For as long as I live, I will never forget that the whole world watched Israel starve 2 million innocent people in Gaza, killing children on a daily basis and did nothing to stop it, even worse, punished those trying to end it and helped, funded, protected and armed the genocidal regime of Netanyahu.

This is bigger than the rules.
Edit: amazing that I’m getting down voted for caring about genocide like the fuckface who called out OP for sucking farts. [https://alexandrite.app/lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/20193896]
Lemmy dog piles are fucking unreal. For all its benefits over reddit, this is one thing that definitely is worse here.
So think of it this way. A person signs up for lemmy, by choosing specific communities to join they are giving consent for a specific range of information to be delivered to thier screen. By breaking the rules of a community you are essentially violating the consent of the members of that community.
I feel your struggle though. You want to do “something”. The vast majority of people on the planet do too. And there doesn’t seem to be a community for just bringing up a topic in general. I assume they are just too hard to moderate. But that doesn’t make it right to just break the rules of this community.
Boards like these are public or at least quasi public spaces. No one is actually forcing you to read or engage with any specific post or comment.
I would say that significant deviation from the intended content of the community is one thing. Personal attacks, intentional misinformation, arguing in bad faith, harassment, etc has no place. But claiming that OP “violated people’s consent” has a serious connotation, and I think it is a real stretch to apply that here.
If the post bothers you enough, you can always report it and then simply ignore the post. Even block the OP, especially if they have a pattern of behavior that your find inappropriate.
I didn’t imply any connotations. Any added to the phrase is done so by the reader. So it doesn’t invalidate the validity of the statement. People signed up for the content the community described. This post is not that. People are debating that, and I am sharing my opinion. Just because I could take various actions to prevent it in the future, doesn’t make the original action ok. Saying otherwise is just justifing more posts of this kind.
Okay, so it can go in one of the like 500 communities where this is relevant. If it’s bigger than the rules, why did OP, with one exception, choose to do none of that and instead exclusively post it into news communities where it’s not supposed to be? Where it will quickly get removed?
“This is bigger than the rules”, I say like a jackass, as I go post this into a community about artisinal cheeses.
Fuck Israel. They are committing genocide through starvation. That’s why this deserves to go somewhere it’s actually supposed to be, and OP knows where those places are.
Apparently not that quickly. OP is shown as “15 hours ago,” as of right now.
It seems like @jordanlund@lemmy.world is the only active mod of this comm. Plausible it slipped past them. So in the event 1) the rules are actually enforced with literally any consistency and 2) jordan notices, it ought to be removed quickly. As best I can tell, our OP who was too lazy to just post one of the mountain of news articles lucked out.
Wow, 1 active mod for a sub with this level of activity? I actually don’t know what would be considered typical, but gut instinct tells me more than 1.
Card says moop vibes.
Are you referring to the actual Seinfield scene or the Alt-Right Playbook video? I can’t figure it out because they’re equally irrelevant.
I don’t have the bandwidth to explain if you don’t want to see it. He broke rule 1 and he’s a jackass for condemning child genocide in world@lemmy.world. Ban him. Based on what I see here, I’m sure artisanal cheese is way better suited for that type of discussion anyway.
Dude, I don’t even have the bandwidth to translate this comment into a coherent English paragraph. As best I can tell, it’s just a bizarre strawman about banning(???) instead of removing an off-topic post, and it’s done as a deflection from you “not having the bandwidth” (read: being unable because you know it was nonsense) to justify why you called it “card says moops”.
I had to google it…I think he’s referring to the Burning Man term for “Matter Out of Place”. So I think he’s agreeing with you that this link doesn’t belong in this community.
Can I ask if you seriously care about downvotes? Also, some downvotes and one comment is a pretty low bar for “dog piling.”
I get what you’re saying though. It’s important enough that it should be everywhere. But is that what op did? Idc enough to check every instance but maybe they didn’t and that’s why no one likes your comment?
Ftr, I lean a bit in your favor for your original comment or at least your intention. I do downvote every post that bitches about downvotes though.
I feel like this is the issue that will haunt us forever if we don’t stand on the right side. That’s it. I’ve fought for Palestinian rights in one form or another since the second Intifada. My ex, a Jordanian photo journalist, opened my eyes to this 25 years ago.
There’s no other moral or ethical way.
No one disagrees with that and it wasn’t why you were downvoted.
I don’t think anyone is arguing your opinion, it’s just this is not the right venue for an opinion.
Legit confused on why you got down voted so hard. I am guessing people are confused by your comment, see the edit and decide to downvote you just because it feels right
Because “its bigger than the rules” is stupid. There is tens of thousands of posts on lemmy covering this topic.
Whatever. I believe my words.
