I keep seeing comments littered across lemmy but do you know what I don’t see? Reports. So many people complaining about lack of moderation and absolutely no one is helping with that. You are included in that. How do I know that? Because Lemmy mods are able to see who makes the reports. There are none from this thread in general (outside of a couple of people using the report as a complaint button) but also zero reports from you specifically.
If you want active moderation then I might suggest actually bothering to call us. We’re not omniscient and omnipresent. We need to be notified. Stop trying to blame moderators here when you are just as fault. We have other shit to do. If you see something, say something. You don’t get to complain about mods not removing the comments when you’ve been supposedly seeing them and not lifting a single finger to point it out.
Edit: This is priceless. I’m looking through the comments and yeah, there are a couple to be removed for sure. But the funny thing is that most of the comments I’m seeing that need to be removed are yours. You have been acting wildly uncivil throughout this thread. There are a couple other comments that need to be removed but no single user in this thread has more problematic comments than you. Now I see why you didn’t report anything.
How is this meme pro genocide? Did I mess something?

Welcome to arguing with conservatives
They were told something is bad and that’s as far as their brains can go
I’m generally concerned that people on each side of the political spectrum seem to lack any respect for the other side. It is bad for democracy and is bad for freedom.
Im fine to argue with people on anything
It’s the people who don’t want to argue that are the problem
So basically everyone here

Who are we going to eat instead? Can I come to your place?
As long as you’re not being a douchebag, or, if you were, you immediately stop being a douchebag, I don’t think anyone has basis to eat you alive.
Ok this is a legit question, not trying to troll or bait… Are there African or east Asian jews? Like Jewish communities in Ghana or Thailand for example?
Yup.
Ethiopian Jews, Indian Jews, and tiny communties of Chinese and Japanese Jews.Edit: There are more, but those are mostly Jews that ran away / were expelled from other countries.
Like Jews in Thailand who fled Russia and Iran.Interesting, I only hear of American, European or Middle East jews.
Indian Jews are also the only ones amongst Jewish communities who haven’t faced any discrimination. Despite their presence in India for around 2,000 years.
First thing coming to mind are the Jews in Ethiopia.
There are East Asian Jews https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaifeng_Jews

Thank you for the knowledgeable and helpful post
That person really doesn’t seem to know what they’re talking about (Jews did not originate in Egypt, the UN didn’t “shove” anyone to the land, Jewish settlement has been continuous in the region, and after decades of pogroms which culminated in the Holocaust, many who were in the diaspora ended up returning since they didn’t feel safe anywhere else, but more importantly, like so many fleeing war and genocide today - were simply not welcomed by the “allies”. There is also no such argument that anyone who lives on that land qualifies as Jewish, that’s not how Judaism works, there are Israelis and Palestinians of all and no religion), I recommend reading some actual sources for yourself if you want to know more:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origins_of_Judaism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_and_Judaism_in_the_Land_of_Israel
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_diasporaAnd of course I have to defend myself in advance - despite all of the above, I am not denying that the state of Israel is occupying some lands illegally, and is oppressing and ethnically cleansing Palestine.
Both peoples have a rightful claim to parts of that land (and will, eventually, have to share other parts, or all die trying to be the only ones in control), and all deserve to live peacefully side by side on their homelands.Like I said I asked the question in good faith and did not mean anything negative. It was out of pure ignorance and the desire to correct that ignorance.
I think the prime example of your point of “being on this land doesn’t make you Jewish” is the hagie sophiea. It’s a ancient place of worship that has been “owned” by multiple religions over the years.
Oh, my criticism wasn’t of you, but of the person who replied to you with a load of nonsense. People tend to ignore/simplify/skew the history to fit their agenda (or are too lazy to make the kind of effort you are to understand), so it’s good to look at the actual documented history.
As for the Hagia Sophia comparison, I can see where you’re coming from, but this is all on a much bigger scale, which by default makes it much more complicated t figure out. But the first step is wanting to know, and you’re there, so good job!
Ethnically or religiously?
Both. For example Ethiopian Jews
It hasn’t been disproved that Ethiopian Jews are ethnically Jewish.
A genetic study showed a possible genetic link.Yeah I’m saying that jews are not necessarily ethically and/or religiously white
They can be black, and Ethiopian jews (amongst others) overwhelmingly are
Finally, someone else who gets it. It’s so weird that so many people think all Jews came from a single tribe at the edge of the desert. That’s not how religions work…
even weirder that most people seem to identify Judaism as an ethnicity and not as a religion.
Because it’s both? Jews can be both semites (ethnicity) and followers of Judaism (religion). Not all Jewish people are both. To make things more confusing, not all Jews are zionists, and not all Israelis are zionists.
It depends on how you define the word ethnicity. Look it up and it can mean any group that shares a common religion, custom, language, etc.
Debating if something is a religion or an ethnicity is like debating if it is a Group or a Club or a population.
I used to know a black guy that was German by heritage
That’s a country, not an ethnicity or religion.
The point still stands. All those categories are social constructs and we morally shouldn’t make them dictate our behaviors towards others and we should treat all human beings with respect and dignity regardless of how they look or which group they belong to.
The point was kinda weird to be honest.
His family came from Germany several generations back.
Yeah, thats… not that weird really.
Yes but most (racist) people just assume he’s from Africa.
In the US or what? Never seen that before.
Stupid English doesn’t differentiate between citizenship and ethnicity
How is citizenship related to this post?
Oh, I see what they mean, but that’s probably racist
…while some other people get it wrong in exactly the opposite way (you know, the Khazar nonsense)
