General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

a jewish religious symbol mashed together with a nazi symbol can easily be interpreted as anti-jew racism
i'm guessing there was no similar islamic symbol representing the genocidal intents and actions of many islamic terrorist movements and countries
another edgy group of musicians jumping on the populist bandwagon. they live in this minuscule bubble of protest against a single action, disconnected from the rest of history and the actions of others and the implications of their protest. when asked to do so they get deeply offended; lash out and implicate you in the same action, or accuse you of what-aboutism ;)
israel chose to make the star of david their flag, but cool whataboutism i guess
They did indeed, which is sort of the point you’re missing. Now you’re letting Israel dictate your messaging by supporting its use, bad plan.
If you want to help Israel, make an anti-Israel message that conflates Israel and Judaism (or just appears to), that’s their entire gambit right now, and it shields them by making anti-Israel messages trigger racism alarms and get ignored.
The more clearly anti-Israel messaging distances itself from anti-Jewish racism the harder Israel has to work, and combining a Star of David and a swastika is straight up zero effort for them. They probably don’t even need to throw any bot comments into the mix, real people will reach the conclusions they want without any help at all.
it sounds a lot more like you're the one letting israel direct your messaging than literally anyone else involved
i literally don't give a shit what israel cries about, if I see something is from an israeli source, i reduce the amount of confidence i have in it by 99%. if i hear that something is anti-semitic, that means I need to check if it's really anti-semitic or if it's just thinly-veiled bullshit again. if I'm too busy, I just assume it's bullshit.
honestly, if nothing else, it's free press, and it might make some zionists wonder why everyone is calling them genocidal and comparing them to nazis
anyways, wishing israel a very dissolved and a happy new execution for war crimes for their state
