Here's something interesting.
Journalist highlighting all the horrible atrocities committed by Israel the double standards and more has lost tens of thousands of followers.
Probably just a weird glitch but if you follow him, and refresh twitter automatically unfollows you.

His follower numbers is creeping back up again but it's still automatically unfollowing you from his account. Dodgy as. Another reason to ditch X.

I ended up setting up a bluesky account.

It's like what twitter was in the beginning. And that's a good thing.

Is this before it became a cesspool of hatred and shit (before Musk brought it) and then progressively got worse (before/during/after Musk purchase)?

Humanity would be better off without social media ... but I'm not sure if there's ever going back.

 

[Bradley]

Yeah, like original, early twitter.

 

[Accedalyday]

You mean from the 80s? 🙂

I get the sentiment, but well it feels beyond that.
Musk is a tit but meta have also been shadow banning ppl.
The various media outlets etc
Just doesn't sit right.

And yes.. sincere apologies for the publication I'm linking to.

But this shit is wild and I'm just not surprised anymore.

Assuming the story is real ... is it wild she's making nazi salutes and asking for a final solution - or that there's any reprocussion ?

 

[Mamma Mia]

I know it's already been mentioned, but this is a good overview of what happened in Amsterdam and the way the media covered it.

As horrific as the events over the past ~13 months have been, there's a small part of me that thinks the only good thing that can come out of this is the exposure of organisations and governments who are blatantly biased and trying to push a narrative.

As Liverpool fans, I would think we would be at the forefront of calling out lies, knowing all too well what media and government are capable of.

Tucking these discussions away is really disheartening. I'm losing hope rapidly.

Saw lots of photos online of her and another guy with captions of them saying horrible stuff.
Initially their faces were covered and then later photos of them uncovered with go find them captions.
If it's real I'd assume she's either a super self hating Jew, who though she has a kosher eatery in a Jewish hospital really really hates Jews or she (an possibly the other guy) is an agent provocateur.

I'd still like an explanation as to why?
@dee hasn't explained or answered the questions.

Was it a mods decision?
Suggested it was a request, was it one person, two more?

Also, in many ways I've lost hope.
The unbelievable racism, deception, outright lies and level of absurdity from govt and big orgs especially media is evident and clear as day but we're all supposed to believe it isn't happening.

Oh - you don't think a Muslim woman could work in a "Jewish hospital" (whatever that means), and say such hateful things?

I guess the truth will come out eventually ... somewhere.

I have no idea mate. I don't think it was a mod consensus, but I couldn't say for certain.

At first, I was pretty pissed off and also wanted to know, but I let it go and opted to rather engage in the discussion more, wherever it may be tucked away.

In my opinion, it's pretty ludicrous and transparent, and seems to reflect the times.

I think she owned it.
But yeah I'm sure a muslim woman could own the business and still hate Jews.

Yeah, I don't see evidence for these assumptions yet either.

Maybe it needs a poll to decide this kind of thing. Majority rules.

 

[keniget]

I'm not sure why things got re-arranged but but what different does it make whether it's here or there? Instead of clicking on one forum link, you click on another. Wow.

The government / the media / the forum admins... get a hold of yourselves.

I would say the media coverage here made things genuinely 100% worse, not exaggerating. Wilders pulling strings with several spineless other leaders who only care about 'being part of the process' has really weakened the country's spirit

As it seems you're there - based on the comment - Is it true that a 'pro Israel' rally by Dutch Christians has been cancelled by the Amsterdam Mayor because "We can't keep you safe"?

Best to hear the news from people who 'live it' than people who don't.

They banned all demonstrations for a few days, then relaxed it. I didn't hear of any bannings outside of that period

This is the update on that banned rally ... there's new details now about police numbers etc. Enjoy the shopping! 😉

No Lazio fans at "high risk" Ajax game, Amsterdam mayor rules - DutchNews.nl

The Europa League match between Ajax and SS Lazio in Amsterdam on December 12 will be played without away supporters due to concerns over right-wing extremism and the risk of anti-Semitic and racist incidents, city police and mayor Femke Halsema have announced. Both UEFA and local authorities...

If it makes no difference if it's here or there then why move it.
Simple question, should be a fairly simple answer.

Appreciate I'm a dog with a bone here, but I've asked a simple few questions.
The choice, and it is a choice, to ignore the questions is imo wrong and not really in line with anything this forum has been about for 20 years. If I'm wrong then just explain it.

 

[Fabio]

I'm sure there's reasons, but i dunno why this forums been made.

 

[Squiggles]

The GC is dead enough without splitting out the four active threads.

I'm a big boy, if I don't want to talk politics (which is often), I know not to click on them. It's not a big deal, but let's say the amount of activity in the GC needs to quadruple for it to be worth visiting.

 

[Atlas]

If only someone could offer the reason for why?
and again, like I said who requested it for what purpose?

Kinda cunty behviour to just ignore the questions completely

The basis of the International Criminal Court does not apply to the US/UK/Israel/France/Germany

Any other countries that commit genocide should watch out, meanwhile any of the above decide to murder people then its ok.

I don't suddenly magically appear on the forum just because someone asks a question. You could have checked my status to see 'last logged on'

As to why, someone asked me to see if I could separate the more political topics from the general chat. I came up with this solution.

Don't see why you are so excited by that.

 

[Atlas]

Someone?

Like I said, I didn't realise that's how the forum was working.. usually it's a forum vote effort.

And also, like I asked.. why?

Why bother making the extra effort.
Seems a few ppl at least questioned it

 

[The Nomad]

No comment on the Syria situation? No love for Bashir, but that place is like an extremist vacuum right now.

 

[Judge Jules]

Russian forces (Wagner Group?) have apparently abandoned a number of bases as the rebels gain ground. If they're pulling out altogether, Assad's goose is probably cooked. Goodness knows who or what might replace him.
