    So where’s the hate-crimes prosecution?

    Never mind, it’s New York, they’ll probably go after the woman instead.

    She was a Jew and “The men seem to believe she was part of a pro-Palestinian protest against a visit by Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir earlier that day, but it’s been reported she was just a concerned resident”

      So a Jewish women protesting against genocide was harassed by a racist mob chanting pro-genocidal slogans.

      It doesn’t matter if you are jewish or not. If you dare criticize Israels genocide you are anti-semitic. If you are Jewish you must support Israel and all their war crimes.

    The good news is we have these assaults on tape, so I’m sure there will be a robust investigation and the attackers will be held to justice. Right?

    “Itamar Ben-Gvir supporters” are literally called terrorist sympathizers, at best. An Israeli court convicted him of terrorism related offenses. It’s not even controversial. It’s like saying El Chapo wasn’t in a cartel or that Trump never gave $3 hand jobs in an alleyway near the Sbarro in midtown NYC that now sits on West 33rd St.

      Does anyone know of lemmy instances without as much censorship?

      I’d like to decide for myself what I get to see. There’s a block button for that reason.

        If you run your own, you can just undo the moderated action. I do that often on my instance just to see it without having to trawl through a modlog. But you should be able to also see it in the Modlog if you look there, can even filter by username.

        Lemmy shows that we can’t just give randoms the ability to be authoritarians. We need a government that forces these people to not censor.

          I disagree. The government doesn’t need to step in and dictate how lemmy moderators moderate.

          We just need to build and support communities that don’t abuse mod powers over those that do.

              Ok but they’re pushing for more takedowns, not less (although there is a freedom of speech right, but it seems only the EU high court cares, not the commission)

      You just haven’t been paying attention. Israel is a fascist ethno-supremacist state from its very founding as a settler-colonial project.

      "It would be an excellent idea to call in respectable, accredited anti-Semites as liquidators of [Jewish] property. To the people they would vouch for the fact that we do not want to bring about the impoverishment of the countries we leave. The anti-Semites will become our most dependable friends, the anti-Semitic countries our allies.”
