Israel has the world wrapped around it's genocidal finger. Trump likes to talk about how "unfair" it is when other countries get any sort of aid, but Israel has us uprooting everything we've built to AVOID ANOTHER HOLOCAUST while slurping down more aid than Ukraine who is taking on the world's most belligerent superpower

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. 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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
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.

So many people are afraid to say it, but it's Jewish money that's bought them off. You used to be called antisemitic if you talked about Jewish people running everything like it was a conspiracy theory, but the past few years have proven they run things or can buy those who do.
Seeing how so many Israel apologists have so much power is like seeing a headmaster defend the school bully, but much, much worse. they're always like "NEVER AGAIN" about the Holocaust yet they've made a piss poor effort at preventing a genocide that's happening right now and are actively pouring petrol on a fire
The government bundled the law with ban of other groups like a neonazi group to force voting for the law
Force? Don’t think many MPs are being “forced” here.
The complicit media will talk about how those who voted no for proscribing a neo nazi group as a terrorist group instead of saying they voted no to putting palestine action as a terrorist group
No-one’s interested in those obscure groups. Palestinian Action is the story.
No one cares now, but they would be made to care after being blasted with "Parliament votes against considering neo Nazi groups terrorists" headlines 24/7. That was the stick here. I'd still have liked them to take a stand, but this was a pretty coercive tactic.
Not particularly. They could have amended the bill to exclude the one group. Maybe the tabs would try it.
Some politicians tried and the government refused
Unfortunatly mainstream media still have lot of influence on general public intention
And folks say the US is backwards! 🤣 What a joke the UK is.
I don't know what it is about Israel that has made politicians the world over lose their minds.
Europe ia still controlled by racism and neocolonialism
Of course, but, Europe also has a long history of being antisemitic. It just seems weird to me to fall over yourself for an ally that doesn't seem especially valuable. Maybe there is some 4d chess that is lost to a peasant like me.
It is convenient. By claiming unwavering support for Israel you can distract from your own antisemitism and blame it on brown people. This comes in especially useful to ramp up racism against the very same people you blame for your own antisemitism.
Israel plays along in this game, as they profit both from racism against brown people letting them get away with more crimes as well as profiting from cases of antisemitism, as it allows Israel to claim it is needed for Jewish safety.
Which recent Europeen leaders and major parties has antisemitism policies?
How do you define recent?
Let's say last 25 years
By your definition of recent, I don't know if I could. Of course, I don't really agree that 25 years or even 30 years constitutes recent, and my ability to name a specific policy in that time frame doesn't erase nearly 2 thousand years of Anti-semitism in the hearts (and sometimes law) of Europeans.
learn the term PEP
Progressive Except Palestine.
they are all nice and progressive but as soon as Palestine comes out, they flip flop or go full right wing and change sides.
That doesn't explain why though.
lobbying.
they support the more leftist lobbied options.
The turd doesn't fall far from the ass
At least this is just one group of palestine supporters. In the US you get deported for any sign of support for palestine.
Another hearing is scheduled for 21 July when Palestine Action will apply for permission for a judicial review to quash the order. In the meantime, and unless the judicial review is successful, membership of, or inviting support for, the group will carry a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison.
So they have a hearing, and presumably legal representation, but they can't legally have any members at the time of the hearing? What a load of shit.
Seems a good way to destroy the legitimacy of the government. That's not representing the will of the people.
