All from in this thread in [email protected] about a chant at a British music festival where an artist said “death, death to the IDF”.

After other users were quoting that chant in the comments and had comments removed and banned, the hero of our story, @[email protected] (appearing as “acargitz”) pointed out that under international law, fighting an occupying force is legitimate. But apparently not under world news rules, as their removed comments and the many explanations from mods make clear in the thread.

Equally against the rules is the call for the eradication of an organisation or business, even without an explicit call to violence against individual members of the business.

In the same thread: user @[email protected] had comments removed for being anti-American “(again)”, though I couldn’t see the first time. It’s not even clear to me how the removed comments were anti-American.

Bonus points for the “DC Comics” removal reason. Though this seems to be incompetence, rather than malice.

    Sure they do,

    Do you accept that IDF is an occupying force and therefore Palestinians have right to kill IDF soldiers - and call for IDF to be killed?

      They can, BUT NOT IN OUR COMMUNITES.

      Get this through your thick head:

      Online forums are not the real world. They have their own rules and guidelines. What you do in the real world and what you are allowed to say in one of our forums ARE NOT THE SAME THING.

        Because you are a Zionist and you only allow Israel to claim “self defence” as per your other comment?

        Get this through your thick head

        Get it through your thick skull: Palestinians calling for killing IDF is a self defence. Israel calling for “self defence” is not a self defence at all - it is a call to murder yet more civilians including children.

        Actions matter, sweetie.
