So I posted an article from al Arabiya about Christian villages denying that they asked Netanyahu to annex their villages on World News@lemmy.world.

Jordanlund removed it simply because he don't like the source. Yet he has no problem with articles from Saudi backed Iranian media https://irannewswire.org/ that also celebrate the terrorist group the MEK that sell out their country to side with Saddam and has no problem with israeli sources that deny the obvious genocide.

LOL - Yeah... "such a Zionist..."

Here's the problem from a moderation perspective:

The lemmy audience is HEAVILY pro-Palestinian (and everyone should be!)

It is NOT pro-Israel.

So when people roll up breaking the rules about calls for violence, murder, execution they are virtually ALL pro-Palestinian.

There have been comments attempting to justify the genocide which were removed, but they were a vast, vast minority and mostly in the early days when the numbers of dead were still open to question.

Because the removed rule breaking comments lean heavily on the pro-Palestinian side, it gives the appearance of bias.

But I'm not going to let a rule breaking post stand just because I agree with it, or because "Israel deserves it".

    Most of them support resistance against colonialism and genocide and not the target of civilians. You made a fool of yourself by removing death to a colonial power military comments directly involved in genocide

    That wasn't even a community rule, that's a lemmy.world rule:

    https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

    "1. Attacks on people or groups 

    Before using the website, remember you will be interacting with actual, real people and communities. Lemmy.World is not a place for you to attack other people or groups of people.

    There is nothing about defending people right to resist the occupying forces

    When it comes to calling for death that's a TOS violation.

    So do the people who being killed shouldn't fight back?

    You support the kids in cages being kept in there, no fighting back aginast them?

    Good to know that when the Germans charged into the ghettos, you'd smack the guns out of the hands of Jews.

    The people being killed aren't on Lemmy calling for other people to be killed.

    If you're in danger, do something, don't go online asking other people to put their lives and others at risk.

    As with a lot of Lemmy, you confuse yelling online with actually doing something.

    "BUT I HAVE TO DEMAND MURDER AND DEATH SO EVERYONE KNOWS HOW OPPOSED I AM TO MURDER AND DEATH!"

    LOL - No. TOS violation. Grow up.

    Of course they are. You choose not to see it, because that would shatter your fragile world and self view.
