The Anti-Defamation League, a US-based pro-Israeli group which monitors anti-Semitism and hate speech, has described Musk’s gesture as “awkward” but did not say it was a Nazi salute.
That's a bit of bullshit. The ADL said specifically that it was NOT a Nazi salute. Which is the end of the ADL, for me. They're simply not credible as alleged opponents of anti-Semitism.
So Netanyahu, leader of a bunch of Nazis, just said he's a friend to them, case closed.
wasn't there a quote about control and knowing who you can't criticize?
Yeah but it was more so talking about how when Democrats are in power it's okay to criticize both Democrat and republicans, however once Republicans are in power you're not allowed to criticize Republicans because the power stigma shifts.
something that I've started noticing as of late as well. If you try to criticize the Republican Party you'll be met with resistance, arguments and full shutdown leadin to personal attacks, where if you criticize the Democratic Party, they will still disagree with what you say but they'll at least listen to you.
Democrats?
You can't criticize the democrats? Did Fox News shut down?
You can't criticize the democrats?
Depends on the instance.
Democrats are criticized by democrats all the time. Republicans actively censor all criticism they have control over.
Republicans actively censor all criticism they have control over.
One of the major reasons why I like Lemmy is the multitude of options available for dealing with "Republican" moderators of all political bents.
smells like a duck quacks like a duck, shits on the floor. must be a duck..
OMG the comments section on that article is something...
I've never trusted Russia Today to be a fact based news source and more importantly it's been a long time since I've trusted CBS to report on anything that isn't 100% motivated by their own self-interested drive for profit.
TLDR:
Neither news source involved are known to me to be particularly trustworthy.
Oh no the reporters are ze untermench
Hans get ze calipers
UN vote on combating glorification of nazism
Hmm wonder who the two are...
I was expecting the US and Isreal but it ended up being Ukraine as the second one.
Garbage article, hiding behind the ADL, afraid to call him a nazi as well. Cowards who don't call out nazi-ism are playing defense for the nazi's. To the wall with the lots of them, good on Sam for not bowing to fascist authority.
It's like when a todler is hiding behind a thin pole and everyone can still see them. The ADL can't hide anything behind the phrase "awkward gesture." Someone needs only ask, "What makes it awkward?"
Right so calling the guy who endorses and promotes Nazis on his website, who reuses Nazi rhetoric and who uses Nazis symbols on camera is reckless?
if i hear one more lib tell me that in USA you can freely say anything without repercussions as an argument...
If a fascist man, who nazi salutes at public events and who publicly supports nazi and fascist aligned governments around the world cannot be called a nazi, who can?
Jewish Voice for Peace
Love how he’s been championing Nazis and telling holocaust jokes for years , but the salute is somehow too much for people
And the ADL condones the salute, but condemns the jokes.
