Europe
Europe community on dbzer0. Intended to be a place to discuss European news, politics, or just general topics from a European perspective. Since this is on dbzer0 expect the community to lean more leftist-anarchist but a wide range of views are accepted here (within reason).
Rules:
1. No Bigotry or Hate Speech
Any forms of Homophobia, Transphobia, Queerphobia, Racism, or Ableism will be met with swift and harsh action and will not be tolerated here whatsoever. Bigots will be banned immediately on-sight. This includes apologia of it.
Trying to be politely or intellectually bigoted i.e. "Just asking questions" won't be tolerated.
2. No Zionism
Any forms of Zionism or Zionist rhetoric will not be tolerated here, this includes Zionist apologia, accusations of antisemitism towards anti-Zionists, or blatant denial or downplaying of the genocide towards Palestinians. Any attempt to uphold or prop up the IHRA definition of antisemitism, will be treated as Zionism.
Anyone engaging in Pro-Zionist sentiment or apologia will be actioned in accordance with its severity.
Note: Trying to find loopholes or whataboutery to see what is or isn't genocide denial or Zionism will be treated as a violation of this rule. Don't test us.
3. Stay Civil
Please maintain civil discourse in the community. Do not engage in arguments with others, name-calling, or insults. Note that calling out bigotry or Zionism is not considered an insult. In heated arguments users are encouraged to or even required to disengage failure to do so will result in mod action.
4. No Misinformation
Spreading of misinformation intentionally in this community is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Spreading misinformation hurts the credibility of the community and can mislead people sometimes in dangerous ways. Users who intentionally post misinformation as articles, comment answers, or in attempt to win arguments will be actioned swiftly.
Note: This includes Russian and Chinese propaganda. Users with a history of such posting will be banned on sight.
5. No AI Content
Please do not post articles or content primarily created using generative AI. Generative AI content may contain misinformation or be lower quality and thus is discouraged. Posts and comments featuring it will be removed. However this community does not allow or tolerate Anti-AI trolling or hostility and users who engage in such behavior will be actioned for it, additionally Anti-AI trolling violates Rule 3 and often Rule 4 so it is generally unacceptable already.
Note: Rules 1 & 2 may be subject to preemptive mod action due to their severity, and they apply to a user's entire post history. Not just this community.

Israeli jews are doing a genocide but you have you thought about the feelz of the coddled westoid jew?
I actually care very very much about the "feelz" of diaspora jews, who are actually not "coddled", as evidenced by (a) antisemitic attacks (actual ones, not IHRA fake ones), and (b) the number of people lured by the fake Zionist promise of aliyah. anti-Semitism is very real, in the West as well. But the danger to western Jews is not in the pro-palestinian movement, it's with the Far Right and its neolib enablers. The Christian Zionists are a far bigger threat to Jews who in Israel they have found the ideal "Madagascar" to get rid of the diaspora.
You are proving my point, thank you.
You can't see, really, how anti-Semitism in the West is carrying Zionism's water? The Zionist big lie is that Jews need Israel for safety. Every Zionist criminal is justifying their crimes by repeating "I have no other choice". Zionism gets its legitimacy from Western antisemitism. Ending the Zionist colonial project means stopping and reversing the flow of settlers to Israel. That means that our job in the West is (also) to make it a silly choice for any Jew to even consider leaving here for some middle eastern bunker.
FINALLY: THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE WESTERN JEW, THIS IS ABOUT ISRAEL GENOCIDING ARABS.
And every time like clock work, somebody slides into the discussion about the genocide with: bUt ABoUT tHe WeStErN JeW, ThEY ArE SuFferIng too
That dilatory to the genocide discussion. Western jew will be fine, children in gaza are being bomb with US/EU supplied weapons today.
You are not reading what I'm writing, are you?
I am not saying Jews are the only people facing prejudice.
I am not saying they face the biggest prejudice.
Read what the fuck I'm actually saying instead of yelling at what I'm not saying.
I am drawing a direct link between the genocidal Israeli apartheid state and antisemitism in the West.
I am talking about how the one feeds and legitimizes the other.
I am talking about how defeating the one helps defeat the other.
