught the younger generations, (post boomers and most individuals who were positioned to benefit from the internet boom) was just another weapon used by capitalism? Things like the Golden Rule, protecting those weaker than ourselves, equality, love, etc were lessons those older than us had no intentions of following. They crushed their opponents and ensured no younger generation would ever be powerful enough to overthrow them.
Someone should put a big mirror on an easel in front of the embassy. Nothing more, no explanation.
Aw did the mean words hurt them? Israel's actively ordering bombings of children and shootings of starving mothers. It's like saying "Death to the wehrmact"
While I agree that the chant might be a bit crass, I think it's his right to say it. He's saying the army and what it does is shit, and should suffer. I find it very discouraging that such a statement is called antisemitic. The way you frame it is exactly how I see it, it's death to the abusers, to the killers, the soldiers. It's about the violence committed by the army.
It would be as if The Andrew Sisters at a gig in 1943 shouted "Death to the wehrmacht", and people reacted with "well that's quite anti-german innit?". No it's not, it's anti Wehrmacht, just like his chant has something specifically to do with the IDF, not with Israelis.

Israeli embassy 'deeply disturbed'
Oh gosh, I am so sorry, nevermind.
You know what is deeply disturbing? Murdering and starving civilians, including children.
So far they have shot 14 people waiting for food today. including 3 children. this is just today, and so far.
Aw poor baby
israeli embassy can fuck off and stop committing genocide
stop doing genocide then you nazi fucks
Herzlians will be more offended by this comment—likening their régime to the Third Reich—than they’ll be offended by the indisputable evidence of the IOF exterminating civilians.
I am 'deeply disturbed' by nazionism.
It's funny that the chud line is to question the loyalty of the festival goers, when they're going to bat for an organisation that murdered three British citizens last year.
Thoughts? Death to the IDF. 
Israeli embassy: "hey don't shame butchering children, it is in our cultural traditions k?"
They should be more worried about the thousands cheering when he said it. Seems Isntreal is losing the narrative and, once los1t, will be damn near impossible to reclaim.
I don't know anything about any of this, but I know the name Bob Vylan is just goddamn fantastic.
They're worth checking out, because they're fucking great.
We Live Here is incredible.

oh no!
anyway
I'm deeply disturbed from seeing all the war crimes and snuff film-like videos coming from Gaza every day because of the modern day Wehrmacht but Palestine instead of eastern Europe. Fuck the entirety of IDF and those who support this shit.
They can blow it out their ass like the flames sputtering out of that APC that got iced
It’s afraid! 
Death to piSSrael, Death to the IDF 
fuck these dumb ass pigs. they’re killing innocent civillians by the tens of thousands and they want us to feel sympathy for them
i hope every motherfucker in the IDF somehow contracts cancer and suffers for the rest of their miserable lives. fuck these people
Whilst I'll never agree with such chants, see the thing is whilst this embassy official might not give two shits about the amount of wanton death being inflicted by the IDF, others do.
Why the fuck not?
Agree with such chants?
You start your chart with 'death to..' then you're playing the wrong game.
I'm not playing games. Are you that concerned about the feelings of Nazis?
It's an expression fgs. I care not about the feelings of Nazis. I do, however, care a lot about how far we are willing to degrade ourselves in order to defeat them.
And aside from anything else, you are just helping the enemy with this kind of utterance. Look what's happened since, it's been turned into 1) a big stick to smash the bbc with 2) calls to legislate on artistic freedoms 3) antisemitism the topic of the day everywhere again. What about 4 and 5? 4) raise awareness of the genocide 5) actually help palestinians in a more tangiable way
How did we do on 4 and 5?
Well I tell you what's a more interesting question, because if they had just said 'Free Palestine' and 'send your aid money here' or even 'stop the genocide' or something similarly not technically illegal to broadcast, then how different would 4 and 5 be to what they are now? because they'd come without the expense of 2, maybe not 3 either, and as for 1, the BBC would actually have a leg to stand on defending themselves.
So why spoil it for everyone and take two big steps backwards? How about we use language that doesn't make us sound no better than they are?
israel committing genocide in gaza is a game?
I left America because both major parties form a sinister coalition that is inimical to the interests of the electorate.
Joke's on me, I guess.
