Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

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.

That's all the rules!

from The Forward [Jewish publication from USA]

By Arno Rosenfeld and Jacob Kornbluh June 6, 2025

[contains links to audio of his speech]

"“We are an apolitical, non-partisan organization, but you have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to see what’s happening on the left,” #Greenblatt said Friday, according to audio from the event obtained by the #Forward.

“There is a throughline from Occupy Wall Street to BLM to ‘defund the police’ to ‘River to the Sea,’” he added, referring to the Black Lives Matter movement launched a decade ago to protest police violence. “They are the same people, these are the same kind of nihilists.”"

Genuine question, is it antisemitic for ADL to suggest that opposing genocide is antisemitic? It kinda feels like ADL, IDF, and other political figures want to treat warmongering as an inherently Jewish trait or a Jewish right or something.

It honestly feels like they're painting Jews with this image. Kind of like how Republicans have painted a picture of America that is antithetical to American values as laid out in the constitution. But they will still claim that you hate America if you oppose them in any way.

“You have people hiding their faces behind scarves and keffiyehs like they’re in ISIS, storming libraries, vandalizing buildings and literally – I’m not exaggerating – terrorizing their classmates,” he said.

Wait... is he talking about the protesters or ICE here? Because it really sounds more like ICE to me.

Well he's certainly not taking about the IDF. That involves 1000x more terrorism and actual mass-murder, instead of the general "vibe" of terrorism, felt by some genocidal fascist mouthpiece.

ADL is a racist extremist group.

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 14 points 1 day ago

Does that mean they need to FUND these Student Protesters like how Israel FUNDS ISIS?

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

The ADL has completely lost the plot. Whatever they stood for before is destroyed.

If this POS ever saw a real terrorist, he'd shit his pants and hide.

Comparing is fine… equating is idiocy.
