Right Wing Extremists/ White Nationalists are going to have a field day in this new era of Islamophobia and Antisemitism. It’s very worrisome for both groups.

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.

MODERATORS
You can see them infiltrating the dialogue around the conflict, on both ends. It's forcing groups to self police themselves and be wary of wolves in sheep's clothing. Which I mean, everyone should do anyway, but the bigots have made it require a lot more scrutiny.
I know there's a temptation to blame this on the current conflict in the Middle East, but I'll repeat what I've said in one of the other threads: the sad reality is that most women are murdered by men they know, and primarily by current or former intimate partners. Especially since, per the article
Police believe the crime took place inside her home.
The location that this took place in is a small community of semi connected residences that is largely lived in by people who are part of Detroit politics, university professors or upwardly mobile young professional families. This didn't happen in a place where there is a large density of Jewish people (suburbs to the north-west) or where there is a large density of Arabic Muslims (Dearborn being off to the West.) The victim was both a religious leader and a political operator, very much involved in the Michigan Democratic machine. She had just been to a wedding the night before with Stephanie Chang, a local State Senator, and was friends with everyone from our Attorney General to multiple members of congress.
This isn't a place that it's likely that a crime like this would happen randomly, nor would it really be a great spot to try to commit a targeted murder. The units are connected, the area is dense and tightly knit. I can say this confidently because I've been there both as a residents guest and have canvassed the neighborhood multiple times before.
This is no good...
May her memory be a blessing.... I hope that the community she is a part of will find peace in the coming days, months, and years
Suggestion: Make it worse - Make it worser
Shit these images are getting annoying.
... and fixed the problems in Gaza one and for all.
Sounds like it was someone she knows, considering the location. Does she have an ex or other such person?
