    So where’s the hate-crimes prosecution?

    Never mind, it’s New York, they’ll probably go after the woman instead.

    She was a Jew and “The men seem to believe she was part of a pro-Palestinian protest against a visit by Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir earlier that day, but it’s been reported she was just a concerned resident”

      So a Jewish women protesting against genocide was harassed by a racist mob chanting pro-genocidal slogans.

      It doesn’t matter if you are jewish or not. If you dare criticize Israels genocide you are anti-semitic. If you are Jewish you must support Israel and all their war crimes.

    “Itamar Ben-Gvir supporters” are literally called terrorist sympathizers, at best. An Israeli court convicted him of terrorism related offenses. It’s not even controversial. It’s like saying El Chapo wasn’t in a cartel or that Trump never gave $3 hand jobs in an alleyway near the Sbarro in midtown NYC that now sits on West 33rd St.

        I don’t know. I live in New Orleans and they had a Red Lobster in the suburbs and someone is trying to put Chick Fil’A restaurants all over town. (The someone is literally a guy who got rich via owning a garbage truck company.)

        Tourists like shitty fast food sometimes. I don’t know why people get the worst fried chicken in the city but people do. Some toddlers throw a fit if their dinner isn’t chicken nuggets.

        For the same reason there’s a TGI Friday in time square. McDonald’s. Olive Garden. It’s there for the tourists that rather have their slop.

          But fake NY pizza in NY? Just go to literally any local. It’s not like a Sbarro in Kandahar, that I’d get, but this still makes no sense.

            I personally know people that think sbarro (and Olive Garden as a proxy) is on par with “other pizza” as its own thing. Those people recognize it’s not “real pizza”; they just like it for what it is.

              Tbf, sometimes I’m right there with em, I’m not above drunk ordering some dominos, or on the rare occasion I go to a mall I may hit the Sbarro (but the fake Chinese food wins every time, let’s be real), but it’s literally the same thing just more fresh and made to better specs! It’s not even “real tacos V taco bell,” it’s such a close approximation of the “real” thing but lacking soul, whereas taco bell is so far from real tacos that it’d be more understandable to prefer the fake version. Like even Olive Garden V real italian I get, because it’s americanized enough, but Sbarro is not far enough removed from real pizza as to necessitate this phenomenon.

              I could understand getting Sbarro in Chicago, for those averse to deep dish, because it’s a whole different style. I could understand some Chicago chain in NYC, for those who want deep dish. I could even understand Jets “detroit” style, because that’s different too, but Sbarro in NYC is literally just “worse and more expensive version of the same thing you could have got in 20 different shops on your way here.”

    The good news is we have these assaults on tape, so I’m sure there will be a robust investigation and the attackers will be held to justice. Right?

      Does anyone know of lemmy instances without as much censorship?

      I’d like to decide for myself what I get to see. There’s a block button for that reason.

        If you run your own, you can just undo the moderated action. I do that often on my instance just to see it without having to trawl through a modlog. But you should be able to also see it in the Modlog if you look there, can even filter by username.

        Lemmy shows that we can’t just give randoms the ability to be authoritarians. We need a government that forces these people to not censor.

          I disagree. The government doesn’t need to step in and dictate how lemmy moderators moderate.

          We just need to build and support communities that don’t abuse mod powers over those that do.

      You just haven’t been paying attention. Israel is a fascist ethno-supremacist state from its very founding as a settler-colonial project.

      "It would be an excellent idea to call in respectable, accredited anti-Semites as liquidators of [Jewish] property. To the people they would vouch for the fact that we do not want to bring about the impoverishment of the countries we leave. The anti-Semites will become our most dependable friends, the anti-Semitic countries our allies.”
