Ahaha, thanks!

Yup, which is my favourite kind of joke. But the rest of lemmy seems to feel otherwise.
Edit: Or, based on some of the conversations I’ve had today, are too young to know the context.
Gotta love the “everyone I disagree with is a shill/bootlicker” playbook.
And my local mosque isn’t the sole representation for all Muslims, but if I falsely claimed they advocated rape, I’d be being pretty bigoted.
At least be consistent; you got annoyed when I pointed out that the articles you posted show that rape is absolutely not an Israeli government position. But this comment takes the opposite tack.
As you grow up, hopefully you’ll learn that reality is a thing and not just whatever suits the argument at hand.
Bye.
And to your larger point, you are welcome to create your own server or community and allow whomever to say whatever they’d like, regardless of how bigoted or incorrect they might be!
As many have said, this isn’t a fediverse problem, nor is it a suggestion to improve the fediverse, this is a you complaining about mods doing what the commubity expects of them.
Have a good night.
So if someone commits a crime, fair to accuse them of all crimes?
That part is still claiming you made a factual claim. And that part is still incorrect.
So, I noted that it is wildly inaccurate and far from a factual claim.
You can’t posit something reprehensible, a few paragraphs later decide you might be wrong and then be annoyed when people correct your original claim.
Well, you’re arguing that there’s some wider conspiracy etc. And in public discourse, ehhhhhh it’s more a very tricky line to walk.
But if you’re not talking in response to why this person has their comment removed, then it doesn’t seem particularly relevant.
It reminds me of when people are talking about the latest police killing of an unarmed Black man and a right winger comes in to talk about Black on Black violence statistics, not particularly relevant and it feels like they’re doing it to demonize the group in question.
You had multiple comments, I responded one at a time. In future, I’d just delete or edit the original. I’m not going to track down and check each thread you may have participated in etc.
Because I don’t think it’s cool to accuse the Israeli government of having a policy of rape? Jesus, get a grip kid.
You know, come to think of it, maybe if I think a group is doing things with which I disagree, I ought to be able to make up whatever other offenses too. It’s like when women who have abortions become racist and transphobic, which is why abortion should be prohibited. /s
Read the first paragraph of the first link you submitted “An Israeli Defense Forces officer who has been imprisoned since 2017 for multiple sexual offenses, including the rape of…”
In other words, the Israeli defence force arrested the guy for rape.
If you actually have news that indicates rape is a government policy, then post the article and see what happens.
But, one of the tried and tested approaches for right wing trolling is to lobby a whole bunch of accusations with some nonsense ina semi related thread and force everyone else to go and debunk them ad nauseum, it’s not particularly enjoyable and is exactly why we have moderators.
Read the comment again, closely. Arguing the Israeli government has a policy of rape is pretty gross.
Ehhh, accusing the Israeli government of having a policy of rape is pretty out there and kind of indistinguishable from general anti semitism. Fwiw, I’d have removed it too.
