General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I don't think Israel has a similar problem right now? If this was how Israeli politics worked you'd see right wingers and left wingers concentrating into one party each, but that's not happening. I don't see how Palestinians would cause the left wing to abandon all their causes and run towards the right wing and their genocidal agenda when they're the people advocating for Palestinian rights and a Palestinian state.

I can see your concerns, but this is a very unlikely worst case scenario. The two-state solution equivalent is "two states are created, but they hate each other and immediately go to war".

Then you need to read more about how deeply divided nations operate politically, and how people vote tactically.
