    I mean that’s a fair concern, but within just the last three days Britain stopped negotiations with Israel over a trade agreement, IDF soldiers shot at/near European diplomats in the West Bank, Britain, France and Canada threatened sanctions, the EU started reviewing its trade agreement with Israel, and before all that you had the Eurovision debacle. I get what you’re saying, but Israel just keeps doing shit that would show up in Europe comms, probably against their better judgement.

      Ooooo, now do we get to debate whether Britain is in the European continent? In the European Union? Or did they brexit this new community?

      It’s just pretty obvious that this guy was angry about Feddit.org not allowing Holocaust denial and other antisemitic posts on their platform. Forking c/Europe over it and saying

      bear in mind that encouragement or apologia of genocide is not allowed.

      shows pretty clearly what kind of comments you can expect there and in which direction the wind blows

        Yeah… no. According to Feddit’s current rules you can’t call for the overthrow of Israel, compare them with Nazi Germany (check this if you think that comparison doesn’t have weight), encourage non-peaceful resistance against their occupation or even say “from the river to the sea”. This is pretty blatant censorship. I got a warning from the mods before for saying that Israel should be overthrown and replaced with one democratic state encompassing all of Palestine.

        Yeah… also no. That’s so that Zionists don’t think they get to say “yeah the war is bad but Israel has a right to defend itself” or some shit without getting the ban hammer. I have never seen the kind of comments you’re talking about in much more radical communities than c/Europe.
