The Article.

As far as the mod action here go, it signals that this is not a place for actual discussion and shareworthy news.

They are proving that their community is not for learning news and seeing stuff you would not otherwise had know it. This is a community to share only the things we all know/believe in.

The article is by CNN based on about 80 pages report by Dinah Project and shared and discussed by other outlets:

And other outlets.

The conclusion for me here is clear.

Israeli reports.

They are currently trying to ethnically cleanse a whole other group of people. I would take any reports they made about the group they are trying to exterminate with a very large grain of salt.

I normally hate on world news, in fact I have blocked it for quite a while out of disgust.

But this is a correct call, they did good here. The source is bad, it’s widely known to be propaganda, and its uncritical spread by USA mainstream media is a seen as a massive failure of journalistic integrity.

In other words, if the world news mods see this as a bridge too far, then other pro Israeli people should use caution when passing this blindly.

If one wants to know more about the hostages and what they suffered, read independent Israeli media instead.

YDI. It's Israeli propaganda meant to justify Israel's ongoing atrocities.

Yes, an independent investigation source would be preferred. This was removed because the investigators were not independent.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

That's a good point too. I was lazy and didn't double check the organisation that ran the investigation.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

What's "independent" .

I am asking because I shared a lot of times reports( about Israel crimes) from middle east focused entities and no one had told me they are not independent.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago

What's "independent

Like amnesty which their reports focus on all crimes regardless who commit it. Amnestry has report about israel, russia , iran, china , hamas etc

YDW, you should be fucking banned for trying to excuse genocide.

All those sources are knowm to lie for zionist propaganda. Take your hazbara lies elsewhere. The sea, perhaps, as you walk into it?

I genuinely think better of /worldnews for removing this. The fact they didn't ban you for advocating violence is evidence they're still licking boot though.

Idk how anyone can look at that source, the Dinah project and not see them as propaganda.

YDI.

You posted a propaganda piece and you are moaning about it being removed as a propaganda piece.

This is debunked bullshit propaganda by the Israelis, so YDI.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Great, any links or sources for the debunking?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

Stop trying to waste our time, hasbara.

YDI. the claims you made are either debunked or lack sufficient evidence (source) I'm not too familiar with AP News but I do know the other three sources you listed are known for promoting IDF / Israel propaganda

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Associated Press is usually good. It's US based but it's usually unbiased and just reports facts. Their reporters were banned from entering the American presidential jet and palace almost as soon as Trump took office, so that should give an idea as to where AP's loyalties lay.

Clearly overreach by the mods LW World News. I am honestly surprised deleted the article.

IMO CNN is not the best source, BBC or AP would have been better, but that doesn't mean one should automatically delete anything from CNN.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago

It was removed not because the media source was unreliable, but because of the report source.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Quality moderation would have made that clear when there are several different possibilities baked into one rule.

I got it, I posted before I realized this.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

BBC who refused to show two documentaries about gaza suffering and the leadership pushing journalists to spread israeli propaganda ?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

bbc is a Zionist front lol

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I wouldn't go that far. They may have a bias on this issue, but you can hardly call them a Zionist front.

Trying reading news in russian (by russians). That's what I call an imperialist front, even allegedly liberal, independent russian media occasionally crack and go on pro-imperialist rants.

There was is a famous opposition TV channel (banned in russia since Feb 2022) were the presenter suddenly went on a rant about "how we need to help our poor boys [the invading russian military]".

It's all a matter of context and frame of reference. :)

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

ohh make no mistake BBC is an imperialist front too

They are just heavily doing Zionism currently BC it is in vogue.

This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.


Posting Guidelines

All posts should follow this basic structure:

  1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
  2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
  3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
  4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
  5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Rules


Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.

Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
