United Kingdom
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.

They are different examples. If you wanted a proper comparison it would be graffiting outside the Israeli embassy. That isn't antisemitic because it's literally the country you would be protesting.
The monarchy example is a protest being in a location where everyone there is definitely a monarchist. You're not going to have ardent republicans queuing to pay respects to some old dead woman, or see an old man in a fancy hat.
The Golders Green example is going to a British community, who practice a particular faith, and asserting that because of that faith they must support Israel, because that country has the same faith. That is what makes it antisemitic, saying that British people must support the actions of a different country just because of their faith.
I hate this trope. "Conflating Israel with all Jews, is antisemitic". This is exactly what Israel does all the fucking time and Jews internationally hardly push back against it. Criticism of Israel is widely regarded as antisemitic, isn't that also conflating the two? Or when they call the October 7th attacks antisemitic? Someone doesn't get to call us antisemitic for criticizing Israel but also say Israel does not represent them. We can all see what they're doing to Gaza. Religion has fuck all to do with it
