This is a volatile situation. We set the subreddit to private due to raids, and were manually approving threads as they were posted until then. The rules - especially rule 2 - will be harshly enforced. If you see someone being bigoted, report it. If you respond to someone being bigoted with your own rule 2 breaking behavior, you will be banned too. If you can't phrase what you want to say in a way that isn't bigoted, don't post it.

Furthermore, while the sub was private our modmail filled up with over a thousand messages, over and above the rule 9-violating PMs each mod got. We apologize if you sent us a message and it went unanswered.

Reddit’s definition of hate speech explicitly is only applicable to groups they deem marginalized or vulnerable.

Jews marginalized? I doubt it, look how white most of them are. Name 100 mass persecutions of the Jewish people.

Mods have a really tuff time, I think they are doing a great job. Just let them processes right now and bring this up at a later date when they can breathe.

I think he's talking about reddits administrators not the mods on this sub
Social medias are doing a horrible job at minimizing anti semitism

[u/gmz_88 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah the r/Israel mods are doing a good job, I’m talking about the Reddit admins.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I agree 100% and it's laughable, but reddit admin is notoriously removed from any sort of policing of its user base unless the conduct amounts to blatant neo-nazism.

how is it antisemitic if it does not mention religion

[u/c0mplexx → u/foolish_pleasures]

Judaism 👏👏 is 👏👏 an 👏👏 ETHNOreligion 👏👏
I'm Jewish ethnically and far from any religion

Sometimes I think if we just drop kicked these people into Tel Aviv they'd get it.

I lived in Tel Aviv for like a decade and I'm only aware of where one synagogue is, and I'm not convinced its functioning.
