Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Japan certainly has some ugly issues with racism. Many countries do. But comparing that with the treatment of Palestine is absolutely deluded.
Both can be apartheids. I haven't compared much. Let's compare.
I don't even think Israel has killed nearly the amount of people as Japan has Koreans. Like what Israel has done would be a fraction compared. Even after and during Israel being invaded in 1948.
How do you say with a straight face Japan is not up there with Israel. Must be deluded with goyim hatred am I right?
Ah yes somebody committed a war crime (checks math) 79 years ago. So we can't criticize Israel.
GTFO
People are actively saying there's no apartheid in Japan. What are you talking about. They claim to care so much about apartheid states but look in this thread.
This whole Palestine thing also started in 1948 nearly 79 years ago. Thanks for proving the point that none cares about apartheids.
No. I don't know if English is your second language but in present tense there is no apartheid in Japan.
That's nice. Lol.
Imagine being this much of a clown.
What are you talking about? No one who is pro-palestinian on the basis of humanitarian and anti-genocide grounds are pro-democide when it comes to Imperial Japan. Trying to minimize the crimes against humanity of Israel by saying the crimes against humanity of another nation is worse is completely ridiculous.
The basis of these Japanese crimes stem from Imperialism, dehumanization, and supremacy. All of which are also present in Zionism, only with Settler Colonialism instead of Imperialism.
Democide is not Apartheid, both have particular definitions. Nor do either rely on a death count for their definitions.
In the context of Japan, the US has minimized any discussions about their crimes against humanity since we made them our Allies to extend our hegemony in East Asia. In the context of Israel, we are actively funding the genocide of the native Palestinian people who have been held as prisoner under Apartheid for generations.
My US tax dollars are going towards the wholesale destruction of a people, which I and many others find completely unacceptable. This is why anti-genocide activism is the forefront of many people's issues with our Administration, and why the Uncommitted movement has so much momentum.
You don't know where your tax dollars go. We give money to them. They give money to us. Business as usual.
Do you not see the comments I'm replying to. People don't even care or accept it's an apartheid. Like what are you talking about? Read the comments I'm replying to for some context.
