Worldnews just removed the story of the 91 YO Dutch man who saved jews in WWII and whose family was murdered by Israel in Gaza

This is unbelievable.

The mods just removed this story: http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/2do23d/dutch_man_who_shielded_jews_from_nazis_returns/

How do they have the balls to do this after they let that shit from jpost.com and timesofisrael.com remain there with all its lies and weasel journalism?

We need to bring this to Reddit admins' attention, we need to make noise about this.

EDIT : Received this from one of their moderators.

Feel free to contact the admins if that is your choice. However, if you could adequately explain to me how this episode constitutes 'world news', I would be more than willing to listen. If you can sway my opinion, I may be willing to concede.

So they shoot first and you must "sway their opinion" later. Interesting.

EDIT 2 Just checked and this is the only post in the top 25 on /r/conspiracy to which the kind mods added a flair. Is there a reason for this?

Why do people still post on /r/worldnews ? That place is hasbara central, the Zionist shills control that subreddit.. Its beyond hope and there definitely is an organized and coordinated effort going on. This isnt the first time news has been censored there and it will not be the last.

Even if an article that is critical of the Israeli regime or gives a positive impression of the Palestinian resistance somehow manages to escape the downvote brigade you would get the same group of users with the top comments about how Israel had the right to murder that child, how Hamas is using human shields, how this story is a fabrication, how "both sides are to blame" etc. etc.

The best thing to do is to unsubscribe and focus on the more "resistant" subreddits.

I understand and completely support what you're doing, but the problem in /r/worldnews goes right up to the very top of the people that control that sub. Ive lost count of the number of posts that have been removed, suspiciously they're almost always about the Zionist regime.

Try my sub /r/UnbiasedWorldNews NO censorship of posts from legit news sites.

Great idea, but please stop spamming, make a new thread where you can explain your sub.

ty. Please spread the word if you find the sub worth your time.

/r/worldpolitics is also a free speech sub -- with over 120,000 users.

This is bullshit, the best thing isn't to unsubscribe, /r/worldnews has a huge amount of subscribers, and despite your rant, the anti-Israel narrative actually broke through to the surface very strongly on many occasions during the recent conflict. Due to the voices and votes of people who weren't quite so quick to give up.

People like that get banned sooner or later. If he uses even the most benign expletive, it's over. They find these people and wait in the bushes to find anything they can use their rules against.

And /u/cojoco is a moderator so that is all that needs to be said

that deals with world politics. Not necessarily world news. All news. Any news from a legit site.

Or, how bout you make me!

You've spammed this entire discussion with your bullshit. One post with how you mod another subreddit would've been sufficient. You went and did it half a dozen times because of your inferiority complex.

And judging by your comments history, you are a troll who cannot respond to anyone or anything without being a cunt. Seriously! Every fucking comment you make in your history is abusing someone. So, you fuck off. And this post was two days ago. I haven't done it since, but I suppose reality is irrelevant to dicksuckers like you.

Haha I don't consider my time very valuable but it takes a special type of loser such as yourself to scroll through 2 years of someone's comment history. Also...generalization. I'm not a troll at all even though I occasionally feed on butthurt.

I wanted to know if you were worth conversing with reasonably like a decent person, or if I should just Troll you for fun. Guess what I have decided!

I second this. If this can't be allowed to be news, then it's war and Reddit loses.

Try my sub /r/UnbiasedWorldNews NO censorship of posts from legit news sites.

"Legit"... ha! I smell censorship!

SO you would post "news" from an illegitimate news site? The only rules are no blogspam and no porn. World news does not come from either source. So what is your problem with a rule that keeps this sub exactly as its title demands? You don't smell censorship, what you smell is your own bullshit. Stick around and let me prove you wrong about the censorship. Give the sub a chance. I get that you are pissed about getting censored in other subs. I have had that happen to me many times. It is why I started this. Please don't let your anger with the mods of other subs drive your suspicion.

"Legit" is so subjective. Huffington Post and Drudge Report started as blogs.

Try the sub or don't. I am not petty enough to argue semantics with an ass.

Hey guys! Watch this marketing genius attract subscribers by calling them names!

Nobody wants a subscriber like you.

ty

Try Tyger.ac. There's a profit motive to have as many news stories as possible, so no censorship.

The r/worldnews kill-tag says: No Local Human Interest Stories

LOCAL?

Story about a Dutch man

Who was awarded a medal by Israel

For saving Jew(s) during the German occupation the Netherlands during WWII

Man returns medal to Israeli Embassy

Because Israel murdered 6 of his family members in Palestine

Article says that the story was also publicized in Israeli newspaper Haaretz and "widely circulated in the Dutch media"

Linked story published in a Lebanese newspaper who sourced Agence France Presse

And /r/worldnews YANKED it saying "No LOCAL Human Interest Stories"?

I'm sending this link to worldnews mod DonTago, who reportedly said "However, if you could adequately explain to me *how this episode constitutes 'world news', I would be more than willing to listen*. If you can sway my opinion, I may be willing to concede.

I'll ask DonTago to answer in the thread. Let's see what DonTago has to say.

EDIT: Note dispatched

EDIT II: Story is back up on /r/worldnews

np.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/2dosf8/a_dutchman_honoured_by_israel_for_hiding_a_jewish/

Currently at #15 on the worldnews page - citing the BBC report on the story

EDIT III: REMOVED AGAIN citing the SAME BULLSHIT EXCUSE and all comments mentioning that it had PREVIOUSLY been removed from /r/worldnews have been DELETED.

This must really be rubbing some Zionist nerves!

forget /r/worldnews -- the mods have destroyed that one.

switch your attention to /r/worldpolitics -- an actual free speech sub.

But the problem is that /r/worldnews is a default subreddit. Abandoning it would mean leaving masses in the hands of idiots, bigots and ofc shills (of varying political motivations).

not related but important - how do we remove jpost.com timesofisrael.com as sources from worldnews , because they are Israeli equivalent of RT based on criteria used to ban RT from worldnews ?

Do we contact mods collectively , do we make a thread or what ?

Or at least one timesofisrael (IMO worse piece of Israeli pure propaganda tool)

/r/worldnews is only entertainment. Don't let it get to you!

I posted the story when it broke and it didn't get censored. didn't get much traction either though.

[deleted]

The usual JIDF approach.

It didn't fit their agenda.

Sigh, i had an artikle about how isreal is preforming its media war, it is using students and social media to twist information, this is a perfect example of it... I am trying to find it back, but i cant it is somewhere in my saved links or it was a facebook feed or idk..... if i find it again ill post it.. the title was somthing like: Isreals media war using students and social media... i think, its a wile ago...

but yea shoudent we spam the admins about this?

Thank you!

the one i was looking for isn't there doh, but i got 4 extra sourses now!!

THANKS

Post this or anything like this on /r/UnbiasedWorldNews. A replacement for /r/worldnews and anyone who is sick of their shit! It will not get deleted there. I am a mod of that sub. We welcome any news story from legit news site. No censorship of such posts. Up and down votes decide if something should live or die on this site. All are welcome. It is still small, but you will not be censored. Help me grow it into a true replacement for the insulting nanny/dinosaur of /r/worldnews.

I don't honestly know if I could be a 100% unbiased mod, but if it were me I'd let that post stay worldnews since it is in direct reference to a middle east crisis which happens to be the top of all major news agencies world news section.

The biggest problem with Reddit is moderators get rid of them.

I wonder if the /r/worldnews mods all look like this

wow thats pretty awesome!!!

EDIT 2 Just checked and this is the only post in the top 25 on /r/conspiracy[3] to which the kind mods added a flair. Is there a reason for this?

/r/conspiracy has a flair system for submissions in this subreddit that seek to highlight censorship throughout the rest of the site. I'm guessing a moderator sees the submission and flairs it.

This is definitely not world news, and it should have been removed.

Why are Muslim propaganda news sources any better than Jewish propaganda ones? legitimately curious why you feel something like timesofisrael or jpost is worse than electronic intifada or a .ir site.

[deleted]

Also, you are going to label a whole countries webspace as propaganda? GTFO!

You just labeled a whole race's webspace propaganda. How is this any different? According to you, all Jews are liars, according to 99% of the world all Muslims are liars.

Same stupid racism, why is one better than the other? People like you prove the hypocrisy in the "anti-Zionist" movement is actually just racist antisemitism.

It's not part of my religion. Source: Jew. You don't speak for me, troll.

literally worse than Gene Simmons

Fix this bot by coding it to include the corrected link, otherwise it is an eyesore, teaches people nothing and is 99% usless. I can fix it in 10 minutes if you give me the code.
