Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I'm deeply disturbed by the genocide the IDF are perpetrating in Gaza.
Aw did the mean words hurt them? Israel's actively ordering bombings of children and shootings of starving mothers. It's like saying "Death to the wehrmact"
While I agree that the chant might be a bit crass, I think it's his right to say it. He's saying the army and what it does is shit, and should suffer. I find it very discouraging that such a statement is called antisemitic. The way you frame it is exactly how I see it, it's death to the abusers, to the killers, the soldiers. It's about the violence committed by the army.
It would be as if The Andrew Sisters at a gig in 1943 shouted "Death to the wehrmacht", and people reacted with "well that's quite anti-german innit?". No it's not, it's anti Wehrmacht, just like his chant has something specifically to do with the IDF, not with Israelis.
no death to hamas chants?
Whataboutism only makes you look small minded, braindead, even. As if team sports is as complicated as your tiny brain can comprehend, and thusly you process all world events as if they're team sports. You know, like a moron.
it was very brave of them to only call out IDF, so punk
You're the only one talking about Hamas here.
No "death to Nazis" chants? That obviously makes your point invalid since you didn't discuss them. (/s, this is the equivalent argument and it's ridiculously stupid and childish.)
why not mention the nazis or neo nazis?
why mention IDF?
Hamas isnt murdering children and killing thousands of people. Fuck you 😘
yes they are
Let's go with some sources.
you have heard of october 7th, potty mouth?
Were they directly murdering children to murder children? Or did they decide they finally had enough of being under the thumb of racists and just went ham?
Death to the IDF
well these clout chasing musicians really got you
they really are allowed to do anything because they're under the thumb right?
why are they under the thumb?
Is this how the media would have reacted if you got on stage in the ‘40s and shouted death to Hitler?
Feel like civilians in this country are being held to higher standard for speech than a whole ass Country is being held to for its actions.
Ya but did you ever consider all the morals and values they taught the younger generations, (post boomers and most individuals who were positioned to benefit from the internet boom) was just another weapon used by capitalism? Things like the Golden Rule, protecting those weaker than ourselves, equality, love, etc were lessons those older than us had no intentions of following. They crushed their opponents and ensured no younger generation would ever be powerful enough to overthrow them.
Always have been
Israeli embassy 'deeply disturbed'
Oh gosh, I am so sorry, nevermind.
You know what is deeply disturbing? Murdering and starving civilians, including children.
So far they have shot 14 people waiting for food today. including 3 children. this is just today, and so far.
Is it as disturbing as your continued genocide, you maniacal bastards?
israeli embassy can fuck off and stop committing genocide
Nazi German embassy is deeply upset by British Americans wanting to kill mazis
Someone should put a big mirror on an easel in front of the embassy. Nothing more, no explanation.
I am 'deeply disturbed' by nazionism.
Israeli embassy: "hey don't shame butchering children, it is in our cultural traditions k?"
It's funny that the chud line is to question the loyalty of the festival goers, when they're going to bat for an organisation that murdered three British citizens last year.
stop doing genocide then you nazi fucks
Herzlians will be more offended by this comment—likening their régime to the Third Reich—than they’ll be offended by the indisputable evidence of the IOF exterminating civilians.
I don't know anything about any of this, but I know the name Bob Vylan is just goddamn fantastic.
They're worth checking out, because they're fucking great.
We Live Here is incredible.
That was fucking fantastic.
Aw poor baby
I left America because both major parties form a sinister coalition that is inimical to the interests of the electorate.
Joke's on me, I guess.
You could've done some research before (presumably) moving to the next best example of such a thing in the world
I did! Turns out I'm a real person in reality, so my options were limited.
Yeah, I'm sorry, didn't mean to come across so snarky to you, I really just wanted to rag on England (specifically)
I left the UK (not from there originally) because I didn't like it there, but I'd still move there from the USA
I never thought England was a perfect place, but at least there is something resembling a social fabric and it's possible to live car-free.
Whilst I'll never agree with such chants, see the thing is whilst this embassy official might not give two shits about the amount of wanton death being inflicted by the IDF, others do.
They should be more worried about the thousands cheering when he said it. Seems Isntreal is losing the narrative and, once los1t, will be damn near impossible to reclaim.
All religions want to spread their local hate globally. They claim that's a morally superior act. It is not.
We could be wrong, but we've never heard of say Buddhism or Paganism spreading hate.
