I don't like this meme. Not because of the politics involved or anything, it just doesn't make sense.

I know it's supposed to be a subversion of "They're the same picture", but now the conversation doesn't work anymore.

Corporate wants you to find the difference between the two pictures, not just confirm that they are indeed different. They know that.

I got banned for something similar earlier today. I think a bad mod is having a really bad day here.

FOURTEEN days ban for stating the facts that over 70% of the Israeli people want the Netanyahu government gone and that more than half of the people in Gaza weren't even BORN the last time there was an election, let alone old enough to vote. No warning, didn't even let me know about it. I had to check the modlog to find out what was going on.

I guess nobody's gonna read this, though, unless the appeal I sent to a mod worked..

Edit: yay, seems it did! Weird that the reversal isn't showing up in the modlog, though..

Even appealing to basic reason regarding international conflicts got me banned from World News. Pretty sure I can only talk on World now. Didn't care enough to check the mod logs lol.

Of the two times I've been banned (the first one was legitimate but overly harsh: 3 day ban for breaking the "be excellent to each other" rule in Technology by coming in WAY too hot on someone who might have just been honestly ignorant rather than anything malicious), neither carried any warning or message, so I had to check the modlog to find out why my comments were missing and I was getting an error message 🤷

That’s probably exactly what happened.

Anyway, I’m glad you reposted. This is a good point that people need to remember.

Reddit is just another Israeli propaganda hole pretending to be objective and fair. All those stereotypes of the "Jews are controlling the media" sure are not being dismissed with their handling of the latest crisis information coming out. At this point I give zero fucks for Israel or funding them anything, it's not good seeing US arms destroying innocents, and that includes our shitty foreign policy on other nations. We need to stop acting like petulant angry chimps.

“Jews are controlling the media”

"The US bourgeoisie control the anglophone media and Israel is their aircraft carrier in the middle east"

I hate how much people are able to channel antizionism into antisemitism, and how Israel actively encourages it.
