All from in this thread in !world@lemmy.world about a chant at a British music festival where an artist said “death, death to the IDF”.

After other users were quoting that chant in the comments and had comments removed and banned, the hero of our story, @theacharnian@lemmy.ca (appearing as “acargitz”) pointed out that under international law, fighting an occupying force is legitimate. But apparently not under world news rules, as their removed comments and the many explanations from mods make clear in the thread.

Equally against the rules is the call for the eradication of an organisation or business, even without an explicit call to violence against individual members of the business.

In the same thread: user @DeathToTheIDF@lemmings.world had comments removed for being anti-American “(again)”, though I couldn’t see the first time. It’s not even clear to me how the removed comments were anti-American.

Bonus points for the “DC Comics” removal reason. Though this seems to be incompetence, rather than malice.

    I’ll happily advocate for the Palestinians’ rights to kill as many of the IDF as they can manage. It won’t solve their problems, but they’ve got every right to do it, and nothing else that I can see will solve any of their problems other than better leadership in the US.

    I think you’ve probably understood me pretty well, what you decide about me is up to you just like it is for everyone else.

    Don’t go to lemmy.world, it’s a silly place, for this among some other reasons.

      Don’t you see the obvious contradiction between acknowledging that palestinian hard that right then censor the people who express that right. You don’t have to police how people formulate that right either

      I want to be clear that my beef with you has nothing to do with your opinion on the Palestinian genocide, and I’m not accusing you of being supportive of what Israel is doing.

      The only thing I’m calling you out for is your tendency to defend mods that are generally known shitwanks in the Lemmy community for no other reason than you haven’t seen it yourself and you’re a rules lawyer.
