Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

That doesn't explain why it's my job. Unless you're going to pay me to do otherwise, I think I'll continue to reply to who I want to reply to.
If it isn't your job to somehow find a way to speak out against the most milquetoast barely pro-Israel comments made on Lemmy, it's certainly at least your hobby.
I just think you could put 1% of your time here towards speaking out against the comments you see that are wrong when they come from your side.
But, partisanism is like a drug.
Shall I go through your comment history to see what you've been unevenly commenting on? Because I'm willing to. I'm guessing I'll find quite the treasure trove.
Go ahead. I'm mostly on your side of the conflict. Largely because of the work you have put in here. You are respected here and have changed minds.
I just think if arguing against pro-Israel people the second they step out of line is going to be your hobby, you should be doing the same when you see it coming from your own side.
Whereas I think declaring something to be my hobby when it isn't that at all is exceedingly rude. So I don't think I'll take the advice of someone who is being exceedingly rude to me.
If you want to pretend the person who gave you credit for changing their mind is being rude to you, that's fine.
Yes. I do want to "pretend" the person telling me what my hobbies are and berating me for spending time here is being exceedingly rude. You don't even know what is going on in my life and you assumed instead of asked. Too late now. I'm done here. Go be a jerk to someone else.
If I realized you would take offense at the word I used to describe how you choose to spend your time, I wouldn't have used the word.
I'm not criticizing you for what you are doing. I think you have done a lot of good. I just think you are very forgiving of awful behavior among people who hold the same beliefs you do, when you should realize they respect you and likely wouldn't engage I'm that behavior if you chose to say something.
