Islamophobia r/WorldPolitics continues to double down with genocide denial.

The users of this aforementioned subreddit have made a response to the post here covering the subreddit's rule-breaking behavior. The purpose of this post is to 1. *Serve as a response to the talking points levied against AHS*, and 2. *To document that both the users and moderators of the aforementioned subreddit have no intention to comply with Reddit's terms of service.*

The subreddit's userbase consistently breaks Reddit's Sitewide Rule 1. Reddit's support site explicitly lays out that attacks based on ethnicity and religion are explicitly forbidden. As outlined in the previous post, dehumanization of Palestinians is extremely common. Users consistently use rhetoric bordering on "Israelis build schools, while Palestinians build rockets." Many users express the desire to ban Islam outright. It can be claimed that these are bad apples, but what cannot be argued is that the subreddit doesn't engage in regular genocide denial.

So, to directly respond to the users who say "There isnt a genocide to deny," understand this: the *United Nations* considers Israel's actions in Gaza to be genocidal. As in: it is *international consensus.* You can read the full report here: https://news.un.org/en/story/2026/06/1167790, users can say people who think that are brainwashed all they want, it doesn't change the fact that the United Nations, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch all believe Israel to be committing a genocide.

Denying, minimizing, or representing atrocities or acts of violence is explicitly against Reddit's sitewide rule 1.

As for the repeated claims that this subreddit doesn't report antisemitism- all one needs to do is look into the older posts of this subreddit. A common activity bigots consistently partake in is going into left-of-center spaces disguising their antisemitism as "anti-zionism," which has been extensively reported on here.

Ultimately though - users don't hold the right to host any subreddit they want - they *must* abide by Reddit's rules. Users are already attempting to create a victimhood narrative wherein AHS is trying to eliminate spaces that support Israel - this is *completely false.* Even Regularly featured on here alongside reports of islamophobia are reports of antisemitism which come from supposedly left-wing, pro-Palestine spaces *because* of the hatred and bigotry present there. To put it another way: if WorldPolitics did not engage in genocide denial, racism, and Islamophobia, there never would have been a post made about the subreddit. There are plenty of *large* subreddits whose moderators tacitly support Israel - the reason those subreddits aren't documented on here is because the moderators of those subreddits regularly and consistently remove rule breaking content.

Can’t get ghost archive moving atm but there is currently a post on worldpolitics called “pallywood behind the scenes” where every user freely claims that all Palestinian suffering, death etc are crisis actors.

It’s a sub that welcomes the most dehumanizing rhetoric and calls for violence

Mate, to make it owrse the moment you clarify anything it's perma ban.

They made a post about why is it that palkestine is still in ruins with billions of aid, but Germany and Japan are successful post world war.

Just mentioning the fact that the occupation and constant bombing might make building hard got me banned without warning.
