I mean 9-11 didn't make people anti-American. But the crazy invasion of Iraq did. And yes of course there were those that hated America before any of that happened as well.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

No, but anti-Arabic sentiments and Islamophobia blew up in the US after 9/11…
The new research, released by the UK-based Institute for Strategic Dialogue
afaik ISD is a pretty valid and neutral analysis group, and this is obviously something expected.
That being said, @[email protected] has been spamming posts here with secondary sources ranging from mediocre to twitter copypasta garbage pretending to be news.
Not asking for a ban because he's posted some barely passable articles that have some additional info, especially on the Israeli side, but OP you really need to not spam with propaganda garbage. Quantity is not quality.
I'm asking for a ban, it's looking like an account that's been highjacked by IDF for propaganda
Appreciate your comment, thought the same.
Why is it anti semitic to compare Israel to Nazis?
Antisemitism include the hate of israel, the country.
Imagine Saudi use Islamophobia as a defence when people criticise them. That would be fun.
Imagine
That's the thing.. with Israeli fascism, you don't need to imagine
Antisemite and anti-Israel aren't the same thing: one can dislike what Israel is doing without necessarily hating all Jews, whether they reside in Israel or not.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
New research by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue found that in the days after Hamas' attack antisemitic comments on conflict-related YouTube videos increased by 4963%.
Antisemitic remarks have soared online since Hamas’ surprise attack on Israel on 7 October, with YouTube totalling 15,720 hateful comments against Jewish people in the following week, according to a recent report.
Part of this surge can be explained by an increase in the number of videos focusing on Israel and Gaza published on the platform.
Comments contained dehumanising language, including comparisons between Israelis and Nazis, conspiracy theories - ranging from the idea that Jewish people control the media, as well as political and financial institutions, to the claim that the Hamas attack was a ‘false flag’ planted by Israel - and direct threats to Jewish figures and officials.
The 15,720 anti-semitic comments it found on YouTube videos represented a nearly 51-fold increase in the absolute volume of such remarks.
The British think tank also analysed fringe and alternative social media platforms like 4chan, Gab, and Telegram, finding that antisemitism has significantly increased there too, with 4chan reporting the highest volume of such remarks.
The original article contains 599 words, the summary contains 189 words. Saved 68%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
yeah, seen quite a bit of it on lemmy.
