supersquirrelThe Palestinian Genocide IS NOT US Politics OK!!!
Insanity of saying the US fueled, funded, and permitted (with the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA even going so far as to say he will help Israel “do what they need to do”) genocide in Gaza isn’t US politics aside, why the fuck would you name your com “politics” and not allow politics from the hundreds of other countries?
Name your damn com US politics then, and maybe learn about the impacts of US foreign policy and recognize that the imperial hegemonic effects of the USs actions actually are US politics.
JFC that’s a stupid com.
It honestly hurts my brain and I would be more inclined to laugh about it if it didn’t hurt my heart so badly to see discussion of the Palestinian Genocide so clearly silenced by people like Jordan Lund.
jordanlundYou aren’t being silenced, you were re-directed to the appropriate community which is [email protected] , not !politics.

You just banned me from !politics, which would be the definition of silencing?
I temp banned you for three days after you repeatedly failed to follow the clear guidelines I gave you.
When the ban expires, you’re welcome to post US Politics articles back in Politics as you did here (excellent post BTW):
If you insist on posting “Israel bad!” to a community specifically for US Politics, you will get banned again.
Israel / Gaza = Goes in [email protected]
Things actually involving US Politics goes in Politics.
This is why separate communities exist.
Democrats introduce ‘Justice for Hind Rajab Act’ as film about her death gains Oscar buzz - Lemmy.World
> Rajab was a six-year-old Palestinian girl from Gaza whose agonising death at the hands of Israeli soldiers on 29 January 2024 has become symbolic of the widespread violations of international humanitarian law committed during Israel’s genocide in the enclave, where over 72,000 Palestinians have been killed.
To say that Israel and Gaza arent predominant political issues in US politics is just straight up denial
They CAN be political issues, notably AIPAC interference in US elections, but the removed articles has ZERO connection to US Politics which is the stated purpose of [email protected]
Please feel free to review the removed articles, note how none of them mention any connection to US Politics, Policy, or Politicians.

Idk, seems like an article discussing US media coverage of a US political issue is pretty definitionally about US politics
Nope, again, war crimes by Israel is not a US Political issue.
It is when it’s in the context of US coverage and commentary by political actors (not just limited to politicians, but activists, journalists, unions, and corporations (since at least Citizens United)
“It’s not a US political issue if democratic politicians continue avoiding talking about it” is quite the take lmao
Not in the context of of the articles that were removed.
- US Media Coverage of Israel’s Genocide in Gaza*
That second one is quite literally about US political news coverage. It’s in the fucking headline jackass.
No, it is not. Read it reeeeallly closely:
US Media Coverage = Not politics
Israel’s genocide in Gaza = Not US.
Jesus fuck you’re dense.
“A U.S. official with knowledge of American intelligence says Hamas has a command node under the Al-Shifa hospital…”
“Like CNN, NBC News and ABC News similarly quoted White House officials claiming that Hamas had infiltrated hospitals, including Al-Shifa.”
“Western establishment media’s reliance on official assertions helped normalize what should have been unthinkable.”
- U.S. officials making claims being used by Israel to justify war crimes
- US new outlets, who broadly legitimize state department narratives on foreign conflicts and interests, reporting on those claims without validating them
The irony of your editorializing in your moderation decisions would be far more entertaining to me if the reasoning for it weren’t so fucking transparent.
Now, go back to the articles THAT WERE REMOVED and show me where that connection is.
They ARE NOT THERE.
Those are direct quotes from the second article listed that were removed (and still appear to be removed) in the OP for the stated “”“not us politics”“” reason, you unwashed bunghole.
He mods in bad faith for netanyahu. Arguing with him is pointless. He will ignore any provided evidence and make up any excuse for his actions.
US Media coverage IS NOT POLITICS.
Lmao, coverage of what, Jordan? Whose statements are they reporting on?
Certainly not White House officials, that would be hard to claim irrelevant to US politics
They are talking about US media coverage of international affairs, not US politics. None of that is US politics.
Again, perfectly fit for [email protected] as noted, I could see it in [email protected] as well, but there is absolutely NO political angle which means it does NOT go in [email protected]

Let’s not split hairs here, Jordan. They’re reporting on how US media reports on official White House accounting of international affairs, not the affairs themselves. US political actors (both US media and actual White House officials) are the actual subjects of this story, not Israel.
You can complain all you want about the white house being pestered to give their accounting of events in Gaza at all, but it becomes US politics the moment they’re actively engaging in the discussion and the US media is centering them in their coverage. It’s certainly unflattering - i sympathize with why you might be frustrated by the topic, especially after how 2024 went and especially as we prepare for a 2028 campaign.
Israel and Gaza are losing topics for democrats - that much is abundantly clear.
Again, not what the removed article was about. Go back and read it again. Here’s a link in case you forgot:
dawnmena.org/destroying-al-shifa-hospital-robin-a…
The story is about US Media failing to accurately cover Israel’s attack on a hospital.
The media is not US Politics. Israel is not US Politics. Blowing up a hospital in Gaza is not US Politics.
So, 100%, post it to [email protected] where it belongs. Would be a good fit for [email protected] as well.
But again, I have to ask… why continue to argue the point instead of simply re-posting to the correct community? 🤔 It’s almost like they don’t actually care about the story in the first place.
Destroying Al-Shifa Hospital: “The Complicit Lens: US Media Coverage of Israel’s Genocide in Gaza”
The assault on Gaza’s hospitals by Israel — particularly Al-Shifa — unfolded not only as a military campaign but as a media event. Graphic imagery, anonymous intelligence claims and carefully staged briefings shaped how mainstream media reported the destruction of Gaza’s medical infrastructure and presented it to global audiences. In the process, attacks on civilians and health care facilities were framed as contested narratives rather than urgent violations of international law, reflecting Western establishment media’s complicity in Israel’s genocidal assault on the Strip.
The story is about US Media failing to accurately cover Israel’s attack on a hospital
by failing to scrutinize official accounting by US officials
You keep leaving that pretty crucial piece out there kid. The larger story is about how US media is in bed with US state department interests - a relationship with an actual-fucking-textbook term: manufacturing consent
And the reason why it’s important to continue making the problem known here is tbe same reason it was important for activists to show up to Harris/Biden rallies in 2023 protesting US complicity on Gaza. It’s the reason the tide has turned so hard that you have to sit here and pretend like there’s some procedural reason to cut Israel out of the US political conversation instead of just ignoring it entirely.
God save you and the DNC for 2028, because noone else will.
The action is the failure of US News to accurately report an attack by Israel.
by repeating US official statements as fact
The headline isnt “US media reported the time from clocks later discovered to be broken”, it’s “US media reports innocence of serial killer after his mom tells them that he’s totally innocent”
You misunderstand the point, the US Media fails to act critically, but that action is not politically based, it’s corporate based.
If the story were “US Politicians lie about Gaza”, that’s fine, that’s talking about the actions of the US Political sphere.
This story is “US Media lies about Gaza” which is the failure of the US Media.
So, again, absolutely correct for [email protected] but not [email protected]
Here’s an example of a media story that WOULD be fit for Politics, can you see the difference?

LMAO those are the actual two parts of this exact story.
There’s always an excuse to actively censor anything or anyone who makes every centrist’s god netanyahu look bad.
Always.
It’s not censorship to say “this is not the correct community for this, the one you want is over here.”
It is when you mod “over there” and make up excuses for removing anti-genocide content everywhere you can abuse your petty authority.
You must not be looking at the same [email protected] that I am then:

Current anti-Israel posts that are up right now:
I’m sorry you aren’t clever enough to think of excuses for all of them.
I only remove things that break the rules and explicitly state why.
My favorite one recently was in Politics about how China was going to the moon. LOL.
Not US and not Politics. Removed.
I only remove things that break the rules
You remove things you disagree with and torture logic to make an excuse.
Winning any argument with you is “sealioning,” as an example.
You keep talking out of your ass because you got banned. Welcome to PTB!
Biden knew the weapons were being used for genocide, because everyone knew. He sold them anyway. He broke US law to do so.
And you cannot admit that.
Biden can’t be both mentally infirm and an evil genius. LOL.
Biden repeatedly described himself as a Zionist, but meant it in the old use of the term… Supporting a Jewish state in the wake of the Holocaust. Remember, Biden is SUPER old.
Biden supported genocide. Just like you.
LOL. You spout words with zero comprehension.
Let me break it down one last time:
There is a specific definition for genocide, any single one of these is enough to justify a call of genocide:
ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/…/article-2?activeTab
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
Israel in Gaza? ✅
Israel in Lebanon? ✅
The US in Gaza? ❌
The US in Iran? ✅
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
Israel in Gaza? ✅
Israel in Lebanon? ✅
The US in Gaza? ❌
The US in Iran? ✅
© Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
Israel in Gaza? ✅
Israel in Lebanon? ✅
The US in Gaza? ❌
The US in Iran? ✅
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
Israel in Gaza? ✅
Israel in Lebanon? Not yet, give it a minute.
The US in Gaza? ❌
The US in Iran? ❌
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
Israel in Gaza? ✅
Israel in Lebanon? Not quite yet, ETA in 3-2-1…
The US in Gaza? ❌
The US in Iran? ❌
The most you could say is that by NOT acting, the US is guilty of C, but failing to take action is not the same thing as “deliberately inflicting.”
We have laws preventing us from selling weapons that we know will be used for genocide. You may pretend to believe that breaking those laws, as Biden did, is not genocide support. But you know better. Biden supported genocide and you’re pretending he didn’t because you’re a pro-genocide liar.
Prove he knew and did it anyway. Find any public statement allowing Israel to do this. You can’t because he didn’t.
Israel is guilty of genocide, you’re welcome to blame the killers. Don’t blame Biden because you have a hard on to hate America.
Prove he knew and did it anyway.
If he didn’t know, then he was unfit to be president.
Don’t blame Biden because you have a hard on to hate America.
Don’t absolve biden just because you can’t get hard without thinking about dead Palestinian children.
There is your proof fool, Biden’s staff began resigning to try to desperately get the message through.

Also it is pathetic y’all locked the thread on your community but you can’t resist still arguing about it here. Pick a lane.
If I quit my job because I think my boss is a terrorist, it doesn’t mean they actually ARE, just that I believe they are. 😉
The thread in the community was locked because it’s off topic. I always lock removed threads.
But if you REALLY want the conversation, I mean REALLY want it, why have you STILL not posted the removed articles to [email protected]

If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not. - Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. - Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced. - Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service [https://legal.lemmy.world/] UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025 - Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off. - Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time. - Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page. We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned. All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. — #### Lemmy World Partners News [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [https://lemmy.world/c/news] Politics [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [https://lemmy.world/c/politics] World Politics [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [https://lemmy.world/c/globalpolitics] — #### Recommendations - How to spot Misinformation and Propaganda [https://lemmy.world/post/1808282] For Firefox users, there is media bias / propaganda / fact check plugin. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/media-bias-fact-check/ [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/media-bias-fact-check/] - Consider including the article’s mediabiasfactcheck.com/ [http://mediabiasfactcheck.com/] link
Biden supports genocide and so do you.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitchens's_razor
“What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.”
Convenient from the guy who deliberately ignores every last bit of evidence that Biden supports genocide.
List to date:
(crickets)
What can be proven is Biden had power over Netanyahu, Biden knew the reality of the Genocide and had the easy capability to learn all he wanted, and he chose to do nothing but attack leftists for bringing it up.
That is enough to damn someone to going to hell, so I am fine with just evidence of that.
Biden had NO power over Netanyahu.
foxnews.com/…/israel-netanyahu-biden-war-counsel
Netanyahu says he ignored Biden's war counsel – and threats that Israel would be 'left alone' without US help
Netanyahu made no secret of his feelings toward Joe Biden after Donald Trump was elected this month, publicly revealing he'd ignored the current U.S. president's counsel and threats to withhold aid.
If I quit my job because I think my boss is a terrorist, it doesn’t mean they actually ARE, just that I believe they are. 😉
Not the point I was making, the point I was making was Biden knew and so did his staff.
The thread in the community was locked because it’s off topic. I always lock removed threads.
Why are you still discussing it then?
Further, a defense of removing a post because it was off topic when my criticism was that the rules are biased, broken and fundamentally inconsistent with logic is not a rebuttal but a doubling down on the very structure I am pointing out is problematic.
But if you REALLY want the conversation, I mean REALLY want it, why have you STILL not posted the removed articles to
Because I am advocating for people to boycott these communities given the extremely problematic and broken moderation of them. In short, why would I post there, y’all have broken my trust.
Moderation isn’t broken. You broke the rules and went into whiny little bitch mode instead of putting the appropriate story in the appropriate community as directed.
Which means, as I suspected, you’re only interested in the drama and not actually the genocide or promoting news stories. Good to know!
I have continued to post on the topic but unfortunately because you and the Lemmy World moderation team have been so toxic I have decided to begin removing myself from Lemmy.World communities to post elsewhere with actual adults running their mod team and that would never let you near power in a million years given your immature, childish and hateful behavior.
Personally I want to emphasize that you are hurting people with your immaturity and broken ideology, this is not abstract and you will not be remembered kindly for your part here.
As long as Biden didn’t come out and say “I’m selling weapons for genocide” as he was selling weapons for genocide, Jordan will pretend in the worst possible faith that biden didn’t support the genocide he spent the last year of his presidency supporting.
It is also a dumb argument because WHY would Biden do that? It is an argument gesturing at an alternative that makes no sense.
He knows Biden supported genocide. He knows his arguments to the contrary are ridiculous. He also knows that he can abuse his petty authority to enforce an echo chamber in which contradicting his obvious ridiculous argument is forbidden.
He’s here to gloat about his pro-genocide fiefdom.
