His immunity defense isn’t merely a legal argument. He’s priming his base to back wanton lawbreaking if he wins back the White House.

I think standing against genocide is an admirable thing to do.
I know I know, it’s not something that we’re used too as Americans. We haven’t had justified war since, what, Korea? Kuwait? War for spoils doesn’t justify, imo. Helping an invaded ally, does.
Following, Israel’s response isn’t in line with the Hamas attack. Neither was America’s war on Iraq and Afghanistan after 9/11.
What was the stat? A full 60% of Palestinians in Gaza weren’t even alive the last time hostilities broke out? But those kids are dying all the same. Bombing out refugee pathways -that Israel dictated even - really, REALLY isn’t a good look. That Gaza has no hospitals left? Bibi openly talking about the forced removal of the whole region…that’s CLEAR-AS-FUCKING-DAY genocide.
I got nothing against Jews, in fact, the closest people to me outside my blood family are Jewish. I LOVE Jews. I LOVE their perspective and expression of community and family. I fucking admire that in them. idgaf yr religion or where yr ancestors hail from, but after this shit, with the hard-line right and orthodoxy running things (everyone said Bibi sold his soul to make that coalition), if Zionism means imperialism, colonialism, apartheid, and hatred dressed up in whatever dog whistle you choose, then add Zionism to the list of things I dont support. It can share that stage with Nazism, Stalinism, Objectivism, Corporatism, Calvinism and many more other -isms I don’t care to search for atm.
You don’t get to take help after a tragedy just to recover your strength then seek your turn on top of the wheel of oppression. That gets us nowhere and exposes you as just as bad as your oppressors. Israel has lost any moral ground they might have claimed to have. They’re just a terrorist state in my eyes and I don’t want my taxes going to fund their hate campaigns.
I am not on the side of hate. Ever. It’s that simple. And if that costs gEnOcIdAl jOe, as you say, the election, then, well, he fucking earned that. And RIP America then. If war breaks out in our soil, we’ll never see peace on the continent again, not in our lifetimes, not in our children’s lifetimes, and all the ecological damage from all that warring will prob ensure that our grandchildren or great-grandchildren will be the last generation.
Since mods are deleting comments here without reason, I’m not allowed to respond to you in disagreement.
Not all the mods are willing to put a target on their back by telling trolls to stop being trolls. I prefer responding because I really do believe good moderation is transparent.
In THIS specific case, I COULD remove your comment under rule 4:
“regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.”
But frankly, I don’t find it bothersome enough to do so.
Yeah. I’m getting comments deleted with no reasoning. It’s always this way in this community. I’ve had accounts banned for no reasoning. There is an absolute bias here and there’s no denying it.
If you had a comment removed, always check the modlog (if it loads!) Not all mods post public comments, but the modlog will have removal reasons. I’ve been having trouble with the modlog tonight, but I’ll see if it can load your stuff.
The log points to a comment that was removed, so there’s no way to know what was said.
Generally the log will contain the full comment if it was removed under “Remove Comment”.
The bit where it doesn’t is if the mod chose “Ban user - x day(s) - Remove Content”
That’s why, when it’s a ban level offense, I remove the comment first to preserve it in the log, THEN ban the user.
I’ve yet to see a removed comment point to whatever comment was removed. So it’s impossible to ever know what was done that was wrong.
Oh, it doesn’t link to the comment, it links to the comment thread, but the full text of the removed comment is preserved in the modlog which is why the modlog carries a content warning.
(phew) Finally got the mod log to load on your account:
https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&userId=5357429
You’ve had 2 comments removed and one post locked, here’s what it looks like, let’s check this one at a time:
Telling another user you’re going to piss all over them and that they deserved it and should enjoy it is, in fact, pretty much the definition of incivility. I didn’t remove that comment, but had I seen the report, I would have removed it too.
To be clear, offensive language is not a problem, directing it at other users is the problem.
Mod removed that under rule 1, but I can’t tell which community. It doesn’t match rule 1 in either Politics or World News. It doesn’t look to me to be necessarily a rule breaking comment in the same way the other one is.
So this is weird, I got an alternate version of the modlog to load and it shows no action taken against you at all (at least under this user name).
PM me the details and I’ll raise it with the site admins.
I’ve got several accounts. Yeaterday, I saw one of my posts was removed. And there was nothing in my notifications. Just…. “Removed.”
I got banned from r/politics for saying killing Nazi’s is a great American tradition, and in my case, a family tradition, all my grandparents, and my wives grandparents were all overseas as part of the war effort.
If you want to find who’s really running a joint, find out who you can’t offend.
And the irony isn’t lost on me that you were summoned here to respond. Everyone here reports anything that goes against the hive mind. It’s absurd.
OMG you have no idea! I wish the report queue was as public as the modlog, but that would cause more problems as it identifies the reporter.
I think you got tricked and have a very simple view of things. 99.996% of all Palestinian people are still alive right now and daily deaths have dropped off. How is that genocide?
I get it. Not supposed to make people leave their homes. Well unfortunately Hamas built a military base underneath Gaza City so the people who live above it are going to have to leave now.
