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.

So you think there's any action by Palestinian protesters that can be considered wrong? Are they allowed to also murder Canadian Jews so long as it's less than the number of deaths in Gaza?
Where do you draw the line here?
And what is it they're trying to accomplish here? Gain support by antisemitic acts? What is your goal?
We need to recognize this movement for what it is. It's not about gaining support, it's about maintaining a violent fervor to keep those in the movement energized. It's becoming a hate group.
Fuck off.
The truth hurts doesn't it? Feels bad to realize you're in the same movement as antisemitic people, and you're too afraid to come out against the antisemitism in the movement you're a part of. But as it slowly slides into becoming a hate group, you're eventually going to have to come to terms with it.
Antisemitism is meaningless. Down with Likud. Down with Israel. The diaspora is safer without them.
Antisemitism is not cool, guys.
Neither are Semites so we're even.
At what point do you ask yourself "are we the baddies?" Apparently full blown antisemitism isn't that point for you.
At what point do you ask yourself “are we the baddies?”
You think that point would be when you're bombing hospitals, murdering children, and torturing civilians.
But hey, we still have people defending Israel and calling everyone supporting Palestinians as antisemitic ¯\(ツ)/¯
Anything Jews disagree with turns into antisemitism, shits crazy.
Because they are protesting a hospital founded by Canadian Jews. There is an Israeli consulate in Toronto, but they choose to protest a Hospital founded by Canadian Jews instead. They aren't distinguishing between Israelis and Jews from other countries. The just hate Jews. That's the definition of antisemitism.
At what point does a pro Palestinian March turn into antisemitism?
Because YOU don't agree doesn't mean it's antiemetic.
When they're protesting Canadian Jews in a city where there's an Israeli consulate they could be protesting, that's antisemitism.
Neither are Semites so we’re even.
This is also antisemitic. You're not talking about just Israel, you're expressing negative feelings about all Jews. You're antisemitic, plain and simple.
Protesting Israel's actions you imbicile
Yeah and instead of protesting at the Israeli consulate, they protested a hospital founded by Canadian Jews. Who's the imbecile? The people who see no distinction between Israelis and Canadian Jews, or people who rightly condemn this as antisemitism?
But you're forgetting that protests that happen in places they normally aren't get a shit ton of more coverage. Do you think they would have gotten any coverage in front of a consulate?
is it in bad taste, probably, but that's what gets people talking. But all y'all see is they hate Jews. No they hate what Israel is doing.
Yeah it gets people talking about this Palestinian group being antisemitic.
But all y’all see is they hate Jews.
Gee... wonder why that is? It's so unfair these people are being judged by their actions!
INB4 the inevitable "both sides" arguments.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
"The Toronto Police Service is investigating several incidents that occurred in front of Mount Sinai Hospital and along the demonstration route.
As we have said before, officers use their discretion during large crowd demonstrations and even if arrests are not deemed safe to make at the time, investigations will continue and charges can be laid at a later date," Sayer said.
In videos posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, apparently from the time of the protest, a person can be seen climbing an awning that's branded Mount Sinai Hospital while waving a Palestinian flag.
The protest action was denounced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow.
In 2021, the federal government introduced Bill C-3, making it an offence to intimidate or prevent patients from seeking care or to interfere with health professionals trying to deliver it, amid anti-vaccine protests during the coronavirus pandemic.
"It is an infringement of our constitutional rights and clear efforts to distract from the war crimes being committed on the ground in Gaza, in these ongoing genocide that has taken the lives of over 30,000 innocent civilians, 70 per cent of whom are women and children," the group said.
The original article contains 1,049 words, the summary contains 195 words. Saved 81%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Why is this post downvoted? It doesn't matter which side you agree with, it is newsworthy.
It's possible there may be a bias in this community.
