It's so exhausting, but this is the real antisemitism. When you retaliate against Jews for expressing our political opinions, you're the ones being antisemitic, not the Jews speaking our minds.

It's a damn shame that so many people are incapable of grasping that Jews can be just as critical of the actions of a foreign government as anyone else. In fact, it is antisemitic to assert that Jews must adhere to some shared belief that doesn't reflect our reality or values. When Israel acts like a monstrous murderer, this Jew will always call it out.

Well people should be expelled for their views if their views are disgusting, just in this case they aren't and it is ridiculous but I wouldn't say it is ethically wrong to remove someone with terrible views.

The UK Labour Party is a joke! First they won’t consult with trans people on creating the laws that affect their entire lives and now they’re targeting Anti-Zionist Jews.

Didn’t Kurt Cobain or whatever get reamed sideways and labelled as an antisemite, losing him his spot in the party?

Sounds like a knee jerk reaction after the last time the media portrayed them as antisemites.

I think it was conservative leader David Grohl

- 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.
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.
