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.

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:
Not as many as usual, but Iran is pulling focus right now so that’s not unusual.

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.
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]
Genuinely asking. The articles you posted were GOOD articles, just not appropriate for [email protected]
Folks who make honest mistakes in posting generally just go “Oh, sorry” and re-post it in a place that is appropriate:

Biden supports genocide and so do you.

“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.

(crickets)
You ignore all evidence and then claim there’s none.
Your excuse for banning me means nothing.
