Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in [email protected]. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
(This list may get expanded when necessary.)
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @[email protected], @[email protected], or @[email protected].

You are asking for a beating, regardless of you being Israeli or not, when yelling stuff like that.
This is hilariously hypocritical.
Pro-Hamas mobs have been marching on our streets and occupying our college campuses for over a year, screaming genocidal chants and telling Jews to go back to Poland. Our businesses and synagogues have been vandalized, firebombed, and shot at. But now all of a sudden one group of unruly soccer fans and you're all, "Well, they were saying bad stuff, they got what's coming to them."
By the way, this was a planned and coordinated attack. Not a spontaneous angry response. https://x.com/stop_jew_hate/status/1854881566553411612
As a question, are you just labelling everyone who finds the behavior of the Israeli government/war cabinet despicable as "pro-Hamas"?
No, people who celebrate terrorism and call for globalized intifada are "pro-Hamas"
This isn't rocket science here. Can you show me a single Palestinian rally where there was anything resembling peaceful "criticism of Israel?"
There are good reasons to demonstrate against the actions of the Israeli government. There is also a lot of antisemitism both in the Arabic and the Western world. I also have no doubt that both camps at times organize together, especially when organizers are careless. But just going out and stating that there have never been peaceful, critical demonstrations which don't grab headlines is imo a bit much. (Ftr, you won't be able to reply here.)
