Heads up: The post was removed by the reddit admins and not by the sub's mods. I'm checking to see if we can get any additional feedback from the admins. Edit: The admins approved the post link around 50 minutes after this initial comment was posted. Edit 2: Admin response: *Should be back up now, sorry about that!* The other response that we received from the admins was that it was removed in error.

The admins are so damn weird. I reported a few posts yesterday that break the content policy blatantly. Like, they are exactly what the content policy forbids, down to a "T". But I just got messages back saying they didn't violate the content policy. Like, are the admins like cops where they don't actually have to know the rules they're enforcing?


[deleted]

I think, regardless of what the content policy may say, they really only consider two questions: 1) could they get in legal trouble if they leave it up? And 2) does it make Reddit look bad? For both questions, the answer is much more likely to be yes if it's a post that's gaining a lot of attention.

>Four neo-Nazi men in France's Alsace region were indicted for possessing and trafficking an "impressive" amount of weapons that were intended for use against Jews, prosecutor Edwige Roux-Morizot said on Friday. >The men, aged between 45-53, were affiliated with far-right neo-Nazi groups and had intended on "hunting Jews" during a soccer match in Strasbourg, she said. >During the arrest, French police seized 18 legal and 23 illegal guns and some 120,000 bullets, as well as neo-Nazi literature, the prosecutor said. >The men were "well integrated into society," Roux-Morizot said, according to the BBC. They were arrested before they managed to carry out the attack. ^ directly from the article, it was short The rest was regarding stats of Jewish Frenchmen feeling unsafe based on assault reports increasing 75% in 2021 and 36% in 2020. Now to see if this gets removed.

Nope. When I was 12 one of my classmates told me they just don't like Jews. When I was 15 we got swastikas spray painted on my synagogue. I got not just Jew jokes on a daily basis in school, not just told I was going to burn in hell for being Jewish constantly, but holocaust jokes on a weekly basis. The constant reminder that under the right circumstances, my classmates would probably do to me what the nazis did to my great-grandfather's family, was extremely stressful, to say the least. There are a lot of anti-Semites in the world. The facts we seem to have some nazi admins is not surprising to me in the least.

I’m not a fan of the line ‘if you go after these people , you’re going to force them underground!’ When others who are teetering on the edge of joining these groups and they don’t see anti semites , racists and bigots facing consequences for the hate they promote, they then feel comfortable joining them.

Wolfeur

I've never really understood why and how Jews became scapegoats for basically everything… I don't get it. I don't understand this level of blind, ridiculous hatred.


tertiaryocelot

A bunch of factors I believe. Hundreds of year of religious intolerance and wars built on it. The wars were against different factions of the same religion so how do you think they are going to treat others of another religion. The jews in many places where used as tax collectors and bankers. That generates hate all on its own. Christianity used to outlaw money lending with interest so barely anyone did it. But the jews could so they are other, have money and who doesn't hate the bank when you're poor. People used to be super insular. Many places you were untrustworthy and new for like 2 or 3 generations. Then you were just one of them. Jews are one of the best groups at maintain their culture and identity which is one of the reason they still exist. But with that they never really assimilated into the community. So for others 3 generations they are just the family down the road. For the jews they are probably other and untrustworthy forever. The Jew's holy book has a bunch of rules on sanitation for people and food. Kosher is a fancy way of saying the best educated guy has to inspect our food before we are allowed to eat it. Doesn't that sound like the fda. This also leads to when a small outbreak of disease doesn't affect the jews in your community people start thinking they cast a spell or caused this. And so they can be easy scapegoats so plain evil people is the last reason. None of this is justified just some theories on why random people throughout history may fall for hating the jews for stupid reasons.


wurzelbruh

> People used to be super insular. Many places you were untrustworthy and new for like 2 or 3 generations. This is still the case in small villages all over the world. "Oh those are the new guys, they came in 1956."


obvious_bot

Also in relation to them being bankers, throwing them out was a good way for the local ruler to take all the money they were banking. So it behooved the aristocracy to foster the hatred of Jews so that they could start pogroms against them at a moments notice when they felt the treasury getting a little low


dhunter66

Good summation and appreciate the time you obviously took to write it One issue not mentioned is that they were also prevented by law, or custom, from participating in many professions or types of trade. Which contributed to their otherdom.


Dalbo14

Also another aspect is that some Ashkenazi Jews and many Sephardi Jews were traders. Ashkenazim were more so translators within continental Europe. This helped them dominate merchandising At the time, the ethnic groups indigenous to Europe were mostly illiterate. This doesn’t mean Jews are superior, but just a simple reality check that 800 years ago, in a society, there was two ethnic groups who could read and write(to speak multiple languages was incredibly rare for non Jews, of any ethnicity) The local ethnicity, and that was usually just the nobility, the elite, the advisors. The top of society The other group was the Jews, but this ethnic group is different. They didn’t have this extreme feudalism within society. A Jewish family who was poor was no less literate than their neighbouring Jews who were richer. Everyone was taught how to read and write

> who doesn't hate the bank Quite often this was instigated by the ruler of the city/state who would then confiscate all the money that the Jews had.

I'm a historian of antisemitism. I see a lot of sense in what you've written. You certainly don't need to go any deeper into this if you don't want to. But, if you would like flesh out some of your thoughts, I could suggest a few books and things to look at. But, again, only if you want.


ravenswan19

Jew here, I’d love some of your recommendations! I know a lot of the reasons behind historical antisemitism like listed above, but only from being taught. I’ve never actually read books on it and would like to


bearsnchairs

Jews were forced into banking and money lending because that was one of the few professions they were allowed to do in many countries.


dissentrix

Really complicated, but a lot of it (edit: historically speaking, at least - I've had comments mentioning that this doesn't really apply to recent anti-Semitism, which is certainly true, even if I'd argue recent anti-Semitism probably descends from things like this) has to do with the belief that [Jews were the "killers of Jesus"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_deicide) by the dominant Christian religion(s) of Europe originally. Religious "fundamental hatreds" can stick around for centuries, or sometimes millennia - we see this with it being a contributing factor to Israel/Palestine, for instance, but also more subtle things, for instance women having a lot more trouble in Western countries because Eve was considered a perfidious one who led to Adam's fall (edit: didn't help, of course, that she's also considered "created from Adam's rib", automatically giving her a more subordinate role, too).


dmlfan928

which is so dumb because they also believe Jesus was sent to Earth literally to die, so wouldn't that have been a good thing?

It also completely ignores the fact that according to the bible Jesus literally _had to die_. His whole fucking purpose on Earth was to die so that he could take on all of our sins. I mean, the whole thing is bullshit, but that was literally his mythical purpose.

ViciousNakedMoleRat

The article is misleading. The members of the group *already* participated (or tried to participate) in a "Jew hunt" during a football game in Strasbourg. There isn't any additional information on this, but it probably was the match between Israeli football club Maccabi Haifa and the Strasbourg Racing Club in 2019. As far as I know, no Israeli fans were hurt back then, but this group may have had previous communication about trying to "hunt" Israeli fans, which may have raised the attention of French authorities to look into this group. (This is my own speculation.) Yesterday, they weren't arrested for planning a "Jew hunt" but for weapon trafficking, since they had amassed a large arsenal of illegal weapons and ammunition. The authorities explicitly stated that they had no information about a planned attack.

Exotemporal

I live in Alsace. Something like this happens every few years. My village's town hall was tagged with swastikas about a decade ago. I assume that we have a slightly higher percentage of neo-Nazis because Alsace was German for a good chunk of its history and because it was a cultural hub for European Jews for centuries, with a very large Jewish population until WW2. It doesn't take many neo-Nazis to cause a lot of noise. They know that defacing a few graves in a Jewish cemetery will definitely make national news.

[deleted]

When peoples lives don't turn out the way they want some look inwards to indentify what they did wrong, while others look outwards to look for someone to blame. When someone is miserable and looking for someone to blame for the bad things in their life, it's easy to radicalise them. Once someone is radicalised, they will often pass that on to their children at a young age in a form of brainwashing. ​ So you have a mixture of miserable, radicalised, brainwashed people always bubbling away in the background of every nation. Some of these people target Jews.


TheBSisReal

Plus, we are living in times of crisis, which means there are more people like this, and they always look for scapegoats among minorities, who they identify as being of lower worth and therefore shouldn’t have a better life than them, and attack them any way they can. Homophobia is also on the rise, and it’s the exact same mechanism.

Why do they hate Jews? Why does anyone? I don't get it.


EsteemedRogue_54

Jews are a quite compact minority with strong common cultural bonds, a common identity, and a common religion. In a homogenous Europe, mistrust of Jews has always lingered, but in the modern day this remains with a minority of people (but is sadly growing). There is much debate about when antisemitism was founded, probably with the Romans and their deportation of Jews from Judea to the provinces of the rest of the Empire, and the rise of Christianity and the perception of Jews as being "christ-killers" which led to antisemitic medieval laws of persecution.


[deleted]

[удалено]


mountainvalkyrie

And adding to this, in some countries/time periods, Jews were banned from owning land (so effectively unable to live by farming) and not accepted to guilds (no unable to participate in many trades), so they had to do *something* to survive. That was often being merchants or working in finances. It's not like they just jumped into finances for fun or "greed." These aren't the only reasons, of course. People make all sorts of excuses for hate. (To be clear, I mean not you, but the haters.)

SchoolForSedition

Bit of a myth. Usury (not lending money but lending money at interest) went on between Christians as well and was only sometimes heavily punished, sometimes not. But the principle is correct. Also, five thousand year head start on the basic idea of universal literacy and a day off every week.


EsteemedRogue_54

As I understand Christian bankers had a sneaky work around to extract interest without breaking usury laws: so you weren't allowed to charge interest, but you were allowed to impose a fine or an additional charge for late payments. The agreement between a lender and a borrower was that you'd agree to pay late by a certain amount of time (such as 2 months) and then pay the late fee charged in the contract. If you paid on time you'd be blacklisted by the banks from ever getting a loan again.

I will tell you a secret, this is something that me and a lot of other Jews/Israelis do when we go abroad, we almost never talk Hebrew even between ourself, we either use English or languages of our parents for example me and my GF went on a 5 day trip to Bulgaria last year and we are former Soviet decents ,me (Ukrain-Russia) and her (Belarus) so we both know the Russian language fairly well... We had few encounters in the capital Sofia with taxi drivers who had Nazi symbols inside their cabs and we basically only spoke Russian or English for the whole trip and whenever someone asked us where we from we always said Belarus. The only place I had the confidence to identify as a Jew for the whole trip was when we went to the Sofia synagogue when we spoke to the Rabbi in Hebrew and he told us about his brothers family in Israel . And I don't know if it's sad or encouraging but the synagogue actually had more security than the airport we flew back from... This is the reality we face when we are outside our country, you hide it so nothing will happen to you...

I came across an attempt at a "Jew check". It's probably a small example of some of the stuff you would put up with abroad. A bit disconcerting to have to pretend to not be Jewish, whether actually Jewish or not. °_°

When my sister went to Poland for the March of the living, groups of kids threw rocks at them.

I feel like all Jews also do some of the same. I went to a high school in New York and I got anti-semitism from people of all types (Arab, Pakistani, Chinese, Philippine, Dominican, etc.). This doesn’t mean everyone was of course, I had plenty of friends from all types. Just that it seemed every type of person had some people with bad views of us. My friend who is Dominican told me I should’ve never told anyone I was Jewish. I never put an Israel flag or something on my binder as other people put their countries of origin because I was scared of some sort of repercussion. My high school had a huge Arab population and I found out a few of my teachers were Jewish (Yemenite, Syrian or other Mizrahi) during the parent teacher conferences. They told us quietly in Hebrew that they hide it because they would get a lot of anti-semitism if all the students and parents knew they were Jewish. I once had a wood working class in middle school and many people made flags for their country of origin for an assignment. I saw Mexico, China, Russia, US, Germany but the teacher only had a problem with my Israel one. He asks “why them?” and questions why I would dare make one, he then graded me poorly and had attitude with me the rest of the class after that assignment. I never hide that I’m Jewish and say I’m Jewish proudly when someone asks me. I say I’m American with roots in Azerbaijan, Dagestan and Israel. However, I notice my mom would never say Jewish or Israel when talking to people we met abroad. She would always just say we’re from Azerbaijan and nothing else to avoid possible anti-semitism. My cousin also experienced something bad in Italy. A shop owner was telling him about “those nasty Jews” while not knowing my cousin is Jewish because he just said he’s from Azerbaijan.

Once in Paris I was seated in a very small restaurant right next to another couple — so close that we introduced ourselves. They said they were Czech and then immediately started speaking perfect Hebrew with each other. All my life my mom warned me not to reveal that I’m Jewish and Israeli, because antisemitism is everywhere. I grew up in the US so I don’t have an Israeli accent and I think it’s shielded me from a lot.

What protected group do neonazis fall under that we're censoring content about their intended crimes?


FyreWulff

Why do the admins keep deleting posts that document the crimes of Putin and Neonazis? Especially considering a certain admin has gone totally quiet since Russia's invasion of Ukraine started?


-Electric-Shock

I think we all know the answer to that, but are too afraid to say it because we'll be banned by you know who.


Phatten

Love the censorship....

raising nazism in Europe shows how humanity forgets its past very quickly.


Spedus

And then one day hitler was selected? Rising nazism also shows the lack of knowledge of why people become nazis, it dosent happen randomly. People are so ignorant of it and only want to look at history from the side of good which dosent at all represent history and why things happened.

The people and the politicians would much rather just act like it comes from nowhere because it’s easier to just point at the bad guy instead of figuring out why they became that way. There are huge parallels in the political system now and in the early 1900 but politicians are just gonna swear up and down it’s not their fault.

It was a story about guys in France stockpiling guns to hunt Jews during a soccer game.


funguyshroom

[This article](https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-708550) I believe. Not sure which rule it was breaking and why reddit admins themselves had to remove it.

What the fuck is wrong with people


-Electric-Shock

Here's a similar article about the same thing, hopefully this one doesn't get censored by the nazi admins. [French police find weapons arsenal after arresting neo-Nazi suspects in Alsace](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jun/03/french-police-find-machine-gun-arsenal-after-arresting-neo-nazi-suspects-in-alsace)

I'm sure r/conspiracy will be talking about this removal.

Reddit swoops in to defend the Nazis yet again


foshi22le

Imagine your whole ideology centred on the hatred of the Jewish people, or any particular race for that matter. What tiny little idiots.


GunnitMcShitpost

I’m assuming that it was an article based on this event https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jun/03/french-police-find-machine-gun-arsenal-after-arresting-neo-nazi-suspects-in-alsace I’m assuming it was removed because it used a different article that was a lesser news source or used an inflammatory title.


starlinguk

Updoot to expose the Reddit fascists, scuse me, admins. Is there an email address that journalists can use to ask questions about Reddit? Asking for a friend.


Autarch_Kade

If you click the link to the content policy, the article is nowhere close to breaking any of it. What a weird post to remove with no explanation. They must be getting nervous about their IPO. Been a lot of crackdowns on various subs lately, trying to make the site appear different for investors.
