A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Queva’s posts, which have still not been taken down, are of a rambling and vitriolic nature, and she refers to the “holohoax” and “AshkeNazis”, the latter of which is a play on the word ‘ashkenazi’, meaning Jews who descend from those who lived in Central or Eastern Europe.
Kind of unrelated but since Israel has really stepped up their "any criticism of what we do is antisemitism" whenever I see someone get accused of antisemitism my first reaction is "yeah sure, did they say Israel shouldn't bomb hospitals or something?"
So even in cases like this where its 100% actual antisemitism, Israel bullshit affects your opinion of it.
Legit. Zionism using Judaism as a shield has made gestures around exceptionally dangerous for Jewish people.
This person was a schedule co-ordinator, their job role is to schedule meetings for staff. They have zero influence over the BBC's content and their personal views are frankly irrelevant.
This is barely any more concerning than hearing a janitor at a McDonald's was racist.
Yeah it's just the latest in the long, long, long, long, long, long, long series of isolated incidents of antisemitism by BBC staff, which is totally not indicative of an institutional problem. Neither is the fact that they've spent the better part of half a billion keeping the public from finding out the contents of the Balen Report.
If an openly vocal white supremacist works at my local McDs even as a janitor, Im not going to McDs.
Their views and influences are relevant in the real world, and affect coworkers.
McDonalds employs millions of people across the world, and you would let one insignificant idiot who was disciplined over it define the company?
That's certainly an extreme take, especially when action has been taken against said employee.
This article is grasping at straws.
Antisemitism is so easy for others to pass off as inconsequential. In fact, folks like you have been doing it for a millenia or two.
One persons views are inconsequential and this is part of a wider effort to brandish antisemtism as a weapon to discredit trusted institutions who are speaking out against Israeli war crimes.
