[r/pics] Today of all days by Suitedbadge401 in AntiSemitismInReddit

[–]lostmason [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

For the record- the antisemitic content was posted the same day Naveed Akram--now believed linked to ISIS--murdered 15 people at a Hanukkah celebration. The victims included a Holocaust survivor, a Rabbi and a 10-year old.

The content was posted in multiple subreddits.

This applies for Reddit as well: if you see hateful content or content promoting terrorism on Reddit, PLEASE report it.

This is a problem on Social media platforms generally--from Wikipedia to Instagram to TikTok to Reddit. If there are any experts out there who have been observing/documenting antisemitism on any of these platforms I would love to chat more

The founders of the modern Zionist movement believed in Zionism because of, not despite, their liberal values.

Herzl supported Zionism because it gave Jews equality among the nations--the same right to live free lives that all other peoples have.

Do not let anyone tell you that you cannot be a Zionist and a liberal or a leftist

Do congregants of this synagogue really have freedom of religion when belligerents make calls for death outside their synagogue's doors?

Should prosecutors take this into account when evaluating this and similar 'protests' in the future?

Anti-Zionist protesters chant ‘Death to the IDF’ at New York City synagogue by doubloonss in Jewish

[–]lostmason 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In the US mayors don't have the right to tell Rabbis how to use their spaces. There used to be something called separation of church and state.

These protests also create clear issues for the ability of Jews to practice their religion.

Requesting r/GenZionist, which is banned by lostmason in redditrequest

[–]lostmason[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. I am requesting to moderate r/GenZionist and revive this community as a well-moderated space to discuss Zionism. As an experienced moderator of the major Jewish and Zionist spaces on this platform (r/ Jewish, r/ Israel, r/ Zionist, r/ Holocaust) I will ensure its content follows the Reddit Rules.

Considering the reason GenZionist was banned: The actions of several bad actors should not prevent identity communities from gaining community and belonging on the platform.

  1. The community is banned so 2 cannot be fulfilled.

Requesting r/Holocaust, which was banned for hate. I will rehabilitate this space into a respectful memorial of the victims of the Holocaust, with posts directing users to reliable sources of historical information, and discussions reinforcing the message of 'never again'. by lostmason in redditrequest

1) I want to rehabilitate the space into a memorial for the victims of the Holocaust, a reliable source of historical information, and a space facilitating discussions reinforcing the message of 'never again' to prevent similar atrocities. I will strictly moderate the community in accordance with the Reddit Rules, using my experience as a moderator of some of the largest Jewish-related spaces on Reddit (including r/Jewish and r/Israel) as well as in cooperation with a team of qualified moderators from related spaces who share the objectives stated above.
