British police have launched a criminal investigation into a performance by rap-punk duo Bob Vylan at the Glastonbury Festival on Saturday, when the group led chants of “death to the IDF,” or Israel Defense Forces.
Destroying an army is not an extermination program either. It’s called war. Members of that group can choose to leave that group. It’s called deserting.
Under international law, the UN charter, Palestinians fighting against the IDF, using armed violence against the occupation is a legitimate war. Are you denying the right of Palestinians to fight a war for their freedom?
OK, got it. So, according to you and the rules of the community, Ukraine is supposed to defend itself with strongly worded letters to the editor. Maybe my ancestors who fought for Greek freedom and independence were violent extremists. Even got my comment removed by mod for saying as much. How lovely. The door. Of course.
I hope one day you will realize the double standard that you’re applying to the Palestinian struggle for freedom and how this double standard was part of the things that enable their Genocide. Hopefully by then, there will still be Palestinians in Palestine.
These are contradictory statements, it makes no sense. When you say that “Ukraine can do whatever they need to do [in the face of] an illegal invasion and genocidal statements and actions” YOU are also saying that they can use deadly force. YOU are advocating violence on behalf of Ukraine. But if we flip the bit from Ukraine to Palestine suddenly it breaks the TOS?
The hardest one was when Henry Kissinger died, because, well, Henry Kissinger. LOL. Lots of reminders of “No celebrating death”, but I mean, it WAS Kissinger.
But we’re not talking about killing people. We’re talking about killing an organisation. If someone had said “death to Apple”, that is not the same as “death to Tim Cook and all his employees”.
We specifically ban calls for violence, if you argue “Death to Apple” in an environment where Apple stores are being firebombed, then yeah, we’d remove those statements too.
No, because defunding the police is not an extermination program. Advocate for KILLING cops? That’s going to be removed with a quickness.

Absolutely not, I’m denying lemmy users ability to say anyone should be killing anyone else as per your TOS.
Don’t like it?

The door.
No, Ukraine can do whatever they need to do to throw off an illegal invasion and genocidal statements and actions.
YOU are not Ukraine, and if you’re going to participate here, you will abide by the rules of the community which explicitly do not advocate violence.

I am not, Ukraine is outside this place, what happens outside this place does not need to conform to our rules.
If you’re going to participate, you will abide by the rules.
Palestinian can’t?
Palestine can also do what they want, they aren’t subject to the rules here. The people here will abide by our rules.
I’ll make it super simple:
(Lemmy.World Rules (World.Lemmy.World Rules)) . . . (The entire rest of the world, including Palestine, Israel, Russia, Ukraine… everyone)
If you’re here, you agree to our ruleset. If you’re not here, our rules don’t apply to you.
So if someone say death to hanas you will also remove the post right?
Absolutely correct. No wishing death on ANYONE.

Or, apparently, causing property damage 🤦♂️

You were warned, this is now a temp ban. Continuing to be an asshole will earn a permanent ban.

Oh, I am not defending genocide. That has absolutely nothing to do with it.
I’m defending the rules of this community, which you’re ALSO violating. Rule 6.
