Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Would it be fair to ban Americans because one disagrees with Trump?
Yes.
Was it fair to bomb Germans because of Hitler?
Is it fair to sanction a country because of it's leadership?
Would it be fair to ban Jewish Germans from universities?
How exactly is it comparable?
There are Palestinian Israelis
And? How is it related to what you said?
Because banning Germans from the US in 1939 would exclude Jewish refugees from Germany from the US too
Excluding Israelis also excludes people who are ethnically Arab from Israel
And?
We didn't discriminate against German Jews, why should we discriminate against Israeli Arabs?
Who is "we" and what's your point?
Americans didn't discriminate against all Germans during WW2, why should they discriminate against all Israelis when the US is not even at war with Israel?
What are you even talking about?
Americans because Italy was an ally of Hitler's Germany so you can't make the same comparison
Man, just put your thoughts in order. You are making no sense.
It makes no sense to discriminate against people based on the country of their birth or their citizenship. Is that clear enough?
so israel's action in gaza is justified because gazans attacked first?
Are you bating us to compare Israels almost two year long demolition of Palestine, to the attack that Hamas did back in 2023? or trying to justify that it is a suitable reaction to it? I guess you want us to discuss details and enter an endless fractal of back and forths. That point has long expired
so has the accusation of genocide
Yes. Its no longer an accussattion. Its more a fact and common knowledge
Hate to break it to you, but the entire state of Israel is actually on Palestinian land. The land was literally called Palestine by Britain before they gave it to Israel in 1948 or so…
For reference, Trump was born in 1946
One could argue that in the time before Christ there were Jewish people in the area, but if we’re doing that, pretty much every nation state is illegitimate.
Yes.
Many countries are already boycotting lots of American stuff. Nothing racial about it.
I could easily see a business saying no Israeli citizens allowed but still welcome American Jews with Israeli heritage. Still not antisemitic.
