So I posted an article from al Arabiya about Christian villages denying that they asked Netanyahu to annex their villages on World News@lemmy.world.
Jordanlund removed it simply because he don’t like the source. Yet he has no problem with articles from Saudi backed Iranian media https://irannewswire.org/ that also celebrate the terrorist group the MEK that sell out their country to side with Saddam and has no problem with israeli sources that deny the obvious genocide.
LOL - Yeah… “such a Zionist…”

Here’s the problem from a moderation perspective:
The lemmy audience is HEAVILY pro-Palestinian (and everyone should be!)
It is NOT pro-Israel.
So when people roll up breaking the rules about calls for violence, murder, execution they are virtually ALL pro-Palestinian.
There have been comments attempting to justify the genocide which were removed, but they were a vast, vast minority and mostly in the early days when the numbers of dead were still open to question.
Because the removed rule breaking comments lean heavily on the pro-Palestinian side, it gives the appearance of bias.
But I’m not going to let a rule breaking post stand just because I agree with it, or because “Israel deserves it”.
Most of them support resistance against colonialism and genocide and not the target of civilians. You made a fool of yourself by removing death to a colonial power military comments directly involved in genocide
That wasn’t even a community rule, that’s a lemmy.world rule:
https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
"1. Attacks on people or groups
Before using the website, remember you will be interacting with actual, real people and communities. Lemmy.World is not a place for you to attack other people or groups of people. Just because you disagree with someone doesn’t give you the right to harass them. Discuss ideas and be critical of principles. Show the respect you desire to receive.
We do not tolerate serious threats or calls for violence."
(bolding mine)
There is nothing about defending people right to resist the occupying forces
When it comes to calling for death that’s a TOS violation.
It is a call for resisting a colonial power doing genocide. Under international laws palestinians has the right to kill soldiers trying to kill them
They have the right to do that, YOU don’t have the right to call for it on a privately owned network in violation of TOS.
