Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org

And why is that?
What mumblefish said.
Every part of it is from the state's perspective. First from the minister involved, then from the police, and then the prime minister.
No part of the article includes anyone else involved, or even anyone not involved but from the pro-Palestine side.
The fear mongering of "what will they do next?! ๐ง" also never gets challenged.
Israel is committing violence upon Palestinians and this minister was shamed for his involvement, and he equates that with violence committed upon him. He's a coward with a victim complex and unfortunately the state and media right behind him backing him up.
It's a retelling of what happened, caught on video... gtfo
And you probably can't even read the fucking article in the first place
If it were purely a retelling it wouldn't have the perspectives of police and the prime minister who weren't there...
A transcript is a retelling, this is not that.
And no, hence why I responded to the translation.
My inability to read Swedish has no bearing on my ability to discern bias in this instance. There's no nuance that needs to be read between the lines from the primary source language.
Your getting angry doesnt change anything. Use your head, not your emotions.
Well, for one, at least the full interview: the questioning on his and his governments involvment in the Gaza genocide it feels the question from the SVT side is very incincere as they do not have a opponent that can represent that position, nor does hosts bring that position up. They just let the minister use the program for his view on the involvment. Usually what they do, at least for the far-right, is that they say that they cannot discuss certain topics as they do not have someone there to represent that point of view. Here, on the topic of genocide, they instead bring up the question and let his say his piece. The minister also talks about how these people in the pro-palestine movement has no limit to what they will do, but it is the anti-pro-palestine people who have actually committed acts of violence, such as driving into a protest, but SVT does not reply to this statement nor have a opposing side present.
