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.

Anti-zionist does not equal anti-semitic. Just as being anti-nazi does not mean you are anti-white.
It is amazing how many people understand the second one but not the first one.
The venn Diagram does have overlaps for these groups and unfortunately the loudest most insufferable variants are the ones you hear about the most, the ones that give every side a bad taste in Their mouths.
But good news for everyone, and this guy in particular that there still is a space for his freedom of expression. A well thought out position that holds up to scrutiny should not lead to retaliation from the employer. Every well thought out position is a trade off between priorities and a difference in where priorities are placed.
Descendant of a jewish holocaust survivor here. I am extremely anti zionist and will never support the colonial project that is Israel. I also have a big book collection on the holocaust, the jewish faith, and antisemitism. Both can be true at the same time.
Could you fucking stop spamming this garbage propaganda?
Everyone except the filthy Zionists knew that Pro-Palestinian rhetoric is covered by the freedom of speech.
Essentially this article is Zionists complaining that "we have to respect other people? But mooom I don't want to"
Fuck off and breathe in a a cactus

Pro palestine and anti-zionism are different concepts

This is the UK where we don't have a fetishised version of free speech

My point exactly. This was Pro-Palestinian rhetoric, which is now being painted as Anti-Zionist rhetoric, for obvious reasons.
From the article:
An employment tribunal in the UK has concluded that holding the belief that Israel's actions against Palestinians amount to apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide are "worthy of respect in a democratic society".
That's Pro-Palestinian beliefs.

I'm Finnish, not American.
It is also worded in such a way as to compare it to the Forstater judgement because Kath Viner has to work in transphobia to every part of the Guardian
