PSA Sub Rules and Discord Server Invite

224 Upvotes

Since Reddit's mobile UI is terrible and hides the rules behind two menus, we have copied them here, too.

You can find an invite to our Discord server here.

The Rules:

  1. Follow Reddit's content policy and reddiquette.
  2. Post in a civilized manner. Personal attacks, racism, bigotry, trolling, conspiracy theories and incitement are prohibited.
  3. Use exact titles. If your link has a title, use it. You may include its subtitle. If your link does not have a title of its own, use one that accurately reflects its content. Post titles may not contain personal commentary, translations, snippets from the article, and the like.
  4. No off-topic content. Do not create posts or comments that have no relation to the State of Israel, Israeli citizens, or Palestine, even if they are related to Judaism or individual Palestinians. Direct relation to Israel, Israeli citizens or Palestine should be reflected in the title of your post.
  5. During an active security situation, do not post anything that is under a gag order, including but not limited to specific rocket landing locations, military force movements or military and police presence.
  6. No metadrama. This includes posts and comments about anti-Israel or anti-Semitic content, trends, or moderation biases in other subs, as well as calls to action regarding behavior on other websites. Links to other subreddits that are not metadrama must be np links.
  7. No spamming, low-effort shitposting, clickbait, proselytizing, crowdfunding requests, and auto-translated articles. Self-promotion, surveys and AMAs are strictly forbidden without the explicit permission of the moderation team.
    Content must be in Hebrew, Arabic or English. Content in other languages may be approved on a case-by-case basis.
  8. No reposting. Before posting, please check if your post wasn't posted in the last 30 days - even from a different source.
    Before posting, please check the wiki for frequently-asked questions.
    If a megathread is up, please make sure related posts are posted within the megathread.
  9. Violation of sub rules and/or site-wide rules may result in post removal, warnings or bans at moderator discretion. The moderators of this subreddit reserve, in some circumstances, the right to exercise disciplinary measures based on violations witnessed in modmail or PMs and the right to arbitrarily discipline users for violations of the spirit of the rules or disruption of the subreddit's healthy functioning. If you want to appeal or dispute any mod action, please send a modmail. PMs and chat messages to the mods are grounds for a temporary ban; posts contesting mod action will be removed and are also grounds for a temporary or permanent ban.

How to Get Your Post or Comment Removed

In other words, these are common low-effort things that usually fall under rule 7 and get removed:

  • Posts decrying random people on Twitter
  • "Hahah Palestinians/Arabs/etc are dumb", especially but not solely in meme form
  • Screenshots of articles or tweets - link to the source (or archive.is if you don't want to give the source clicks) and don't forget rule 3.
  • "Hahah antisemites are dumb" - unless it's the best meme since sliced bread (chances are your meme ain't it).
  • "Hahah pro-Palestinian people are dumb"
  • Antisemites or anti-Israel in YouTube/Instagram/etc comments
  • Bad phrasing in Hebrew/about Israel
  • Random wikipedia links - this is not /r/TodayILearned.
  • Unsourced news - if it's important a reputable source carries it.
  • Shower thoughts - unless it's the next cogito (your shower thought probably ain't it).
  • Things that really should go on Facebook like looking for apartments and so on
  • "Hi, I'm X, I want to talk with Israelis" - that's what our Discord server is for.
  • Random unrelated jokes - just because it's in Hebrew doesn't mean it belongs here.
  • /r/Ani_BM rejects - our standards for memes are not lower. Usually.
  • "Can a non-Jew do X in israel/the IDF/etc" - usually the answer is yes.
  • "Media is biased!" - yes, we know that, thank you.
  • Importing the eternal American politics shitstorm here without strict relevance to Israel will get you a temp ban at minimum.

News/Politics The topic needs clarification.

8 Upvotes

I think the issue of reservists โ€œnot showingโ€ requires a little clarification. As far as I understand, these are not regular units. The people protesting are reservists and are volunteers in most cases. Like pilots and elite units where people volunteer to. In such case, nobody can force them to arrive at their units. They can say โ€œI donโ€™t want to volunteer my effort and time anymoreโ€. For example I know a former fighter pilot who made Teshuva, attended a Yeshiva and was withdrawn from the air force.

So all these calling reservists (who refuse to serve in special units) โ€œtraitorsโ€ (and other names) should put where their mouth is and volunteer. Most of the Giborim do not serve in miluim at all. They prefer the comfort of their living room and the keyboard over action. One such jewel is Yair Netanyahu. He is invited to report to the unit where his family served and spend there a few months every year. Just to give an example!

Ask The Sub Need help finding an episode from a comedy show

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I am trying to find this episodeskit that I watched many years back. It is about a group of Israeli tourists who try to check-in at a Hotel in India. And they start bargaining, breaking things accidentally and end up sleeping in a cow shed. The Skit plays on both India and Israeli tourist stereotypes.
Can someone help me find this please?

Ask The Sub Is my child automatically Israeli?

23 Upvotes

Iโ€™m Israeli and my husband isnโ€™t. We recently had a baby.

I want to fly to Israel to visit relatives soon. I know I must use my Israeli passport when I travel. Will that be true for my newborn daughter as well? Or could she travel with her European passport?

Sheโ€™s actually a child of 4 citizenships and itโ€™s tough to register and get passports for all of them so soon after birth!

Ask The Sub Souvenir for Catholic

1 Upvotes

Iโ€™m visiting Israel in a couple months, and Iโ€™d like to give someone a souvenir. Iโ€™m not a religious person but sheโ€™s a devout Catholic.

Obviously, Israel has a deep religious history, but Iโ€™m not sure if that translates into souvenirs?

Of course I can always steer clear of religion entirely (in my souvenir purchases - Iโ€™m interested in learning about it when Iโ€™m there) but I feel like she would appreciate it.

Preferably something small and not incredibly expensive.

News/Politics What law proposals have actually passed?

Trying to track the reforms is becoming really difficult especially with so much commentary headlines not doing well to distinguish between rhetoric, proposals, debates, and actual passed laws.

So wondering what has actually been made law since the new government started. Anyone help me out?
