All from in this thread in !world@lemmy.world about a chant at a British music festival where an artist said “death, death to the IDF”.

After other users were quoting that chant in the comments and had comments removed and banned, the hero of our story, @theacharnian@lemmy.ca (appearing as “acargitz”) pointed out that under international law, fighting an occupying force is legitimate. But apparently not under world news rules, as their removed comments and the many explanations from mods make clear in the thread.

Equally against the rules is the call for the eradication of an organisation or business, even without an explicit call to violence against individual members of the business.

In the same thread: user @DeathToTheIDF@lemmings.world had comments removed for being anti-American “(again)”, though I couldn’t see the first time. It’s not even clear to me how the removed comments were anti-American.

Bonus points for the “DC Comics” removal reason. Though this seems to be incompetence, rather than malice.

      Me: I like killing IDF people

      You: HOW DARE YOU TRY TO CENSOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO KILL IDF PEOPLE

      Me: What? I am not censoring anyone, I actually listed that censorship as a reason not to go to lemmy.world

      You: IDF DESERVES TO DIE YOU MONSTER, HOW DARE YOU

      Is there someone else near to you that I can speak with? Maybe I can explain it to them, and they can explain it to you.

        As someone who suck at fight and would die instantly the least i can do is to support those Palestinians who are fighting the idf terrorists while you are against the death of the occupying soldiers
