I haven’t tested out my opinion that ‘Church is good, actually’ to see how that one goes down here but I’m not expecting the result to be positive.

Just to be clear then:

Are you claiming that the Jewish governing party, made up of Jewish individuals, in the Jewish State (Israel) are incapable of holding back their bloodlust to slaughter non-Jewish children on the basis that they see them as lesser than Jewish children?

Take a moment. Think about it. Because we both know that this is in fact what you have been claiming. And maybe you want to walk that back, and self-reflect, and think whether maybe you've gone wrong at some point in your justifiable attempt to seek justice for oppressed peoples.

I think we can all agree that the Jews and only the Jews have the right to determine what that phrase, which they coined, meant to them.

Let me give you the full sentence:

"Never again will the Jewish people put their safety and security in the hands of non-Jews."

Non-Jews were given a test with the Holocaust and we comprehensively failed.

From now on, the Jewish people will only ever trust themselves to protect them. Rightly so, in my view.

And yes, I do deny there's a genocide in Gaza. If they wanted to just eradicate them then this war would have been over many months ago.

Aside from the points made so far:

Expect it to be overwhelmingly very left-wing and radically progressive on social values.

You will get downvoted for expressing opposing or even skeptical opinions, often brutally. It doesn't really matter, Lemmy's 'Karma' system doesn't work like Reddit's does, but just expect that.

My account is like 12 hours old but I was trying out Lemmy on other servers well over a year ago. Nothing about that has changed.

You might feel similarly to the majority and therefore you'll have no problem.

If you don't, eh, well. There we both are.

Also, yeah, post links and create subreddits about stuff you care about. These sorts of alternatives only live if people engage with them.

If I believed that Israel was a genocidal "regime" (by which you mean democratic government) I wouldn't be defending it.
