Before Gilead started deporting Human Beings the Imperial relic of the United Kingdom was doing it to people who had lived in the UK for DECADES.

A former Arsenal kit man has launched legal proceedings against the Premier League club after he was fired over comments on social media about Israel, Palestine and the war in Gaza.

Mark Bonnick, 61, worked as a member of the London club's community coaching staff for 22 years and was working as a kit man in Arsenal's academy for youth players at the time of his dismissal last year.

‘Keir Starmer’s Government Is Now Even More Anti-Migrant Than Its Conservative Predecessors’

Hopes that Labour would abandon the Conservative trend of treating incomers as disposable and lesser beings have been dashed, argues Daniel Sohege

With a judge’s ruling this week that Georgetown postdoctoral researcher Badar Khan Suri should be released from detention, Donald Trump and Marco Rubio’s McCarthyite campaign to squash protest against Israel’s genocide in Gaza suffered a defeat.

Suri’s release on bail marks the third time in two weeks a judge has granted bail to one of Rubio’s victims. Suri has been liberated from immigration detention in Texas.

Regarding Mid-East-related Comments on !europe


Hi.

In the past few days, discontent regarding mod decisions in this community has been brewing, particularly when it comes to comments on Palestine, Israel, and Israeli politics and actions. There are also misunderstandings regarding mod intention and German law. We hope to clear that up with this post.

While the servers of feddit.org are in Austria, most of the mods of this community as well as admins of this server live in Germany. Speaking of, our server admins have also posted a write-up on the same topic.

And with that, let's go:

In Germany, antisemitism is specifically sanctioned in German criminal law, both for speech and as a motivation for other criminal behavior. In addition, Germany seeks to protect the Jewish state of Israel (the so-called "Reason of State" introduced in 2008) and thus verges toward protecting Zionism as well. Certain criticism of Israel/Israelis is also categorized as "Israel-related antisemitism".

Since criminal law is involved, enforcement can mean things like police raids and device confiscations. After such police action, it does not really matter if it was appropriate or if cases are dropped or never charged: The damage is done. All told, it's not that fun.

There is also no point in engaging in discussions about the veracity of statements that could get us into legal trouble. In addition, we believe that you can express most opinions without breaking rules.

If your comment contains the following, it will be removed from this community:

  • Calling for the dissolution of Israel, or calling for a one-state solution without specifying equal rights for all people; Jewish in particular.
  • Calling for a destruction, annihilation, an end of all Zionism or the like.
  • Equating Israeli actions and (historical) Nazism.
  • The slogan "from the river..."
  • Endorsement of or justifications for Hamas or Hezbollah, or slogans or graphics positively referring to these organizations. These are considered terrorist organizations in Germany.
  • ... and obviously: Any of the common antisemitic tropes or calls to violence against Jews or Israelis

Comments will not be removed for the following:

  • Denouncing genocide.
  • Denouncing Israeli war crimes.
  • Criticizing Zionism as an ideology or political movement.
  • Referring to the current Israeli government as "criminal," "expansionist," or "far-right".

If your comment is removed nonetheless, these are not the reason. I'd also like to stress that this community was never a free-speech-absolutist zone: It is a (usually lightly) moderated community. There may also be times when bans go too far. In such cases, please DM the @EuroMod@feddit.org account (which all mods have access to).

:::spoiler To help you understand why, I'll leave an assortment of sources here (translations via DeepL).

  • A news report:
    Berlin in mid-May [2024] around 6 o'clock in the morning. A loud, continuous "banging" against the apartment door wakes student Alina T. from her sleep. [...] When her husband opens the door, several LKA officers, two employees of the district office and the SEK "storm" past him into the apartment. Puzzled, he looks at the search warrant. [...] The background to this was a Facebook entry in the student's profile: "From the river [...]


  • A legal treatise:
    In November 2023, the Federal Ministry of the Interior and for Home Affairs also issued a prohibition order against Hamas.[60] According to the order, "the slogan 'From the River to the Sea' (in German or other languages)" is a distinguishing mark of Hamas[61].
    [...] the current legal situation [regarding "Denial of Israel's right to exist"] is - contrary to what the statements of the Federal Ministry of Justice suggest[63] - anything but clear. Whether incitements to eliminate the State of Israel are prosecuted depends on the respective legal opinion and the prosecution will of the respective public prosecutor's office.


  • Press release from the previous government:
    In this context, Section 111 StGB, which covers public incitement to commit crimes, may also be relevant. Incitement to extinguish Israel's existence by force may be punishable under this provision. The same applies to calls to publicly display the Hamas flag. If Hamas attacks are publicly cheered and celebrated, this may also be punishable.
    This means that people who cheer on Hamas's actions or publicly express their sympathy with the attacks may constitute the criminal offence of "approval of criminal acts" under Section 140 of the German Criminal Code (StGB).


  • Another news report
    > In connection with the controversial Palestine Congress in Berlin, the German authorities have also imposed an entry ban on former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis. "In order to prevent antisemitic and anti-Israel propaganda at the event", several entry bans have been issued, the news agency AFP learned from security sources on Sunday. One of these concerned Varoufakis.
    (Notably, Varoufakis would have spoken about one-state solutions ...)

Question. Would a comment calling Nethanyahu “facist” be removed?
in reply to FundMECFS

Not if it had that typo. ^^ On a more serious note: I find these hard to mod and harder to argue against. The guy is in a coalition with outright fascists because that is the only way to save his power, he at the very least tolerates all of Europe's fascists to come to his government's "antisemitism" conferences, he wages a war currently that is officially called a war of self-defense but has morphed into being transparently expansionist and genocidal.

This is just sad. The community about Europe makes steps that are against Europe's own Charter of Fundamental Rights.

As a result, Germany has cracked down on legitimate criticism of the actions of the Israeli government, including on Jews and Israelis, academics, civil society and artists, who face restrictions on their rights to expression and protest, alongside funding cuts and bans on organizations.

The only recourse here should really be to move the community.

Israeli forces continued their relentless assault on the Gaza Strip on Friday, killing at least 109 Palestinians within 24 hours.

Among the dead was one body recovered from beneath the rubble.

A preliminary toll from the early hours of Friday until midday recorded 93 martyrs and over 200 injuries, amid what local officials described as a series of "massacres and targeted attacks" on densely populated civilian areas.

La imagen muestra a un anciano con cabello y barba blancos, vestido con una túnica marrón, sentado en lo que parece ser una cocina antigua. Está concentrado en cocinar, usando una cuchara para remover un líquido brillante en una sartén sobre un fuego alto. El fuego arde con intensidad, iluminando el rostro del anciano y creando un ambiente cálido y acogedor. Alrededor de él, se pueden ver utensilios de cocina colgados en la pared, como jarras y recipientes, y una lámpara de aceite que añade luz a la escena. La atmósfera es mágica y evocadora, con un toque de fantasía.

right, history repeating then, the swedisch russian war brought nothing but some 100.000 dead. Nothing else at all ... but the statement clearly shows that Russia's living an 18th century life
