The only stories about this I’ve seen on Lemmy take a very pro-Israel perspective. Have the Israelis started doing to Lemmy what they’ve done to Reddit?

NBC’s coverage, as an alternative, says this immediately after it’s opening statement:

Videos circulating on social media showed violence in the city’s streets, with one video geolocated by NBC News to near Amsterdam's central station appearing to show people chasing others and physically assaulting them. Separate video geolocated by NBC News showed Maccabi Tel Aviv fans in Amsterdam singing “Death to the Arabs” and “Let the IDF win. We will f*** the Arabs,” as well as tearing down a Palestinian flag.

…which clarifies that the attack was the people of Europe showing that unlike their governments, they do not tolerate genocidal apartheid supporters.

You can watch the video can get an unbiased account including intonation, expressions, and gestures.

If you can afford it, you should try to find a therapist. Therapy helps.

Haaretz also reported this story, but with details behind their paywall.

This is certainly better, but it’s unclear to me whether this item:

Denying the right of Jews in the State of Israel to exist and flourish, collectively and individually, as Jews, in accordance with the principle of equality.

…implies that denying the legitimacy of the state of Israel is antisemitic. While I would have been in favor of a two state solution in the past, the genocidal mania of the apartheid state has led me to conclude that two states alone is insufficient, even with monetary reparations, and justice after the recent level of atrocity perpetrated by Israel might require granting Palestinians full government control of the land.

Ah! When we go to the questions further down:

Guideline 10 says it is antisemitic to deny the right of Jews in the State of Israel “to exist and flourish, collectively and individually, as Jews”. Isn’t this contradicted by guidelines 12 and 13?

There is no contradiction. The rights mentioned in guideline 10 attach to Jewish inhabitants of the state, whatever its constitution or name. Guidelines 12 and 13 clarify that it is not antisemitic, on the face of it, to propose a different set of political or constitutional arrangements.

Ok, this is a MUCH better definition. Thank you for sharing it.

Careful, per the IHRA definition of antisemitism, when one says:

As the descendant of a survivor of a genocide, the Holocaust, I refuse to be a bystander to another genocide

they might be antisemitic:

Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.

This is the definition adopted by the United States.

Seems like this was a result of Israeli arrogance, assuming it crashed or was shot down rather than recognizing that they aren’t the only ones with effective munitions.

They could choose to take this as a sign that war isn’t the path to safety, or that they just need to also depopulate Lebanon to bring safety. I think it’s obvious which they’ll do, of course.

 

Apologies for modifying the title. The live page has terrible article titles.

The government-run Lebanese Civil Defence emergency service says the five workers were waiting in a makeshift centre in a church hall in the southern town of Derdghaiya when it was hit by an Israeli air strike. We've spoken to Father Maurice Khoury, head of the St George'sCatholic parish church there, who says those killed were "a model for humanity and chivalry. They sacrificed their lives for the wellbeing of others".

Per other linked articles, Israel seems to claim they killed two Hezbollah members, but I haven’t found a single article that contains all the information in one place.

This post from that other place has a purported picture of the damaged church.

Why you should know? Money.

 

Two UN peacekeepers have been injured after an Israeli tank fired towards a watchtower at a UN base in southern Lebanon, the UN says. According to a statement by the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), the observation tower at its headquarters in Naqoura was directly hit, causing the peacekeepers to fall. "The injuries are fortunately, this time, not serious, but they remain in hospital," the UN says. It adds that Israeli soldiers also fired at a UN base in Ras Naqoura, "hitting the entrance to the bunker where peacekeepers were sheltering, and damaging vehicles and a communications system". There's more in their statement which we'll bring you shortly. UNIFIL is a UN peacekeeping mission created in 1978. It monitors hostilities and helps to ensure humanitarian access to civilians.

 

For example, Israeli politician Idan Roll on October 17 told BBC presenter Maryam Moshiri that “babies were set on fire” and “babies were shot in the head” during the Hamas incursion into southern Israel, claims that Israel has not proved and Hamas rejects.

 

In several cases, they accused senior newsroom figures of failing to hold Israeli officials to account and of interfering in reporting to downplay Israeli atrocities. In one instance at CNN, false Israeli propaganda was put on air despite advance warnings from staff members.

 

A 13-year-old girl was suspended from school last week after she expressed concern for Palestinian children in Gaza during a class discussion on Hamas’s October 7 massacre, according to Hebrew media reports.

According to Channel 12 News, when it was her turn to speak, the girl, a member of the Arab Bedouin community, mentioned that innocent children were killed in Gaza. “There are hungry children in Gaza, there are children without a home,” she reportedly said during the discussion.

Following a heated incident after the class in which dozens of other students cursed the girl and threw things at her, she was suspended for three days.

She also said that since October 7, students have repeatedly asked her if she supports the Hamas terror group because she wears a hijab headscarf.

“The students started telling me: ‘Our soldiers are not murderers,’ even though I didn’t say that… and others cursed me,” the girl told Haaretz. “They asked me if I supported Palestine, and I said no and that I only support the small children in Gaza returning to their homes.”

Ibn Bari charged that the school’s decision to suspend the girl was “extreme and even illegal,” adding that the other students had chanted, “May your village burn,” and accused her of disrespecting Israel Defense Force troops serving in Gaza after she expressed concern for Palestinian children.

 

While this article doesn’t mention it (yet), their Live coverage does mention that the soldiers also tore down and destroyed images of Shireen Abu Akleh, the Al Jazeera journalist murdered by Israeli soldiers in 2022.

 

You’d think eventually Israel’s enablers (us Americans, Brits, and Europeans) would realize Israel’s actions are motivating more and more war and we’d stop kowtowing to Netanyahu. Have we not already collected enough data on how effective our various munitions are at blowing off children’s limbs?

It probably won’t happen until the people who confuse Netanyahu with Anne Frank are out of power.
