Pro-Israel rabbis demand Mamdani apologise for likening Aipac to 'monsters' (www.middleeasteye.net)

More than 700 pro-Israel rabbis have signed onto an open letter published on Friday calling on New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to retract his comments likening the pro-Israel lobbying group Aipac to "monsters".

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee is among the most powerful advocacy groups working on foreign policy in the US, spending millions to oust political candidates who are critical of Israel.

The letter was organised by the relatively new advocacy group The Jewish Majority, founded by an Aipac veteran of nearly two decades, Jonathan Schulman.

IRGC says it targeted US army in region in response to attack (aje.news)

submitted 1 month ago by cm0002@toast.ooo to c/world@quokk.au

6 comments fedilink

The IRGC said its Navy targeted locations in the region where US forces are deployed, without specifying where or providing additional details.

It condemned the US strikes on Iran, saying Washington, “as always, violated its commitments and launched an air strike” on the Iranian coast.

“According to Article 5 of the Memorandum of Understanding, Islamabad has arrangements for controlling traffic in the Strait of Hormuz with the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the IRGC said.

“However, the US, by inciting various parties, sought to violate this commitment, which was met with the necessary response,” the statement continued. “If the aggression is repeated, our response will be more extensive.”

Co-creator of Lemmy and a "tankie", it seems

Yea, lol, writes decent software though and mostly keeps their ideology out of the code

Why am I cross-posting .ml content?

I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some active niche comms.

Megathread on the issue

Some highlights from the link:

Dessalines, head .ml admin, lead Lemmy dev actively spreading genocide denialism https://sh.itjust.works/post/61371958

.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

"If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

"Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

"See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

"NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

Hi! Np, it was crossposted because the community you posted to is on an instance run by authoritarians who propagate Russian propaganda about Ukraine, deny the many China human rights violations and declare the NK isn't actually totalitarian amongst other things

See below for examples and a megathread documenting it

I think I understand your comment for the most part, so if that's the case, why do you contribute to .ml at all if you're already against his authoritarian ideologies?

There's lots of general meme comms you can contribute to that are off-world as well (I think a lot of us are also now avoiding posting to .world, I for one have completely cut myself off from posting there) besides this one there's

Depends on what you want for the return, many see "returns" not just monetarily, but in making things like open source and the Linux ecosystem stronger and more secure for later down the line
