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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
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.
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.

Open hatred of Jews surges globally, inflamed by Gaza war (www.reuters.com)

Global surge in antisemitic incidents following the conflict between Hamas and Israel, affecting Jewish communities in various countries.
Antisemitic acts range from verbal abuse to physical assaults, often justified by anger over the Gaza conflict.
In areas like the U.S., Britain, France, Germany, and South Africa, antisemitic incidents have increased several hundred percent compared to the same period last year.
Official responses vary, with Western authorities generally quick to support Jewish communities, while some countries like China have not taken steps to curtail antisemitic content online.

Media Bias Fact Check (Reuters):

Overall, we rate Reuters Least Biased based on objective reporting and Very High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing of information with minimal bias and a clean fact check record.

They do not have equal rights, that is just objectively false. Here's an example: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israels-knesset-passes-law-barring-palestinian-spouses-2022-03-10/

The Knesset often passes laws that disproportionately affect Arab Israelis in a negative way.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That law is about naturalization of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza, who are not Israeli citizens.

I think we both agree that the West Bank is not the legal territory of Israel, right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Naturalisation, by definition, involves people who are not Israeli citizens.

It's about Arab Israelis who are married to a Palestinian, which is the only group of people not allowed to naturalise to, and I quote, "preserve the Jewishness of Israel". And of course, Arab Israelis happen to be the one group in Israel who marry Palestinians.

It's a law designed to prevent the Arab Israelis from naturalising their family members, which is a privilege afforded to the Jewish majority. It's designed to keep the Arab Israelis a minority. And that's not speculation, it's literally claimed to be so by the lawmakers who drafted the law.

They have more rights than in any other country in the region.

[–] Gigan 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don't think that's a very high bar

[–] 5BC2E7 2 points 11 months ago

Better than all the alternatives in the region is not good ? I suppose that people who condemn israel would only be ok with them if they had a perfect utopia.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

That's not what "equal rights" means.
