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 star of David entwined with a swastika? Clearly, without a doubt anti-Semitic. It's saying "Jews are Nazis".
If you want to convey an anti-zionist message and don't hate Jews, it's actually quite easy. Yeah, Israel will still accuse you of being anti-Semitic but they say Jews are anti-semitic if they dare suggest genocide of Palestinians is a bad thing, so we don't go by that.
People are pushing back on Israel's "all criticism of Israel is racist" with "no criticism of Israel is racist". Be fucking better. Stop condoning racism because it aligns with your politics.
What's on the Israeli flag..? Y'know, the flag that represent a country? What's on it again..? I just plain forgot.
So do you think that Israel and Jews or Judaism are one and the same? No?
The symbols are not the same. A swastika emblazoned on an Israeli flag would be a completely different statement.
You know, just the same as there'd be a difference between displaying an alteration of any religious symbol that implies its members are all evil, and displaying an alteration of a flag featuring that symbol. Many flags feature religious symbols.
That's the problem with creating an ethnostate, suddenly there is conflation between the actions of the nation and its chosen identity. The Star of David is at once a symbol of the religion and the state of israel. The state of israel set these conditions. The symbol can stand for both separately and interrogated/criticized/respected/etc distinctly. You're doing the Knesset's work for them.
Yeah that's a problem with Israel.
Doesn't absolve everyone else of the responsibility not to be racist tho.
