A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.
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.

Gonna say it, this REALLY feels like a case of the news cherry-picking what parts of a protest they show. Between the unreasonable viewpoint that's directly adjacent to a very sensible and popular viewpoint and the fact we KNOW the media have a very vested interest in trying to push pro-genocide narratives (such as anti-Israel protests being pro-terrorist)...
Yeah, even someone as gullible as me? I'm not buying this.
This is the telegraph.
Imagine Boris Johnson dressed in tweed and living in a cottage in Devon
That's their reader base
UK news sources are very prone to behaving like that, if you ever spent time in r/GreenAndPleasant it's shocking how much UK news you dont hear about. Anything vaguely anti-crown just doesn't get coverage. Or protests in general.
It's part of why they media bias bot is laughable given it considers BBC unbiased

Do you remember the "Sir you are being hunted" indie game? That is what i imagine the bot to look like, wearing tweed and living in his evil robot cottage.
Among the placards on display on the London march was one showing a silhouette of Nasrallah, with the words “We will not abandon Palestine”.
One example. One.
Others declared: “Hezbollah are not terrorists” and “I love Hezbollah”.
How many? How many out of the entire crowd?
The placards were on prominent display, despite the Metropolitan Police warning on Friday that it would crack down on any displays of support for prescribed terror groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah.
What does "prominent display" mean in the context of a public protest?
They had two photos of such signs, clearly from the same group of people. Which must be a pretty small group considering that is the entirety of their evidence.
Frankly, I'm weighing deleting this article as misinformation.
Fun fact. There were known neonazis around Shandon Simpson with a Hezbollah flag at the Protests at the DNC convention like a month or two back and far right media in the anglosphere, some pro Netanyahu outlets in Israel and zionist "journalists" in Germany used this as "proof" how the protestor were all terrorists. Meanwhile there were videos where the carriers were interviewed and it was painstakingly obvious to be neonazi trolls aiming to sow dissent and create these kind of images. Even the ADL recognized the culprits.
I have written something in my substack about it (in German) if anyone is interested. The images and a tweet of the ADL alone are enough to tell the key aspects of the story. https://salehdt.substack.com/p/taz-fallt-auf-rechtsextreme-trolle
"Allah is above them"
Maybe, but the flying spaghetti monster is even higher!
Really? You love militants who would probably rather kill you than have a coffee with you?
I mean, they are picking militants who are opposing genocide. Choosing 'would rather kill you' over 'are killing you' is logical in a limited context.
Oh, trust me, those militants are very much pro-genocide, they just haven't quite figured out a way to be successful at it.
Oh, trust me
No thanks, guy who thinks the average person in Hezbollah wants to inexplicably kill a random British person rather than have coffee with them.
Zionism is a supremacist ideology. They're not interested in having coffee with me.
