A French hard-left MP sparked a political row Sunday by saying Israeli athletes were not welcome at the Paris Olympics because of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, which one senior minister said had "hints of anti-Semitism".In a post on X, Arfi branded Portes's comments "irresponsible" and accused him of "legitimising Hamas", the Palestinian militant group whose October 7 attacks on Israel sparked the Gaza war.
Where would I find the civility guidelines?
I can no longer see the original post to know how it violated these guidelines.
Methinks this isn’t about guidelines at all, just people being uncomfortable when it’s pointed out the popular opinion in an online community is devolving towards rationalizing racism.
All the rules for the community are on the Sidebar.
There, I pasted it from the sidebar for you. The bit you violated, and the only comments that got removed, was where you called other people bots.
You never answered the question as to how you think Hamas could commit the process of genocide against Israel.
I legit couldn’t tell. They weren’t responding to anything I said, just posting something that looked to be from scripts. I’m here to have conversations, not waste time discussing with bots, so need to either verify they’re not bots and if not, and if they are actually people they maybe should be discouraged from just posting copypasta. This is not good for discussion.
We saw it happen on October 7. What happened on that day was inconvenient for many people’s internet arguments, but it happened. They still hold hostages, and this is also inconvenient to the popular narrative.
But is this a place where people can’t discuss the truth if it’s inconvenient to those holding the popular opinion? A little disturbing when the popular opinion is negative towards Jews, but maybe it’s ok when the popular opinion is to hate a subset of Jews? What is the end goal here? Silence dissent when people speak out against one sided attacks on Jews?
