    EU set to impose much higher tariffs on imports from Ukraine

    Jump

  • @cm0002@lemmy.world Given the circumstances, could you editorialize the title a little, i.e. "EU preparing to impose much higher tariffs on imports from Ukraine" or similar?

    Ftr: The original FT article that gives a bit more detail.

  • shrugs Either not answering or answering in English seems like an option. I do understand that the latter feels weird though. But helping/allowing threads of German-only comments to form, unrestricted, is going to make this place markedly worse for anyone who does not speak German.

  • This is very late and I am letting it stand, but please note [rule] 10 we have here on the Lemmy community:

    Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.

  • The CLOUD Act and Patriot Act contradicting GDPR is the reason why the EU needed the various Privacy Shields to give some legal basis for declaring data transfers to the US legal.

    And no, most people don't encrypt their data before uploading to US cloud providers. That's the issue.

  • "Exclusion of the right extremists"? you mean like, when the conservatives formed a coalition with them?

    What do you think will now happen? AfD will just disappear? East Germany will suddenly vote for conservatives or leftist?

    You didn't exactly try to answer the question by @bennypr0fane there ... making this part of your response seem a little disingenuous:

    and it is funny that people don’t get it and just downvote me instead of engaging in a discussion

    (Fwiw, I agree, acting on underlying issues such as social issues is really important. However, another one of the underlying issues is state financing of their propaganda, and that is now much easier to stop.)

  • Hi. Mod from !europe@feddit.org here. Your submission in Tesla sales drop in the Netherlands due to global trade tensions | News.az was removed for bordering on misinfo: numbers correct, reasoning off.

  • but can I ask if this is the stance of feddit.org or just this community?

    Quote from the feddit.org sidebar:

    Content that is illegal in Germany, Austria or Switzerland will be deleted and can lead to an immediate ban of the account.

    Unfortunately I’ll have to block any group that requires complicity to genocide by ignoring the elephant in the room.

    I don't know what you regard as the elephant in the room.

    You can apply the word "genocide" to the Gaza war here (although so far, legally, we are at "suspected genocide"). You can also call Netanyahu "corrupt" or a "war criminal". You can call Smotrich a "fascist".

    But if to you, calling out the elephant in the room hinges on saying stuff like "x politician is literally Hitler", "y city is literally Auschwitz" or "z war action is literally Holocaust", then it may indeed be best to refrain from posting on this server. Besides legalities, I find all of these examples not helpful in understanding reality, because usually all the details are different. They're also in bad taste, given the large number of Jewish victims of historical Nazi reign. And I'd question your motivation for saying these things.

    Final thing: You may also not question the statehood of Israel. I.e., no discussing "one-state solutions". But this is not a Mid-East community anyway.

    It does not appear that there are plans for a European Credit Card.

  • Under German law (ianal), comparing Israel's actions to the Holocaust may be considered a criminal offence, i.e. Israel-related antisemitism (German explanation). We are trying to follow German law here - the servers are in Austria, the mods are not necessarily though.

    It also makes sense to avoid these comparisons for basic common decency and piety reasons.

    As such, I'd urge you to steer clear of these comparisons. Thank you. /f

    In European democracies, variations of a modernized anti-Semitism remain predominant, using various ciphers and allusions, among other things. Two aspects stand out here: (i) On the one hand, new conspiracy myths stand out alongside forms of subtle Holocaust relativization and trivialization. Ultimately, these almost always identify Jews as the "string-pullers". This is no coincidence: anti-Semitism is the historical conspiracy narrative of all. One prominent example is the claims that the Jewish patron George Soros is behind either a global "great population exchange" or the coronavirus crisis: Corona crisis is the Jewish patron George Soros - although his Jewish identity is often not explicitly mentioned. (ii) On the other hand, an aggressive hostility towards the Jewish state acts as an important medium for articulating and spreading contemporary anti-Semitism: Israel - the internationally "most important and succinct symbol of Jewish life and survival" (Schwarz-Friesel & Reinharz 2013, 172) - as well as against "the Zionists" (a now almost universally used cipher for "the Jews"). Link has preview pop-upInternal link: Anti-Semitic conspiracy myths and hostility towards Israel often end up appearing together.

  • Macron says France could recognize Palestinian state in June

    Jump

  • Then again, the fascists are only part of the government at this time. And while Netanyahu's policy is expansionist, he is unlikely to be entirely on board with this idea. And outside the government, the idea also does not seem to enjoy wide support (cf. the months-long protests against the new government.) In short, I still think you should not write "Israel wants ..."

  • Sooo, what your sources appear to prove is that at least part of the Israeli far-right appears to subscribe to the ideology.

    However, I don't see the accusation "Israels wants" proven, even as the far-right has gained a lot of power during the past elections -- notably, they were even excluded from the war cabinet.

    If a far-right German politician wants something, would you assume that "Germany, the country wants" that thing? /f
