PBS’s Nick Schifrin also defied the ban and reported the same information about the same missile strike from the same site as Loffredo who reports for The Grayzone. They both reported the strike to be approximately 1,000 feet from Mossad HQ in Tel Aviv.
Clearly Tel Aviv is a military base and not a civilian city. You can't allow journalists to report on valid military targets

The government of Nicaragua has stated that it is breaking off diplomatic relations with Israel over the ongoing genocidal war against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, which has killed over 42,000 people, more than half of them women and children. Nicaraguan Vice President Rosario Murillo announced the move to state media on Friday. The Central American nation’s Congress had, earlier in the day, passed a resolution requesting Nicaragua take action to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the Gaza war. The conflict, the Nicaraguan government said, now also “extends against Lebanon and gravely threatens Syria, Yemen and Iran.” Murillo, who is President Daniel Ortega’s wife, said her husband instructed the government to sever diplomatic relations with the “fascist” and “genocidal” Tel Aviv regime.

If calling out Genocide is crossing a red line for you I have bad news about your civility. I very rarely insult people unlike the Blue MAGA lemmyworlders. If I did they wouldn't have to make up lies about me defending the usage of child soldiers.
The projection from you liberals is top tier. Bad faith Genocide deniers calling others bad faith.

Yes you linked a definition which you did not read. The word denounce has nothing to do with telling people how to vote. Simiilar to FlyingZionist you also appear to be fully unable to differentiate between an action and an entity since I asked if the user was willing to denounce the action of Harris spreading Genocide propaganda.
Besides your poor vocabulary your hypocrisy is also staggering. Your link above to FlyingZionist was asking me to condemn the Houthis using Child soldiers after actually lying about me using Child Soldiers. Which i did of course because unlike all of you Zionists I have no problem stating that I condemn war crimes.
So clearly you have no problem with people making insulting me, or even and making far more extreme demands than a simple denouncement. You only have a problem with people calling out the Genocidal Zionist Kamala Harris when she engages in Genocide propaganda.
Nor does Lemmy.World have a problem spreading misinformation about Jill Stein since the Zio bots are calling her a Russian spy on the daily. Only when Kamala Harris has an accusation thrown against her it must quickly be removed for misinformation!
Your double standards speaks for themselves.

İsmail Beheşti was on his way to check on his ship, the Conscience, at the Port of Istanbul. It was the end of August, and he hoped the 220-foot passenger yacht would soon be loaded with aid and volunteers, sailing for Gaza to break Israel’s illegal blockade. But as he entered the port, where the ship had been moored for months, he was physically stopped. “The security forces did not allow me to enter the port. They kicked me out by force,” recalled Beheşti. To his great surprise, he said, the security officers told him “‘No, you are on the blacklist. We will not let you go and see your ship.’” It was the latest roadblock for Beheşti and his fellow activists from an international coalition that has been trying since April to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. They had already struggled to find countries that would lend their flags to the ships in the flotilla, as such a move could be seen as antagonistic to Israel. Once they did obtain flags, the flotilla planned to depart from Turkey, which famously supported a 2010 effort to break Israel’s siege of Gaza. But now, even though the Conscience has secured a flag and the support of U.N. rapporteurs, Turkish authorities are continually blocking its departure.

Two decades ago, Shahawar Matin Siraj started to feel uneasy about a plan to bomb a subway station in Manhattan. Osama Eldawoody, a New York City Police Department informant recruited after 9/11, had established himself as a father figure to Siraj, who was 21 when they met. Eldawoody was almost twice his age. He had shown Siraj graphic visuals of Muslims being tortured and told him that suicide bombings were forbidden but “killing the killers” was not. Siraj eventually introduced Eldawoody to a friend, James Elshafay, who was 19 at the time. Elshafay started suggesting actual targets, such as bridges and police precincts. Siraj offered an alternative: the Herald Square subway station. Eldawoody told Siraj that the “Brotherhood” wanted to support his plan. But as it started to feel real, Siraj tried to back out — insisting about 18 times that he was not willing to place bombs in the station. “I have to, you know, ask my mom’s permission,” he had said — suggesting that the most he would be comfortable with would be acting as a lookout. Siraj and Elshafay were arrested a week later. Elshafay pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years in prison and three of supervised release. Siraj decided to fight the charges, went to trial, and was sentenced in 2007 to 30 years in prison after three years of pretrial detention.

War criminals gotta look out for each other.

Amos Hochstein is one of the most influential members of Joe Biden's foreign policy team. He has been shuttling between Tel Aviv, Beirut, and Washington, DC, for the past year, as a top diplomatic envoy for the president. He is one of the two White House officials, according to Politico, who "privately told Israel that the US would support its decision to ramp up military pressure against Hezbollah." He is also a former member of the Israeli military. “I think [Hochstein’s appointment] tells you all you need to know about US ‘mediation’ in the Middle East,” said Karim Makdisi, an international politics professor at the American University of Beirut. “From ‘Israel’s lawyer’ in Oslo to a literal IDF soldier today, it’s consistent and tells you clearly that Israel is the only real concern for US policy, and then it's a question of using the carrot (Hochstein) or stick.”

People who denounce someone is are not going to vote for them. By saying that, you were telling people how to vote.
"Well you see, if you say something bad about Kamala Harris that influences how people vote!'
You don't even know the difference between the word denounce and renounce.
You call all mods (me included) Zionist. Did you find any evidence, or are you arguing in bad faith and being uncivil and insincere?
Maybe you should scroll up and read the evidence. Something about a Zio.World mod advocating to send weapons to an Apartheid state committing Genocide which he believes is justified to exist. It's highlighted in red. Oh wait that's switching the topic!

What an elaborate way to write 'we're trying to create a blue maga echo chamber no dissent allowed no matter how civil'.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society on Friday said that all its ambulances in northern Gaza were forced to stop over the lack of fuel due to the Israeli army’s incursion and siege for the sixth consecutive day. “Six ambulances are completely put out of service due to lack of fuel, as the Israeli occupation prevents the entry of fuel into northern Gaza,” Raed Al-Nems, Red Crescent Society’s spokesman in Gaza, told Anadolu. He added that the halt of the ambulances paralyzed providing the ambulance service to patients and wounded people in northern Gaza. Commenting on the situation in northern Gaza, Al-Nems said the humanitarian situation is “quickly deteriorating with the continuation of the Israeli siege. The siege is preventing the arrival of basic humanitarian, medical and relief supplies to northern Gaza,” he added.

For clarification; Extermination is basically Genocide without proving intent.

A United Nations inquiry said Thursday it found Israel carried out a concerted policy of destroying Gaza's health care system in the Gaza war, actions amounting to both war crimes and the crime against humanity of extermination. "Children, in particular, have borne the brunt of these attacks, suffering both directly and indirectly from the collapse of the health system," said Pillay, whose report will be presented to the U.N. General Assembly on Oct. 30. Israel says that Gaza's militants operate from the cover of built-up populated areas including private homes, schools and hospitals and that it will strike them wherever they emerge, while also trying to avoid harming civilians. Hamas denies hiding militants, weapons and command posts among civilians.

Heard that one from JordanLund when he kept telling his little sob stories about his Lebanese friends (which are now getting bombed by Democrats because he provides them carte blanche censorship. He must be loving that).
The reason the question "Are Democrats complicit in Genocide" gets banned from tankie.world is because this is your answer:
And of course straight up Zionism.

Sky News investigators obtained satellite images and examined Israeli army press materials, concluding that multiple military vehicles were operating in the immediate vicinity at the time of the incident, contradicting the Israeli military’s claims that no forces were present. The channel examined satellite imagery taken on January 29, the day of the attack. “It shows at least 15 military vehicles in the Tel al Hawa neighbourhood – where the family’s car was found. The closest military vehicle is just 300m away. One satellite image was taken at 4.31pm local time – just over an hour before the PRCS said it received approval to send an ambulance,” the report said. “Satellite imagery taken in the days following the attack show how heavy the military presence remained, with at least 13 military vehicles seen on 7 February. A day later, on 8 February, at least nine military vehicles were seen in the area near the Islamic University in Gaza City,” the report continued.

The sad thing is I side with your views with Palestine, but not your deceitful and hate filled approach.
You do not side with my views. Your side is Kamala Harris and Joe Biden which are perpetrating the Genocide. And you are even willing to ban users who call them out for spreading dehumanizing propaganda about Palestinians. Your side is denouncing the Houthi's for standing up for Palestine and pretending that anyone supporting that is somehow an advocate for child soldiers.

The article you linked also appears to be a hit-piece. The supposed accusations in the title are not from the government either but from media outlets.
Latvian member of the European Parliament Tatjana Ždanoka has been accused of working with Russian intelligence services since 2004 in a joint investigation by Russian, Latvian, Estonian and Swedish media outlets.
Daly herself was never arrested for spying or taking money. There's a lot of insinuation going on but surprisingly little concrete links. Or as she herself said in the article:
Mr Wallace did not respond to a request for comment. In an email, Ms Daly said: “Would you ever cover the work that we actually do instead of occupying your time with these constant attempts to construct elaborate guilt-by-association conspiracy theories?”
Sadly there's no OpenSecrets for Ireland so it's more difficult to track everything. Though anything with the name "Times, Telegraph or Post" usually leads to israel. Irish Times doesn't have an owner but a board of directors of 10 people. With so many people it's impossible not to find some guilt by association links but I do not feel like wasting my time on that
Rupert Murdochs' Times has posted multiple smear pieces on Daly as well. It certainly was not a one-off.

Your argument appears to hangs on the assumption that calling out israel and the Biden-Harris regime committing Genocide should be banned everywhere.
Do clarify your position though I'm very curious.
In a landmark legal action, a coalition of Palestinian and Dutch civil society organisations has filed a lawsuit against the government of the Netherlands, accusing it of failing to prevent genocide in Gaza and other Israeli violations of international law. The case, brought before a Dutch civil court today, seeks to compel the Netherlands to take decisive action against Israel’s ongoing military operations and the illegal occupation of Palestinian territories. At the heart of the legal case are two primary demands: a ban on the export and transit of weapons, weapon parts and dual-use items to Israel, and a prohibition on all Dutch trade and investment relations that support Israel’s unlawful occupation of Palestinian territory. The lawsuit comes in the wake of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) January 2024 ruling, which found that Israel is committing plausible genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Despite this ruling and numerous international warnings, the Dutch government has failed to take substantive action to prevent further atrocities.
Israel has detained American Grayzone journalist Jeremy Loffredo while he was on assignment in Israel. According to social media posts, Loffredo was detained on Tuesday along with four other journalists who were “beaten, blindfolded, and taken to an Israeli military base.” They also had their phones confiscated. Loffredo remains in custody, while the others, including Andrey X, were released 11 hours later. Loffredo’s last video posted on X reported the damage caused by the Iranian missile strikes on Israel’s military sites on 1 October. Social media users believe this is the reason for his detention as no local news organisations have covered the damage from the attack.
On the first anniversary of the cross-border incursion on 7 October 2023 and the start of Israel’s genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza, all that the UN can boast of can be summed up in one word: complicity. Western countries have either provided Israel with weapons or endorsed the genocide by reiterating Israel’s fabricated security and “self-defence” narrative. If a colonial, occupying entity has the “right to self-defence”, what about the people under occupation? According to the West and the UN, the colonised Palestinian people deserve genocide punctured by rare humanitarian pauses after which Israel is free to kill thousands more. Netanyahu’s speech at the UN General Assembly blamed the Lebanese for Hezbollah’s existence; he invented stories about missiles and rockets in garages and kitchens – just one missile in each room – which is preposterous. Next, Lebanon is being bombarded by Israel and the Lebanese are blamed for Israel’s aggression, because according to Netanyahu, it is the Lebanese people who can end this new genocide, when the reality is that only Israel and its accomplices in the West are responsible for doing this. Netanyahu doesn’t employ impenetrable rhetoric, he just lies. And this is apparently acceptable to the UN and the West’s “moral standards”. For Israel to exist, genocide must be committed, insist Netanyahu and the allies of the settler-colonial, apartheid state. Having basically endorsed Israel’s “right” to commit genocide, is it possible for Western leaders to sink any lower?
The Israel Land Authority is set to seize the land on which UNRWA’s headquarters lie in occupied East Jerusalem to build housing for illegal settlers. According to information released today, the UNRWA headquarters are set to be converted into 1,440 housing units.

Chaos has erupted after a major nine-date speaking tour by Nelson Mandela's grandson was thrown into doubt when he did not receive a UK visa in time for his flight. Zwelivelile Mandla Mandela has reportedly cancelled his flight to the UK, where he was due to address a series of pro-Palestine events in eight cities - Sheffield, Manchester, Edinburgh, Dundee, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Bristol and Brighton - including one alongside Labour MPs. On 7 October 2023, the day of the Hamas-led attacks in southern Israel in which 1,139 people died and hundreds were taken hostage, Mandela said: "We support the Palestinian right to resist and call on all resistance formations to likewise support Operation Al Aqsa Flood and intensify the struggle on all fronts." He also told the international community to "rise to the occasion and support Hamas and the Palestinian resistance in fighting their oppressor". After Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated by Israel in Tehran in July, Mandela eulogised him as a "great leader and an inspiration to all revolutionaries and freedom fighters of the world”. His grandfather, Nelson Mandela, was a strong supporter of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), which was at that point considered a terrorist organisation by the US and Israel.

To solve the conflict in Gaza, Israel must be declared a terrorist state, Polish far-right MEP Grzegorz Braun said during a debate in the European Parliament on Monday, marking the first anniversary of the 7 October attacks. “Israel should be declared and presumed a terrorist state. Mr Netanyahu and his ‘butchers’ are the largest and most criminal terrorist organisation,” said Polish far-right Confederation MEP Grzegorz Braun (Independent). “To those of you who seem to support the state that is occupying Palestine for so long: Can't you hear the words of Israeli ministers, ambassadors, rabbis referring to Palestinians as animals, as non-humans?” he asked rhetorically, comparing Israeli’s rhetoric to that of SS officers and the Third Reich leaders. Last year, as a Polish MP, he doused Hanukkah candles in the corridor of the Polish parliament with a fire extinguisher to protest against the celebration of Jewish holidays in the Polish parliament, injuring a participant in the celebration who tried to stop him.
