This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
All posts should follow this basic structure:
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.

Some acronyms you might see.

As far as the mod action here go, it signals that this is not a place for actual discussion and shareworthy news.
They are proving that their community is not for learning news and seeing stuff you would not otherwise had know it. This is a community to share only the things we all know/believe in.
The article is by CNN based on about 80 pages report by Dinah Project and shared and discussed by other outlets:
And other outlets.
The conclusion for me here is clear.
Oh, look... hasbara is butthurt because people weren't tolerating their white supremacist propaganda.
Yawn.
I normally hate on world news, in fact I have blocked it for quite a while out of disgust.
But this is a correct call, they did good here. The source is bad, it’s widely known to be propaganda, and its uncritical spread by USA mainstream media is a seen as a massive failure of journalistic integrity.
In other words, if the world news mods see this as a bridge too far, then other pro Israeli people should use caution when passing this blindly.
If one wants to know more about the hostages and what they suffered, read independent Israeli media instead.
Israeli reports.
They are currently trying to ethnically cleanse a whole other group of people. I would take any reports they made about the group they are trying to exterminate with a very large grain of salt.
YDI. It's Israeli propaganda meant to justify Israel's ongoing atrocities.
YDW, you should be fucking banned for trying to excuse genocide.
All those sources are knowm to lie for zionist propaganda. Take your hazbara lies elsewhere. The sea, perhaps, as you walk into it?
I genuinely think better of /worldnews for removing this. The fact they didn't ban you for advocating violence is evidence they're still licking boot though.
Yes, an independent investigation source would be preferred. This was removed because the investigators were not independent.
That's a good point too. I was lazy and didn't double check the organisation that ran the investigation.
Idk how anyone can look at that source, the Dinah project and not see them as propaganda.
This bullshit has been debunked dozens of times every time this genocide apologia is brought up. Why are you posting Nazi Zionist lies?
YDI.
You posted a propaganda piece and you are moaning about it being removed as a propaganda piece.
Newly created account makes drama when called out for being an apologist for a genocidal entity
YDI. the claims you made are either debunked or lack sufficient evidence (source) I'm not too familiar with AP News but I do know the other three sources you listed are known for promoting IDF / Israel propaganda
Associated Press is usually good. It's US based but it's usually unbiased and just reports facts. Their reporters were banned from entering the American presidential jet and palace almost as soon as Trump took office, so that should give an idea as to where AP's loyalties lay.
They have reported the IDF's statements as facts in the past though.
