Yeah there are like, 2 valid-ish reasons for us not to have the Israeli flag burning as an emoji. Neither were actually defended in that horrible thread. It’s especially white to browbeat the people who are asking for the emoji as all being antisemites when they were all active users of the site, many are Arab, and none said anything even slightly antisemitic. Also “Jewish exceptionalism” is too far now? Ffs.
Z poster getting a seemingly permanent site-wide ban (no more news megathread for you bucko!) for it was also uncalled for just for pointing out the holes in other users arguments.
History of sustained hostility and wrecker behavior. PLEASE TOUCH GRASS AND ORGANIZE
White leftists going “please touch grass and organize!!!” as a escape hatch to any criticism they receive. The first part seems like grounds so I won’t comment on that.
See, so I did some digging around, and while it’s 100% true that they do have a history of hostility, among their alts (or at least what I believe to be their alts, I’m not infallible here) it does appear like there was a clear instance of the same mod telling them to kill themselves and it wasn’t addressed.
This was brought up to a mod who denied that the other mod was talking to the user, but IMO it seems pretty clear that the original message was addressed in the second person perspective.
It is ridiculous. I can kinda understand where the pearl clutching is coming from because in my own conversations with people in my country, which has a pretty low Jewish population, there’s been a lot of ignorance about the Holocaust and antisemitism more broadly, so I can understand why there’s an aversion to any narrative or term that can be weaponized by antisemites (those sorts of things fester among those who are ignorant about history) but it’s perhaps the most appropriate website in the web to have these conversations safely.

Borderline cop behavior.
Hexbear mods protecting their friends and outright lying, again
they’re arab, depending on the country if they touch grass and organize the U.S. or one of its pawns will kill them
But what if theyre killing so they can go to college debt free
dang I didn’t think for that, the poor proletariat troops just trying to do their job and live like the rest of us.
