In fealty to US foreign policy, Mexico has long refused to recognize Palestinian statehood. Last week, that finally changed, with AMLO’s government officially acknowledging Palestinian statehood and establishing a full embassy in Mexico City.
On June 2, the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates announced that, as of the first of the month, it had reclassified its diplomatic mission in Mexico from special delegation to embassy. The ministry “expresses its firm conviction that this measure will contribute significantly to the . . . strengthening of relations between Mexico and the State of Palestine, on the basis of respect and mutual recognition, in benefit of our two peoples as well as international security and development,” it affirmed in a statement.
mods couldn’t handle the anti-Semitism there
Being against violent, racist, and fascist israeli action is not anti-semitic. When a white christian stands up and says they want a pure christian nation we all talk about how absurd it is. But when someone jewish says the same thing anyone who questions that obviously flawed statement is suddenly an antisemite. I get it Israel has a long and violent history and much of that was perpetrated by their neighbors that does not in any way excuse their behaviour.
Stumbled across that post and went to the mod log and saw everyone banned for 338 years and all of the mod logs show the comments as edited instead of deleted. Kind of stinks of mod abuse. But there is no way to tell because the comments weren’t delete they were modified which completely defeats the purpose of the mod log.
I don’t think that’s what happened, my browser’s language is in Italian and I don’t see “deleted by mod”, but the Italian for it. Though I still can’t find them in the modlog so I’m still confused.
If you look at the mod log for that community ( https://lemmy.world/modlog/2840 ) they appear. They just dont appear in the lemmy.world mod log. So it’s significantly less suspicious… but its also obvious that c/world has an anti Israel bias. The one guy got banned for 338 years for posting facts that are not necessarily pro-Israel. I can even understand deleting all the comments since pal-israel is such of hot button topic. But the 338 year bans seem like a ridiculous overstep.
Ah well, I blocked the community. If they cant provide unbiased news I’ve got no room for them.
