UK police probe Bob Vylan's festival chants against Israeli military, as US revokes band's visas

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

wrote on last edited by [email protected]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.
The door.

Any comment advocating the destruction of Gaza or the Palestinians absolutely gets removed, fortunately there have been far fewer of those.
Similarly Russian and Chinese propaganda about Ukraine and the Uyghur genocide is also removed.
Speaking of Russian propaganda, is saying "Russian soldiers invading Ukraine should be killed" also bannable?
-
What a shitty article. It's so heavily biased in favor of genocide.
What did you want them to say? It’s not an opinion piece.
-
Meanwhile, the nazi IDF can come and go and take a break from genocide in the US and the rest of the these European countries
I wonder what the term is for anti-palestinian? The equivalent to anti-Semite but for Muslims I guess? Just Islamophobia? That doesn't have a good ring to it. We need a good term to use that Palestinians can play the racist card with for the next 100 years like Israel does.

Saying anyone should be killed is removable, not bannable.

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'm sure "death to the IDF" is what some people have issues with rather than "free Palestine"
chanting death for any group idendity en mass will always be controversial, even if it's for Nazis
No, chanting death to Nazi was never controversial. It wouldn't even be controversial if it was death to the Russian army .
You are denying Palestinians right to self defense by opposing the chant death to the IDF
-

So is saying "Ukrainian should beat the Russian army" "removable", then?
-
I guarantee you can find droves of zionists that say "free Palestine" implies the destruction of Israel and is therefore antisemitic.
I know many zionists in my neighborhood Facebook group getting mad about events rising fund to Palestinians

“Death, death to the SS!”?
What would it have accomplish? What does it accomplish?
It gets Lemmy known as a hotbed of terrorism. It may cause legal and/or political trouble for the admins of the site. And what does it do that other words don't?
Look at all the discussion here and consider how it is or isn't limited. What's happening in Gaza is a genocide. The IDF is responsible for it. What do death chants contribute to that conversation?
controversies make people talk so they never forget what is happening in Gaza and who is responsible for . Denying the right to say death to a terrorist army committing a genocide is to deny Palestinians the right to self defense .
-
To be honest I had never heard of Bob Vylan before, so the people screaming they should be banned (so they dont become known?) reached the opposite effect, at least for me personally.
-
Calling for death of any group is not allowed.
You can't stop the mouvement and Palestinians has the right to self defense whatever you like it or not

wrote on last edited by [email protected]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?
-
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.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Death to Israeli apartheid. Death to the institutions that uphold the Israeli Apartheid. Death to the institutions that uphold the occupation, the disposession and the genocide of Palestinians. Death to the structures that maim the humanity of both the colonizers and the colonized.
Long live all the people who live in Palestine from the river to the sea. Long live the children, the life, all children, all life, Muslim, Jewish, Christian, and other. Palestinian, Druze, Bedouin, Samaritan, Mizrahi, Ashkenaz, Sephardic, and other.

Doesn't matter. Calling for violence against any group is against TOS.
Your TOS do not prohibit it. It only prohibit call for violence against racial, ethnic groups and any minorities

Whatever it is, the only way to win this battle is for people to start using that new word to call out people who are quite obviously hateful. With enough use of the word over the years, it will have the same shameful effect as what they have done with the word the other side uses

wrote on last edited by [email protected]You're bubbled, it's undeniably controversial to chant death to people, especially groups of people. By debating it you agree it's controversial, do you even know what the word means?
Please don't try to say I'm denying Palestinans the right to self defence because I don't want to chant death to their oppressors. My friend, that's a wild statement and you should pipe down
Next you're going to tell me I'm pro Russia because I don't agree Putin should be assassinated
