UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

To be fare Jewish people have been characterized as so many things that it becomes hard to not be attacked as antisemites
From where I’m from a caricature artist made a Nethanayou vampire bleeding out Gaza. It was taken down with a « sincere » apology that the artist didn’t know that Jews were characterized as vampires in the Nazi cinema
I'm pretty sure some of the famous Nazi slogans called them "vermin" explicitly
It wasn't just there, it existed long before the nazis

I don't expect people to have an all encompassing knowledge of racism/bigotry, but yeah...
That sounds like it would warrant a legitimately sincere apology if the artist was unaware. I don't understand what the problem is there, that's what a rational person would do.
